THE SILO AND ENS1LAGB.
Specially Prepared for the Chronicle by
Professor T. H. French of the
State Agricultural College,.
' At the first introduction of the silo' in
this country, corn was the only crop cared
in it ; but it was found thai ensilage of
grans was superior. Since- 1880 nothing
has been contrived so beneficial to the
American farmer as the silo. It has helped
to furnish the necessary supply of butter,
cheese, and beef when all other means
have failed. " To the farmers of New En
gland, and the north west,during the long,
severe winters, the silo has become al
' most indispensible.
As soon as stock becomes used to ensi
lage they eat it ravenously. In spite of
what chemeets say practically it is found
- that stock keep just as well, in fact bet
ter when fed ensilage than when fed the
same kind of fodder dry.' Do we ourselves
not get more good from something we
relish for dinner than from twice as much
of something we do not relish? For the
cow we must have a variety of foods and
of a succulent nature to produce the larg
est per cent, of butter.
.. In building a silo only four simple
principles are to be borne in mind. "The
silo is practically an air-tight box or bin.
In building if on the ground we mqstsee
to it that water cannot enter its interior.
First, a good foundation of stone or ce
ment, if the silo is built by itself If it
is built within the corner : of ' a bam; we
.an take advantage 'of the barn founda
tion on two sides of -the silo. Make
these sides a little stronger by ' adding
few studding.' For (the other sides set up
2x8, or 2x10 in case of a deep silo, and
we have the frame complete. Make the
eidewalls perfectly safe from'" outward
pressure. If the foundation ' wall be
started 16 inches at the bottom carry it
op to where you want the studding to
begin ; then leave six or eight inches in
side and carry the remainder up to four
or five inches further, thus forming a
ledge for studding to rest upon, and to
keep them from springing ' outward.
The corners must be stayed by iron rods
or plank framed thus that the corners
are locked, as no air must be admitted.
' The outside of the silo may be of ' any
rough material. The first covering on
the inside may be some cheap material
that will nfake an even surface. .Over
this nail tarred building paper giving it
a good lap, and cover the same with
matched dressed lumber free from knots.
Leave a three-foot doorway,' into which
you slip matched planking from the
ground up as you fill the Bilo. To pro
tect the lumber lining the silo from the
hot vegetable juices, paint it with hot
gas tar and resin in the proportion of one
gallon of tar to one pound of resin. This
will dry in a day or two.
A soon as you have plowed the soil, in
spring, plant the corn for your silo,-then
it will come up ahead of the weeds.
Some prefer drilling with a grain drill,
making the rows three to four feet apart,
dropping the kernels about eight inches
apart. . At this distance we can get an
ear on every stalk, which is all-important.
Per acre eight to ten quarts of seed
will be required. It is considered more
important to secure grain' on the ensilage
crop than a large yield of fodder per
acre ; quality is here more important
than quantity. Fodder that has an ear
on every stock is more nutritious. - In
corn that nears maturity there 'is rela
tively less woody .material and a de
crease of acid, or more sugar. " The time
to cut it down is when the corn begins
to glaze. The fodder should hot get ripe
as a certain amount of moisture is neces
sary for . curing ' process, and ripening
converts certain digestible constituents
into indigestible woody Taber, causing a
, decrease of the flesh formers t he albu
nienoids and carbo-hydrates. However,
corn should reach maturity before cut
ting for the eilo.' " ' ' j
The fodder must be cut and elevated
into the silo by a machine. Several
farmers can buy the machine and power
together, and move "from one farm, to an
other. Slow or rapid filling of the silo
will do equall y well. It may be opened
at once or remain untouched for months.
Ensilage is deficient in albumenoids and
the best authorities agree that bran, oats,'
linseed meal or cotton seed meal should
. be fed with it. Feed the ensilage evenly
from the surface. A bushel of the loose
ensilage is enough for a cow or a horse,
or ten sheep. With safety a larger
amount of grain can be fed with ensilage
than with dry 4iay or fodder. Some
prominent stockmen consider ensilage
superior to good pasture. Many of the
best dairymen prefer ensilage ; in Wiscon
sin and New York . they : make batter
from cows fed on ensilage; at 10 to 13
cents 'A'pound It increases the yield of
butter and milk. -T. 3i Rodgers bf Bing
hainptonv N. Y,; keeps 100 cows on fift
five acres of land and makes butter at 13
cents a pound. The cry that ensilage
spoils milk is proved false by the testi
mony of such men as Hiram Smith of
Wisconsn; John Gould of Ohio, E. A.
Powell and Col. E. D. Curtis of New
Many horsemen find ensilage excellent
for colts and brood " mares. They keep
fall colts thrifty on it during the ' long
cold winters. Col. Curtis, the best au
thority on hogs in the country, says en
silage is also valuable for swine. . . i
; Cows give good returns for a food that
they relishj hence the success from ensil
age in the dairy. The silo enables the
farmer to make butter during a season
of drought or when 'prices are high.
Witb ensilage, winter dairying is becom
ing the rule in the east. . With a yield of
fifteen to twenty tons of ensilage corn
per acre, an equivalent of five or six tons
of good hay, 1 we' can keep much more
stock and keep it better than less stock
on a larger acreage. .
' ' Among the Schools of Wasco.- - '.
. Editor Chkoniclk: After being
roasted in the canons of the Deschutes,
chilled to the bone with the cold winds
on the ridges and almost buried alive
in the dust on the road ; after hunting
unsuccessfully for county- lines and
schools among badger holes,, breakers
and bunchgrass, I am not inclined to
complain, so far as my official duties are
concerned, - that Sherman got another
slice off Wasco.-
Stock ranges and schools do not go
very well together, and in the stock
man's parlance, after having made my
"round-up," I find two districts missing.
They are on paper in the office, but I
found no man who was able, to tell me
their whereabouts 'oh ' the earth.
Whether they'have perished in one of
the cold winters, strayed away to a bet
ter range or treated as a 'Maverick"
and appropriated, I' know hot ; but 54
and 57 are . missing. I have always
heard that the stock business was not
good for morals. - It may be so for I find
that most of the other districts east of
Deschutes bear another's brand. I only
found two schools to visit" on my trip.
The settlements are so widely scattered,
I found it almost ' impssible to get in
formation concerning them. .-,
;iNow, Mr. Editor, when' I hold up
my right hand and took the oath of of
fice, I was hot acquainted with this part
of the county,; I have tried to do my
duty in visiting schools, but I may have
failed. If there' is a school Out there
that has not had a visit from the super
intendent, if they will -write me giving
latitude and longitude, I will take along
a surveyor or a ship captain and try to
locate them." ":
In the Wasbiirne district,' No. 55, M
found a small school of thirteen pupils
Mrs. Chamberlain ' teacher. They have
no apparatus and poor furnishing, and
the teacher is greatly ' bothered by a
variety of books contrary to. law. Some
of the pupils are ' quite backward, but
the teacher and pupils all seemed to be
doing their duty and I am quite pleased
with my visit.
Miss Katie Cooper is teaching her
fifth term in the Antelope school,- No.
50. She is well known as a .teacher in
the county, having taught in The Dalles
public school two years. There were
thirty -one pupils present. The house
and furniture is poor vfith no apparatus.
I was disappointed in this for I expected
something better in this - lively little
town."" However, they are planning to
build, and though no definite steps have
been taken, I shall expect to find a nice
house next time, for I . understand the
citizens are generous in subscribing for
school purposes. I held a meeting ' in
the evening but on account of short
notice not many were present though a
pleasant time was had in singing and
talking on school business. ' '

An Ana-ry Client. & M
A lawyer of some eminence.-inr-thia
city, while enjoying reoeiarowitu
some friends the othef'higKt n&rratt an
incident of his .practice in which :Pamel
Drew, then a ;kJ.ng:-of -WjOT street;'
figured. Mr. DreVjha'bee n- by
persons who had been let out at; the small
end of the horn by Wm ittstodfefcaW:
action. The ragged financier was' mdig
nant and vicious when he sought the
aforesaid lawyer- and -requested, trim-to
take ",the vcase. 'The amount' for which
tha:. plaintiffs .sue3L was about $35,000,
and Drew said that he wanted the case
brought' into court' so .that .. he might
"show tip them fellers.' ; ' i ;
The lawyer made a careful investiga
tion of the facts and found that his client
had scarcely a leg to stand on in court.
He was anxious to win the case, how
ever',' and determined to see what in
genuity and an exhaustive knowledge of
legal technicalities would . accomplish.'
Circumstances favored him, and through
carelessness on the other side he succeed
ed in non-suiting the plaintiffs. 1 Elated
with this result he called on Mr. Drew
and triumphantly announced that vic
tory was theirs..
"But I haven't had a chance to tes
tify." said the old speculator peevishly.
"That was not necessary. JVe have
won the case without a trial.'
The "deuce you have.H exclaimed Mr.
Drew angrily. . "Well, you are a fine
lawyer to look after the interests of your
clients. I wouldn't give a dollar a bunch
for such lawyers as you are..
:?You don't seem to understand, Mr.
Drew," explained the lawyer. "We
have won the suit and yon are $35,000
ahead, to say nothing of the costs.". . ;
"Thunder and lightning, man!" fumed
the brusque Daniel, "what do I care
about the $35,000? I wanted to get on
the witness stand and tell what I thought
of them fellers." New York Times.
Men Are to Blame for Female Frivolity.
By the way, I think I occasionally hear
a feeble pipe from a man to the effect
that the girls are responsible for all the
tomfoolery in the world. Don't you know
that you are the very ones who tend to
make them so you men? You follow
after and woo and wed just that sort of
girls. ; Yon won't look at a sensible little
woman who can make'' "lovely" bread,
abjures . bangs, can't .dance and has no
"style." . -, You laugh : at and make sly
jokes at the expense of our big hats and
our pronounced fashions, but when yon
choose ypur company, and often . your
wives,,.! -notice ;you, pass right by the
homekeeping., birds and-, take the pea
cocks. If you. won't have her modest
and , simply , gowned she is willing to
make a feather headed doll and a trav
esty pf . herself , to . get . yon and win
heaven!.. You. know perfectly well, yon
men, that, yon don't care half so much
for brains as, you ,ab for "get-up," and
the woman you honor with your choice
is selected . for ,., pretty face and . form
and a becoming costume rather than for
a clover head and an honest heart., - . . ',
, I . am not talking to old fogies who
cling to old fashioned .notions, but to
young men who ridicule the customs of
their, grandmothers,, who . shake their
heads , at the salaries of. two and ; three
thousand a year as inadequate to support
wives;: who rail against woman's extrav
agance, yet do their best to maintain her
in it. When : you) my fine and dapper
gentleman, begin to seek out the .mod
estly appareled and the sedate girls, then
shall folly and vain show fly over seas
for. want 6f . encouragement and the
grand transformation of sawdust dolls
into women and pleasure seekers into
homekeepers take place. Cor. Chicago
