SILO A MONEY MAKER.
Reasons For Its Uso by AH Interested
In Every Form of Live Stock.
No other subject is receiving so much
attention from the experiment stations,
farm papers and farmers Institutes aa
tho slk. All tho great industries de
pending on live stock arc advocating
Its use.
It is a conservation subject of great
Importance, for with it can bo saved
a largo part of our principal crop.
Nearly 40 per cent of tho food ele
ments of the corn crop of this country
Is now wasted. By tho ueo of the silo
this could be saved, and by so doing
hundreds of millions of dollars could
be added to our national wealth.
In the past eleven years the great
stock Industry of the United States.
In comparison with our population, has
been showing a decline. This condition
FEEDING ENSHjAQE.
has been brought about largely by tho
riso in price of all kinds of stock foods.
This in turn has driven many men out
of tho stock business and discouraged
others from going in. With the silo
tho cost of producing stock and stock
products can bo greatly lowered. Ex
periment have shown that by the use
of the silo in place of the old feeding
methods buttor can bo produced from
0 to 10 cents per pound cheaper and a
saving made on the production of beef
of from $1.50 to ?2 per hundred pounds.
Silage, or ensilage, can bo made from
nearly all kinds of farm forago and is
a good and cheap ration for horses,
cattle, sheep, swine and chickens. It
requires Httlo storage space, Is a labor
saving dovlco, doubles the value of the
corn crop, triples tho stock carrying
capacity of the land, restores the fer
tility of the soil and returns its user
annually 100 per cent on tho invest

FINE WAY TO SAVE.
Each farmer should write to
the stato experiment station and
secure tho proper fertilizer for
mula for whatever crop ho de
sires to grow and mix his plant
food indoors on rainy days at a
great saving to his poeketbook
and soli. Conservation moans
saving, preserving, and every
dollar which the farmer pays out
for tho middlemen's profits for
wages nnd for freight must
eventually come out of tho soil.

"The Lowing of the Kine."
The dairy cow should not bo required
to drink water that a person would be
unwilling to drink himself.
A good tank heater for the cows'
drinking water and a sheltered place
for tbo tank savo feed and make more
milk.
After tho first week of sleeping and
resting tho young calf should bo al
lowed to exercise freely in tho open
air in order to develop muscles, lungs
and heart.
A concrete floor is tho only kind that
will insuro perfect drainago for tho
cbceso making room. It will also help
to keep tho curing room cool In hot
weather and warm in cold weather.
Bo careful about feeding beet tops to
tho cattlo. Heavy feeding of this ma
terial is somewhat dangorous, as it
tends to purgo animals. Feed in lim
ited quantities and with other foods.
Probably no single causo tends more
to chock milk secretion than tbo fail
ure to removo all tho milk at tho time
of milking, says Hoard's Dairyman.
Tho presence of even a littlo milk in
the ducts may act as a powerful check
on the secretion of fresh milk.

tUCKY BEAN SAVED SAILOR
Provldenoo Placed Talisman In HI
Hand Whw Ha Was Thrown Un
oonsclout Among Cannibal.
Of all tho many mysterious pro
ducts of tho ocean, none can compare
with tho ilea bean. Scientists are
divided as to its origin, as no one has
evor seen the shrub or vine on which
It grows, and it Is never found save
when the bosom of tho deep has been
rent by a hard storm, when tho sea
beans, cast forth from some mysteri
ous depth are found scattered along
the beach, derelicts of tho tldo. Thoro
are numerous varieties, large and
small, and some aro very rare, espe
cially the large, Hvor boan, tnd the
banded bean. The savago tribes
which Inhabit the South Seas regard
them as almost sacred, and look upon
the luoky possessor of one of the rare
varieties as particularly favored by
the code. Dusky belles, having In
their pownesslon theso rare product
of the deep, will fight for their treas
ure against all comors, as tnor eellere
that the sea bean gives them unusual
power, especially in love, and that
any man on whom their affections are
set, must yield to their charms if they
but touch him with the lucky bean.
One ' touch of the bean binds their
lover to them forover.
Mr. Leak, manager of the North ol
Bay Counties Exhibit Cars from Cal
ifornia, is the fortunate possossor of
a rare specimen, which has a thrilling
history, which would seem to prove,
the superstition of tho savages of the
South Sea Islands. It was given to
hirn by a sailor friend, who was
wrecked in a mighty storm which,
swept tho tropical seas. The sailor,
unconscious ana nearly dead, was
washed aisboro on an island, and when
he recovered his senses he found him
self surrounded by a crowd of cavags
men and women. They were canni
bals, and his fate would undoubtedly
have been a horrible one, but sud
denly a native saw grasped in the
sailor's hand, one of tho rarest of tho
Bea beans. Whore it came from and
how it happened that he held it when
he was cast upon the beach ho never
knew, but the superstitious natives
looked upon him as one especially
protected by tho gods, and tho bean
proved to him a lucky one indeed, for
it undoubtedly saved him from a ter
rible fate. Some years ago Mr. Leak
befriended this old sailor in San Fran
cisco, and as a reward this lucky bean
was presented to him, and he values
highly. "I am not superstitious."

HOW TO MAKE CANNA BEDS.
Do Not Plant For Many Varieties or
Colors.
As cannas aro subtropical plants they
thrive only in warm weather and
should bo planted only when the season
is well advanced. May 20 to June 15 is
best for tho territory between latitudes
40. and 45. Tho plants aro deep rooted,
therefore the bed should bo dug deep.
It also is important to provide plenty
of plant food. Threo inches of well
rotted manure spaded into tho soil Is
not too much. Do not elevate tho cen
ter of tho bed, but leave love! so water
will not run off.
If tho bod is to contain several va
rieties of cannas much caro should be
given to tho selection of tho varieties,
If tho bed is to bo viewed from all
sides put tho taller varieties in tho ceri'
tor and uso tho shorter kinds for tho
border rows. Your florist can givo ad
vice about the varieties best suited for
tho purpose.
Do not plant too many varieties. Un
lees it is an exceptionally largo bed two
or throo will bo better than more. For
small beds a dozen to eighteen plants
aro enough. It is good tasto to use
somo other plant for a border. If tall
growing cannas aro used tlie fountain
crass la unsurpassed, and for dwurf
kinds such plants as coleus, dwarf sal
vias and dusty miller nro serviceable.
How to Walk Correctly.
To attain correct carriage ono must
walk erectly, and to achieve this there
Is nothing better than trying to walk
with a book or similar article on the
head.
This is euro to keep ono from dovel
oping tho swaying of tho body more
to tho ono sldo than tho other.
Stays that force tho opposite of this
rulo should bo discarded and destroyed.
for they aro not fit to wear. If they
work against tbo croctness of tho car
rlago they aro really a menace to the
health.
Throw out your chest. Better
to
havo poopio say that you nro 60 straight
you appear to bo falling over back
ward than to bo round shouldered in
appearance, if not in fact
How to Make 8aeh Curtains.
A most attractive sash curtain may
be made of linen, but it must be of
rather a sheer quality. Japaneso grass
cloth or Bohemian linen is best to uso,
If tho eyelet embroidery Is combined
with either fillet or cluny Insertion the
effect will be very handsome.
Tbo sides and bottom may havo
very narrow edging of tho lace or they
may bo French hemmed and tbo hot'
torn trimmed with a tassel edging.
How to Keep Water Cold.
To koop loo water cold a long time
with little loo when weather is hot
try this: Take a pitcher of loo and wn
ter and sec In middle of a newspaper.
Gather tho four cornera at tho top,
bring tho edges together with a strong
rubber bond and exclude tbo air. It
will koop all night with little melting
of the Ice.
