5&or2 of n Oacc Famous Vessel In
the Rusninn Navy.
Among the anecdotes told by Colonel
f. A. Wellesley in his book, with the
Russians In Peace and War;" is one
concerning once famous vessel Of the
Russian navy. When the ironclad
Peter the Great, from which so much
was expected, was In course Of con-
struction the deputy acting minister
Of mqrino, on being suddenly asked by
the car what progress the ship in
question was making, lost his head
and replied that she would be ready
for sea In three weeks. "The emperor
expressed great satisfaction Mt the
news and said that he would shortly
inspect the vessel ut Cronstadt. It SO
happened, however. that fur from
being ready for sea, the ship was still
in dock and that her armor plates,
which were being rolled in England.

(which he was most reluctant to be-
lieve. l told the duke, however, that
he would soon have IN opportunity OF

"Then the emperor, noticing that

Public Prosecutors.

If there is one public office whose
incumbent more than any other
needs to be endowed with an un-
usual amount of common sense, it is
the lawyer who represents the state.
Ii public prosecutor is unduly am
bilious for spectacular reputation,
he will inevitably prove most
costly luxury to the taxpayers for he
can spend almost unlimited money
to crafty his ambitions and not
only be within the law but possibly
for a limited time in public favor by
so doing. The public prosecutor,
however. who is endowed with an
abundant store of common sense will
in every case advise against the in
dictment of a suspect unless he is
in the first place confident in his
own mind that the suspect is guilty
Of the crime with which he is charg-
ed and equally confident in the sec
ond place of his ability to convict
him before jury.
1t is easy to see however, how
ambition will prompt public prose-
cutors to attempt the impossible.
They are assured in the first place
Of wide notoriety and much free
advertising, and as the money which
they are to spend is not their own
but the public's their conscienoes
are often quite easy on this score
The quiet, self-contained man Of
common sense and good Judgment
who has due regard for his duty and
for the money Of tho public whom
he serves, is in the end sheman who
as public prosecutor scores the mos
lasting success. He may not figure
in the newspapers more than hal
the time during his incumbancy
but he will show up nobly in til,
expense account, and in the end HI
will gain the lasting respect of thos'
whom he serves. The spectacula
fellow on the other hand may a
chieve temporary notoriety. but il
the end he will be condemned TO
lack Of Judgment and for having ex
plotted himself at the public expen

Build a slo.

This is the season of the year when
q great many are considering the ad-
visibility of building a silo Infor-
nation on the value of silage for
COWS and all kinds Of live stock has
been spread broadcast over the coun-
try during the last 20 years, and
every farmer who reads agricultural
papers has stored away a good deal
of knowledge on this subject. 1t is
a notable fact that while one eees
thousands of Endorsements for the
silo, one scarcely ever finds anyone
who, after having tried silage, con-
demns it. A few years ago this
could not haze been said for the
reason that silo construction was not
so we'll understood and at that time
one often heard of silage rotting.
There are, however, still great
many farmers who believe that the
cost of silage production is too high
for the ordinary man. This is an
error. A silo can be built very
cheaply and the cost of putting
green corn in the silo is very little
greater than the cost of cutting corn,
husking it and hauling the grain
and the corn stalks to the barn in the
usual way. Quite a number of farm
ers are putting corn in the silo at a
cost Of raising the crop, which is any
where from $8 to 50 per acre. The
value of succulent food during the
winter months is we'll understood
and need not be repeated in this
instance.
A. w. Trow, of Minnesota, and by
the way, one of the most successful
dairymen in the state, in addressing
the Iowa Dairymen's association this
spring, related the following expert
ence of successful dairyman in
Wisconsin:
"It is possible for man to get a
good income from 60 acres of land
by the use of the silo and feedinp
good COWS?
I want to tell you of a man 1 met
the other day. [ had heard of this
man, Griswold, Of West Salem, Wis.
who is keeping q herd of COWS on SO
acres. went out there and found
him on so acres Of land, keeping 2s
cows, about 20 headTof young stock
and the necessary horses for working
the land. He is careful bookkeeper
and l went through his books.
found that on that farm of so acres
and lOacres ofpasture that he hired
only $3.50 worth of feed was bought
| found. that he had sold $4,000
worth of cream during 1908. Some
may, perhaps, think that this was
ice cream, but it was not. Tht
cream sold for 22aa cents for butter
fat; $4,000 from % COWS, about So:
4 cow. And he has sold $500 wortl
Of hogs, 500 worth of potatoes ane
$50 worth of hay. What was h,
doing, selling hoy on that little farm
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1905-05-17

Well, he had two silos. The increase
in stock amounted to 5000, making
a total revenue of about $4,000 from
that 80 acres. This is another source
OF encouragement to young farmers
who cannot buy a big farm. Mr..
Griswold has silo Is OF 20 feet in
diameter and 32 feet deep for winter
feeding, and another for summer
feeding He fed these COWS all the
cnsllage they would eat both summer
and winter, and that was one of the
secrets of getting so much from so
small farm. OF course, he took
good care of his cows, used the Bab-
cock test and scales to weed out the
poor ones. | asked him the secret
OF his success, and he said, First,
close attention to my cows, wedding
out the poor ones, keeping the heifers
from the good ones, and then I could
not get along without the use Of the
silo.
The above facts show what can be
done by intensive farming. We
ave often stated that the majority
of farmers are attempting to care
for 4o much land. They are not
CON ntrating their efforts on any
one he of business, and the result
is that poor returns often follow
theiFefforts. If Mr.. Griswold can
secure revenue Of $4,000 per year
on p acres, is it not fact that he
'is tting a great deal more out of
his bres than the average man who
farms l6O acres or more obtains?
The silos are without question at
least partly responsible for his large
income per acre. Don't delay build
ing a silo any longer-delay for the
man who raises cattle or sells cream
means loss of profts.-Farmers

"No one needs be robbed by a
trust" declares the Lincon, Neb.
Star, and then intimates that all
one needs to do is to refrain from
buying goods made by a trust. How
easy! All one has to do is to quit
eating meat, buying clothing, buy
lug medicine in case of sickness,
having laundry work done, buying
breadstuffs or canned goods, going
to the theatre or travelling on the
railroads. The Star is deserving of
great credit for discovering an easy
method of busting the trusts.

The Proper Way to Ride the Animal

ridden in swimming stream:
10 begin with, 1t must not be- sup
posed that q horse always swims nat
urally and with case the moment he Is
of his feet In the water. The animal
under such circumstances has but one
notion-to keep his head out OF the wa

possible.
In doing this his hind quarters sink,
and he finds himself almost standing
upon his tail. or ut least in position
three-quarters erect.
In such n position, II the rider draws
upon the reins or throws his body back
In the least, the animals hind quarters
will sink more and more, his body will
take vertical position, and, beating
the water uselessly with his forefeet,
he will finally sink.
AS soon us tho horse gets of his feet
In the water let the rider grasp hand
full Of the animals name, leaning at
the same time well forward upon his
shoulders, but without touching the
horses head. The riders knees should
be pressed tightly to the horse's sides;
otherwise he Is likely to be swept Oft
by the water.
This is the only position which will
enable q man to remain In the saddle
and the horse to swim at the same
time.

Law Will be Enforced.

To Whom This May Come:-In view
of the fact that the question is soon to
be submitted to the voters Of Hartford
whether or not there shall be open sa'
looms in the town. and in view OF the
further fact that the argument has
been and is being advanced that in the
event local option is voted here, the
law will not be enforced and blind
tigers" will be tolerated, we. the under
signed citizens of Hartford and friends
of law and order, do hereby undertake
and agree with ourselves and each 9th
er and the officers of the law that in the
event the majority OF the votes are cast
against the licensed sale of spirituous,
vinous and malt liquors in this city at
the election to be held here on May
8, we will use all honorable means to
aid the officers of the law and the courts
of justice to enforce the penalties de-
noupced by the statute against those
who sell liquors in violation Of the local
option law.
There have been recent important
amendments to the local option law,
greatly facilitating its enforcement,
and in view of the fact that the posses
sion Of Government license is now
prima facia evidence of guilt against
those vending liquors In violation Of the
