One Missionary to Eskimos Made Use
of ,SeaIskins and Another En-
pIoyed Only Snow. .

One of the queerest. churches ever
known was built by missionary on
Blacklead island, in Cumberland
sound. Finding that the ESlImOs had
no place in which they could meet
for religious services, the missionary
started to build a church of the skins
of seals, no wood being available. The
skins were sewn together and stretch
ed over "girders" of whalebone, empty
provision tins serving as seats.
The cold at one time became so
severe that for many days the Eski-
mos of Blacklead island were unable
to procure food for themselves or for
their animals. One night dogs made
their way to the strange church edi-
flee and began consuming it, with the
result that when morning came there
was not a skin left, the whalebone
ribs alone remaining TO show that
there had ever been a church.
Another missionary in charge of the
spiritual welfare of the Eskimo tribe,
built his church entirely of snow.
Seat, pulpit, altar and, interior equip
ment was made of snow, and in the
matter of warmth no stone-built
church could beat it.

COLTS REQUIRE MUCH GRAIN
Large Quantities of silage They
Develop Slowly.

At the University of Missouri,
colts have grown from 500 pounds
in weight on September Is to S97
pounds on April q, on a daily ration
Of $40 pounds Of one-half shelled corn
and one-half oats and rs pounds Of
hay. Colts can consume small guam
titles of silage, but if they are
forced to eat large quantities of silage
they cannot be expected to grow as
much as they would If fed more lib
orally on grain.
Bran, when available, and small
quantity of oilmeal may be fed to
advantage to colts. Exercise, fresh wa
ter and good quarters must be fur
nlshed if best results are to be expect
ed but it should be borne in mind
that the colt which arrives at its year
ling form stunted and thin will be
handicapped for the next two or three
years Of its life and may, perhaps,
never fully recover.

STEERS STARTED ON SILAGE
Material Is Bulky Enough TO Eliminate
Danger From Overlooking and Is
Much Relished.

Silage has largely solved the prob
lem Of starting steers on feed. 1t IS
bulky enough to eliminate danger from
overeating and unless cattle are ac-
customed to it they rarely eat greedily
Of it at the start, according to George
w. Godfrey of Iowa State college.
Western range cattle that never saw
corn take to silage as quickly as those
of our native cattle that are not ac-
customed to it. When fed fodder these
western cattle at first pick off the
leaves and husks, leaving the stalks
and ears. With silage they get ac-
Quainted with the corn taste at the
start.
When grain is added to the ration, If
spread over the silage, II is more even
ly shared by the steers. Even when
cattle are going at once onto heavy
grain feed a start with silage is best,
as it allows a more rapid increase In
the grain ration without danger.
A short preliminary feed of silage
also puts them in good condition to
make the best use Of the grain ration
later. Slage has place in every
feed lot that nothing else can quite
fill.
