DAIRY CATTLE NEED SILAGE
suoeuIenoe II Supplies Is Very Neees'
saFy for Large MIX Production
Cheapest Of Feeds.

Silage is the best and cheapest form
in which to store succulenf feed.
Many forage crops can be made into
silage, but corn, where it can be
grown successfully, makes the best
silage.
Good sllage depends upon cutting
the crop at the right stage, ine cut
ting, even distribution, thorough
packing and plenty of moisture in the
cut material When rightly put up
and carefully fed, there should be
little If any loss through spelling.
Silage is well suited for feeding to
all live stock. Dairy cows need it
perhaps more than other classes Of
animals, because the sucrulence ii
supplies is very necessary for large
milk production. II is a cheap and
economical feed for beef cattle, from
breeding COW to fattening steer. Sheep
like it, and 1t is well suited to their
needs. Even horses and mules may
be fed limited quantities Of good
silage with excellent results.

WATER IS PRIME REQUISITE
Labor Of Watering Stock Can BE Prac.
tieally Eliminated BY Installing
Automatic Bowls.


Many dairy farmers are still depend
ing on their hired help to lead the
cows to the watering trough for water
during the times they are confined to
their stalls, depending on the work
man to remember when a cow may
need water and requiring much of the
mans valuable time in watering the
stock.
The labor of watering the stock can
be practically eliminated and at the
same time the milk production Of the
COW increased by installing sanitary
automatic watering bowls.
Most dairy farmers realize the inn
pOrtance Of an abundance of pure wa
ter for the COW, but do not realize the
cost of labor consumed in watering
the COW, nor the Importance of the
COW getting her drink just when she
wants it, says Dairy Farmer.
About 81 per cent of the milk Is
water. A COW requires gallons Of
water to produce 10 gallons Of milk,
besides the water she needs for her
body. She requires 21a pounds of wa
ter for each pound of milk produced.
Why supply high-priced feed to in
crease milk production and neglect to
give her sufficient water?

farmers in 15 states using various
makes of water bowls, which will al

Labor in Alarm Over Action Ia
ken by This GOuntry's Steel
Industries.
IS DISTINCT BACKWARD STEP
IN the Face Of Prevailing unemploy'
ment, the Twelveshour Day Can
Only BE Looked on as Capt.
talistie Arrogance.
ARTHUR N. EVANS.


To the hard-bOiled observer here's q
thing that appears rather queer: In
the face of large volume of unem-
ployment, some American industries OF
size are lengthening the hours Of work
or are sticking to the twO-shift system,
a stOne-age remnant, while in some
other large Industrial countries the
trend is toward shortening OF hours.
In steel, for instance, some OF the
independents in this country are re-
opening on two-shift basis where
they formerly had three shifts-the
working day thus is stretched from
eight hours to twelve hours. The Steel
corporation itself is still adhering to
the two-shift system, although the
present unemployment gives 1t the
best opportunity it has ever had to
break away from the twelve and four
teen-hour day and install the eight
hour day, which is the vogue in steel
in nearly every other large producing
country.
All in all, it is a disturbing trend as
viewed by labor, which sees in it a
resurge from the eight-hOur-day move
ment. Conservative labor leaders say
it demonstrates a desire by some large
employers to keep the supply of labor
in relation to jobs as high as possible.
They link it up with the fight made
against restriction of immigration, and
the estimates from some employing
groups that the United States is short
between four and five million workers
as a result of suspended immigration
during the war.

OBTAIN PROFIT IN DAIRYING
Feed Prices Have sIumped While
Price Of Butter Still Remains at
High Figure in Cities.

Feed prices down so per cent or
more and butterfat prices still high
should mean that men who are now
milking cows or who get into the dairy
business viii make money Corn and
alfalfa have made decided drops In
price, while butter is still retailing
around 60 cents pound in these
cities. Hence the best way to mar
ket these two feeds would appear to
be through stock. especially milk cows.
A few good milk cows, with feed as
cheap as 1t now is, assures an income
and should mean a good profit.
