Vote for the best men for public
office, those who are the most de

who has nothing to rec immend him

not worthy of office.
The "yellow dog politician" is now
busy trying to get In h work be

to "vote her straight" and that a

wishes good government ami has no
ax of his own to grind, will vote for
the best men regardless of party
name.

FORAGE PROBLEM
Hy K V rurnett. Nebraska Kxperl
ment Station.
The rSC Sfl Kilns over the larger
Krtlon ol Hi" Itati have so Improved
the piospffts for corn that many
fields which did n t pioinise a t rop
two wi'rlis ago will now make from
one half to two thirds of a imp, an I
1 1, inn., field which Stre gtently In
jaicd will produce good lo:age, al
though Hie coin on these fields will
lie small and difflc;;,! to husk. The
question of forage will be the grea J
problem for the farmer in nearly all
pOrttotMi of the Mate. The farmer
I who has a good acreage of alfalfa w ill
not he as seriously hart as the man
I who has no nlfaira, but hay is hound
'to he high priced, atid hay of mar
letaMg quality Is now sellin, at tin
1 precedent) d prices. With m. re than
leaven million acres of corn growing
'in Nebraska, almost all of which will
make forage, every lamer should pro
vide himself with a corn birdr rnd
arrange to cut as much forage as he
will need lor his winter use. The
corn should be harvested while the
stalks ate sfiil green or when they
Brsl begin to lire nt the bottom, unless
the crop has largely recovered from
the effect of the drought and Is now
making rapid growth. Kvery farmer
who has a herd of twenty or more
head of cattle, 'specially If they .1
dairy cows, should seriously consider
the question ol the erection of a silo,
and if he decides to order a silo he
should order without delay and en
'haver to begin the erection of the
Itdlo within the next two weeks. The
js'lo should he finished and ready for
I lose hy the first of September, and
he cutter and power should be ar
ranged lor so that no illsappointme.it
will be experienced in filling tin- i'o.
It will la- sale to figure that three
tons of silage, or possibly a little le.js
than three tons of silage, is equal to
a ton of the best hay. Corn can proh
ably be put Into the silo for fiorn $2
1 U) $2.;tO per tun, including the cost of
1 growing the corn In nearly all sec
Hons ot the state the price of market
able hay will be more than $7 per
, ton. Another great -advantage in the
I silo will be the fact that plenty of
! forage will be available for winter
. use, whereas, without the silo, or at
. least without com fodder cut and
properly tared for. the forage on the
' farm would be insufficient for the win
ter's use. Kvery dairyman and mest
farmers of the state should use a silo,
, regardless of the scarcity of feed, be
I cause It is more economical than ferd
I !ng entirely dry food during the win
ter season, pastern states whore
I land has become high priced have
I been building silos for many years,
nd the progressive farmer general'v
agrees that hi' cannot make a prod I on
live stock without the use 01' silage
for winter feeding, in the leading
dairy districts the use of illage for
summer reeding has io om almost,
"qnally ns Important. The dairymen
feels that he 1 annot afford to run the
risk of drought and short pastures,
even In an average season, and with
1 asons like the present gammer the
man wit'i a silo full of feed for sum
mer use has had a very great advan
tage over those depending wholly up
on pasture or on torage crops. It is
to be hoped that Nebraska farmers
generally will study this question thor
oughly and will take this next Step
forward in agricultural practice as a
method of Increasing their profits on
, the land

HOG PASTURES
Tly Professor Chat.es B. Fe, Depart
ment of Animal Husbandry, Univer
sity or Nebraska.
The advantages derived by having
a good range of pasture for hoga to
feed uison are of a twofold nature.
Flint, we have thus Tarnished (heap
food material tu supplement the costly
concentrated iccds. Secondly, the
tanging after fotnge provides eor
eiee. an important t onslderatioi- for
growing pigs and breeding stock. This
1 last factor is an important one since
exercise Is very necessary for the
young of all a:iimals. It is much more
difficult to produce a runt in a large
lot than it is In a close pen. Al
though any kind or pasture is much
' Iter than a dry lot, there is never
theless considerable differ) nee in the
food value of pasture, and for that
reason care should be exercised In
piovidinn the best pasture possible.
For perm. mono as well as feeding
importance. -1 1 fa 1 fa makes the best
forage which the swine feeder can se
cure. The hig-h protein value of this
plant makes it supplement a 'grain
laiieu of co'n, the universal stock
food of the middle west, in a most ad
mirable way. Its permanency doe-s
away with tho necessity of frequently
changing yards and reseeding, while
Its succubney and palatablllity are
an incentive to the appetite. Next to
alfalfa, We have 1 lover, a biennial
crop, in the noiih, and soy beana anu
owpeas, two annual ctopa, in th
south. All th.ee of these oops DWf
No. 1 pastures r.nd while lacking ih
permanent character of alfalfa, never
