Silage properly fed is considered an
excellent feed for breeding ewes dur
ing the winter. 1t is an economical
feed and its use usually lowers winter
feed bills. 1t is also healthful feed,
serving to keep the appetite keen and
to keep the muscles flexible, and ewes
fed on silage have less trouble in lamb
ing than those fed on dry roughage.
A reasonable amount of succulent feed
before lambing also insures larger
milk flow after lambing.
For breeding ewes before lambing,
about two pounds of silage per head
per day is a good ration. The silage
should be of good quality, we'll made,
free from mold and should supplement
good alfalfa hay. The amount of hay
fed should vary with the size of the
ewes and will usually be about two
and one-half to three pounds per eve.
Some Points Unsettled.
The effect of feeding silage to breed
ing ewes before lambing on the num-
Der of lambs dropped alive and their
conditions, is still much disputed
point. Silage will neither decrease or
increase the total number of lambs
that the ewes will drop. Due to the
fact that it is fed in racks about which
the ewes push and crowd, some flock
owners claim that when large num-
bcrs of pregnant ewes are fed at once
the crowding Injuries the ewes heavy
with lamb and that many of them
abort their lambs. Other flock own
ers who feed it regularly to their eve
bands state that such has not been
their experience. It is to be expected
that the more rack space per eve the
less trouble there will be from this
source.
Another claim made against the feed
ing of silage to pregnant ewes is that
the lambs will be soft, flabby. ant
weak when born. Men who feed i
right along also deny this.
These matters have been the sub
jcct of experiments at various expert
ment stations and the results hav'
varied as much as the opinions give'
above. In considering these conflict
ing statements it might be said tha
many times the objections arc advane
ed by men who never have fed silag
to pregnant ewes, but that the denial
. come from men who do. One OF tn
largest flock owners in Idaho feed
silage to his pregnant ewes and state
that he never has any difficulty alon
the lines mentioned,
However, for the man who want
TO feed silage to his eve band bu
never. has done so before, it might b
well TO cut off the silage about
month before lambing begins. thus el
minating the feeding in racks at tn
time when the ewes are heaviest wit
lamb.

 the Rialto

Tom Mix, daredevil of the screen, in
 his latest picture, "The Texan" will be
 the attraction at the Rialto theatre this
 week, beginning Monday. This is Mix's S latest picture and has never before been seer in Birmingham. In this production Mix is said to perform some of the most
 thrilling stunts of his career and great

 the mountains-a red-biooded, romantic
 story of the great open spaces; of men who do things and of women who are der, impassioned, but restrained" Such
 is the producers appraisal of The Texan"
 The strongest story in which Tom Mix has appeared-that is how some critics have described The Texan" 1 It is a picture rich in romance, sensa- tonal in incident, beautifully staged and abounding in the daring feats for which this star is noted. Absolutely clean and , wholesome throughout, it appeals with , the greatest possible force to the great outdoors.
 Do you like snap, pep, punch, thrills stunts, romance, comedy and the sugges- tion of a tear? Of course, you do. Then don't miss The Texan" It is great story, written by James B. Hendryx, and it's a great photoplay as presented by Fox and acted by Mix.
 No star in motion pictures possesses greater magnetism and no Tom Mix picture has possessed greoter drawing power than "T'hs Texan" The. charm ing Gloria Hope is Mix IS leading woman.

Playwrights and Playwriting

Brander Matthews, in the North Ameri-
 can Review
 The younger Dumas once imagined his father replying to those who had asked him if he would not be satisfied if he had achieved the commendation of the best judges only; NO, the appreciation of these judges would not amply indemnify me for the coldness of the others, be- cause the drama, which appeals to the many, cannot be satisfied with the ap- proval of the few" In putting this opinion into the mouth of the elder Du- mas. his son was but expressing the be- lief of every successful playwright who has been moved to discuss the art of the drama and it may be well to recall the fact that in their own day all the great dramatists were only successful play wrights, their popularity being beyond questions even if their greatness was still in doubt.
 There are other beliefs of the success full playwrights One of them is that the playwright, like the poet is born anu not made. The younger Dumas declared that man may become painter, q sculptor, even a musician, by study-hut not playwright |. It is a freak ot nature which has constructed the vision as to enable him to zee things in a cer- t.n way" He added that this very rare faculty is revealed in the first attempt at play-writing, however unampitious this juvenile effort may be. Goethe hal said almost the same thing, asserting that writing for the stage is something peculiar. It is craft which one must understand and 1t requires taiant which one must possess" In other words, the playwright, like the poet again, must be born, and he must be T. le also. after he Is born, since he needs to master the technic of the trade

MOUNT POPOIS CLAIMED T0BE
 IN ERUPTION

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 10 (by Associ- ated Press) The question which has been violently agitated in the newspa- pers recently, whether Mt. Popocate- petl is smoking apparently has been settled in the affirmative by various persons who within the past few days have ascended this famous volcanic mountain.
 Ell Universal several days ago an- nounced that "Popo", which is the nickname the Mexicans have given to the mountain was in state of erup- tion and was emitting much smoke and steam. Other papers denied the story, asserting that Universars re- porter had merely seen cloud hang ing over the mountain.
 The argument was not settled until four Americans from Mexico City spent four hazardous days climbing the mountain, the trip being so ardu- ous that one, an itinerant photograph CT from Milwaukee, died later from exposure.
 According to Henry E. Juergens, "Popo" is in state of mild erup- tion, emitting steam and smoke at in- tervals but no lava. It's crater is about 800 feet in diameter and 1000 feet deep and descent into the crat- CT may be made for several hundred feet There is a continual rumbling and grooming inside the mountain with occasional heavings during which huge boulders at the bottom of the crater are lifted several hun dred feet.
 The ascent of the mountain is made by way of Amencameca, a small vil- lage at it's base. Mules carry the climbers to timber line over a thin trail and from there it is an exhaust ing struggle through knee-deep snow coated with a deceptive covering of sand. The four Americans made the ascent from timber line in six hours.

F. M. O'Neil of Seldovia is one of the best boosters that town has, and

McCullagh of Seldovia in charge of the new school. More than fifteen children attend the classes. Two years ago there was not child in the Homer district but during the past year large number of people with families have taken LID homesteads on the Spit Work will undoubtedly commence on the road from Seldovia to Tuttska bay early in the spring. The completion of this road will establish wagon and au- tomobile service between the two towns. Mrs. McCullagh is universal ly liked by every person in the Sel- dovia district, and is particularly fit ted to teach the younger generation of Alaska. Seldovia has been slat- ed for a wireless station, which will be established in the near future.

CAMP DIX, N. J., Dec. g (by Asso- ciated Press) Thirty teachers are in charge of the Camp Dix school where the illiterate and aliens are getting the fundamentals of citizenship of soldiers.
 Tall Short See this man is tall; this man is short. I write the words on the blackboard. Tall that is for this man. Short-that is for this one"
 Suiting the action to the word, the teacher points first to a six-footer standing beside him, then writes the word "tall"; then points to chunky youth, measuring four feet, six, and writes the word short"
 The class shuffles it's feet, squirms in it's chairs and laboriously pencils the queer looking words in note books. And when this class shuffles it's feet it means more than the ordi- nary shuffling in the ordinary school room, for this is one of the rooms of the recruit educational center, and the students range from the sturdy lads of Europe to the -boned hus- kies of the western part of the Unit ed States. In age they run f1,om eigh- tion from zero to the heights But those with good education acquired that education in another language and have no English at their com mand, and those who know English have no education.
