By G. L. MARTIN The silti Weil fillet? with silage is equal to a paetute in the winter time. At least the cows think so and con- tinue to produce milk the same as when kept on a grass pasture in the summer time. In fact the use of si- lage makes it possible to continue Cie gt•ass conditions throughout the (attire. year and nothing will compare with it In the winter as it milk pro- ducing feed. Tilt - advantage of silage over any other Iced lies in the fact that It ful- fills all of the requirements of a milk producing feed, being succulent, pal- etable and easily digestible. The cows like It in conin‘ction with the dry hay and grain and will eat much more than where they are given only the common dry roughage of the farm. Silage is easily digested, too. as it is cut ana put into the silo be- fore the crops are ripened or injured by the frost. so it is more or less in the green condition. Another great advantage of silage is the fact that it eombines well witit the othcr feetis on the average farm like clover. alfalfa and grains to make a balanced ration for dairy cows and one that is very economical. Corn silage and clover or alfalfa wili make a good milk -making feed for dairy cows without any grain what- ever. One thing many farmers overlook In figuring on the silo and that is the great amount of feed which can he grown on a relatively small area.

To guard against an unfavorable termination or the development of one of its numerous complications, horses upon showing evidences of in- fluenza should be relieved immed- iately front work. Most careful nursing is also essential for horses affected e Hit influenza and. likewise, skilled medical treatment, which can be best assure, by pla;ing affected animals tinder the care of a qualified veterinarian. The spread of the in- fection should be prevented by seg- regating the disersed animals and thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the contaminated rremises. Plenty of sunlight and good ventilation are also highly desirable. Equine influenza is a common dis- ease in the large cities of the coun- try. affecting horses whieli pass through infeeted stables of dealers. Only. however. under certain in- tluences not understood and when latge numbers of horses in commer- cial channels are exposed to con- tagion. does it assume an ezootic or epizootic form. Unlike certain other infectious diseases, one attack of in- fluenza does not grant a lasting im- munity. However, previous attack or attacks or other unassignable rea- sons apparently make old horses less susceptible than young ones. An Old Disease 111 Horses Ifietory indicates that this dis- ease has been recognized in various outbreaks for several hundred years past. Even before the Christian era. a severe epizootic believed to be in- fluenza is recorded as having occured in Sicily. and again in A. 1). 1301 it spread over a considerable portion of Daly. causing great loss among the war horsea of Rome. In 1648 the disease affected Germany and spread to other parts of Europe, and in 1711. it followed the tracks of the great armies all over Europe, caus- ing immense losses among the horses. Other extensive outbreaks obtained at intervals from 1813 to 1883, one of which Wall that of 1870 1873. in connection with the Franco- Prussian ear. The first recorded appearance of egitine influenza in North America was in 1766. Pro- bably the most severe outbreak, how- ever. was that of 1870-1872. when it spread over the entire country front Canada. south to Ohio and then eastward to the Atlantic coast and westward to California, although the severity of the outbreak of 1900 1901 should not be overlooked.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of furs go out of Niontana to eastern markets every year, and many men and lios Add materially ft, their incomes by trapping fur bearing animals. Here is a little ad- vice on efficiency on the trapping and marketing ot turs, by W. J. Bur- nett, president of the Nortlivstern Bide and Fur Company. am expert in his line, which should be read with interest by all interested in the prof- itable sport of trapping. \Efficiency ls big tvord; it can be applied to many kinds of profes- sions. The general definition is: the act or power of producing re- sults, getting the most and best furs. rnd selling them to the best advant- age. Efficiency In the art of trap- ping depends largely on four things. viz: good jutignunt, keenness, dili- gence and shrewdness. GI I Judgment \Judgment must be used in select- ing your equipment—to trap the fur bearer one must be prepared. Good traps are the most essential asset Standard traps should be used. in no case is the old saying. \the best is the elleapest\ found to be more true than in selecting your traps. Traps with weak springs, poorly made, N1111 lose you many dollars. The springs are apt to crystalize in cold weather and break. One •gootl fur bearing animal lost will more than pay the difference on it dozen standard make traps. In the trap- ping season one should never go over his trap line without being fully pre- pared to meet any and all unexpected game. \leeenness. to observe to a purpose anything pertaining to catching of fura, comes by constant study of the habits of the fur bearing animals. An efficient trapper knows the tracks of all the animals; he knows the direc- tion the animal went; lie knows what flee trap to use to capture it; he knows bow to set the trap and how to set the baft, and he knows from ob- servation on former instances. when to expect the animal to return. Keen- ness to observe plays a big part In efficiency. Diligence \Diligence should be lased in skin- ning the animal anti handling their pelts. W'Iten animals are trapped, you must know how to remove their pelts. how to stretch and dry them in order to bring the highest market value. Only through careful stud% means efficiency.
