Locating the Pasture Well,

In many parts of the country the
practice is followed of placing a wind
mill in the pasture and locating there
we'll from which water may be
drawn for the farm stock This is not
only advisable, but necessary in a
good many cases. A man may thought
lessly locate his we'll in a position in
the pasture where it would be very
unserviceable in wet weather. In
passing a pasture where a windmill
was located on the top of the highest
knoll, man remarked on the seeming
absurdity Of going to the top of the
highest place to sink a well, when it
would have been nearer to water in
some other part of the pasture. An
other man remarked that this was
done so that the cattle could have a
dry place to stand in wet weather.
In case Of any other location the
ground would soon be pounded into q
quagmire and the animals would find
difficulty in getting to their drinking
place, and the man that has the start
ing and stopping of the windmill
would also find it difficult to get about.
Even in the care Of the windmill and
we'll on the top Of the knoll mentioned
the owner had made some efforts at
paving it by throwing in pieces of
broken tile.

Sweet Glover for Mulch.

o"SCh SsOVSI tVt VtuSSNs
We believe that sweet clover might
be used profltably as mulch in our
gardens and among our shall fruits.
This plant is now growing abundantly
in all parts of Illinois nearly and in
some counties the roadsides are al.
most solid with it, and it rises to a
height of five and six feet. At this
time of the year, when it is desired
to protect the bare ground between
the rows of fruit bearing canes from
the hot sun, the sweet clover might
be mown and so used. The plant rots
quickly, but this will be no objection
to it, IS it is rich in nitrogen, which
its root tubercles have gathered from
the air. The bacteria that works on
its roots are the same that work on
the roots of alfalfa, and it is therefore
great improver Of the soil. In ad-
dition, it is very easy to cut, as its
stem is soft and juicy. 1t will pack
solidly and the wind will not be able
to blow it away. The application Of
mulch is desirable in numerous places
on the farm and we know of nothing
that should give better results than
this

An Army Of Poor Cows

One has but to look over the United
States census of milk production to
be convinced that we have on our
farms great army Of very Door
COWS, as well as small army of
good ones. The army of poor cows
outnumbers the army of good ones,
and that is the reason that on the
ordinary farm and on the average the
cow does not pay for her feed. This
is remarkable statement, but we
have been unable to find that it is
false, much as we would like to. The
figures of the cow population fol the
country approach 18,000,000. OF this
number at least half should be dis
posed of as fast as new COWS can be
put in their places. With the poorer
half out of the way the farmer would
make as much money as he does at
the present time and be relieved of
half of the labor and a large share
of the expense. When the value of
the labor saved was taken into con.
sideration and added to the feed
saved it would be found that the
change was equal to q profit instead
Of = loss. NH ! T.. :. ..s,s s.7S

Illinois Audubon Society.

Inc llllnOlS Audubon Society is an
organization existing for the protec-
ton of the birds of the state. It is
exerting it's influence against the wear
Ing of bird feathers in the hats of
women, for it believes that this has
been largely responsible for the de.
crease Of bird life in the past. The
aigrette is particularly Objectionable.
The securing of the aigrette plume of
commerce is marked by particular
cruelty, because the adult heron, from
which the aigrette is taken, are killed
at the nesting season, the young birds,
unable to care for themselves, being
left to starve in the nests. The soci-
ETY. is trying to create sentiment
against such practices, and is doing
this largely through the medium of
the schools. The society would like
to increase it's membership, and
wishes people to form affiliated soci-
cites. The cost of membership in
the society is as follows: Member
ship fee, Is cents; associate member
ship fee, $1.00; sustaining members,
$500; active members annually,
$1.00. Associate, active and sustain
ing members receive all the publica-
tons of the Illinois society. The Sec
rotary of the society is Miss Mary
Drummond, Wheaton, Illinois. She
will be pleased to answer correspond.

DARBY AND THE DOUGH"

Colored Croesus Was Astonished at
the Size of His Pile.
There was a darby living in Eu-
fala,' says Representative Clayton Of
Alabama, "who was so fortunate as
to net the sum of $4,000 by reason of
the sale of some property that had
been left him. Payment was made by
certified check, which the Eufala
man Immediately presented at the To-
cal bank, saying that he would like to
have de cash.
''The teller suggested that the wis
er plan would be to deposit the check
and he added that the bank would
pay per cent thereon; but the darby

without further argument the tel
Ter asked the colored man how he
would have it, remarl1ing at the same
time that as the amount was a large
one he supposed the darby would
take it in f1fties, or in hundreds.
Deed, l doan' want no fifty or no
hundred dollar bills exclaimed the
colored man Indignantly. Flows
gunner git 'em changed? No, sab, l
wants nah money in five-dollar bills!'
"Whereupon the teller piled up eight
packages of five-dollar bills in front of
the darby, whose eyes began to shine
with establishment.
"'What's all dat, boss?' queried he.
"That represents $4,000 replied
the teller.
'Sho! you doan' tell mel ex,

In Favor Of silaae.


There are several good points in
favor of silage as feed for dairy
COWS, and these should not be over
looked when the farmer is debating
Wnat kind of feed he will use.7 Its
accessibility is increased by the fer
mentation it undergoes, and by some
scientists this increased digestibility
Is placed at about 20 per cent. With
Stage more bulk of feed can be
raised to the acre than in any other
way. Nearly any kind of corn can be
raised for silage and shorter season
Will bring it to the Safeguarding
stage than to the grain-producing
stage. 1t can be harvested in wet
weather and moisture does not harm
1t, which is not the case with corn
tnat Is being raised for fodder. AS a
plant to grow it is not expensive and
our farmers all know how to harvest
II. The feed that comes out of the
sllo Is as succulent as the cow ever
gets and she will do as we'll on it as
on the best bluegrass pasture that
can be grown. Some feeders say that
their COWS do better on silage than
on blue grass pasture. Silage can be
used as a soiling crop as well as
winter feeding crop. This is a great
advantage when a farmer has enough
10 last him over winter and into the
summer season. There is one thing
that should not be lost sight of in re-
gard to silage and that is that it can
be carried over from one year to an
other and it's life can be extended
through number Of years. This is
not true Of fodder, for in the course
OF time it deteriorates, though it may
be bright and good throughout the
first winter. None of our farmers
would think of keeping fodder for
two or three years and feeding it to
their COWS. The keeping quality of
silage makes it impossible to make the
abundance of one year balance the
deficiency in another. Silage is very
convenient to use in feeding, probably
more SO than any other kind of rough
feed. Its use makes it possible to
greatly increase the stock carrying
capacity of the farm.

= -, Sheep. $685. 1 - ~'> ~
The attempt has a good many times
oeen made of giving sheep nothing
out pasturage when they were being
prepared for market. If this is ever
successful it is under exceptional con-
dltions. The well-fnished sheep has
10 have something more than half
ory grass on which to build up juicy
nesh. This is the more the case as
thls fattening has to be done in the
TALL OF the year when pastures are
not at their best. At the South Da-
kota station an experiment was made
TO determine to what extent the sheep
would improve on pastArage in the
TALL of the year. The time of pastur-
ing was from September to Novem.
Der 2. Sixty ewes were used in the
experiment, and these were divided
INTO lots of ten ewes each. Each lot
was allowed to run on two acres of
native prairie grass, but it was in IN
usually good condition, as it had not
been pastured for the entire season,
nor had it been cut for hay. OF the
six lots only one was fed entirely on
this native pasturage. The other lots
had some kind Of grain in addition.
The trial would indicate what we
have said above that it is unadvisable
to attempt to fatten sheep without
grain. The lot that had no grain not
only did not increase in weight, but
lost over five pounds each in weight,
the loss for the ten being 81 pounds.
All the other lots made substantial
gains. This trial was only another
proof that it does not pay to try to get
something for nothing. This pasture,
1t may be noted, was much better
than is the average pasture on our
farms, as the sheep were really put
onto a pasture where they could eat
in two months the pasturage that is
generally available during six.

The gun was brought out and fired
over the practice mast, which is a Is.
foot pole with crossyard near the
top. The line was caught and made
fast to the mast by John James,
nephew of the captain. The lines
we're hauled tight by means of a
tackle and James stepped into the
breaches buoy.
AS he did so the mast broke at it's
base and fell on the beach with James
beneath it. He was nursed back to
life, but as cripple, and discharged
from the service. Though a young
man, his hair is almost white from
the shock.
The life crew somehow began to
look upon the carriage specter as hav-
ing been an ill omen.
Several winters later. at the very
same point on the beach where the
carriage had entered the water, Capt.
James fell dead beside his lifeboat.
Doesn't all this prove something?

The life savers, who had been
joked over the horse and buggy, refus'
ed to go near that part of the beach
or to discuss the matter, except to adj
nit that they were glad she kept away
from the station.
She was an eminently respectable
"spook'' and modestly kept her trou-
bles and herself from the curious.
Many people saw her for three even
ings in succession. They said she wore
widows veil and walked from the
eastern end of the beach to a great
rock and disappeared.

handkerchief in front of her face.
Some of the bolder spectators spoke
to her or stood in her path and were
rewarded by seeing her suddenly van

The woman was said to often turn
her face toward the sparkling lights

waiter Duly Labeled as Belonging to
Famous College.
Philip King, formerly of the Prince
ton eleven, relates how while crowd
of Harvard boys was celebrating the
result of a game with Pennsylvania
some years ago one Cambridge man
was much taken with the white waist
coat worn by waiter in a Boston
cafe. The Harvard man called the
waiter to him, saying:
II want to buy that waistcoat!"
"Why, what do you want it for?'
asked the astonished waiter.
Never mind what I want it for,'
continued the Harvard man. What
will you take for the waistcoat?"
After some spirited bargaining on
both sides the waiter consented to
accept five dollars in payment for the
garment Whereupon the Harvard
man shouted ''Done!" and gave the
waiter the sum mentioned.
And when do you want it, sir?"
asked the waiter.
"Oh," reblied the collegian. 81 don't
want you to give the waistcoat to me
not at all! l merely wanted to feel
that I owned it."
At this the waiter bowed and was
about to walk away when the Har-
ward man called him back.
Don't be in hurry" he said.
There is something else."
Whereupon, motioning the waiter

piece of celery, dipped it into the
cranberry sauce and proceeded to
mark big "H'' on the middle Of the
front of the white waistcoat that he
felt was his own!
