A Good Word for the sIIo.

"a silo is merely convenience for
keeping green. fodder. Its function is
to preserve, not to create or to i'm
prove; and because 1t cannot do either
of the latter wonders some men say 1t
is of no use. They put into 1t corn
sown broadcast, which Is immature,
which is mainly water and greenness,
and then marvel that such ensilage
did not feed their cows as well as
clover hay. A silo does not regenerate
things; it merely preserves what Is put
in it. If man will put corn, when 1t
has well-formed ears, into a fairly
tight silo the silo will give back as
good as he gave it."-Professor Robert
son.

on the twig and burned, or the twig
itself cut on and burned with them,
that is an end Of that trouble.
But II any escape observation, and
the tents are seen, fasten swab to
long pole, wet II with kerosene, and
rub the swab through the nest until 1t
Is destroyed, which will kill every
caterpillar II touches. We have even
set the swab on fire and burned out
the nest and its occupants, and IL a
little care is taken this can be done
without injury to the branch. The
best time to attack the nests Is the
morning or evening, as the family are
all in the tent then, while In the mid
die of the day they are abroad feeding
upon the leaves.
Spraying with any OF the arsenites,
as is done for the canker worm, also
destroys the tent caterpillar, and those
who have large orchards will find this
the surest way of exterminating them.
They are even more fond Of the wild
cherry as breeding and feeding place
than of the apple, and while some
have advised the destruction of the
wild cherry for that reason, others are
better pleased to let the cherry trees
remain and destroy the caterpillars
there. The danger of this plan is that
many will not kill them on the cherry
trees, and one nest there may breed
moths enough to supply every tree in
the orchard with tents in its branches.
There is also a species which appears
in the fall, but they may be met in
the same way by spraying or with
kerosene swab.-American Cultivator.

Queer Survival Of a Word.

An instance of the survival of old
words i'm country districts has come
under notice at Beaconsfield. In a
tender to the Urban Council for public
lighting and douting' the lamps. The
word "dout" is regarded by etymolo-
gists as obsolete, although it was, in
olden times, used i'm the sense to
quenqh, being contraction Of do OUT
in the same way that "doff' and don"
are contractions of do off, and do
on" The word is used in Shakespeare
Hamlet, Act L.. Scene W.:
One dram Of base
Doth all the noble substance dout.
The word Is still in common use in
the villages of Buckinghamshire
amongst the laboring classes, but Ii is
rather unusual to find II i'm connection
with business transaction with pub
lie body.-London News.

.ADMIT WITHIN FIRE LINES"
An Extraordinary Motto for Reporters
Funeral Emblem.


In the Introduction to his story OF
''The Last of the Mulberry Street
Barons," in the Century, Jacob A. Riis,
author of "How the Other Half Lives"
tells rather grewsome but very anus
ing anecdote of a fellow-reporter at
tached to Police Headquarters in Null
berry street, New York City.
There had been feud Of long stand
ing between the reporters in Mulberry
street, and in consequence news was
plentiful. There were mutual scores
to be paid off, and we paid them off
in the coin Of the realm. The coin Of
Mulberry street was murder fire, and
sudden death I'VE had passed the stage
of boxing-gloves, and did not speak
as we passed by, and it went long
way. l do not mean, of course, that
we murdered or burned up one an
other, but these things were the
staples of our daily work as police re-
porters; and when we were ''out" the
precinct returns received an extra sift-
ing, with the result that many a grain
of newspaper wheat that would other
wise have escaped was rescued from
the dust-bin.
We had our specialties in this con-
test of wits. One was distinguished
as sleuth. He fed on detective mys-
teries as cat on chicken-bone. He
thought them out by day and dreamed
them out by night, to the great exas-
peration of the official detectives, with
whom their solution was a commercial,
not in the least an intellectual affair.
They solved them on the plane of the
proverbial lack of honor among
thieves, by the formula, You scratch
my back, and I'll stratch yours"
Another came out strong on fires. He
knew the history of every house in
town that ran any risk of being
burned; knew every fireman; and
could tell within thousand dollars,
more or less, what was the value of
the goods stored in any building in the
dry-goods district, and for how much
they were insured. If he couldn't, he
did anyhow, and his guesses often
came near the fact, as shown in the
final adjustment. He shifted firebug
from afar, and knew without asking
how much salvage there was in n bale
Of cotton after being twenty-four
hours in the fire. He is dead, poor
fellow. In life he was fond of joke,
and in death the joke chung to him in
n way wholly unforeseen. The firemen
in the next block, with whom he made
his headquarters when off duty, so
that he might always be within hear
ing of the gong, wished to give some
tangible evidence of their regard for
the old reporter, but, being in hurry,
left it to the florist, who knew him
well, to choose the design. He hit
upon floral fire-badge as the proper
thing, and thus it was that when the
company Of mourners was assembled,
and the funeral service in progress,
there arrived and was set upon the
coffin, in the view of all, that triumph
of the florists art, shield of white
roses, with this legend written across
it in red immortelles: admit within
fire lines only" 1t was shocking, but
irresistible. 1t brought down even the
house Of mourning.

Good Sense TAX About Health.

There Is, 1t is true, as great an ine-
quality in the Inheritance of health as
I'm the heFship of wealth or brains.
Some are born with fortune Of vigor
and soundness so large that not life
time Of eager squandering will leave
them poor, and others enter the world
paupers of need so dire that no char
ity from medicine can ever raise them
to comfort, but most Of us have just
that mediocre legacy of vitality which
renders us undistinguishable units in
the mass. 1t lies in the hands of each
to improve or waste that property as he
chooses. for there are self-made men
physically as well as financially; those
who. because of ancestral wasteful-
ness. have only sixpence of health,
and turn 1t into fortune; and there
are spendthrifts Of health who come
to as sorrowful case as spendthrifts OF
gold. The body Is a realm where wise
and frugal ruler brings happiness as
surely as n foolish one insures distress,
and wisdom here, as elsewhere, lies In
learning and obeying natural laws

An old lesson, but not well learned, is
to have good ventilation In the milk
room. Clean floors, as well as walls,
are also essential. If our milk pro-
ducers could act upon those two hints
and put them into practical effect the
reduction in milk complaints would be
surprising.
