FEEDING VALUE OF ROOTS.
When Farmers Get the Right Twist
on the Business.

There are few American farmers
who grow roots as a regular crop year
after year. One reason is because
hand labor is necessary to certain .ex-
tent; another reason is that their value
is not appreciated by stOckmen because
they do not know how to feed them.
When a stock farmer raises u crop Of
roots for the first time he is liable to
feed them in excess; then because re
suits are not satisfactory he makes up
his mind that he does not like roots to
feed.
The cost Of growing roots is being
reduced by improved machinery, due
in large measure to the successful
growing Of sugar beets. Within ten
years great progress has been made
in this direction, and the stock grower
who wishes to raise roots for feeding
purposes is profting thereby.
SCOndtmental Eject.
There are cooling, healthful proper
ties about roots not possessed by any
plants grown above ground. Roots are
stimulating to a certain extent and ap-
petizing when fed in connection with
ordinary farm roughage, which ac-
counts for the increased consumption
Of other feeds when roots are used.
These properties are approached but
not equaled by silage.
There is a continental value to roots
when properly fed that gives stock the
sleek, comfortable appearance that is
characteristic of thoroughbred stock
on the best English ana Canadian
stock farms The English farmer un-
how to grow roots and how
to feed them to the best advantage.
When American stock farmers get the
right twist on the business they viii
be just as enthusiastic over their field
Of roots for winter succulence as the
old stock raiser in England or Canada,
concludes Farm. Field and Fireside.

Never Tried a Case.

John II. Edleman has been a justice
of the peace in Jefferson township,
Henry county. Indiana, for IA years, but
in all that time. though many cases have
been before him, he has never tried one
OF them. When a dispute arises te-
tween citizens, no matter what it may
be, he always manages to bring about a
compromise. There's no money in tfpt
for me-" says Justice Edleman, but 1t
saves money for my neighbors, AMI l
generally manage to send the contend
ing parties away in good humor." He
recently attracted some attention by Of
fering to perform marriage ceremonies
for so cents each and provide a wedding
supper or breakfast for the couple.

argued with those pe7p'e ives q cau-
ton. One old woman was killed, ant
pa tried to show her relatives that Us
she was old and helpless. and more or
less a burden to the family, they ought
to pay the show something for getting
her off their hands. One tramp had
his feet cut off. and pa tried to show
him how much he would save in shoes
the rest of his lie. and that he was
in Dig luck. We lett Ta at Poush-
keepsie to settle the cases. and went
or to New York, and we heard the people
had lynched him, but he showed up
in a couple of days with money left.
Now all the lawyers in New York are
after us. with claims. and they have
attached most everything, and the
show is up against 1t.
What a difference it makes who
wants damages. When we were work
ing the railroad for damages. it was
a ciIch, and like getting money from
home. but 10Y that the people are
working Is for damages, for being
smashed up under our tent. we look
upon it as a crime. and tell them it
is All act of Providence, and that the
show Is not to blame for a wind
storm. But the lawyers cant be
very pious, for they won't believe in
the act of Providence racket. and we
shall have to cough up all the profits
of the season.
Since we got settled in New York for
. two weeks stand. in Madison Square
Garden. we are having the tents re-
paired. and don't have to put up and
take down tents, and ride all night on
trains. We are all stopping at hotels,
AMI getting rested, and pa Is having
a chance 10 shine.
The managers think pa is trying to
commit suicide. for he wants to take
the place Of anybody who Is sick
or drunk, and is the understudy Of
everybody. We got n act that just

then jumps on again. The horse is

lion that jumps on his back, but

The tigers ride bicycles. and the
!eOpards jump about wherever tie
trainer tells them to; a monkey acts
as clown, and a little elephant runs a
make-beiieve automobile. That act
alone Is worth the price OF admission.
Well. the regular trainer went to
COney Island. and got drunk, and we
either had to cut out that perform

the manager was wailing about 1t.
cause nothing makes a circus man

cided to Danish the baboon, and orr
show sent pa to Newport to buy the
.baboon and bring him to our show at
New York.
We had the darndest time got
ting him away from Newport. Pa
couldn't do anything with him, but
he took to me, cause he thought was
his lOng-lOst brother, and l could do
anything with him. We got him Ia
our stateroom IN the boat. and took
his clothes away from him. cause he
only wears his clothes when he il
being dined and wined, and we chained
him in the upper berth. He just
raised the very deuce on the way
down to New York. After pa and
got to sleep that baboon got my
clothes, and put them on. slipped the
chain over his head, jumped through
the transOm, and went into every
berth where the transom was open
and chatted with the people who oc-
cupied the berths. There was an old
man and woman from New Hamp-
shire in one berth. and when the monk
got In their berth and began to talk
the Newport language, the old MAJ
thought it was me. and he said: Now.
bub, you go away to your pa"
The monk went out. and got into an
other berth, and crawled under the
bunk, and when the woman came IL,
to 90 to bed. she looked under 1t IL
see II any man was there. When she
saw our baboon she yelled fire." an
the officers OF the boat pulled him GU.
by the hind leg, and tore my pant

rest of the night with him. and when
we landed him with the show at
Madison Square Garden we felt re-
9ieved.
Ono woman or the boat has fol.
lowed us ever since to collect dam
ages from pa. cause his Oldest soE,
the monk, proposed to her. Gee. it
seems to me o woman ought to know
the difference between a baboon and
