MILLET HAY FED TO HORSES

Several years ago the North Da.
kota experiment station found that
millet hay when fed in excessive guam
titles had a tendency to cause an
increased action of the kidneys as
well as lameness and a swelling of
the joints. This seemed to be due to
an infusion of the blood into the
joints, which destroyed the texture OF
the bone. When fed in limited
amounts and In connection with grain
there was no such tendency, but OF
the other hand it proved a very good
food.

TIRE TREAD DESIGN
Is VERY IMPORTANT
Has Much to Do With Ease of
Steering a Car.
Especially So on Large Machines
Where Contact With Road Surface
Is Broad-Two Styles Of Tires
Complexities Matters.

The tread design of an automobile
tire may be a matter Of small conse-
quence to the driver Of a small car,
but every driver Of heavy car knows
that the tread confguration has
good deal to do with the ease with
which the car may be steered.
On the smaller cars the area Of the
tread that is in contact with the road
surface Is so small that an improper
design may cause little trouble. But
when heavy car settles down on its
tires, the driver finds himself called
on for the exercise Of constant atten-
ton and effort to keep the car from
swerving off the road, If the tread de-
sign is improper type.
One point on which all motorists agree
is that the tires on the rear wheels
should be Of a good non-skid pattern
and that the front tires should have a
tread design that will keep them run
ming ahead in a straight line with a
minimum Of steering effort on the part
of the driver.
The ideal tire tread is one that can
be used with equally good results on
any wheel, either front or back. Given
such a tire a motorist need carry
only one spare, and his car is always
evenly balanced, no matter what tire
changes he makes. But If one style
tread is used on the front wheels and
another on the rear the motorist will
usually carry two spares, one Of each
type. Having two types furnishes a
further complication when it is de-
sired to shift partly-worn tires from
the Woodworking rear wheels to the
front wheels, in order to get a few
thousand miles more wear out Of them
before they go to the scrap heap. The
non-skids used on the rear may not
be suited for front wheel purposes.

basis as Cleveland's in 1884 and Will
sons in 1916. But in 1875 the Repub-
licians had not yet acquiesced in the
suppression of the negro vote in the
South. And If the negroes had not
been persuaded" by various means
from going to the polls, Tllden could
not have been elected.
Both the Republicans and the Dem
ocrats claimed to have carried Louisi-
ana, South Carolina and Florida, and
from those states two sets of returns
were sent to Washington. Who should
decide between them? The Constitu-
ton provides merely that the president
of the senate shall, in the presence of
the senate and house, open the certi-
f1cates, "and the votes shall then be
counted"
But when there are two sets Of
votes, who shall say which shall be
counted? 1.-THE president Of the SEN
ate" answered the Republicans be-
cause the president of the senate was
a Republican. "The two houses" said
the Democrats, because one of the
houses was Democratic.
Compromise was necessary to save
the government from chaos and the
country from another Civil war. The
bitter dispute was left TO 10 men, one
third of whom we're senators and an
other third were representatives,
equally divided between the parties.
To guarantee a calm, judicial decision
the remaining third were justices Of
the Supreme court.
Nevertheless, the commission pro-
ceeded to decide every essential ques-
ton in favor of Hayes by strict party
vote OF to Z. Alas, the partisan
zeal of that feverish hour burned just
as f1ercely beneath the gowns Of the
justices as under the frock coats Of
the legislators.
The judgment of the commission
was without force in law until adopted
by the two opposing houses, and some
disappointed Democrats in the house
baked at ratifying the decision against
Tilden. But representatives Of Hayes
Whispered TO certain southern Demo
Gratis in a secret conference at Worm
ley's hotel that If they would let the
Republicans have the presidency, the
Republican president would let them
have their own state governments. The
bargain having been struck, IL was
kept. After turbulent night session
of the house the result of the election
was declared at four o'clock in the
morning of March 2, 1877, just SO hours
before the Inauguration.
For three months Hayes himself had
been alternating from day to day be-
tween expectation Of success and de-
feat. Even when he started for Wash

GLAZED STAGE BEST SILAGE
When Corn Kernels Are Well Denied
II Is Ready for SiIo, Is Opinion
Of Specialists.

The question, when is the best time
to cut corn for silage?" is again being
frequently asked. The weight of ex-
perience of experiment station men at
University Farm is that corn is ready
for the silo when the kernels are well
denied or glazed. Analyses made by
chemists have shown that the corn
from an average acre cut at the glazing
period contains 1908 pounds of d.
gestible matter as against 1920 pounds
when the corn is cut at tasseling time.
While there is a larger amount Of
green corn to the acre when the corn
is in the tasseling stage, the total
amount OF dry matter is not nearly so
great then as when the corn has
glazed. The dry matter per ton
amounts to 2S5 pounds at the tasseling
stage, 1923 at the silking stage, $50 in
the early milk, IA in the late milk,
and 523 pounds at the glazing stage.
In case there is danger of frost, corn
should be cut early rather than al
lowed to wait for the maximum
pounds Of dry matter.

RED CLOVER ON DAIRY FARM
Little Excuse for Permitting Soil to

The roots of red clover penetrate the
soil to q depth of five or six feet and
bring up valuable fertilizing elements,
hence the soil that has become worn

bad condition. Or the dairy farm,

With those watchwords Hayes had
sacrificed himself and his administra-
ton to reunite North and South, to
cleanse the civil service and to regen-
crate the Republican party. So qui-
city, so coldly, so automatically did
he go about all those great objects
that he remained to the end of his
term one of the most misunderstood
most underestimate presidents, the
Republican leaders hating him as an
apostate and the Democrats despis-
ing him as a fraud.
He selected one of the most dis
tinguished cabinets in history. But
he did 1t without consulting party
leaders or considering the claims Of
factions, and the offended senate
threatened and muttered for nearly
a week before II confirmed the nomi-
nations. To the disgust of practical
politicians" he threw away" a high
class foreign mission on a man like
James Russell Lowell, "a dashed lit
erary feller," as Senator Cameron
said, and he enraged Roscoe Conk-
ling by flinging the political machine
Of the imperious senator out Of the
federal Offices In New York city. He
would also have made q start toward
the removal Of the civil service from
politics and spoils-mongering had not
both parties combined in congress to
thwart his every effort In that direc-
ton.
Hayes boldest challenge to the
Republican politicians was his aban-
donment of their 12-year struggle to
Washington. Ever since congress
had seized from Lincoln's lifeless
hand the control of reconstruction
the entire proceeding had been a
tragic failure.
Hayes came to the presidency In
the depths of an industrial prostra-
ton when wandering bands Of
tramps thronged the highways Of the
land, and soon the first great railway
strike paralyzed transportation be-
tween the Atlantic and the Missis-
sippi. In response to the popular cry
for more money" both parties in
congress were for repeating or modi.
flying the resumption act and for in
fating the currency with greenbacks
on silver coinage. The president
firmly resisted such q surrender. Had
not his veto of the silver bill been
overridden he would have saved the
country from taking the first step on
the road that led it 10 the brink Of
free silver In 1896.
All this independence cost Hayes
the support of the political time serv-
ers and the applause of the partisan
press. These united in denouncing
and ridiculing him as a renegade in
politics and as a sniveling hypocrite

Farmers in Rockbridge county, Vir-

from depreciation In value. In Calf
