New York, March 26.-There is no
chance for WORLDS championship
bout in 1920 between Jack Dempsey
and Georges Carpenter, according to
Tex Richard, one of the foremost bid

champion probably will not extend his

This is sufficient to prevent his ap-

That the work of the first county

rapid spread in counties bordering on

Cuts Their HAY Bill S5.625.

To save $5625 worth of hay for the
members of his cow-testing associa-
ton is the record Of Carl D. Smith,
tester for the Unity Contrasting asso-
citation. The association members are
milking about 500 COWS. When the
tester arrived and began his work
nearly all the farmers were feeding
40 pounds of silage and from 20 to 80
pounds of hay daily. "The farmers
were urged by Mr.. Smith to reduce
the amount of hay fed to from 10 to
II pounds daily and to feed it each
morning and night instead of five or
six times a day." says A. J. Cramer
in charge of the contrasting associa-
ton work at the Wisconsin College Of
Agriculture. "By saving five pounds
of $25-a-ton hay day for each COW
during the $50 days of winter his as
ISOLATION saved about $685."

Believes in Wisconsin Hemp.

Confidence in the future Of hemp as
a Wisconsin crop is expressed in the
rebuilding Of one of the pioneer mills
of the state, which was burned last
year. This mill, situated between
Brandon and Waupun, is in the Wis
consin hemp district, prosperous
section with soils admirably adapted
to hemp, according to A II. Wright
of the College of Agriculture, who is
cooperating with the hemp mill men.
A 80 per cent increase of hemp acre
age is reported this year, which makes
total of $500 acres. Dry weather
has affected this years crop, however,
so that 1t is perhaps 70 per cent of
normal. The gross value of the Wis
consin hemp crop Is reckoned at ST.
100000.

Movable Hoo House Is Best.

That the movable hog house is one
of the essentials for the clean, healthy
litter of pigs, is the opinion of Gus
Bohstedt of the animal husbandry de-
partment of the University of WiscOn-
sin. It's worth has been demonstrated
on thousands of farms where hogs are
grown. Not only does the movable
house provide the necessary sanitation
for young pigs, but it provides a clean,
grassy spot in field where the SOW
and the little fellows can enjoy the
splendid pasture and still be near
their home. The movable house is rec
commended for almost any time during
the development of the pig. 1t makes
it easier to rotate the hog pastures 30
as to avoid parasites and disease.

1t is believed that the first silO in
actual service in Wisconsin was on
the Gilbert farm near Fort Atkinson.
1t was built in 1877 and consisted Of
a pit 80 feet long by II feet wide and
6 feet deep with sides a little Stop
ing. It was filled in August with al
ternate layers Of uncut rye straw and
green corn fodder. The silO was filled,
the fodder piled six feet above the
ground and then covered with three
feet of earth SO that it finally settled
to about the level>of the ground. The
silo was opened in February, 1878, and
the silage was found to be in a fine
state of preservation.
What is considered to be the first
structural silO in this state was on
the country estate of DR.. L. w. Weeks
near OcOnomOwOc This silo was said
to be Of stone and was built square.
In the summer Of 1881 the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin built a small, square
stone silo In August W. A. Henry
sent out 500 postal cards bearing this
note:
university Experiment Farm, Madi-
son, Wis, Aug. 25, 1881.
"Dear Sir:
"The work of filling our new silo
begins today and will probably be COM
pleted by the end Of the month. If you
are interested in this experiment it
will be real pleasure to have you
visit the farm and see what we are
doing w. A. HENRY,
professor of Agriculture, University
of Wisconsin,"
At this time Dean Henry was of the
opinion that there were only about
sixty SilOs in the whole United States.
The first known experiment with
silage as a ration for beef steers was
made at the University of Wisconsin
during the winter of 1881 under Dean
Henry.
Prof. F. III. King of the Wisconsin
experiment station staff solved the
mystery Of spoiled silage, and intro
duced the round silo for permanent
use.
