sILAGE IN FATTENING STEERS.
Prof. Thomas Shaw Thinks That Corn
siIage Cannot Be Beat.

In corn growing areas it is my con-
viction that no food for growing or
for fattening steers will prove cheaper
or more valuable than corn silage. In
saying this l know the opinion ex-
pressed is counter to what many be-
lieve who live in the corn belt, but I
will not take back or modify the
statement.
A steer that is fattening and that
weighs 1000 pounds should be fed
from 80 to 40 pounds of corn silage
daily. 1t goes well with clover hay
or alfalfa or any leguminous fodder.
OF the latter five pounds or about
that much would be wanted per day.
The grain ration, fed ground, would
be about a pound or slightly more per
day for every pound of the live weight
of the steer. The amount mentioned
is for steer after he is on full feed.
Leading up to full feed, considerably
less would be used The meal should
be fed on the silage. When the silage
is put in the feed box, the meal is
thrown over it and the meal and
silage are mixed while they are being
eaten, which means that all is re-
chewed in chewing the cud, which is
favorable to thorough digestion.
1t will not answer to feed only silage
as the fodder ration. Some dry fod-
der is necessary as a safeguard, but
when the silage is sweet and good, it
would be safe to feed somewhat more
than the amounts mentioned. Fed in
suitable amounts the succulence ex-
ercises favorable influence on diges-
ton.
The day is certainly coming when
there will be great extension in the
building of silos, and it cannot come
too soon. No other method of saving
corn will compare with it, 1t utilizes
the entire product, stalk and grain.

Not Equal to Luxuries,

A dapper young man took seat on
bench in Madison Square Park, says
the New York Press. Stunning him
self at the other end of the bench was
as fine specimen of the genus hobo
as ever disfigured landscape. After
seating himself the dapper young man
drew handsome silver case from his
pocket and extracted therefrom Gig
arctic. With the cigarette between
his teeth, he drew out silver match
box, to find it empty. Swapping down
the lid, he turned to the tramp, hest
tated, then said: 81 beg pawdon, my
friend, but do you happen to have a
match?" Hands plunged into his trou-
sers' pockets and legs sprawleo out
before him, the tramp surveyed his
neighbor with an air of deep melan-
choly. Say" he muttered hoarsely,
who do you think am. Pierpont
Morgan?"

NEWS OF The RAILROAD
Graders Working Hard on Atlantic
Northern and Southern, Prepar-
ing to Contract For Material

The graders at work on the grade
of the Atlantic Northern and South.
ern railroad are working hard these
days and before the end of the week
expect to have the first five miles of
the grade completed, when the sec
ond payment of twenty per cent on
the stock will become due. 1t was
expected that the work would be ii.
nished last week but the weather in-
terfered and delayed matters not a
little.
There are five camps of the grad els
now established. The first camp is
two and one half miles from the city,
and is in charge ef VIM. O'Keete who
has fifteen teams.
The second camp is six miles out
and is in charge of W. s. Sutherland.
He also has about fifteen teams.
The third camp, which is in charge
Of James Fitzgerald of the grading
firm, is on the Heiken place and here
has thus far been the busiest place of
all. Mr.. Fitzgerald has forty men
and teams at work and is throwing

AFFECTION OF THE NERVES.
stammerine Not Always Due to De.
fects In Vocal Organs.

"Stammering is often more the re-
suit of habit than from any defect of
the vocal organs" says Prof. B. L..
Payer. ut is generally, if not al
ways, caused by a spasm of the
larnyx, resulting from nervous con-
traction of the organs, thus refusing
to PRINT proper flow of the air cur
rent producing tone. People rarely
or never stammer when singing, for
then the attention is divided between
the words and music, the nervousness
is momentarily forgotten and the pas
sage of the air current through the
larnyx is continuous and unobstructed.
Stammering very often is the result
OF imitation, sometimes Intentional,
sometimes unconscious, and the af-
Fiction is much more general than
might be supposed. In one compare
lively small section of the city there
are 35 stammerers and every one of
them is able to demonstrate to his
own satisfaction not only that he does
not stammer very badly, but that
some other person he knows STAN
mers great deal worse than himself.
Every stammerer is intensely sensi-
tive about his infrmity, rarely for
gives and never does forget any allu-
sion to it which in his mind savors
of ridicule.-St. Louis Globe Demo-

HAD TO GO ON IN AUTO.
Machine Wouldn't Stop and owner
Tried to Wear 1t Out.

John P. Julius, a prominent piano
dealer of York, Pa, and an enthusi-
astic automobilist, engaged with his
electric auto in an endurance run,
which he will not soon forget. While
driving along through the city streets
something went wrong with the
mechanism of his car and he found
that he was unable to stop it. Though
moving at lively clip the cars pace
was within the speed limit, and Mr..
Julius, with great presence of mind,
steered it on, meanwhile giving his
spare attention to a search for the
trouble. This search he finally aban-
doned, and then began the endurance
run, which continued up hill and down
through the streets and over country
roads for several hours The machine
continued to bowl merrily on, and Mr..
julius was in despair, when he passed
a garage and managed to attract the
attention of a mechanic, who jumped
aboard and by removing few plugs
brought up the runaway.
