SAIN RESPONSE AND VAUMCTOKY 4HV0I BY HISS INEZ BACON AT CMf MENCEMENT EXERCISES Pot. the aenior clan of 1913,1 wish to sky to yon, dear juniors, that we thank you for all the many kindnesses Which you have shown to us; for the many encouraging smiles and nods, numerous sympathetic words, the ^ pleasure your small blunders afforded ' us, and, especially, for the excellent I banquet you recently gave us. Perhaps you think I say this because ^ It la customary. Now do not. think that, for it is far fromjthe truth. Do you think we shall ever forget your smiling countenances as ypu looked at us when one of our number made a sad, bat laughable, mistake? Do you think we shall forget your sympathy in our disappointments? We shall not. Nei­ ther will the years to come blot out the many beautiful pictures we now ^ have with us. For instance, I do not think we shall ever forget Leon's infectious laughter, --yes, infectious as the measles; Co ra­ vel's "My, that's too bad!"; Lotah's height and laughing face as she said "Good morning!"; or Elsie's sudden v.. "Oh, yes, I see now!" Esther shall be remembered as a bright and prom' ising basket ball forward, whom, with ISdythe as center, we shall hope to see play the great game in McHenry's new gymnasium. And there, too, we hope to see Ethal, smiling at the fruit less attempts of her opponent to throw the ball into the basket. Lester, as you know, is to be the rival of Dr Holmes in writing poetry, while Julia shall illustrate his poems aa a very skillful artist should. Lucile will be an advocate of woman suffrage and support Agnes Conway when she runs for the presidency. Loren shall be an electrician and make the world happy by his great inventions. Lelah's "high : flown" language will recur to our minds whenever we have trouble in expressing our thoughts. Edwin will be a great political speaker, greatest rival of the "stump speaker" of our «faus. We shall all have occasion to wish we were as cool and self-possessed as Edna Phalin. Harry's very appro ^ priate nicknames, Hairbreadth and K„. Euchre Steve, are the bases oi his be- 10-.,;-S#g remembered by us. | j Now I wonder if I have forgotten ; -one of those seventeen jolly juniors. Yea, there is one more--a great, big SHthlete--Edward Nickels, whom we hope will gain fame in one of his two favorite amusements--writing humor- C 00s tales or fighting for the glory of bis team. 4^ v Dear juniors and other Tmder-gradu- ales, we realize that the time has come when we must part. Tonight we sever our school relationships. Hitherto onr work has been along the lines, thus our interests were united; henceforth our interests will be divid­ ed. .Nevertheless, we shall always take pleasure in the progress of dear old MeHenry high. Thus we, tonight, thanking you for all yoi» fr»ve done to lB»ke our school {days ple»»»at ones and wishing you bright and glorious futures, bid yon a fond farewell. The board of education, I wish to thank ysu for the services which you have rendered us during our school life. I wish to thank you for the in­ terest you have shown in our work, both in the school room and in the athletic field. It is to you that our thanks for the best of teachers must be given. We hope that in the future you will be able to do for those who come after us even more than you could do for us. We know, that you would have liked to do many things, such as enlarging the school building, erecting a gymnasium and otherwise increasing our pleasures as well as improving our mental and. .physical conditions, and "we Vli^nk you for these wishes, in addition to the actual work you have done for us, as we are here before you tonight prepared to bid you good-by. Dear teachers, whom we have been alternately annoying and pleasing for so many years, it is very hard to be­ lieve that we shall noionger have you to reprove, correct and encourage us. We dread the parting from you more than from our schoolmates, for we shall meet them occasionally, but, tho we do meet with and speak to you, we shall never stand in ^ the same close relationship as formerly. We are sad when we think that tonight we break away from your guiding hands and start out of school life into life's school. But we realize that sometime, some­ where, we must leave you and that the time has now come when we must bid you farewell. Parents and friends, you are to re­ ceive our thanks for the many sacri­ fices you have made in order that we might enjoy these four pleasant years in high school. We shall endeavor to thank you.-in the years to come by deeds as we follow our motto, "Im­ possible is Un-American." Classmates, can we part? Can we really say "good-by?" Yes, we can This parting, the separating of nine who have for four all-too-short years beexi united by ties seemingly impossi­ ble to be broken, is the hardest, the saddest part of our completing our high school education, but let us look for the silver lining of this cloud. On it I see painted in beautiful rainbow tints the word--memories. Indeed we shall remember our high school days as among our very pleasantest. We, now, have with us memories and a certain limited amount of knowl­ edge; we are prepared to go out into the world to seek experience, to earn our livings and to do all the good we can for our fellow men. Thus, know­ ing only indefinitely what we have and what we hope to gain, we, the senior class of 1913, leave our school and join the alumnae, never to meet again as a class. Wishing one another success in the battles of the future, we separate tonight with that oft spoken word- farewell.

Expert ho îse wiring.reasonable prices Ten years ago few tamers knew what a silo was and only a fimall num­ ber had ever seen a silo or fed silages to their live stock. Today the silo is as common as any barn building and just as necessary in economic dairy farming.-^&ft present nearly all farm­ ers know what silage is. They know that a silo is an air-tight structure used for the preservation of- green, coarse fodder in a succulent condition, and silage is the material taken out of a silo after necessary fermentations have taken place. The necessity bf such* food as silage is due to the fact that fthe digestive organs of animals that /chew the cud are so formed as to require juicy and bulky food. The nearest ideal food that can be obtained for/the dairy cow is good pasture, Tsufc^or more than six months in the ye£r green pasture is not available. As a substitute for uses during this period com silage and such roots as mangels and turnips, may be used. Corn yields an average of twice as much dry matter per acre as do root crops and requiree^considerably less labor, which makes it the more eco­ nomical feed. By making corn into silage the grain as well as the ag&lk is preserved in the best possible condition for feeding and without the extra expense of grinding. In feeding whole corn either in the ,r or shelled, many of the kernels are ot digested. With silage, the grain eaten with the roughage and nearly all the kernels are broken during mas­ tication, and. since they are quite soft, are praotically all digested. By the lue of the silo the corn is cut before the Reaves are dry enough to shatter and' there is no waste from weathering. Both stalk and grain are in good condition and vthe whole c is consumed by the stock; while with dry shock corn a large percentage of the leaves and butts of tnje stalk is wasted,. It has been determined that one cubic foot of hay in the mow contains about 4.3 pounds of dry matter; a cubic foot of silage contains 8.9 pounds of dry matter. From this it is evident that a cubic foot of space in a silo will hold twice as much dry matter as the cor­ responding space in a mow. It is also true that a larger amount of digestible feed can be obtained from an acre of silage than In any other way at like expense. At least 10 per cent of the food value of corn is lost under the best conditions of harvesting in the shock and under ordinary conditions the loss is from 25 to 35 per cent. The appearance of the fodder when the shock is opened is somewhat deceiving, as it may be green and fresh looking, but the loss is due to a decrease in weight not caused by evaporation of water. The foodmaterials are changed, due to the fermentations taking place in the juices of the stalk and decreas­ ing the amount of sugar and starch. Under the most unfavorable conditions the loss of dry matter in the silo need not exceed 5 per cent. / Altho corn silage is not a ooinplete and balanced ration in ltse|f,"flue to Its succulence, it is so well relished that large quantities are consumed. To ob­ tain the ' best results some dry -pough age, sueh as a legume hay, ^f&lfa or clover, should be fed" No crop furnishes more feed to the acre than corn and with the silo the whole crop can be utilized for feeding purposes. Tliree tons of silage are equivalent to one ton of hay for feed­ ing purposes. The succulence is worth a great deal and has a beneficial effect on the health of the cow, aa it acts as a mild laxative, ft makes it possible to feed more uniformly thruout the year and may be available at any time. Age does not cause a deterioration of its food value and it may be kept for several yews and be to perfect qpndi tion. Corn is the best crop to raise for the silo, altho clover, alfalfa, soy beans and cow peas may be used. The best re­ sults are obtained with a yariety of corn that will giye a good yield of grain in proportion to the stalk. The size of silo to build is of consid­ erable importance and depends upon the number of cattle to be fed and the length of time that silage is required. The most satisfactory results are ob­ tained by deeding silage thruout the year. The milk flow can be kept more regular and the cattle will remain in better flesh. The same acre of land will furnish more feed if put into corn and the corn fed in the form of silage than if allowed to remain in pasture. One and one-half acres of land in alfalfa and corn will furnish enough feed for a cow for one year. The same amount of land in blue grass pasture will support the same cow only sevens ty-eight days. For a herd of thirty cows two silos would give best results. One 23x30 for summer feeding and one 19*40 for winter feeding. y v .* c&mection to OMes^o were Fp* KINOWOOS C. W.
