Silage From Corn the Best.

Almost any green crop cen 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
deficit in the fermentable constituents
needed for palatable silage. On the
other hand, few crops, such as the
saccharine sorghums, have so much
sugar that unless cut at more ma
ture stage that 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
harvested and put into the silo than
crops like rye, clover, cowpeas, 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
put into the silo at cost not above
that Of shocking, husking, grinding
and shredding.

His Vision of the Future.

Here is what Geo. T. Angel, one of
the greatest humanitarians of his day
and president Of the Massachusetts,
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, said many years before
his death, and his prophecy is fast
becoming reality:
"Cruelty will become unpopular, and
men guilty of it will feel that they ere
attracting public attention; they will
become more cautious how they over
drive and overwork their horses, par
ticularly those that are old, sick, and
lame, and the terrible suffering inflict-
ed by overlooking (that standing dis
grace to this country will become less
common; farmers will be ashamed to
have their cattle come out in the
spring mere skeletons; beating, starv-
ing and freezing, and thousand other
cruelties will become more rare; old,
stray, and abandoned animals will be
taken better care Of, or mercifully
killed; birds and Their nests will be pro-
tected; and not only will the laws in
relation to animals be enforced, but
public sentiment will place in almost
every home advocates to plead their
cause and to make known the cruelties
which are inflicted upon them"

at that time. The constitution was
the evolutionary work of generations
of struggle for good government. The
principles upon which it was founded
were fought for upon the fields Of bat
tie and sanctifed by the blood of mar
tyrs. We took those principles and
embodied them in a written constitu-
ton. They guarantee to you and to
me freedom of speech, opportunity,
the right to labor and to enjoy the
fruits of labor, the protection of
property, the home and the family.
They are not merely expedients of
government. They are everlasting
principles which have been settled by
the wisdom Of ages, on which our rep
resentative democracy is founded. To-
day in our midst, following great
war, there are agitators, socialists,
anarchists, men teaching the over
throw of the government, teaching
disorder, murder and anarchy.
Hold fast to the teachings of your
fathers. These constitutional princi-
pies, in time Of world stress and dis
order are better guides than the ex-
detrimental PHILOSOPHERS and the I'M
tried theories Of socialists and agita-
tors"

Constitution Dax

The 18th Of September is Constitu-
ton day. It was on September II,
1887, that the convention summoned
by the congress of the confederation
of states completed the draft of the
document, which was later submitted
to the thirteen states for ratification,
and which became the constitution of
the United States. The average
American citizen does not attach
much Importance to this date and it
was fitting that Senator Kellogg, at the
conclusion of his address on the league
of nations, should pay a brief but
eloquent tribute to the constitution of
the United States and the principles
that it embodies:
This is Constitution day. One
hundred and thirty-three years ago
today our forefathers framed and pro-
mulgated that important instrument
in Independence square, Phil.delphia.
It was not the conception Of few men

statement on this important subject:
"The intelligence and saneness of
Mr.. Harding with reference to the de-
velopment of agriculture, our great
est single industry in the west, can
scarcely fail to meet with the approval
of farm people. This thought for agri-
culture and the needs of farm people
lis uppermost in the public mind today.
al think the farm people of Mime
sofa should go even farther than to
endorse Mr.. Harding and the repubh-
can party l believe that we need in
Minnesota also state program for
agricultural betterment.
"The next Minnesota legislature
should enact such legislation as will
place agriculture in its correct rela-
ton to other industries.
"To effect such a program l would
suggest that the representative and
nonpolitical farm organizations of the
state get together on an agreed pro-
gram for action, which program the
legislature can consider"

keting facilities are of the utmost i'm

Further Decline in Potato Prices.

Throughout the week potato prices
have declined until the quotations now
range from SIPS to $14O per cwt.
as against $1.75 to $1.9O last Thurs
day. Buyers tell us that there is no
indication of an immediate advance as
the big central markets are flooded
hundreds of carloads of potatoes being
now standing on the tracks at St.
Louis, Chicago, Kansas City and other
points.
In consequence of virtually no out
side demand and the weak condition of
the market about half of the local buy
ers have temporarily closed down.
Buyers now on the market are re-
ceiving all the potatoes they can care
for. Shipments are particularly light.
Local warehousemen attribute the
slump in prices to overproduction. Be
that as it may, the government report
for September, issued by the bureau
of crop estimates, says:
"A gam OF more than 10000, 600
bushels has been made in the white
potato crop during the last month.
The total crop now is estimated at
AZ, $4,000 bushels. Last month the
forecast was for 402, $4,000 bushels.
In 1919 the white potato crop totaled
357 ,9O1 900 bushels, according to the
December estimate; 1918, al, 1850, 600
bushels; 1917, 442, 1OS, 900 bushels.
Six millions of the gain during the
month are credited to New York. The
crop in that state is now given as
38,711, 900 bushels, nearly equal to last
year, whereas month ago the New
York estimate was for 81, 10000
bushels. Michigan shows a gain from
last month and Minnesota and Wis
consin show decrease"

Isaiah Mudgett.

Isaiah Mudgett passed away at his
home, northeast Of Princeton, on
Wednesday night, September Is. He
had been ailing for many years and
toward the last was great sufferer.
In an effort to benefit his health he
had spent several winters in Cali
fornia, but all to no avail.
The funeral services were held last
Friday afternoon at the family resi-
dence, Rev. Geer conducting the cere-
mony. A trio consisting of Mrs. Ew-
ing, Mrs. Henry Glade and Mrs. Geer
rendered three hymnal selections. The
interment was at Oak Knoll, where the
burial service was conducted by the
I. 0. 0. F. lodge and the Methodist
minister. Many Odd Fellows and
Rebekahs were in attendance at the
obsequies and the floral tributes were
numerous.
Isaiah Mudgett was born in Prince
ton on May Z, 1871, and on November
IL, 1904, was married to Miss Daisy
Berry, who survives him. He is also
survived by brother, Harold, who is
a resident of Mudgett township; and
three sisters, Mrs. Marion Williams
Los Angeles; Mrs. Lucy Thoma and
Mrs. Georgia Johnson, Princeton.
Deceased was a loyal citizen, good
neighbor, true friend and devoted hus.

ing nature and many are those who
will deplore his taking away.
