Tha Caolr,s Cannonade.

The first thing that strikes lands
man on q man-of-war is the rigid
discipline observed everywhere. On
some Of the ships belonging to the
tropical countries, however, discipline
Is very lax.
The Defense, q Haitian man-of-war,
was lying in the harbor Of Port au
Prince. One day mess cook for
some reason cleaned about peck of
knives and forks on the gun deck, and,
being suddenly called away and not
wishing to spend time to so to the
galley, he seized the mess pot full of
knives and forks and stuck 1t In the
muzzle of the ten inch gun, putting the
hampton in after 1t.
About an hour afterward the admiral
came aboard, and as the gun was
loaded with blank cartridge they used
1t to fire a salute.
1t happened that the gun was aimed
toward the town, and almost point
blank at the Grand hotel. The guests
assembled on the porch to witness the
ceremonies, when they were saluted
with a rain Of knives and forks,
which stuck against the wooden walls
like quills on a porcupine.
Fortunately no one was hurt, al
though there were many narrow es-

All purchasers Of folding beds do not
buy them solely for the sake of saving
room. According to a manufacturer,
some people with ample house room at
command buy them, for one reason, SO
that the rooms In which they are placed
can be put to other uses than as bed
rooms.
This manufacturer mentioned one
New York family In whose house are
eleven fine folding beds. Any room in
the house designed for and equipped as
a sleeping room could easily be trans
formed from bedroom to one that had
no appearance of sleeping apartment
whatever.
There are produced nowadays folding
beds of one kind and another that are
sold at low prices, but the most costly
of the finer folding beds may easily De
pretty dear affairs.

orately designed and finished folding

AROuI ENSllAGE.

For about the fortieth time in our own
personal experience, great drouth has
dried up the sources of profit of nine
out of ten of the dairy farmers of the
land. The milk flow has shrunk at
nearly every creamery and cheese fac
tory from 40 to go per cent.
Think of what fearful loss that is.
Yet it could have been easily and mex
pensively avoided. These same farmers
have been punished in just the same
manner score of times before, yet the
smart of the lash has been forgotten and
it will be again. Thousands of farmers
who depend so much on pasture will
have to sell large portion of their
cows, for not only is pasturage dried up
but so is hay, corn and other forage.
Butter bids fair to bring in a good
price, but these farmers will have no
milk of any consequence to make butter
from, and so the lesson comes year after
year and they learn nothing from it.
1t is the strangest thing on earth.
There is not another class of men in ex-
istence that would take such continued
slaps in the face year after year without
learning something from it; how to help
themselves when the day of trouble
cometh.
All that was required was that they
should have built silo last year big
enough to furnish say four tons of en-
silage for every COW during the winter,
with enough left over to make ton or
ton and a half for this period of drouth
in the summer, which is sure to come.
1t is simple thing to do; it is compare
lively fact in support of the statement.
Last year we built new silO which held
200 tons of ensilage. 1t was filled to the
top and this last spring we had about 80
tons left over, as we had calculated.
Along comes the hot, scorching wind
and drouth, and in weeks time the
pastures were turned as brown as a
berry. The cows could not get succu-
culent grain to make milk of, so they
commenced to shrink in their milk flow.
Then the ensilage was uncovered and
they were given good feed of it
night and morning. The milk flow came
up at once and has continued clear
up to grade all through the month
of July. Our pasture was one of the
very best in the state, but good as it was
there was no longer good flow of milk
in the grass. This ensilage supplied the
deficiency of juicy, good food. How
simple it was. Yet simple as it is, there
are hundreds of farmers in this our
home county, who have lost thousands
of dollars by the drouth, and are not
yet punished enough. They expect to
keep right along in the dairy business
for years, and yet they cannot see that
silo is as necessary as barn to meet the
contingencies of climate for their profit.
They are so completely stuck on the
idea of pasturage, that they will hang to
it when it has become worthless. But
there are few, who, having eyes, can
see, and they say that not another sum
mer rolls over their heads without en-
silage to meet this ever sure drouth.-

RAISING FALL PIGS,

In my opinion the best method of rails
ing fall pigs for profit and the best re-
suits is to have them farrowed in the
latter part of August or first part of
September. BY so doing the pigs will
get the age and growth on them before
cold weather sets in, and will then be
large and strong enough to keep on
growing and make good pigs with proper
care and feeding. 1t is essential that
they should have warm, dry place to
sleep in, free from draughts.
The SOW should be fed on shorts and
soaked oats, with quart of oilmeal in a
barrel of slop. Do not feed fall pig
very much corn until after he is six
months old. As general thing, there is
too much corn fed to young pigs, and !
believe this is the cause of 80 many of
them getting down on their feet. Corn
always causes indigestion among pigs.
II they are early farrowed and kept
growing they will prove profitable in
vestment.-W. r. Loveless in American
Swineherd.

slLAee FOR BEEF CATTLE.

If the silage has been found desir-
able and profitable feed for dairy cattle,
is there any reason why it should not be
suited for beef cattle? None at all. The
silo has not been used by beef producers
from indifference, lack of progress, etc.
Essentially no evidence of Importance
has been brought forward to show that
ensilage is undesirable for beef cattle.
A number of times during the last
dozen years i have found it necessary to
employ stockmen for Purdue University
that were especially skilled as feeders.
In every instance these men, prior to
coming to Purdue, had had no expert
ence in feeding silage to beef cattle, and
yet, as recall it, every one of these
feeders has learned to appreciate and
value silage as a food for the beef cattle,
and some of these men have said they
would not like to feed again without it.
And these were men raised in the beef
feeding camp.
In 1892 the writer conducted an ex-
pertinent at the Indiana station, feeding
eight steers of the Shorthorn type, not
pure bred. These steers were divided
into two lots of four each, and one lot
was fed corn silage and the other clover
hay. The experiment was brief, being
only for six weeks, but during these
forty-two days the steers fed ensilage
gained 297 pounds, or an average of 1.75
pounds head each day, while those
given clover hay gained 2S4 pounds, or
an average of 2-5 pounds head day.
Each lot ate the same amount and kind
of grain, the difference being in the
coarse foods. A study of the cost OF
foods and the gains in weight, showed
that silage fed steers In forty-two days
gave profit of 5000, while those fed
clover hay gave profit Of sl6.76, bal
ance in favor of the silage lot OF s2.50.-

"Indeed? What Is it?"
"Why are my clothes like the moon"
