ECONOMY IN THE SILO. Some farmers believe that the silo is too expensive a structure for them on the farm, but the men who hold such an opinion have not investigated the matter, A well built, permanent silo can be put up for $1.00 per ton of capacity, that is a cost of $200 for a silo that will hold 200 tons of feed. This amount of feed will supply 20 cows with all the silage they should have even if they aro big cows and are fed the year round. If the farmer is to build 'a barn that will hold hay for 20 cows, even for the winter can he build it for $300? Not at all, He will have to invest very much more tan that sum. So, we see that ensilage is the cheapest thing possible to feed, if we are to consider the cost of the strncture that contains it, The`farm- er who intends to largely increase the number of his cows, will have to put hundreds of dollars into a barn struc- ture if he intends to confine himself to the feeding of hay for roughage. It will be far easier for him to extend his stables and build a silo than to construct a stable sufficiently high to hold the hay. When a man is freed from the necessity of providing for bulk feed, he can then construct his dairy stable ,with the one object of getting cleanliness and light. He can build his stable long, low and secure a flood of light from three sides. This structure does not have to be heavy as it must be if it is to sustain a heavy superstructure. A silo is thus not expensive, and moreover it is a great encouragement of the development of dairying, It solves the problem of how a dairyman can make a living off 50 to 100 acres of land. That is going to be the great question in the not far distant future, for the farms are al- ready being put up into smaller ones. BACK TO THE FARM. (Guelph Herald) A significant conference of educa- tors has just been held in Illinois, the first of its kind in the United States. Its purpose was to consider how the common schools could be made to con- tribute more effectually to the de- velopment of agriculture. It named a committee to plan a cause of study in practical agriculture for all elementary schools. It decided to hold another meeting during the summer at the University of IIlinois, during that institution's short course in agriculture, which is to be attended by 1,000 pupils from every part of the state. And it arranged for a whole- sale campaign of public instruction as to the needs of bringing to boar upon farming the best aids of modern sci- ence, In this campaign the co-opera- tion of all high schools, colleges and universities is to be enlisted -the en- tire educational power of the state is to be focused upon it, Pretty soon the movement will be nation wide, The numerous warnings of alert railway executives like Jim Hill and Wm. 0. Brown, couple with the eye-opening effect of unprecedent- ed high prices and the swift decline in the once enormous exports of food- stuffs are having a wholesome effect in the U. S. Many a lad now starting to college who thought a few years agothat he would like to ,qualify to be a lawyer, doctor, or engineer is wondering if, after all, he had not better fit himself to be a scientific farmer; and the num- ber of such will increase rapidly in, the next few years. Public Ownership In The West, (Weekly Sun) In the three Prairie Provinces the telephone has been put under public ownership; in id nitoba,theProvincial Administration stands pledged to in- augurate a system of Government- owned elevators for the handling of the surplus grain crops of the Pro vinoe; the Saskatchewan Government has appointed a commission to en• quire a proposal i 1 o smt to follow Malik toba'a example In Alberta creameries are opbrated nett:Jr dlreatton of the l'ro' irsoilll Goverarent; steps are being taken t* establish a pork pack- ing plant on the 'sante basis, and farm- ers' organisations In ail parts of the prairie ,swan 'y are pressing the Do. m^ipnten Government nt+rtoint to take over the, beratheel isleviatorisA OA luta of l THE W 'NGUAM ADVANCE Superior and to establish like eleva- tors at Vancouver,. . It lo only three years since the first step along the pathway now being rot - lowed, was taken by these Provinces in the public ownership of phones, This was when the Government of Alberta built a line from Calgary to Banff, a distance of ninety miles, To- day there are in the three Provinces 15,000 pole miles with 40,000 subscri- bers, and a capital investment ap- proaching ten millions, all under public ownership, In Manitoba alone the milege has been increased from 3,350 to 5,180 in two years, and two and one-half million dollars will be spent by that Province in construction work this year. In the majority of cases the charge of phones has been reduced by $t or $5; long distance rates have also been lowered; and with all this, in Manitoba, there was a surplus on operation of $372,000 last year. The Western Provinces pro- mise to become a good second to New Zealand as world experiment stations in legislation along the lines of State Socialism. The Town Of Cochrane. A year and a half ago this town was not on the map. To -day it is thriving, bustling community, taking on the airs of a metropolis, basing great ex- pectations on two facts, one that it is the center of a district rich in timber, mineral, water -power, and agricul- tural land, and second that it is the junction point of two great railw'ys, the new National Transcontinental, building by the Dominion Govern- ment, and the T. and N. 0., built by the Ontario Government, And a year; and a half ago this was the forest primeval. At that time the T, and N. 0. rails were laid to within a couple of miles of the present town. A hard- ware merchant named McManus, with the adventurous spirit of the pioneer, decided to establish a store here. He bought a carload of hardware in To- ronto, brought it to the end of the rails, and proceeded to haul it by team along the trail for the rest of the jour- ney, Before he had it transported he had sold over half of the whole car. McManus was the first settler. To- day he is still the first citizen, being the duly elected Mayor of a town or around 2,000 inhabitants. Last week a newspaper man tried to buy a lot on the front street. It is valned at $1500, but is not for sale at all. Real estate is valuable, and the newspaper man had to content himself with a lot on a side street at $700. MOD" JUNE 2, I91'O WEED OUT POOR COWS: A dairy cow is often judged by the scale of points of the breed to whloh she belongs. Another method is to rate her according to her general ap- pearance and the external indications of milking powers ; appearances are sometimes deceitful. Recently a farmer near Ornietown, Que., sold five 6at 9 cows .. e. $ a ash, saying they were no good as dairy cows.. The purchaser found, to his great satisfaction, that one gave him 10,000 pounds of milk and another 1.3,000 pounds. Some- times a cow is valued because she is. easy to keep, or she is a docile family pet, Ooming nearer to the practical test, a farmer may judge his best cow to be the one that daily gives a couple of pailfuls of milk in June ; though she may quickly decrease in flow, the remembrance of that big yield sticks in her owner's mind, and she is unde- servedly ranked too high. Or she may have earned a wide local reputa- tion just by one isolated test for fat very likely higher than normal. On the other hand, a cow that gives only a moderate yield, but attends strictly to business for a reasonably long milk- ing period will probably prove the more valuable. Again, there may be some general idea of production, but totals that are only estimated are gen- erally in excess of the actual yield. The positive proof of value is cer- tainty of the cow's ability to produce milk and fat economically ; the gen- erous -minded, unselfish, real dairy cow, independent of strikes and lock- outs, works full time, and returns a handsome margin of profit above the computed cost of feed. The one infal- lible test is a record of the production. of each cow for the full period of lac- tation. Don't average up the herd ; ascertain that each cow is a specialist. Here Was A Brute. When a Blenheim, Kent County, physician was called to attend a wo- man suffering from high fever he heard the "cheep" of newly hatched chicks. A search throughout the room was unavailing, when suddenly to the doctor's surprise, several newly - hatched chicks emerged from under the coverlet of the bed. The farmer, having heard that high fever ran three weeks, and eggs taking the same time to hatch, conceived the idea of utilizing the fever heat for hatching. A general clean-up dis- closed piles of egg shells in the bed.
