Farcical Judging of Fruit.
The writer attended the Illinois
state fair last weep , and while there
trade a cursory examination at the
fruit in the horticultural exhibit. The
premiums had been already awarded ,
and some of the results were start-
ling. The judge that awarded the pro.
mlums for Bartlett pears had placed
lhe blue ribbon , which indicates first ,
on 0. plate ot KelCCers. The KeifIers
too had none of the appearance or
Ual'lIetls but were typical 1eiffers A
Plato of Rome beauty tool first prize
as York lperial , though the Rome
beauty was typically Home Beauty and
the York hnilerials ] shown were typical -
cal York hnIJErinls.
What Inducement Is there for fruit
men to show fruit it the judges selected -
lected are men almost ignorant ot
the things they arc supposed to judge.
It I would lJe tar better to hire experts
at almost any price than to have such
re mlts. Ot the three judges chosen
only one , so far as the writer knows ,
Is an expert on truit. If all three
JUdged j the same fruits the results
might not be so bad ; but each one
was given 11 certain amount of the
fruit to jUdge and made supreme I\ )
fal' as " that fruit was concerned. The
expert used the better part or two
days in arriving at his decisions ,
while the other men made their
awards In a few hours.
'rhe expert related to the writer the
manner in which he was selected. The
member or the Illinois State Board o ef
Agriculture that had charge or tbe. .
fruit exhibit wrote to 0. lawyer in the i
city and UNIted him to select a judge
for the fruit. The lawyer chose the
h ult. man mentioned. It is probable
that the same unscientific method was
used in the selection of the other
Judges. It is surprising that they
got oven one good man out or three.
Such Inefficiency in the manage
moat of the horticultural exhibition
cannot be too severely condemned
Wo have spent hundreds of thousands
of dollars in equipping 0. state fair
as an educational Institution and
then the management is turned over
to men entirely incapable of managing -
ing it In a way to make the el1uca-
tional feature at any value. The 1111.
nets State Board of Agriculture has
the names or numerous fruit growers
In this state any one or which knows
enough about apples and other fruit
to at least recognize the varieties
Why are they not appointed as judges y
The trouble with the Illinois \ Stat
Board of Agriculture seems to bo that
0. man Is appointed as Superintendent
of 0. department and then allowed 0.
free hand to work his own sweet will
No matter how little he knows about
It , he is not interfered with , and It
would be considered discourteous to
even malts suggestions to him. The
power ot the man Is supreme over all 1
the exhibitors. His opinion Is accept
ed and must be accepted against the
opinions of men that know 0. hundred
times more about the exhibit than
ho does.
In the selection or judges for the
fruit there Is no reason why the State
Board of Agriculture should not asle
the advice of the State Horticultural
Society. When the International Live
Stock Exposition and the World's Fair
managers wanted live stock jUdges
they wrote to the different lln stock
associations and asked them to name .
0. number of men who were able to :
Judge In their breeds. Out of these !
the managers ot the two great shows I
made their selection of jUdges and so
got men well equipped for judging
There Is no reason why a State Board
of Agriculture should not ask the
State Horticultural Society to name
men capable of Judging the differs
kinds of fruit. lt would be tar better
than writing to u local lawyer and

Silage In the Cow Ration.
At the last roundup ot Wisconsin
Institutes i , C. P. Goodrich said :
Now , I wlll tell you how I think Is
the cheapest , easiest and best way to
provide summer feed for cows. It Is
to have 0. good silo and put up corn
slIage. It you have good pasture this
silo needs to be only about one.ha-lt as
largo as the one which holds the win.
ter silage. It should be smaller In
diameter , but just as deep , so that
enough can be fed from the top each
day to keep the silage tram being damaged -
aged lIy exposure to the air. In this
way you can have the best or feed to
tide over a time of drouth and short
pasture. It wlll lie always ready and
In the mOlt : convenient form po3aible
to feed. The cows will eat the silage
with great relish every day , no matter
how good the pasture is , though they
will \ not oat as much as in winter ,
when on otherwise dry feed.
I know personally ; several men who
practice this way and feed silage every
day In the year , and I need not tell
yOU they are very successful men. I
know n few men who feed silage the
year round who do not have any land
In pasture. I have in mind one now
who has 0. small farm and keeps as
many head or cattle as ho bas acres of
land. He has nearly one-third at his
land in alfalfa , and the balance , outside .
Ride of that occupied by buildings and
yards , is used for growing oats and
COI'11. He has the material for n' good ,
well balanced , succulent ration the
year round , and his cows produce
splendidly. Practically one acre feeds
0. cow. If he needs to buy a little
concentrated feed the pork made from
the skim milk Is ample for that pur
pose.
Need : I tell you that this man Is
getting for his labor and his feed a
very high price indeed ? They who de
as he does arc getting many times as
much as some men who work harder
than they do , just because they use
intelligence , judgment and skill In
"summer cow feeding , " as well as In
"winter cow feeding , " and In selection ,
breeding and care of cows.

The Silage-Fed Hog.
'Ve have not yet come to really ap
preciato the value of silage In the
feeding ot hogs. Only a few men
have as yet begun to experiment In
that direction. The silo has been
glooked upon as primarily an adjunct to
the dairy and next to that a help tc
the steer feeder. 'Vo do , however
hear now and then of 0. man that IE
malting silage 0. principal teed in the
feeding of hogs. One man of whom
we know raises several hundred hog
0. year mostly on silage. He raise
dent corn for his silo and has It cui t
into quarter-Inch lengths. In te\dln@
It he gives about two-thirds of ensl1 1
age mixed with one-third meal , arty i
continues this feed till the animal
weigh in excess of 100 pounds. The
ho decreases the silage or rather 'i n .
creases the amount or meal toward
the finishing periol1. The result is that I
he has been making cheap pork : that t
was In demand at a good price on thE
market. This makes It possible tc
produce cheap pork even in mldwln'
ter. Our farmers have said that the
did not raise tall pigs for the reason
that they had neither skim milk nor
other winter feed. Here appears to be
the way out. .
Cherry Budded on Own Roots
A well known horticulturist say
that he never grafts the cherry on Its
own roots : for he finds in case of doing -
jug that that the root sprouts and
sends up a new growth and the on g.
anal scion dies. This ot course prevents -
vents the using ot the variety involved
and gives a worthless seedling instea I
It is better to plant trees that have
been budded on Mazzard or Mo.haleb
stock , which will never sprout. One
of the most annoying conditions of
cherry growing will then have been
done away with. All of the subatanc
taken from the soil will go into tbe
main tree Instead of into a sprout , an4
the tree wilt keep Ot' ' growllli'

Six Doctors Failed.
South Bend , Ind. , Oct. 24 Special
-Alter suffering tram Kidney Disease
for three years ; after taking treat
meat from six different doctors with
out getting relief Mr. J. O. Landsman J
at this place found not only relief but' , .
a speedy and complete cure In Dodd's
Kidney Pllls. Speaking ot his cure
Mr. Landsman says :
"Yes , I suffered from Kidney
(
Trouble for three years and tried six
doctors to no good. Then I took just
two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and
they not only cured my kidneys , but
gave me better health ID general. Of : _ I
cOrse I recommended Dodd's KIdney . /
Pills to others and I know a number
now who are using them with good re-
g.sulfa. . "
Mr. Lo.udeman's case is not an ex-
ception. Thousands give similar ex-
periences. For there never yet was a
case of Kidney Trouble from Backache
to Bright's Disease that Dodl1's Kid-
Hey Pills could not cure. They are
the only remedy that ever cured
