We must be economical in that fluctuating commodity called "feed." Thousands and tens of thousands of farmers have taken advantage of the use of eilage. Our ensilsge machin cry has been oper ated by these men with the most satisfactory results Many moro who have not yet used silage have appreciated the great waste of coarse folders which is en- tailed by feeding in the whole state. A conservative estimate places the loss in feeding value of corn fodder at from 50 to to per cent, when it is left standing in the field during the winter and fed out whole. By the proper preparation and handling of your corn fodder you can keep double the number of animals you are now able to feed.
 We offer you Cutters, Cutters and Shredders or Shredders alone. You have } our choice.

Grand Duke AIoxIs Has a Favorlte
pish, 90 Thoy Gay.
Grand Duke Alexis Of Russia is
very fond Of fried potatoes. and dur
Ing his recent visit to Paris he was
wont to buy a few every day from q
woman in the street and to eat them
beside her stall
as he paid her In princely fashion.
she was very anxious to find out who
he was.
81 can tell you who he is,' said a
neighbor one day. ''He Ia Grand
Duke Alexis. uncle of the czar and
one of the greatest men In Russia" j."
Utterly amazed, the woman asked:
"In heavens name, how should I ad-
dress him?"
"Oh, call him Your Exceilency,' or
Your Royal Highness," was the an.
swer.
The woman resolved 10 DO so, and
the next day, as she was sprinkling
some salt over the smoking potatoes
which tho grand duke had bought,
she said: II can recommend them to
your royal hignness. for I know your
excellency has never tasted better
potatoes"
The grand duke burst out laughing,
and paid more for the potatoes than
he had ever paid before. but he was
annoyed at finding himself recognized
and never returned to buy another
potato.

No trouble to Help search.

A woman stopped at cloth coun-

stores recently and asked to be shown
some dress patterns suitable for early
autumn wear. The salesman began
on the lowest rows of shelved COM
partments and pulled out and opened
box after box until the counter on
either side Of him was piled as high
as his head with goods. Three
times he climbed ladder to the up
per rows and staggered down under
weight of box patterns until, when
he took survey of the shelves. but
two patterns remained unopened.
Then she said, very sweetly:
Il don't think I'll buy any today.
Pm sorry to have troubled you; but
you see I only came in to look for

replied politely. Indeed, II you

The HsttIer's Skin sweats Whom o
Storm is Approaching.


1T is going to rain within six
hours" said the man, with provoking
deliberations. The sun was shining
brightly and only a. few floating
clouds broke the clear blue OF the
broad sky. "Rain,'' said the other
derisively. "and out of that sky?
You're a pessimist. You always carry
an umbrella"
III bet you a good dinner that II
will rain within six hours" the first
speaker replied, with imperturbable
good nature and gravity. The bet
was made, and the dinner was paid
for by the man who doubted. Il
rained in less than four hours.
Now. II you viii come around to
my room will show yon how | know
1t was going to rain" said the
prophet. who was with honor In his
own country. So there they went.
Now. the prophet was an original sort
OF chap, and had fastened upon the
walls Of his room many strange
things OF the sea and forest and field.
On the floor were flung skins OF bear
and deer and mountain lion, and on
the wall near q window, stretched
from the top of the high wainscoting
to within half foot OF the floor was
the grewsome skin OF a giant diamond
back rattlesnaie. The prophet point.
ed to 1t and said: There's my sec.
ret"
The skin was dripping wet. The
sweat, 80 to speak, stood out upon
Its scaly back In huge drops, which
would swell and swell and silently
run together In little streamlets,
which In turn would rush down In an
avalanche of other drops and reach
the floor with a splash like a great
tear. Everything else in the room
was dry as the humid atmosphere of
city after thunderstorm would
allow.
That's my barometer" said the
prophet. II killed the snake myself
In Florida and had u stripped. The
skin Is not tanned but just preserv.
ed. like rawhide I had noticed in
some Of the coastlng boats along the
gulf shore little strips of snake skin
hung up In the cabin. The captains
had told me that they could always
tell when a squall was coming by
watching this skin. I have had that
for three years now, and 1t has been
far more accurate than the weather
observer. No matter when tho first
Indications of storm make them
selves felt In the atmosphere,
whether 1t be night or day. summer
or winter. the faithful skin shows 1t
by beginning to sweat. II the storm
passes off the drops dry up and the
skin crisps and shrivels until II is
more like sandpaper than anything
else. In the winter, of course, the
sweat is not so profuse. because the
air is drler than In summer
why the snake rkin should be so
sensitive to changes In atmospheric
conditions I do not know. I have
asked expert snake handlers and
students Of reptile life. but they we're
as much at loss as was. do not
know, either, whether any skin but
that of the rattler will yield to hu-
midity or not. know that the Florida
boatmen use the rattler's skin ex-
clusively for their cabin barometers.

mysterious about II, I'll admit, but
