Why Build a SiloP
From Farming

rTOm dfHinS
The silo enables us to preserve greater
quantity of the food materials of the orig
inal fodder for the feeding of farm animals
than is possible by any other system of
preservation now known. The necessary
loss of nutrients incurred in the SLIDING
process need not exceed 10 per cent. and by
beginning to feed from tie silo soon after
1t has been filled, the loss will be reduced
to a minimum which may not be far from
per cent. In hay-making or field-curing of
coarse folders, there is an unavoidable loss
of leaves and other tender parts and in
curing fodder corn there will be a fermenta-
tive loss of nearly 10 per cent under the
best of conditions, or about as much as is
lost In the slo. The loss of dry matter
will approach 25 per cent, in ordinary farm
practice and will exen exceed this ngure un-
less special precautions are taken In the
handling Of the fodder.

How to Make the Heart Strong.

from the Outing Magazine.
The kind Of exercise one should take
for his hearts sake is extremely impor-
tant. AS l have already said, exercise, to
affect the heart sufficiently, must be vigor-
Gus, though not too vigorous. Ordinary
walking, while healthful. falls short Of
this requirement. That calisthenics and
light exercises generally are also deficient
In this respect is proved by the fact that
while all humankind naturally indulge In
light exercises, yet heart ailments are
prevalent among them. Every one that is
not bedridden walks more or less; and 1
have read learned articles which try to
prove that walking is the only exercise
man requires. But If a man never runs,
he could not, If he would, run fairly fast
even a half-mile. So the argument is in
effect that a man need not be able to run.
1 cannot agree with this conclusion: for
walking at a moderate pace affects heart
action only slightly.
Running, of all exercises for the heart,
is think, the best. OF course one who
has weak heart cannot Immediately run
either fast or far; nor is it necessary for
the average individual to learn to run
great distances at high speed. But every
one owes 1t to his health to be able to
run, without distress, say half-mile at a
fair pace. Let him begin by jogging one
eighth or one-quarter Of a mile, then a
half mile, which distances he may ulti-
mately run reasonably fast.

TWO BRICK COURT.
Temple Chambers in Which Oliver

From the London Tribune.
Few buildings link the London of the
present day with so many of the literary
characters of the London of the past as
does the house at 2 Brick court, Middle

Brick court all the wit of the metropolis of
his day. In 1885, on the strength of the

Is the Horse q Cowardp
From the Outing Magazine.


Imprimis, the horse is a coward-nature
made him so-an unreasoning coward, who
fears everything with which he is unfamil-
lar; nothing, however horrible, to which
association has accustomed him; a creature
given over to sudden and uncomfortable
panics, AID, in their paroxysms. stopping
at no injury to self, or to those who cherish
him. His overpowering instinct in such
cases is flight; frequently, but not always,
associated with determination to clear
himself from any hampering surroundings.
He has no feelings of revenge, unless train
ed to cunning by the abuse or the mistake
of mankind and, when these prevail he
rarely wreaks his vengeance upon any par
ticular individual, but upon humanity in
general. with no regard for age or sex.
The sentiment of revenge is so usually
associated with cowardice that it may al
most be classed as phase of that instinct
Cowardice manifests itself In equine con-
of the dark. which will make him kick his
stall all night doing himself possibly seri-
Gus injury; yet In nine cases out of ten, a
light left in the stable will so completely
reassure him that he will lot lift a foot
Another is alarmed at blowing paper yet
stands yawning while cannon are fired in
his face. 1t is this very attribute of cow
ardice which enables us to handle the ami
NAL as we do: to train him to our will and
for our purpose which makes him, once he
is thoroughly deceived and inundated. the
useful servant we find him: not a willing
slave, but one who fears again to tempt
reprisals which have always proved effec-
tive: and who labors for us because he has
been made to do so, and fears 10 rebel
Give to the most docile the idea that he
may successfully dsobey, and presto! you
shall discover another attribute Of the
coward-for your steed forthwith becomes
a bully, and a very dangerous one; since
each little act of rebellion which succeeds
awakens him to the idea that he need not
obey and that in power and will he Is su-
perior.

drive a car as the licensed chauffeurs they
employ. There is. in fact. an automobile
school in New York which makes a special
ty of instructing the woman who wishes to
become a proficient chauffeuse and it's list
of pupils, always a long one, is steady in
creasing The course Of instruction occupies
six months and embraces every part of au-
tomobile management including the emer-
gency repairs that every licensed chauffeur
must be able to make; and at the conclusion
of the term the successful graduate Is pre-
scented with certificate which, declaring
her competent to operate steam, gasoline
or electric motor, as the case may be, en-
ables her to procure a regular chauffeur S
license. There is no make-believe about the
training undergone by these enthusiasts, all
of whom are women Of wealth. who possess
or, expect to possess cars of their own; and
it is an object lesson long to be remembered
to see one of them overhauling car, with
as little respect for the condition of her
hands as the mechanic who must earn his
living by his work.

What Makes the Heart Weak.

Two important causes of heart trouble
are underworld and overwork. but chiefly
underworld. Where due to overwork it has
been physical, not mental. The hearts of
times become hypertrophied. while children
sometimes succumb to too arduous play.
With children, however, it is usually due
to a predisposition In that direction from
their parents, whose hearts have been
weakened by prolonged underexercise,
rather than to overexercise on their part.
AS the. result Of recent examination of
nearly O,0OO school children in the primary
grades, 1t was found that 80 per cent were
suffering from physical defects, among
which predominated defective vision, in
sufficient nutrition, pulmonary and heart
ailments7-a startling condition Of our
boosted civilization.

THE AUTOMOBILE WOMAN.
Wearing Motor Clothes Not Always
Sign.

Written for The Star.
The most striking figure among us now
adays-mainly because she Is so numerous
and so untidy-is the automobile woman;
and apparently she Is here to stay.
Any stranger who may happen to wander
through the streets Of New York during
these early autumn days will inevitably
gather the impression that 1t Is city of
motorists; not merely because nine-tenths
of the vehicles that perpetually threaten
him with humiliation are of the automobile
variety, but because a large proportion OF
the women he encounters on the sidewalks
or In the stores are clothed in regulation
motor garland wearing the harried do
or-die'' expression that almost invariably
goes with it.
But, to quote a familiar aphorism, ''you
cannot Judge a book by it's cover" and
neither can a woman's actual status be in
fallibly determined by her attire. The wom-
an who wears automobile clothes to do her
shopping in Is not necessarily an enthusiasts
tic motorist. AS matter of fact notwith-
standing the admitted prevalence of the
"motor Madness" it is dollars to dough-
mobile in her life-unless, possibly, in one of
the "rubberneck wagons" designed chiefly
for the benefit of the guileless tourist with
a desire to see New York. She has simply
fallen a victim to the auto outfit craze.
There are three cogent feminine reasons
for the popularity of this new fad.
First is Best.
First, it is distinctly "swagger." since 1t
conveys the awe-inspiring impression that
one has left NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Mer-

A Laugh on Somebody.

The United States won't have the
Chinese coolies within her borders be-
cause they are not good enough men to
mix up with the white races which
own this territory. But Chinese Drawn
would be very welcome, perhaps, In
digging the Panama canal, and ex-
pertinent Is to be made with this class
of long deSpiSed labor on the isthmus
1t may turn out failure or it may
stimulate competition and bring to the
work the muscle of other natiOnalities
Surely the Chinese philosophers at
home must laugh at the idea that Amer
lea must turn to what It once indig-
nantly cast out, as last resort. And
they will laugh again if somehow the
Chinese coolies fail to make good and
the canal work still goes begging.
At first blush American organized
labor will be chagrined at the spectacle
Of Asiatics in the pay Of the United
States government. But after all the
incident appears like tribute to hu-
man muscle and shows that labor is
the key to the arch of progress and
prosperity. Independent of the element
Of competition in the presence Of
swarms of Chinese in this country they
are not wanted on the ground Of i'm
morality, their own racial exclusive
ness and failure to assimilate with the
population, their blind allegiance to
China and to Chinese customs. But
impossible as they have proved to be
for American citizenship, they carry
beneath their yellow hides something
that seems to be needed, If not essen
tial, in putting through a tough job.
