siLAeE IN FATTENING STEERS.
Prof. Thomas Shaw Thinks That Corn
SiIage Cannot BE Beat.

In corn growing areas II IL my con-
viction that no food for growing or
for fattening steers will prove cheaper
or o valuable than ORR silage. In
saying this | 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 30 to 40 pounds OF corn silage
daily. It goes well with clover hay
or alfalfa or any le%guminous fodder.
or 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 a 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 owe It and the meal and
silage are mixed while they are being
eaten, which leans hat all is re-
chewed in chewing the cud, which is
favorable to thorough digestion.
1t will not answer to feed only silage
n the fodder ration. Some dry fod-
der Is necessary az a safeguard, but
when the silage is sweet and good, 1t
would be safe to feed somewhat more
than the amounts mentioned. Fed In
suitable amounts the succulence ex-
ercises a favorable influence on diges-
ton.
The day 10 certainly coming when
there will be a great extension In the
building OF silos. and II cannot come
too soon. No other method OF saving
corn will compare with 1t. 1t utilizes
the entire product. stalk and grain.

Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and 1uc cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and i'm

In fue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and rackcd in barns

The Find That Made Mark Twain Z
Mississippi River Pilot

Mississippi River Pilot.
One day in the midwinter OF 1856
or 1871 think it was 1861 was
coming along the main street Of Keo-
kuk in the middle of the forenoon. 1t
was bitter weather, so bitter that that
street was deserted almost. A light
dry snow was blowing here and there
on the ground and on the pavement,
Ewirling this way and that way and
making all sorts of beautiful figures,
but very chilly to look at. The wind
blew a piece of paper past me, and it
lodged against a wall of a house.
Something about the look of it attract.
ed my attention, and l gathered it in.
1t was a fifty dollar bill, the only one
l had ever seen and the largest as
semblage of money / had ever encOun-
tered il one spot. l advertised it in
the papers and suffered more than
thousand dollars worth of sOlicitude
and fear and distress during the next
few days lest the owner should see the
advertisement and come and take my
fortune away. AS many as four days
went by without an applicant. Then
could endure this kind Of misery no
longer. l felt sure that another four
could not go by in this safe and secure
way. l felt that 1 must take that
money out of danger.
So bought a ticket for Cincinnati
and went to that city. 1 worked there
several months in the printing Office of
Wrightson & Co. l had been reading
Lieutenant's Herndon's account of his
explorations of the Amazon and had
been nightly attracted by what he
said of coca. made up my mind that
would go to the headwaters Of the
Amazon and collect coca and trade in
It and make a fortune. l left for New
Orleans in the steamer Paul Jones
with this great idea filling my mind.
One of the pilots of that boat was HOr-
ace Bixby Little by little 1 got ac-
Quainted with him, and pretty soon l
was doing lot OF steering for him in
his daylight watches. When l got to
New Orleans 1 inquired about ships
leaving for Para and discovered that
there weren't any and learned that
there probably wouldn't be any during
that century.
1t had not occurred to me to inquire
about these particulars before leaving
Cincinnati. so there I was. I couldn't
get to the Amazon. had no friends
in New Orleans and no money to speak
OF. 1 went to Horace Bixby and asked
him to make a pilot out Of me. He
said he would do 1t for 500 cash in
advance. So steered for him up to
st. Louis, borrowed the money from

SECOND ENTERTAINMENT
is HIGHLY APPRECIATED

The Presbyterians last night gave

course with Prof. Zwickey AZ the en-
tertainer. His entertainment was
made up Of one of the best lectures
delivered from a Florence platform
for the last year and tile talk was H.
lustrated with chalk drawings or
chalk talk. 1t WAS an art lecture
and he graphically described nrchi-
lecture Of different styles He also
pointed out that the American archi-
tects are given to ignore the proper
tions in beauty, combining 1t with
the durable and the pc rishable, which
is improper.
One Of his subjects was the proper
decorations Of houses. In the matter
of carpets for instance he spoke about
them being covered with flowers.
The idea conveyed wss that flowers
we're not grown to walk upon and
those whose carpets were decorated
with flowers did not have taste for
beds of beautiful blossoms.
In the matter Of l,eadgear of the
ladies. He says the women folks
style was such that they really did not
want to make All old hen of them
selves but they really presented that
appearance. They would liberally
cover their hats with feathers and go
further by placing thereon an abund-
ant supply Of fruits and flowers. He
stated stated that these things did not
grow on heads and to put them there
was due to commercislism. The
ladies journals pretended to educate
art but 1t is done more for com mercia
purposes.
In speaking about the necessity for
developing the artistic in America no
gave one instance In the United States
that he knew Of. This is an instance
