II be in the heating process. it will be
just as good food and will be r.lished
BY the animals quite as much AS old
si'age, II Is generally conceded, how
ever. that silage which is several
months old is better than newer sill
age, Some feeders prefer silage that
is six months to year old However,
it may be safely said that silage can
be fed from the time the blower pipe
is taken out until the feeder
desires to open his silo and this may
be after it has stood for several years.
"Slage is strong in carbohydrates,
the principal food requirements for all
animals but needs protein to balance
it. Alfalfa hay is perhaps the cheap
est and best for this purpose. Thru
out the alfalfa belt it should form a
part of the ration where silage is used.
This is not necessary, but simply
makes it possible for the feeder to
gain a greater economy in his oper-
atoms and at the same time give the
xnimal a wholesome balanced rayl6h. u

THE BOYS ARE COMING HOME

And now the boys are coming home
Almost every train is bringing them
back to this community. We see them
every day on the streets with their
sweethearts, wives and mothers. We
see them in the uniform of the army
and We see them in the uniform of
the navy Our boys who have drill
ed and waited in the camps over here
and come home bearing the stings of
disappointment, that they were not
so fortunate as others. We should
be very considerate to our boys who
answered the call to the colors and
were left waiting in the cantonments.
Youth is very keen to feel the lost
adventure. AS We gather about the
boy who heard the German cannons
roar and felt the sting of gas and
shell, We are apt to forget that fig
ure that stands on the edge of the
crowd and inwardly curses the luck
that left him marking time at home.
Don't you ever forget that he, too,
was ready and that it WAS not his
fault that he had no chance to "go
over the top" along with the rest Of
our brave boys.
