SCRUB SIRE NOT ECONOMICAL
Common and Inferior Cattle Never
Bring AS Much Money on Market
as Better Grades.

The only reason that the average
person can give for using a scrub sire
in any line of live stock breeding is
that they think they are making money
by using a cheap animal. They do not
figure into the future and see that it
is the offspring Of this animal which
will either make or lose them money.
The corn breeder does not think of Sc
lecting the nqbbins with which to
plant his corn field. Neither can the
live stock man afford to select sire
which will not produce better and
more uniform class Of stuff. A glance
into the live stock market will con-
vince one that the purebred sire with
the proper individual merit will be
paying investment. When slommon
and inferior steers are selling for nine
cents, a better grade Of steers in the
same kind of flesh are usually selling
for from 10 to II cents. In addition to
this, the better cattle usually will put
on gains more economically.

area of Mount Rainier National Park. In shape
it is not simple cone tapering to slender, point
ed summit like Full (Fujiyama). the great vol
of Japan. 1t is rather broadly truncated
mass resembling enormous tree stump with
spreading base and irregularly broken top.
It's life history has been varied one Like all
volcanoes, Rainier has built up its cone with the
materials elected by its own eruptions-with cin-
ders and steam-shredded particles and Jumps of
lava and with occasional flows of liquid lava that
have solidifed into layers of hard, basatic rock
At time it attained an altitude of not less
than 10000 feet, If one may judge by the steep
inclination of the lava and cinder layers visible
in it's TANKS Then a great explosion followed
that destroyed the top part of the mountain and
reduced its height by some 1000 feet.
Indian legends tell Of a great eruption. There
have been slight eruptions within memory-ol,e in
1913. one in 1854, and in 1858 and the last
in 1870. Even now it is only dormant. Jets of
steam melt fantastic holes in the snow and ice
at its summit and there are hot springs at it's
foot But it is entirely safe to visit Mount Raj
ner as further eruptions are unlikely.
Later on this great cavity, which measured
nearly three miles across from south to north was
filled by two small cinder cones. Successive feeble
eruptons added to their height until at last they
formed together low rounded dome-the emf
nence that now constitutes the mountains summit
The higher portions Of the old crater rim rise to
elevations within few hundred feet of the sum-
nit and, especially when viewed from below, stand
out boldly as separate peaks that mask and seem
to overshadow the central dome Especially prom
inent Point Success (1415O feet) on the south
west side and Liberty Cap (14,112 feet) on the
northwest side.
The altitude Of the main summit has for many
years been in doubt, Several figures have been
announced from time to time no two of them in
agreement; but all Of these it is to be observed
were obtained by more or less approximate meth
DDS. In 1913 the United States, geological survey
in connection with its topographic surveys of the
Mount Rainier National Park made new series
of measurements by tranguation methods at close
range. These give the peak elevation of IA, 408
feet thus placing it the top of the list of
high SUBMITS of the United States. This last fig
ure it should be added is not likely to be in error
by more than foot or two and may with some
confidence be regarded final Greater exact
ness of determination is scarcely practicable in
the case of Mount Rainier as it's highest summit
consists actually of mound of snow, the height
of which naturally varies.

FOOD VALUE OF CORN slLAGE
Crop Is More Easily Harvested and
Put into Silo Than Rye, cowpeas
or Alfalfa.

Almost any green crop can be made
into silage successfully Much care,
however. must be taken to expel the
air from such hollow-stemmed plants
as the small cereal grains by cutting
fine and packing firmly. Other crops
of which legumes are examples. are de-
ficient in the fermentable constituents
needed for palatable silage. On the
other hand, a few crops, such as the
saccharine sorghums, have so much
sugar that unless cut at a more ma
ture stage they have tendency to
produce sour silage.
In most parts of the United States
more food material can be obtained
from an acre of corn as silage than
from an acre Of any other crop that
can be grown Corn is more easily

crops like rye, clover, cowneas, or al
falfa, and when cut for silage the
maximum quantity Of nutrients is pre-
served. Experiments have shown that
corn, when sliced, lost 1876 per cent of
the dry matter against 23.8 per cent
when cut for fodder and cured in the
field. Moreover. there is less waste
in feeding silage than in feeding fod-
der, since good silage properly fed is
all consumed. When corn is cut for
silage the land is cleared and left
ready for another crop sooner than
when the corn is shocked or is husked
from the standing stalk. Corn can be

Vast Colonial Empire Gone

In 1914 Germany possessed a colo
NAL empire of million and a quarter
square miles in area. It represented
approximately four times tie area of
the German empire, and before the
war it's exports amounted to about
one hundred millions of francs, or
twenty millions Of dollars. There
