many of our experiment stations
have been carrying on feeding tests
and there are scores of bulletins
giving the results of these expert
ments. 1t is interesting to- note
that in spite of variable conditions,
the results are quite uniform.
Professor Morrison calls atten-
ton to the fact that the average of
twenty separate feeding tests, car
ried on in different experiment sta
tions in different years. showed that
where silage was fed there was
saving of $1.22 per hundred pounds
of beef. It would be very safe
then, to say that with the silo a
stock feeder can save at least $1OO
on producing a hundred pounds of
beef. To the dairy farmer keep
ing ten head or more of cows, the
silo becomes a necessity for eco
nomic production. There are a
great many tests and experiments
which conclusively prove this state
ment. AS to the exact value, again
we must take averages, for condi-
tons are extremely variable in the
different states and from year to
year.
I have averaged some of these
tests and find that ten cents on the
cost of producing a pound of but
terfat, where the silo is used, is a
very fair figure. For milk we can
place the amount at forty cents
saved on hundred pounds.
On all farms where cattle are
kept there are always a number of
young stock, bulls. steers, heifers,
and dry cows, which must be car
ried over for periods of months or
years, and the feeding of such stock
can be greatly lowered by the use
of silage. To arrive at some figure
for this, I have computed that
thirty per cent is saved on the feed
bill, and this item will include the
feeding of mules, colts, or horses.
BY using the figures given above,
any farmer can easily figure out
what a silo will save him in the
course of a year. It is understood
that to obtain the greatest value
from feeding silage, balanced ra-
tons must be given. And along
with the silage, every stock keeper
is obliged to provide some protein
food, preferably roughage, and
this can best be furnished in the
| form sof legume hay or pasture. It
has been wisely said that a stock
keeper having an abundance of
corn silage should always have a
good supply of legume hay. Clover,
alfalfa, oats and peas, soy beans
and COW peas are the best crops to
furnish this required balance.
Many farmers believe that by
shocking their corn they can OBJ
tain as good results and that AS
cheaply as with the silo. Expert
ments and tests have proven that
this is not true. From good
many of our states, covering a per-
iod of thirty years, this question
has been carefully worked out. and
it has been shown that losses, even
under favorable conditions, aver
age twenty per cent or more with
the shocked corn. Then the shock
ed corn lacks succulency which is
so valuable, especially with dairy
cows. Besides this, we have many
annoyances, and without doubt, the

The Earning of a Silo

The stock keeper without silo
naturally asks the question, what
will a silo do for me? How much
will it earn?" To answer this ques-
ton, giving only facts and figures,
is difficult because there is such

of feed as well as with live stock
and stock products. Still, there
are available great volume Of fig
ures and facts which will furnish

ton.

most disagreeable work on the
farm; namely, chopping corn stalks
out of the snow. In hauling the
manure with a spreader, corn stalks
make the task almost impossible.
And where crops are rotated, it is
difficult to seed a field covered with
shocks.
Some farmers refuse to use the
silo on account of the hard work of
filling. To such we can simly say
that improvements have been
brought about in filling silos which
now make the task much easier,
and there are figures to show that
the cost of filling is not as high
as it formerly was when we at
tempted to rush the crop in with
large machinery and much help.
The Wisconsin plan, using small
er equipment and fewer hands, will
save much time as well as annoy
ance. By using lowdown wagons
for hauling, or a bundle-loader with
the corn binder, the job of getting
the corn to the cutter is simplified.
We have found we do not need
men in the silo to tramp. This
saves two or three hands at filling
time. Corn cut at the proper stage
makes the best silage, and keeps
perfectly. With the small equip
ment it can be put up this way on
each and every farm. Then we
have many other benefits of the
silo, too numerous to mention here,
but it is safe to say that with our
half-million users. anyone in any
part of the county can easily find
silo user who can give him the
facts and figures.-A. L. Hacker.

Be diligent in saving all straw
and fodder. Corn stalks that in
other years were left standing in
the field will be worth real money
this season if cut up into fodder,
and oat straw used as winter feed
for horses also will be valuable, as
the fodder and straw will release
much hay for sale at profitable
prices, the Farm Bureau leader as
serts.
Also it will be well to weed out
the boarder milk cows, thus doing

add considerably to their 1880 in

More repressive measures were adopted by

broke out The disobedience campaign was
suspended until the violent feeling had died

He pleaded guilty to civil disobedience and
was sentenced To six years in prison.
1t was then believed that his power was
broken. He went into an eclipse But the fol-
lowing year, though still in prison, he was
elected sole executive head of the home rule
movement. Gandhi suffered serious illness,
and fierce outbreaks occurred among his fol-
lowers. AT last, still very ill., Gandhi was re-

because he was broken man.
The succeeding five years found Gandhi
very much in the background, nursing his
health.
Last year, however Gandhi again flared into
the headlines His group demanded absolute
freedom for India. GanCihi won them over to

Put while Gandhi was absent from India,
his lieutenants were going ahead with the
work of organization and the preaching of the
home rule doctrine. BY 1919 the Gandhists
numbered several millions. The absence of
Gandhi's active leadership and strong hand,
however, led to resistance of British authority
that was not quite passive. These clashes,
coupled with the absence of many British army
units normally stationed in India, led to several
serious disturbances Most serious of these
was that at Amritsar. where 500 Hindus were
killed and 1000 wounded
BY that time, however, Gandhi had united
both Hindus and Moslems in his cause and
became an open threat to the British power.
He declared that England had reneged on
promises made to India, and he had but to say
the word to set of all India in a flare of
violent uprising. Instead, in 1920, he pro-
claimed his national campaign of non-vioIent

Hospital, March II, 1880.

Mr.. Sartoris emigrated to America

Tacoma, and Seattle. For a number
Of years, in partnership with John A.
Billups, he owned and successfully
operated the Madras Hotel, Madras,
Oregon. Disposing of this business in
1927, he moved back to Seattle where
he resided with his family until his
death.
Married in 1912 to Lillian v. Billups,
pioneer girl of Vashon, he leaves his
