Feeding siiage

+. Fl. King, excellene authority on
such matters, advises in feeding silage
to always feed from the top. He says
1t is a common mistake to have the feed
ing surface of the silage too large and
under these conditions the silage has
time to heat and spoil to some extent.
All heating Of silage is at the expense of
feeding value, and in good silos, after
the first heating, the silage cools and re-
mains cold to the touch for an indefinite
time unless again exposed to the air for
some days, Silage should be fed after
milking. Almost any substance possess
ing an odor at all marked has a tenden-
cy, when fed to the COW just before
milking, to have it excreted with the
milk at the time of milking. If, how
ever, turnips or silage, etc, are fed aft
er milking, then the odors have time to
escape from the blood of the COW,
through the lungs, kidneys and skin, be-
fore it is again time to milk, and the
milk will not be tainted.

PARIS READY FOR a SIEGE.

Food Already in Storage Sufficient to Feed
the Population Many Months.
Taking into account the remarkable
advances that science has made in the
way of preserving and COMPRISING food
so that 1t can be stored in an infinitely
small space in proportion to its nutrl-
ment, it is not likely that any besieged
city in the future Will undergo the hor-
rors of starvation. Paris has learned
q substantial lesson from the experience
she had in 1870 and 1871, when the Ger
man invaders completely surrounded the
city and prevented any food whatsoever
from going in.
If, in fact, an attack should come at a
moments notice, the Parisians would
now find themselves well supplied and
with everything in their warehouses neces-
sary to support life for an indefinite
time. The war department has made
the accumulation of an enormous stock
of provisions its especial hobby. Not
only meat, four biscuits, preserved
vegetables and solid soups are stored
away in the government magazines,
but also milk, 'Pasteurized, ard pc
troleum, wood, chemicals and coal
Even the horses have been kept in mind
for there are packed away great stocks
of compressed fodder and grass pre-
served by tie silossystem.
That all these supplies can be kept
OH uduU III Lie comparatively Slidll
space the war department has for the
storing of provisions is not SO remark
able when it is remembered that 10000
rations Of preserved vegetables can be
stored in a space measuring forty inches
each way. Milk, the scarcity of which
was a grave cause of distress during
the siege Of Paris, is now we'll provided
for. DR.. Autefage's method Of Pas
teurizing'' milk, which the government
has adopted, will preserve this impor-
tant necessity of life for almost any
length of time, rendering it pure and
sweet after months and even years.
BY new chemical methods ice can be
dispensed with in the storage rooms,
and by the use of ammonia machines
it can be readily made for household
and garrison use. This is extremely i'm
portant as regards preserving meat. One
special feature of the policy of the war
department is that it has all Of its ar
engagements perfected towards immedi-
ateIy collecting, in the case Of impend-
ing danger, hundreds of thousands Of
carcasses of beef and mutton and hun
dreds of thousands of fowls. In q few
hours, almost, the city could be substan-
TALLY provisioned for nearly 4 year in
this regard. Besides this, scores Of
thousands Of cans of preserved meats
are kept continually on hand.-NeW

A Stylish Dresser.

Even our own Berry Wall in his palmi-
est days could not hope to rival the Ger
man Emperor in wealth of attire. No
other crowned head has ever been the
possessor of so many suits of clothes as
William II. The number runs we'll up
into the hundreds and includes all sorts
of uniforms, not only those of Prussia
and the other German states, but also
of Italy, Austria, England, Russia,
Sweden, Denmark, Holland and Bel
GUM. Every color and every style inn
aCinable can be found in the Emperor's
wardrobe, and such an abundance is
there that his imperial majesty, like
Miss Flora McFlimsey, often feels as
if he had nothing to wear" The fol-
lowing anecdote conc erning the Emperor
and his departure from an established
custom of wearing the uniform of the
regiment with which he dined is going
the rounds: Some little time ago his
majesty was invited by the officers Of
the Alexander guards to their mess, and
they were not little surprised to see
him arrive in the uniform of an admiral.
At table he asked if anyone knew why
he had donned a naval uniform, but for
a time nobody seemed to be able to give
an answer. At last voice was heard
at the bottom of the table. It was that
of the youngest subaltern, who Glove the
general silence thus: Your majesty is
probably going. to visit the aquarium

to have laughed as heartily as anyone

Tack Catcher for Tires.

An Indianapolis genius has invented
a contrivance which he calls a tack
catcher for bicycles. When a pneumatic
tire picks up tack the tack does not
penetrate very deeply at first, but is
forced further into the fabric with
every revolution of the wheel, until the
inner tube is punctured. The device of
the indianapolis man to prevent this
consists of a curved, comb-like piece of
metal armed with pointed teeth and
extending backward from the forks of
the machine, close to the surface Of the
tire. These teeth are intended to engage
with the tack as soon as it enters the
tire and extract it. 1T rst.v

A Few Facts About Them Which Are
Worthy of Being Jotted Down.
The ordinary-siZed lead pencil, such as
one gets when he goes into store and
asks for "a lead pencil" is seven inches
in length and a trife more than quar-
ter of an inch thick. Pencils are made
in many different styles and shapes and
for many special uses. Special pencils
of very small diameter are made for
mathematical instruments. Another
small diameter pencil is the programme
pencil made for dancing orders, Of which
the sale in this country is estimated at
5000 gross annually. Programme pcn-
ellis are made round and hexagon in
shape and finished in variety of colors
and styles; some are wound with silk.
Programme pencils are cold sharpened
and with ring and cord and a tassel
attached ready FOR nse. Other small
pencils made are those used for tab
lets and memorandum books. Checking
pencils, with red, blue and green cray
ons. are now used quite extensively IN
commercial establishments and in almost
every office. Thousands Of gross OF

the sale of them is constantly increasing.

4 Touching Sight.

In the western part of Massachusetts
a man had fine stock farm. But a
few weeks ago a fire broke out in the
barn, and burned not only the building
and the hay, but most of the animals
also. After the fire the owner walked
over the ruins. It was sad sight to
see the charred bodies Of his fine Jersey
cows and his high-spirited horses. But
at the end of the barn he saw a sight
which touched him more than the rest.
There sat an old black hen. He won
dered that she did not move her head to
look at him as he came near but he
thought she must be asleep. He poked
her with his cane. and to his surprise
the wing he touched fell into ashes
Then he knew she had been burned to
death. But out from under her wing
came faint peep. and pushing her aside
with his cane the man found-What do
you think? ten little live yellow chickens
The poor her had sacrificed her own life
to save them. That sight touched the
man more than anything else.-The

AMERICAN GRINDsTONEs.
New Quarry Which will Break Up Euro
pean Monopoly.

A discovery has been made in South
Dakota which will give employment to
thousands of people in the United States
and keep in this country many millions
of dollars. The new industry is that OF
making the finer grades of grindstones,
which have hitherto been imported from
England. Bavaria and France. Quarries
Of stone have been recently found which
supply stone equal to the finest grade
imported Specimens of the grindstones
have been submitted to all the we'll
known experts, who have agreed that no
better grade Of stone is in existence.
For the higher class Of grinding such as
fine cutlery, razors, surgical instruments,
ETC., a stone is required which will cut
quickly so as not to take the temper out
of the steel This is work for which the
new stone is peculiarly fitted. Some beds
of the stone are SO hard as to supply
the place of emery wheels. One firm of
machinists in New England has given or
ders to their London agent not to buy any
more grindstones. They consider that
the American stone is perfectly adapted
to their needs.
The supply is practically inexhaustible.
At present the stone is no cheaper than
the imported article, even with the 10
per cent duty added.-NeW York World.

wife and mother assailed as an undomes-
tic and unwomanly creature it makes
me rather indignant. Taken as class,
there are no better mothers than the
American ones-none better. at least. to
their offspring in infancy and childhood.
In older years, perhaps, the girls OF
America are allowed too much freedom,
and do not make the confidantes OF their
mothers that girls do in foreign countries,
but the American mother takes more per.
sonal care Of her children than her Tor,
eign sister.
The English woman, for instance, has a
wet nurse for her babies. When they
can walk and talk they are turned over
to another nurse-after that to a govern
ess. The nursery is generally on the top
floor, away from the mothers apart
ments, and the lady visits it in the morn
ing, and in the evening the children are
dressed and allowed to have dessert at
the family table.-Maude Andrews Let
