not he Made = Success Any
where Nowadays.

Those who raise ensilage-fed herds
Invariably have decided advantage
over the farmer who confines his atten-
ton entirely to dry fodder and grain.
But on the other hand, there are farm
ers who do not make the ensilage sue
cess because of lack of proper study OF
economy in feeding or generally poor
management of the whole dairy farm.
The comparison of such man with q
first-class dairyman who believed in dry
fodder and grain is not fair. There are
plenty Of good farmers to-day making
q success with herds that are fed en-
tirely on dry fodder, cornmeal, bran
snd similar grains. They are too con.
sentative to take up the silo, or they are
willing to let well enough alone. But
because they make q success in their
present work it does not follow that
they would not make even more profits
by adopting the silo. Let such progress
sive farmers give the silo all the care
and attention they give to their present
system of feeding, and if they fail they
might be justified in casting discredit
upon the silo.
1t is practical to raise all the ensilage
needed for feeding a dairy herd Of al
most any size, and then if the silo il
properly filled the results will be more
than satisfactory. We are certainly
coming to the time when every dairy
farm of 20 or more COWS will have its
silo, and it will be an exception to the
rule not to find one on farm. 1t is ON
par with our present systems of cold
storage for preserving food in the
cities for the human race. We find that
this not only adds to the pleasures OF
eating, but it improves the health of the
nation to have green things right
through the winter and summer
months. We should in the same way
consider the cows on whose health and
good flow of milk so many of us are de.
pendent. Winter dairying can never be
carried on as it should until the silo is
built and filled. Now is the time to con.
slider and prepare for next winter ii
the herd is expected to give the results
deSsred. There is no easier way to in.
crease the winter supply of milk than
to have and feed plenty of ensilage.-E.

saIted Down olive ve.I.-

A jefferson county farmer hired a
very inexperienced boy of the reforma-
tory to help around the place. One
morning he told the lad to go and salt
the calf in the pasture. The boy took
about quart of salt, rubbing it all over
the calf, working it into the hair. A
gang of colts in the pasture scented the
salt and got after the calf. They licked
the hair all off the calls back, and tried
to lick the hide of, too. The farmer
tried to catch the calf and wash it on,
but the creature, thinking he wanted to
lick. too. kept out of the way. The boy,
calf and farmer are all unhappy. The
colts are the only ones that get any fun
out of it.-Denver Field and Farm.

1t is often great Inconvenience when
it is found that grown cow cannot be
led, but must be driven. The accom-
plishment is one that should always he
acquired in calfhood, and once learned,
it will never be forgotten. If there il
any pulling back while the calf is being
taught its first lesson, some one behind
to urge it forward will be needed, and
may be turn of the rope around the
animals nose, SO as to make q halter

GRAFTON TO WITHDRAW.
Upton's Protest Was Not in
Keeping With Graf
toms Views.

Grafton. May 4.-The Franklin Ma
sonic Lodge, A. F. and A. NJ, will hold
a regular meeting tomorrow and adopt
resolutions on the death of the late AL
bert Byron Carpenter.
The ball game between the repre-
sentative teams of the G. H. S. and
w. H. S. was declared off this after
noon. Mr.. Fargo of the Upton team
insisted that the local boys should not
play Fletcher, the third baseman, on
the ground that he, being a post-grad-
uate, was not properly entitled to a po-
sition on the ball nine
The local boys see it in a different
light and will not agree to replace
Fletcher. The high school boys have
from the beginning of the league form
alton, felt presentment of trouble and
as it has been exposed before even the
first game, Grafton will in all probable
ity withdraw from the interscholastic
league of which Grafton, Upton, Mil
ford and Whitinsville are members.
Grafton's hopes of ever having a local
circuit telephone have evidently been
blasted. as the company which was
granted a franchise early last fall has
refused to abide by the terms of the
franchise
Grafton checker enthusiasts will play
at the home of Mr.. Elliot in Worcester
Saturday evening, with Worcester
checker sharps, as follows: Kirby Ell
hot Fletcher-Shea, Putnam Dennison,
Newton Costello.
