The Workmen's Cmpensation Board for the Province of Ontario has just issued a statement showing that the Board awarden $5, 565, 443.39 in bene- fits during "1925. This figure is notice- ably lower than the total for 1924 which. was $£,122,820.24, While com- pensation awarded has been less, the total number "of 'accidents reported have been greater, amounting in 1925; 0 60,012 as ccmpared with 58,675 LE ing 1924.' One notable feature of the ' accident statistics, however, 'is 'the de- | crease in fatalities, the total number of fatalities in 1925 being 345 which is considerably less 'than the figures for 1824 which were set at 402. This alone is a most important item to the whole Province, It is evident from the figures issued by the Board that while minor aceld- ents show an increase, probably due in part to better reporting, the serious and more 'costly types of accidents are on the down grade. In this connection Mr V. A. Sinclair, K.C.," Chairman of the Workmen's Compensation Board, giving out the figures for 1925, states: "There has been a great deal of at- "tention paid during the present year "to accident prevention work, which "no doubt has been in some measure "at least responsible for the lessened | "cost of compensation; and the safety "organizations .are 'expecting to "carry on a much more intensive "campaign during 'the coming year "and they are in 'hopes 'thereby' to "reduce the frequency, severity, and Royzl Household Flour, 98-& AR Hl wm $4.95 Bran, per 100-ibs __._ i 1.40 Shorts, per 106-1hs ____ 1.50 Feed Oats, 8-bus sacks 1.90 Dur Groceries are Always Fresh and Prices Reasonable, " rr tm dim SCOTT Dryden "PRIMROSE" ISHS pp AM ..

Lusitania Play Is Hissed DARMSTADT, Germany, January 19. --Nationalists and modernists gave a mixed reception 'to the premiere of Alfred Doblin's "Lusitania," which dramatically depicts the torpedoing of the liner, experiences of some of the characters on the bottom of the sea, and finally their rescue. Nationalists considered the subject their 'death agonies are made to swear vengeance against those who sank the liner."

Lon Em SAVING SILO FODDERS HOW TO CONTROL FERMENTA- TIVE ACTION IN THE SILO. Jse Lactic Acid Culture, But Only If Needed---Moisture In Silage Mak- ing -- Weeds -- Corn as a Fodder Crop. er i (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) Attempts have been made to con- trol or direct the fermentative action within the silo. The lactic acid bac- teria (bacillus lactis acidi) has long been known to be beneficial in silage making, and its product, lactic acid, is found to the extent of cne per cent. in well-made silage. Adg Bacillus Lactus Acid. Experience has demonstrated that the addition of bacillus lactis acidi in quantity to the fodder as the silos were being filled. gave good resulti., partxularly so when the fodder was past the best stage for making high grade silage. The addition of the bacillus lactis aeidi in quantity to the more or less spoiled fodder provides, an active agent to check and over- i; ride the other bacteria present and 3 thereby control the fermentative pro- cess and bring the silage mass to a fairly uniform eondition with laetic acid predominant in the silage. How to Add the Culture. This addition of lactic acid cultures to the fodder at the time of silo fill- § ing is easily accomplished by secur- ing a small quantity of pure culture for lactic acid from.a freamery as a beginning. The pure culture is plac- ed in a three-gallon can of clean skim milk and allowed to ripen for three days. This can be added to more skim milk and a quantity of culture developed that there may be at least one gallon for each ton of fodder that goes into the silo. This skim milk culture, carrying vast numbers of ba- ¢ cillus lactis acidi is sprinkled over the cut fodder as the silo filling proceeds. Do Not Use Cuiture Unnecessarily. § If the corn is in prime condition i: for silags making at the time of en- -siling, nothing is to be gained by adding culture. However, its use is strongly advised if the corn or other fodder ig a bit off in condition, due to damage through unseascnable wea- ther, delays; ete. --L. Stevenson, Dept. of Extension, 0. aA. C., Guelph. % Moisture In Fodder for Silo. It'is essential that there should be sufficient moisture present in fodder at the time it is being placed in the silo -to provide the water require- i | ment for the ensiling process and y leave the surplus necessary to have : amply moist, well made silage after , the fermentative and cooling pro- cesses have taken place, With suffi- cient moisture present in the ensiled mass there is little danger of the frrmentation temperatures running too high. Corn in the glazed stage, or dried out through freezing, or long delays in harvesting will require lib- eral wetting. The shortage in plant juices can be made up by the appiica- tion of water in quantity sufficient to thoroughly wet the cut fodder. Water is best applied by running a small stream directly into the fodder cutter while: the fodder is being passed through and blown up into the silo. With water under pressure, a valve | to control the flow, and a section of § garden hose the process of wetting the cut fodder is easy.--L, Steven- son, Q. A. ., Guelph, - re--. 4 > Weeds.
