silage. Its heavy. yield. richness in
protein and soil renovating qualities
will command the attention of all pro-
gressive agriculturists. Clover, with
the possible exception of alfalfa, can
probably be grown and placed in the
silo at lower cost than any other for
age crop.
Vetch is another valuable legume. 1t
will thrive in greater variety of soils
than clover and can be sown as a catch
crop either in the spring or fall. 1t is
very palatable to stock and about equal
with clover in nutritive principles and
adaptability for silage.
Alfalfa Is also a good silage crop.
This plant under favorable conditions
will yield crop representing perhaps
a greater value per acre than any other
forage crop grown. With the silo this
crop can be made of inestimable value
to the dairying and stock growing in
dustry in semiarid sections.
Field peas make good silage crop.
They are rich in protein. but stock do
not relish them quite so we'll as clover
and alfalfa. Some unsatisfactory re-
suits have followed attempts to ensilo
peas and vetch when grown with
grain. While the grain will materially
aid in holding the vetch and pea up,
thus facilitating the harvesting of the
crop. too large proportion of grain is
undesirable when the crop is to be en-
sliced. The hollow stems of the grain
carry more or less air into the silo,
Which is thought to accelerate fer
mentation and consequent deteriora-
ton of the silage.
The best forage plants for silage are
generally those with solid stems and
which carry over 20 per cent Of solid
matter In their physical structure.
Very succulent plants, such as cab
bage, rape and immature corn, clover,
alfalfa or vetch, when carrying much
less than 30 per cent of solid matter,
are unsuited for silage. ..... T.

The problem of sweet and sour silage

some siiage is exceedingly sour is a
we'll known fact, but the cause of this
condition Is not well known. Results
from experiments seem to in
dicate that there are at least two con-
ditions which favor the development
of organic acids in silage-i e., imma-
turity Of the plants and extreme COM
pactness of the silage. A good ex-
ample Of the former is shown in imma-

C., a member of an old Virginia fam iIy He is a man of high professional attainments, but of testy and irritable temper, says the Chicago Tribune. His next-door neighbor is retired major. noted for the eccentricity of his habits. Between the two there has always ex- isted anything but friendly feeling, and they are continually doing all in their power to annoy and harass each other. One night recently during serious storm the majors chimney was blown down. Crash went the bricks through the roof of the judges house, and thence down through floor after floor, carrying havoc in their course.
 The man of law was in no good hu- nor as he contemplated the destruc- ton and what made matters worse it was the majors chimney which had occasioned the wreck. His mind was actively engaged in devising some process by which he could get satisfac- tion from his arch enemy, when a note arrived from the latter, couched in the following language: "Send me back my bricks immediately, or I will put the matter into the hands of an attor- ney."

HOMES FOR WORKERS
KenosIia Cvvis.) Manufacturers Ado Q Novel Plan to Attract Factory
 Men to Their City.

 Proft-sharing on a novel basis is to be given a trial by 12 of the lead ing industrial plants in Kenosha, Wis.,, as the managers of the plants have formed cooperative associa- tion for the purpose of bringing in laborers and to make the city a model manufacturing town. The plan is to purchase large tract of land on which will be built homes for 1000 laborers. These homes will be sold to the men at the actual cost of building. They will be located near the factory district, and fitted with all modern conveniences. In order to encourage matrimony among the workmen these houses will be sold or rented, and in the latter case the rent paid will apply on the purchase price of the house. To further the plan a large clearinghouse will be erected to accommodate several hundred workmen, at which it will be possible to secure board and rooms at low rates. One thousand men are now needed for the factories in Kenosha, and this unique plan has been hit upon to draw people to the cifv.

TOLD BY A SHERIFF.
Stories of His Experiences with
 Men of Evil Deeds.
IndennabIe Something i'm a Crooks Manner Disting gufshes Him from Other Men-Thief Deposits
 His Spells.

A group of men sat in front of Louisville hotel one hot night last week relating experiences. Among the star story-tellers were Dr. Albert D. Simpson, sheriff at Anderson, Mad title of doctor was worn by Sheriff Simpson while living in Louisville, Ky, where he practiced medicine for ten years before entering this par ticular branch of the public service in Indiana.
 People wonder how criminals are so easily recognized in strange cities and picked up by the police and de- tectives,' said he to a Courier-Jour- nal reporter, but an experienced of ficer can tell crook anywhere. There is an indefinable something in crooks manner and appearance that at once identifies the class. About six months ago l had occasion to go over' to Richmond, Ind, and had no sooner walked in the door of the hotel there than I saw sitting in the office several men whose appearance immediately aroused my suspicious. One fellow had his hat pulled down over his eyes, and as I passed he looked up at me with a rolling glance that confirmed my first impressions.
 '.Without taking time to register I went out again and around the cor ner, where I telephoned to the police station to send four men up there at once. They came in a few minutes and I stationed one at each door of the hotel. Two windows remained unprotected, and I sent for two more men. When they were quietly put on watch the other four and myself en- tered the hotel from each door and corralled those fellows in corner of the office as sleek as you please. They were so surprised they couldn't say word and not a man drew a

 'I'm his manl"
 ''You?"
 CT believe there is something in it. 5 Death, most lilxely.' 'sYou will send that fellow Manual to me to-night?''
 ''See here, Cranmere, this is the craziest scheme ever started. That lake is a hundred fathoms- deep and covers a hundred square miles," '.He was a pearl fisher," Cranmere continued, without noticing his friends interruption, "and I dare say still has his diving rig. We would need a boat, but that can be managed. It is no use kicking, Ford. I'm going to give this thing a trial. I tell you, man, rather than ask that little girl to wait an other six months for me I'd go to the internal regions if there was a chance of making enough by the trip to get married on."
 Ford's jaws snapped upon vigorous protest. He could write to Lucy to- night. A beastly two weeks, but when he came back everybody would be talking oil.
 ''There is Manual now. I'll send him to you," he muttered. "Good luck, old man."
 They shook hands warmly, and the next day it was reported that Corporal Cranmere had gone to a neighboring village to spend his furlough.
 Ford, writing to his sweetheart cer- tain passages to be read aloud, drew vivid description of the desperate undertaking. ''He told me once," he concluded, "that for the sake of get ting enough together to be married on he would cheerfully make trip to hades. We'll, he has struck some thing worse than hades this trip. Whoever his girl is, she must be al- most as lovable as somebody else he's awfully gone on her. Poor fel- low, I hope he will come back alive, now that his land promises so well.
 "And I hope" he muttered, as he posted the letter, "that she will be so scared and miserable for the next six weeks she'll learn some sense. I've no patience with girl that can't be satisfied when man has told her that he loves her. Histrionics be hanged. I'm glad Lucy doesn't go in for that sort of thing, dear, sensible little soul that she is"
 This was how it happened that when Corporal Cranmere, none the worse for his wild goose chase to Lake Bombon and the long homeward voyage that had followed close upon it, dashed into the private parlor of a San Francisco hotel and found worn-looking girl with big eyes and white cheeks, who had no high-hown proffers of freedom to make. Only an eager whisper that she was glad, so glad he had not been killed in that horrid volcano.
 'sNever mind, sweetheart" he said, soothingly, ''the Philippines are not so bad. But Texas is the place for us. Isn't it?"
 'Wherever you are, dear boy" she answered, contentedly.

 Scenes of sorrow as we'll as ex- citement come to every sheriff, how ever," continued the speaker. Not long since l took to the penitentiary an old man.. gray-haired and feeble, who had been sentenced for receiving stolen goods. He had two beautiful daughters. They went to the train to tell him good-by,, and I never saw such an affecting scene. Parting at the bedside oi death would have been less terrible. He wept all the way to the 'pen,' and when the gates of the prison closed behind him, all hope of further happiness on this earth seemed to leave his heart and he broke down completely.
 About the strangest case that ever came to my notice was that of a young man who stole $2, 500 and plant ing up in prison and coming out that much to the good. This fellow took the money from grocery in broad daylight, and was arrested few hours later without resistance. At the trial he pleaded guilty, declined to accept the services Of a lawyer, also refused to tell where he had hid the money and was sentenced to inn prisonment for four years. As was taking him down to the train he asked me if I would go with him to certain street He requested it as favor and I did so. Arriving at a shady spot of a somewhat unfre- quented street, he stopped down and pulled up loose brick in the pave ment, under which was the $2, 800 in paper money, just as it had come out of the bank.
 What are you going to do with that? I asked, my first thought be- ing that he intended to return it to the man from whom he had stolen it. Of course I had no authority in the matter, for the reason that the money was his own and sentence had been passed upon him. We'll, sir, that fellow insisted on my going to the bank with him, and there he depos- ited the $2,8OO, where it remains to this day, drawing interest and wait ing his pleasure when he~shall have served sentence and be free to enjoy the profits of his prison term. Such cases are not uncommon"
