an I and Silage.
There a^y has said that a silo
Thtortgage both would not
stay on the same farm. This
may not be literally true, but it
emphasizes the value of the gilo. I
The silo is not a new thing, but:
it is comparatively new in this i
state. I hope to see a great
many silos built fn Arkansas this j
i year. However, some things!
must be taken into considera-1
tion before building.
A silo alone will not make j
money- You must have stock to j
feed, and you must have enough
stock to eat the contents of the
silo during the winter season.
If you have the silo and the
stock, you must then provide the
silage. Silos have their great
est value as a means of provid
ing a good feed at a small cost.
Silage is made from corn, by
cutting the corn in the field be
fore it is mature, and just as the
car hardens the dents begins to
form. At that time the stalks
and blades are full of moisture,
and the feed is heavy in weight.
After the corn is cut and hauled,
it is run through a cutter, and
chopped up into small pieces,
stalks, blades, ears and all, and
stored in the silo. When packed
down it is kept air tight and re
mains green and fresh.
About ten tons of silage can
be grown to the acre. Ten or
twelve acres of corn should fill a
100-ton silo. bilage can be
grown and put in the silo at
from $1.50 to $3.00 per ton.
This makes a cheap feed- It is
worth pound for pound about
half as much' as good hay, in
feeding to stock. Silage is a cat
tle feed. It has little if any val
ue for hogs, because hogs do
not like it. It is not the most
satisfactory feed for horses,
though often fed successfully to
them. Silage is fine as a dairy
feed, and good for beef produc- j
tion. Some fine results have j
been obtained in this state feed-!
ing fattening cattle silage and (
cotton seed meal.
There is no trouble in making
plenty of milk and butter with
the aid of a silo. There’s no
trouble in keeping a bunch of '
cattle in good growing condition
through the winter in this
state with a silo. They are al
right. The silo agents are go
ing about all over Arkansas
now trying to sell silos. Re
member that the silos are good
things, but do not let an agent
talk you into buying one unless
you can use it profitably. If
you own a farm and have
enough stock, buy a silo. If
you haven’t then wait until you
get the stock

Alcohol Promotes Insamty.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, March 16.—Dr.
A. L. Greene, superintendent of
the Arkansas Hospital for the,
treatment of Nervous Diseases,
will deliver an address before a
temperance society of the First j
Methodist church, South, this
afternoon on the relationship be
tween alcohol and insanity. Dr.
Greene is one of the foremost
alienists of the United States,
having been in charge of Illinois,
Nebraska, Iowa, and other state
institutions before coming to Ar
kansas, and he contends that al
coholism is the cause for the
greater per cent of all insanity
cases- This will be Dr. Greene’s
first public appearance as a lec
turer in the cause of temperance,
but he has very pronounced
views along this line, and had so
frequently forcibly expressed
them, that he was requested to
give the public advantage of his
years of observation among in
sanity cases. Dr. Greene de
clares that a large per cent of
the inmates of the Arkansas in
stitution would not be there to
day but for an overindulgence in
alcoholic liquors.
$13,000 Fire Loss.
Augusta, March 16.—The Au
gusta Cooperage Company was
damiaged to the extent of $13,
000 today in a fire that for a
tim|e endangered the entire city.
No insurance was carried on the
saw mill which suffered consid
erable damage. The office build
ing, which also caught fire, was
insured for about $1,000.
E. H. Conner & Co. suffered
damages estimated at between
$300 and $400. Only the ware
house of this firm was damaged.
The cause of the fire is un
known.

Clean Up For Searcy.
Searcy, March 16.—The wo
men of the Civic Improvement
League have arranged for a spe
cial rally day to be held at the
court house tomorrow' afternoon
at 3 o’clock. It will be an open
session for the public, for the
improvement of health condi
tions in Searcy during the com
ing summer and effecting plans
for extensive improvements in
streets.
Mayor M. H. Greer will deliv
er an address; Mrs. S. H.
Wright will read a paper on the
“Value of Co-Operation Be
tween Men and Women in Public
Work.” “The Old Order Chang
eth” will be the title of a paper
to be read by Mrs. Herbert L.
George. Talks will be made by
Dr. L. E. Moore and Mrs- John
G. Critz, the latter using for a
subject, “What Is Being Done,
What Remains to Be Done, Who
Should Do It?”
Sometimes They Are Right.
