There Is much that might be said In
favor OF summer silos. Undoubtedly
the invested capital Is somewhat great
er where provision Is made for ensiling
q sufficient quantity Of forage to supply
the dairy herd through the summer.
Perhaps the summer silo will even cost
more for given capacity than will a
winter one, inasmuch as summer feed
ing takes cognizance both of the lessen
ed appetites Of the cows and the great
er rapidity Of fermentation. 1t be-
comes necessary, therefore, for summer
feeding to materially reduce the sur
face area from which silage is fed.
One should so limit the surface area
for summer feeding that one and one
half inches will be daily removed when
the cows appetite for silage Is lightest
and that the average feed will remove
about two inches. If this Is not done
not only will there be waste of fod-
der owing to excessive fermentation,
but the quality of the whole feed de-
teriorates, even to a point Of impart-
ing undesirable flavors to the milk

A CHEAP CROP.

VIII 1t Pay to Grow Ryef-Hard ON
the SoiI-value For Hay.
Rye is crop that demands a fair
amount of moisture. Low land, not too
wet and cold, Is most congenial for
good yield. 1t draws hard upon the
soil, as it derives less of its growth
from the air than many other products,
and while good soil will raise more
bountiful crop quite sterile lands In q
wet season will produce sometimes
quite a growth, but when such land
will no longer produce rye 1t Is the last
seed you need to SOW
While rye Is a cheap crop, 1t yields
but small amount of grain for the
amount of stalk. In localities where
fodder Is scarce 1t can be used as q
substitute for hay Ii cut just as 1t Ii

the leaf blades are In just good condi-
ton and fairly well developed. III sown
in the last of August the first Of June
would be the proper time for cutting,
but the wholesomeness Of this kind OF
fodder has been somewhat questioned
for the use OF horses unless fed alter
nately with clover or timothy hay. IL

Superstitions.

If two persons raise their glasses to
their lips simultaneously they are In
dicating the return of friend or rela-
tive from foreign parts. The same In
timation is conveyed by bubbles In
coffee or by the accidental fall of a
piece of soap on the floor.
A Pickering flame in the fire or an
upright excrescence in burning
candle is interpreted as predicting the
arrival of a guest. whose stature is
judged by the length of the flame or
excrescence.

Of which some one else has partaken

An Exclusive Elevator.

There is perhaps no elevator In the
world more exclusive than that provid-
ed at the capitol for the supreme court
of the United States. That elevator
can be used by exactly eleven people,
and no one else would for a moment
consider entering 1t except as the guest
of one of these eleven privileged gentle
men. The fortunate eleven are the nine
justices Of the United States supreme
court, the clerk and the marshal OF the
court. The elevator goes from the
ground floor of the capitol to the main
floor, on which Is located the supreme
court of the United States. 1t is q
small elevator, SO that, with its con-
ductor, three portly forms Of justices
Of the supreme court Of the United
States would fill it. 1t is one Of the
very latest designs Of electric elevators

Safety Coupling Act

The secretary of the interstate com

to the house, calls attention TO re-
cent decision of the United States
circuit court of appeals for the Eighth
district affecting the safety coupling
act. which, he says, ''if upheld by the
supreme court, will have the effect OF
multiplying the purpose Of the statute
in a vital respect, the securing of such
uniformity in applied automatic coup
ling devices as to permit all the cars
in a train to be coupled and .uncoupled
without requiring men to go between

SITUATION IN MOROCCO.
Sultan viii Send an Expedition
Against the Pretender.

News received In Tangiers from Fez
under date of January is that the
sultan's expedition against the rebels
was on the point of starting from Fee
that evening. II probably consists of
from $4,000 to 10000 men, including
the reinforcements from the south. and
IL is feared that the imperial troops
have not recovered their morale since
their last defeat, and that it would be
a mistake for them to attack the reb-
els.
The pretender has been heard of
from three or four places within a
radius Of forty miles of the capital
He is generally accompanied by
small escort, and is supposed to be
trying to entice the sultan to attack
him. The British consul is still at
Fee, ant the other foreign consuls are
thought to be there still 1t is not
considered advisable for Europeans to
venture to Fee under the present con-
ditions.
