SENATE
TO DROP
SECRECY
Mall0n's Refusal To Re-
veal Source Of InfOrma-
ton Wins Out.
RULE is ARCHAIC
United Press Scores No
table Victory In Forcing
Publicity.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May 81. W.H --
Abolition Of the old senate secrecy
rule, existing since the foundation of
the government, was put definitely
on the way to realization today.
The senate adopted n unanimous
consent agreement proposed by
Chairman Moses of the rules commit
tee by which his committee will re.
port proposal for modification of
the secrecy rule 20 the senate by
next Tuesday for immediate consid-
Grafton before the summer recess.
This action was taken a few min
utes after the rules committee tried
unsuccessfully to force Paul R. Nal
Ion, United Press Staff correspon-
dent, to reveal where he obtained
the roll call on the confirmation of
Customs Judge Irvine l.. Lenroot,
published last week by the United
Press.
Mallon's scoop on the Lenroot
call, together with 4 similar one
last January on the confirmation of
Former Secretary of Interior Roy o..
West, have caused n majority of
senators to recognize that the senate
eantot keep its secrets and that the
rule Of secrecy concerning action on
presidential appointments had best
be abrogated.
A poll of the senate taken last
week by the United Press and other
newspal er correspondents showed 50
10 22 favoring publicity of senate
executive roll calls.
Several proposals for bringing this
about are pending, ranging from
suggestions abolishing completely
secret sessions to milder ones pro-
viding that the senate by majority
vote may make public any secret
roll call

Conservation Of Labor in
Filling Silo Profitable

AS silo-filling time draws near,
many farmers in all parts OF the
country are preparing to follow
plan which differs greatly from silo
filling in the days Of the steam-pow-
cred rig and the large crew. 1t Is the
small crew plan now growing in pop
u!arity.
The small crew plan is essentially
labor saving. Only two men are nee
essary to fill. When the binder Is
equipped with a bundle elevator, two
loads may be cut and put on the
racks without the hard labor of pitch
ing the bundles by hand. The loads
are then drawn to the silo and run
through the cutter as it takes only
a minute to start the tractor which
furnishes the belt power, or to turn
the switch which starts an electric
motor.
Experiments at some Of our state
colleges and practical experience
have proved that tramping is not nee
essary for keeping the silage and In
many cases this job has been elm
mated. Neither is 1t necessary to
have a man at the feed table Of the
modern ensilage cutter.

Farm Notes .

Warm dry weather is important
when a good paint job is wanted.
Soy beans and cowpeas are
legumes and will benefit soil some by
raising them.
Alfalfa is a high profit crop. 1t

and milk production.
A good, clean quality of alfalfa
hay can be used quite satisfactorily
for feeding work horses.
Alfalfa used as the rOughage for
work horses sometimes has ten
dency to make them over laxative and
soft in their muscles.
The outstanding advantage of the
combined harvester-thresher is that
it saves time and labor and so con-
siderably reduces the cost of harvest
ing the crop.
Wheat that Is high in protein con.
tent is worth more than low protein

Storing Green Alfalfa
to Secure Best Results

"Brown hay" from alfalfa results
when the alfalfa is put into the NOW
Sc green and tough that it heats and
drives off the surplus water. At the
same time it is discolored. During
the process of fermentation the mois-
ture driven off will condense on the
top layer Of hay and will spoil it as
the top layer Of silage is spoiled.
The top Of such asmow may steam
for three weeks or more after the
hay Is put in. Below the spoiled top
layer, If the hay has been properly
stored, there will. be no mold. This
brown hay is very palatable to stock
and while there Is a certain amount
of loss from the fermentation, 1t Is
not serious if the hay has not been
badly discolored.
When first-cutting alfalfa is nearly
cured, but tough, and is likely to be
rained on If not taken in, 1t is far
better to take it in and make brown
hay of it, than to leave it in the field
to be damaged by rain. If put in this
way, the hay should be exceptionally
we'll stacked back into the hay NOW,
to break up the green punches some
times found. 1t should be packed
and not left loose, unless there Is
space enough to spread a thin layer
of the tough hay all over the NOV.
After fermentation starts, do not put
other hay on top of it, or disturb 1t
in any way. The use of salt on tough
hay is often recommended and should
be of value in reducing fermentation
and mold.-C. ]. Willard, Ohio State

shipping Fever" of
y Cattle Is Prevented
Protective Agent Quite Eff
cacious Against Disease

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricnlture.)
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS aggressin
is a recently discovered protective
agent against the disease known as
hemorrhagic septicemia, which is so
highly infectious among farm ami
mails, particularly cattle and sheep.
The bureau of animal industry of the
United States Department, of Agri-
culture developed this aggressin. In
a revised edition of Farmers Bulletin
1O1S-F, Hemorrhagic Septicemia,
"Shipping Fever" of Cattle, just pub
lished, Henry j. Washburn says, "Nu-
merous experimental animals were
vaccinated with this material and SUBJ
sequently were given severe artifi-
cial exposure together with some I'M
vaccinated control animals. In these
experiments all the vaccinated ami
mails remained healthy. while the un-
vaccinated ones developed fatal hemor-
rhagic-septicemia infections. This az
gressin is a germ-free, sterile prod
uct. 1t is now manufactured under
commercial conditions and is proving
to be quite as efficacious in practice
as it has proved experimentally."
The disease is known popularity as
shipping fever" OF cattle. The bull
letin describes the bacterium causing
the disease, the symptoms and
anatomical changes produced, and
gives suggestions for diagnosis and
for distinguishing the disease from
other malignant maladies. 1t also
gives directions for prevention and
for the care of animals and premises
during and after outbreaks of the dis
ease. No effective medicinal treat
ment for infected animals is known.
If the presence Of the disease is sus-
pected, the owner should call a COM
petent veterinarian, who will advise
as to protective measures and pre-
ventive treatment. 49,.

FAMILY DOCTOR
MADE MILLIONS OF
FRIENDS

Fifteen years after his graduation,
Dr. Caldwell became famous for
single prescription, which now, after
forty years, is still making friends.
Today DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
Is the worlds most popular laxative.
Millions of people never think of
using anything else when they're
constipated, headachy, bilious, feverish
or weak; when breath is bad, tongue
coated, or they're suffering from
nausea, gas, or lack of appetite or
energy.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
made today according to the original
formula, from herbs and other pure
ingredients. 1t is pleasant-tasting;
thorough in the most obstinate cases;
gently effective for women and chill
dren. Above all, it represents
doctors choice of what is safe for the
bowels.

Horses and Mules
in Better Demand
Much Practical Information
for Breeders of Light and
Work Stock. =


prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
An increased demand and good
prices for well-bred horses and mules,
especially during the next few years.
are forecast by J. o. Williams and 5.
r. Speelman, horse specialists of the
bureau of animal industry, United
States Department of Agriculture. A
report on the hOrse-breeding situation.
just made public by these government
specialists, gives the basis for their
opinions and contains much practical
information for breeders of light
horses and work stock.
Proportion of Pure BREEDS.
According to information received
from "a states having enrolment laws
for stations, jacks, or both, approx
mately 80 per cent of all stations IL
censed in 1928 were pure bred, while
COS per cent of the jacks enrolled
were in the same class. These figures
show gain over former years and
are an encouraging feature of the re-
port. There has been, however, con-
tinued annual decrease in the total
number of stations and jacks licensed
for public service in the "a states. A
reduction in the equine population OF
the country has also occurred; during
the calendar year 1928, the decline
amounted to about half million
horses and $1,000 mules. The authors
Of the report estimate that colt pro-
duction is now only half as great as
is needed to maintain our horse pop
ulation at it's present level. Among
other salient comments on the situa-
ton, are the following:
Prices of horses have risen during
the last two years, the rise being
most pronounced in the Corn Belt and
in states east of the Mississippi river.
Draft horses with size and quality
are in strong demand at good prices,
and the demand for saddle horses is
nationwide.
Saddle horses and polo mounts are
probably bringing higher prices now
than at any time in history.
: Producers of work stock, doubtful
of a recurrence in the demand for
horses and mules, have been hesitant
in resuming breeding operations, This
has resulted in present shortage OF
good work animals, and the scarcity
probably will be more acute within
the next few years.
Stations and Jacks Needed.
High-cIass stations and jacks are
not only scarce but are also OF high
average age al soon need to be
naplaced by I'd animals.

Round Bin Capacity Is
Figured Quite Easily

To find the number of bushels of
grain in a round or cylindrical field
grain bin Is matter of simple fig
uring, according to Prof. Cap E. Mil
Ter, head of the department of agrl-
cultural economics, North Dakota
Agricultural college.
The first step is to get the circum-
ference or distance around the bin in
feet. Then, square this figure and
multiply the result by .O795S. This
will give the area in square feet.
Now, multiply this area by the depth
of grain in the bin and the result
will be the number of cubic feet OF
grain in the bin. Multiply the num-
Der of cubic feet by 8 or divide by
IN for the number Of bushels OF
grain in the circular bin.
