First Methodist

Rev. r. L. Wright delivered a
searching sermon to his auditors in
the lecture room of First Metho-
dist Episcopal church and while
the meeting resulted in but one
conversion it was exceedingly ben
efcial to all others present. Owing
IA the inclemency of the evening
most of the congregation were
church members and the attend
ance was good.
Trinity Methodist
Rev. Mr.. Rudasill, of Covington.
Va, again addressed his remarks
to church members and is stimulat-
ing them to renewed activity. No
invitation has been extended and
this will come when those in
charge of the meetings deem it
best. Mr.. Rudasilrs talk last night
on prayer was an earnest heart-to-
heart talk. The singing is inspiring
and there is every reason TO believe
Trinity's share in the campaign
will be successful.

Silsxe IS Horse Feed.

|. Many questions have com to the
Iowa State college regarding the use
Of silage as horse feed.~ especially
where the supply Of hay is limited.
One question most frequently asked
Is with reference to silage mold
poisoning;
According to =. S. Shearer Of the
animal husbandry department, silage
is a good feed for horses that are not
working if fed in limited amounts.
Working horses need more concen-
|trates and are not able to eat, enough
silage to satisfy their wants due to
the smallness of their digestive tract.
In feeding to working animals some
bright Oat straw. clover or alfalfa hay
should be supplemented.
Silage mOlds are poisonous to
horses though not injurious to other
livestock. 1t Is therefore, imperative
that NIL moldy silage Ike removed he
fore q ration il fed horses.

Rack to Glover.

1t is time to get the land back into
clover, says the United States depart
ment Of Agriculture.
During the war the department Of ag-
riculture impressed OH the farmers the
worlds need for cereals, and the acre
age in wheat and corn was materially
increased. This naturally resulted In
a decrease in the acreage. in clover.
Judging from the figures gathered by
the bureau Of crop estimates, covering
the production Of pure clover hay, the
acreage in this crop decreased in 1918
below that Of 1919 about 20 per cent in
the main portion Of the clover belt.
When it is considered that between
the census years 1899 and 1909 the
acreage had already decreased some 40
per cent in this AREA. the decline in
clover culture seems to have gone SO
far as to threaten to be serious.

Importance Of Farm Woodlot.

About half tile fuel used on farms IL:
genetal Is furnished directly by the
farm in the form Of wood. The aver
age farm family uses annually between
8 and 10 cords of wood for fuel, in ad-
to which about 3 tons Of coal
lis bought. The wood, furnished almost
altogether by the farm, represents a
very considerable item. The farm
woodlot should not be overlooked by
the farmer in planning for the econ
omical utilization Of the resources OF
his farm, says the United States de-

Prune Grapes Before Frost.

by pruning grapes before the frost
leaves the ground you can save the
vines losing sap and have them III
better shape
This is the advice Of C. W. Holsing-
'er, associate professor in the hOrticul-
Ntural division Of Iowa State college
Grapes stand a more vigorous cut
ting back than any fruit we prune,"
says Mr.. Holsinger, land, most grow
ers do not cut off enough wood. BE
careful to leave from 30 to 50 buds on
the past seasons growth Of wood, be-
cause it is from this wood that the
fruit comes. If all the last seasons
wood is cut OF there will Ike no fruit"
