WASHINGTON. DC, April 28.-
Washington people who still had 'em
on" last Monday morning took 'em off
before night in the fact of the hottest
day Of the spring season at the Capt.
tai. The thermometer, according to
official United States weather bureau
figures, showed a maximum tempera
ture of 80, making this city the warm
est spot in the country with the ex-
ceptions of Tampa, Fla, and San An
tonic, Tex, where thermometers
equaled the Washington instrument In
climbing ability.
1t is fair to say that people from
the desert-from the Nevada desert, at
lea3t-were astonished. and perhaps
alarmed. when they stepped from
their nice cool Office buildings in the
afternoon and felt the blast of hot,
sticky. outside air. 1t felt like Yuma

I'll never see the Fourth of July. Who
ever taught mo the desert is hot

somewhat when he looked at the
weather bureau kiosk is Pennsylvania
avenue and found that the thermome-
ter therein registered 102. The
weather bureau said that figure is
thirty degrees above normal. Nevada

of Reno, who has been in Washington
for the past year and half on legal
work for the Trent Process Company,
today left with Senator Oddie de-
scriptions of three sites which the
State offers to donate to the Govern
ment for hospital purposes. All Ne
vada representatives are working to
accomplish the desire of the State In
this matter. Probabilities now appear
to be that the entire matter of allo-
cation of rehabilitation hospitals will
be postponed six months. Bulkeley

this q season of beautiful and digni-
fed wraps. Long .hawl collars and
loose sleeves, or no sleeves, have
look of spring and touches of color in
stitching or color in hemmings, en-
phasize this springtime flavor.
Two good examples of current styles,
in wraps that are practical as well
as handsome, are shown above.
They are both developed in wool
cloths; that at the left, In dark
blue with beige lining in crepe ana
beige braid for trimming. A warm
tan or taupe gray, or any OF the
fashionable colors might be chosen
for the model at the right, embroidered
in self color or in contrasting colors.
The cape pure and simple and the
cape complex must not be overlooked
in reporting wraps for summer time.
They hang usually from deep Jokes
and with considerable fare. A very
handsome one in which light and
dark gray homespun join forces has a
deep yoke of the lighter gray, long
shawl collar of the dark gray and the
body of the wrap cut in long petals OF
the light shade bordered with the
darker.

usually playing the role Of founda-
ton for an organdie overdress. But
occasionally a designer uses gingham
as q decoration on organdie, as when
checked patterns intrigue her to. cut
out battlement borders or pointed
borders of them, or to make landings.
In the pretty frock at the right Of the
picture gingham provides both the
underskirt and bands for decorating
bodice and apron Of organdie. White
organdie in this model appears with
red and white Bingham, but usually
a colored organdie is used with ging-
ham In a color and white, and Is
selected to match or tone in well with
the color. In nearly all these combina-
lions organdie is used for sash but
there are exceptions to these rules.
as may be seen in the frock illustrated.
These are informal and pretty dresses
within the reach Of everyone and
there is nothing that the season has
to offer. more alluring or becoming.

A 9OO-pound cow ordinarily con-
sumes 80 pounds Of silage a day, and
a 1,2OO-pound one about 40 pounds.
Yeaflings eat about one-half as much
as mature animals; fattening cattle,
25 to IS pounds for each 1000 pounds
live weight.
It happens, sometimes, that a silo
is not wholly filled, because there Ii
not enough corn planted for silage,
and there are not enough Of other
crops make up the deficiency. The
amount of silage that may be OBJ
tanned from an acre of corn varies
from 4 to 20 tons. A fair allowance
on average land is 8 tons per acre.
Hence for a Cotton silo it might be
we'll to plant or 10 acres of corn.
1t is by all means best to lay out
land enough in silage crops to fill the
silo to the very top; and If there ID
nny doubt about how much will be
needed, to allow a margin Of safety,
remembering that the season may cut
down the yield Of this as we'll as OF
other crops. On the other hand, II
there is too much corn or sorghum
to 90 into the silo. the excess can be
cut as dry fodder, and other crops
can be made into hay.
Two bulletins issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture are useful In this
connection; one is Farmers Bulletin
S5s. Homemade Silos; and the. other
is Farmers Bulletin 57a, The Making
and Feeding Of Silage.

Hi TIE NY
TO GROW SUFFICIENT SILAGE
Experts Assert It Is Better to Care
fully Figure on Silo to Fit
Herd Of Cows.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The planting season is the time
when the dairy farmer should arrange
to see that he has crops enough to fill
his slo. AS case in point, Missis-
sippi farmer failed to take this matter
into consideration when he bought a
silo Of 60 tons capacity, for he found
that he had corn and sorghum for
only 20 tons of silage; and since, more
over, he had only cows, he decided
he had made.a mistake, and tried to
sell his new silo instead of setting it
up. A field man from the dairy divi-
sion of the United States Department
of Agriculture however, persuaded
him to keep it until the next year, and
to put up a small stave silO for imme-
date use. He did So and found 1t
such help in feeding his cows cheap
ly that he bought more land and re-
solved to enlarge his herd to so cows.
and thus make good use of his larger
silO.
Both the height and the diameter
Of the siIo must be considered. The
proper diameter of the silo depends
upon the quantity of silage to be fed
daily; and this quantity will vary
with the size of the herd. The silage
should be fed out fast enough to re-
move it from the top of the silo at the
rate of IL to inches day, depend
ing upon climatic conditions. The
warmer the weather the more silage
must be removed from the surface
daily in order to prevent spelling. For
the winter feeding season it is safer
to figure upon removing inches daily
than any smaller amount.
A common error in building Is to
make the diameter too large for the
size of the herd. The weight of
cubic foot of silage varies according
to the pressure to which it is SUBJ
jected, but in a silo 30 feet high the
weight per cubic foot averages about
40 pounds. So by knowing the guam
tity of silage to be fed daily, it is pos
sible to estimate what the diameter
of the silo should be to permit the
removal of a certain number OF inches
each day. The table below shows the
proper diameter Of the silo, on basis
of 40 pounds Of silage per cubic foot.
