Esbon Times. WHAT THE LOCAL PAPER DOES. Each year every local paper, remarks the Publisher's Guide, glvea from $100 to $5,000 in free lines for the benefit of thei community in which it Is located. No other agency can or will do this. The local editor, in proportion to his means, does more for his town than any other ten men, and in fairness, man with man, oughtto be supported, not because you like him or aidmlre his writings, but because local ppjper is the best investment a community can make.

It may not be brilliant or crowded with great thoughts but financially It1 is more of a benefit to a community than a preacher or a teacher. Understand mow, we do not mean morally and yet on the moral question you will find the majority of local pap-firs are on the right side of the question. Today the editors of local oarers; do the most work for $he least money of any people living. Lovewell Index. BLUE BIRD.

We went Into a barber shop the other day and the barber, in old southern darky who says anything and does anything no matter how ridiculous to please you. The old fellow said "Jedge, this is your first time down?" We confessed that thajt was true, but explained that It was not wholly our fault. He continued In his Jabber by saying "well Jedge the way these fellows around Washington will separate you from your money will be a caution, why sah, they Is jest a Uttle better than a set 'of thieves around here "when it comes to staging at the hotels etc," We listen ed on until he had finished, then getting out of the chair, finding that we had only a half dollar In change handed him that.

The old man took it, bowed nearly to the floor and thanked us very profusely, but made no motion toward handing us back any change, until we reminded! him that there was a little coming It only goes to show that what some times appears to be a great graft In others does not look nearly so harsh when the proceeds are headed for our own pockets. John Conelly. KAFIR SILAGE GREATEST Kafir silage made 28 per cent more profit than corn silage In feed ing beef cattle ajt theKansas Agricultural College. Sweet sorghum silage made. 8 per cent more profit than corn silage.

This feeding teat made with Hereford cattle shows how eastern Colorado, western, western Oklahoma, the panhandle and all western Texas may become treat centers for fattening beef oaittle. Corn silage has usually produced better gains than either kaflr or songhuiin silage. The reason was found In this test. The Katflr and sorghum used' to make silage for this feeding test were cut when the seeds were practically matured, but while the stailks were green and filled with sap. Cotton seed meal was fed with each kind of silage.

The dally gains made from feeding kaflr and sorghum silage were sdlghtly larger than those made from feeding 90m sil age. The chief increase in profit oaime from the lower cost of both kaflr and sorghum silage on account of the higher yield per acre of these crops. The yields obtained per acre on upland wetre: corn 7.1 tons, kaflr 6 tons and sorghum 8.2 tons, the yieilds per acre on bottom temd were: corn 15 tons, kaflr 17 tons, sorghum 23 tons. In a two year test at the Kansas Agricultural College of silage for" dairy cows, iit was found that silage from corn, kafir and sorghum werte practically equal pound tor pound for milk production. Cows gave daily per head ome-slxth of a pound more milk on corn silage than on kaflr silage and gained slightly more In wegiht on the kaflr silage.

Corn silage produce an average; dally yield of milk of one-half pouhi per cow more than Borghum silage. These differences aire so small that they show the feeds to be practical- ly equal. The choice of crop to plant depends upon the probable yield per acre. Prof. O.

E. Reed, who made the dairy test, says "thait the time of cutting kadilr and sorghum for ailr age is all important In making good silage from these crops. These crops should he practically mature with the stalk still filled wti(th sap: If put up too green the silage will be sour. Kafir and sorghum should be upt in the silo before frost if possible, but it Is advisable to let the crop stamd until after frost ra-thef than to put it ino the silo too green. After a heavyfroatj the crop must be 'cut and put in the bIJo immediately.

It it dries too add sufficient water to pack well." Every farm in the southwest should have one or more H. B. Johnson, Chdckasha, Oklahoma fattens 3,000 or more steers yearly. Last year he fattened head with silage and the others without it. His silage fed cattle brought him $10 pef head profit afoove those fed without silage.

He says that awry farmer even though he has only, 80 acres should have a alio and that, if he Were a small and lacked he would pledge everything he had to buy silo rather than to go without it When farmer has money he can build a concrete silo or buy a metal or wood one. If his means ira limited he can dig a pit silo and Blaster it with cement. If he can afford the cement, he can dig pit silo and fill without plastering. A TICE!
