REASONS FOR sILO

A. c. Baer, head of the dairy de-
partment at Oklahoma A. and NJ.
college, gives as reasons for a silo
on dairy farm:
1. More feed can be stored in
given space in form of silage than
in form of fodder or hay
2. A smaller loss of food material
when crop is put into silage.
3. Corn silage is better feed than
corn fodder.
A. An acre of corn or kafir can be
placed into a silo at less cost than
the same area when husked and
SHREDDED.
s. Crops can be put in the silo
during weather which could not be
utilized for curing fodder or hay.
g. More stock can be kept on a
given area of land when sllage is
The basis of the ration.
T. Less waste in feeding silage
than fodder.
8. Silage is very palatable.
9. Silage, like other succulent
feeds has beneficial effect upon the
digestive organs.
10. Silage is the cheapest and best
form in which succulent feed can
be provided in the winter.
IL. Silage can be used for supple
mentary pasture more cheaply than
can soiling crops, because it requires
less labor and cattle like silage bet
ter.
12. Converting corn or kafir crops
into silage clears the land and leaves
Il ready for another crop.

SHEEP ARE MOVING
TOWARD THE HILLS

Blankets of moving white can be
seen dotting the desert, and small
clouds of dust tell the story of the
numberless bands of sheep starting
on their spring pilgrimage to the
hills.
The recent rains have started the
grass, and though but scant, yet it
heralds the approach of spring and
herders and flocks alike hear the call
of the springs and green hill sides
of the upper country.
The winter as whole has not
been a hard one, lambing has been up
to the standard, prices are moving
upward, and the sheep men are re-
placing the worried looks on the
faces, caused by the trying years of
recent memory, with smiles of hope
and satisfaction.
Mountain Home is the center of
Idaho's great sheep industry, and
when all is we'll with the bands of
woody pilgrims, every one looks for
ward to a successful season.
The sheep mans payroll has in
creased some this spring, but not out
of proportion with the price of wool
and lambs.
If the present satisfactory condi-
tions continue throughout the season
the sheep men will be able to reduce
their indebtedness and increase their

BRING DAIRYMEN TO TETON

An organized campaign to secure
dairymen from the middle west t.

C. B. Walker of the First National
Bank at briggs, the county seat
has gone to Wisconsin to try to in
terest dairymen in that state in the
future of Idaho. He hopes to secure
a colony from Wisconsin to locate
in Tetonn county and engage in
dairying for the double purpose of
increasing the number of dairymen
in that county and showing those
now there who wish to engage in
that industry the best methods of
dairying.
Mr.. Walkers plan is to induce men
with dairy experience to come to Te-
ton county and buy or rent land
there and engage in that industry.
He hopes to have a number of the
large farms in which the bank is
interested divided into several small
Ter farms and have family on each
of these. The Oregon Short Line
and Union Pacific. system will assist
Mr.. Walker in every way possible,
and may send a representative to
meet him in Wisconsin and assist
him in interesting prospective set
tiers in the movement to bring
number of them to Teton county.

riIlce mat highly desirable quality.
Then too. the front wheels miis,
never. under any circumstances. Iock
For you nus always have "steerare

locked you lose that. Now, inasmuch
as no brake has ever been devised
that n powerful driver cannot lock IL
ne applied sufficient power and exerts
1t quickly enough, our brakes are so
designed that the pressure is greater
on the rear wheels than on the front,
even when going straight forward.
and when turning. the front wheels
gradually re'ease until, at the angle
of full turn" they are quite free.
"This enables the driver to use his
steering wheel as well as his brakes
in cases of extreme emergency. for
he can not only stop in less than
half h distance. but he can also
avoid an obstacle or n collision by
turning at the same time.
The effect of 4-wheel brakes is to
stop the car in hat the distance with
the same exertion hat is required to
stop one with only two brakes.
'of course there is no law COMPEL
ing one to stop suddenly. II is not
always desirable to do SO. although
when the strain is distributed over
-four tres instead of two, there is no
more strain on the rubber when
stopping in half the distance n half
the time.
Perhaps the greatest pleasure de
rived from 4-wheel brakes is in the
fact that, with less than half the eN

feeling of tranquility that comes from
the knowledge that. at any reasonab c

its own length.
'As l have previously lntimated, be
cause of the fact that the stresses are
distributed over twice as many parts

that meet the varying demands for

Furthermore. few people realize
how tremendous the rubber industr,
has grown. and how ~far-reaching have
been its developments in the last quar-
ter century. A little over twenty
years ago. according to recent stat
istics issued by the b. F. Goodrich
Rubber company, rubber produc,
manufacturers represented one of the
lesser industries with n total aggre-
gate volume of n little better than 40
million dollars in business annually.
Now, however, the industry ranks
with steel and its annual business
volume approaches the astonishing
figure of two billion dollars.
When you drive your automobile on
a long trip. you perhaps give little
attention to the part rubber is pay
ing in making your trip interesting
and comfortable. If a tire blows out
and you are miles from the nearest
service station you begin to realize
then just how important a commodity
rubber really is.
The automobile tire part of the
rubber industry is now a giant. AT
least f%orty-eight million of those tires
will be required during 1923 to keep
