SILAGE PROPERLY
HANDLED HELPFUL
Incorrectly Put Up and Fed 1t
May Be Expensive.

Silos have been abandoned in many
cases because the milk became so
badly tainted as to become unstable.
If the creameries and cheese factories
were as particular as they should be
they would condemn a great deal of
milk that is now accepted from silage-
fed herds.
This is not the fault of the silage; it
is the fault of the man who handles it.
Silage has a very penetrative odor,
which is taken up very quickly by
milk. If silage is fed before milking
the milk is quite certain to become
tainted If the milk is allowed to stand
a few minutes in the barn after milk
ing and silage is fed while the cans
are standing around, the milk will be
tainted.
If the stable is not ventilated or is
poorly ventilated the silage odors will
linger in the stable and faint the milk
In an unventilated stable the stable it.
self will in time become saturated or
permeated with the silage odor and
will faint the milk, no matter how the
SlldSe is ndnuleu.
The corn is frequently cut into the
silo too green, which makes very sour
silage, with strong odoT. The silage
is frequently carelessly handled in the
stable; it is scattered through the
alleys and allowed to remain on the
floors. In such instances the stable
will be scented with the silage and
the milk will be tainted.
IL good results are expected from
silage IL must be properly handled in
the stable. First. silage must be fed
only after milking. Second, the floors
must be kept clean and no silage
allowed to accumulate in the alleys.
Third, there should not be more
silage fed than the stock will clear I'D
at once. Fourth. the stable must be
we'll ventilated. Fifth, corn should
not be cut in too green. Sixth, don't
feed moldy silage.
From the foregoing IL will be seen
that silage must be more carefully
handled than ordinary roughage. One
cannot throw silage around as he
might straw or hay and get satisfac-
tory results.
Silage properly put up and properly
fed is a very cheap and most excel

the second brood comes on during the

then, to kill off the slugs when they
first appear in June, and so prevent
the defoliation of the trees by the
second brood in August.
When the slugs first appear on the
leaves the trees should be given n
thorough treatment with paris green

the slugs feed openly on the upper

Last summer many cherry trees in
various parts of Iowa were stripped
of their leaves by dull Shiny slug.
Pear trees also are attacked by this
pest. perhaps even more than cherry
trees, hence the common name of the
insect. This slug feeds on the upper
surface of the leaves, not eating holes
through them, but taking only the up
per portion and leaving the veins bare.
Leaves thus eaten by the slugs dry
and fall from the tree and frequently
leave the trees entirely bare of foliage.
In Iowa these slugs appear twice
during the season. The first brood
appears in June and the slugs be-
come full grown early in July, while

Imitation Jewels In Churches.

For some time past there have been
frequent robberies of the jewels with
which some of the statues in the
churches in Rome are decorated. The
pope has given instructions to the va
rious church authorities that in future
the jewels with which the images are
adorned are to be removed and re-
placed by imitation stones, the actual
gems being lodged either at the vati-
can or at some recognized bank. 1t is
we'll known, of course. that many of
the statues and images used in the
churches are decorated with jewels
worth thousands of pounds. The
statue OF Christ at Ara-Coeli, at Rome.
contains gems worth about 100000
(s400. 000), while that of the blessed
virgin at Loreto is set with precious
stones worth nearly G240,000.

she selected was "disarrange," and
after having attempted to make it's

Needless Wear of Roads by Autos.

Of doing the majority of their driving

This method of driving means that
one portion of the road takes all the
wear and naturally of course gets
worn into ruts and ridges.
If the traffic would spread itself and
make all that portion of the road
from gutter to the top of the crown
take share of the wear, road sur
faces would last much longer and
would require less frequent repair. In
these days when roads are made al

Armenian Girl Goes to Mussu1man

A dispatch from ,Constantinople
says some tragic love affairs among
| Moslems have been reported OF late.
Gen. Habil Pasha unexpectedly en-
tered the room of his daughter
Medina and was surprised to find
her in company with Capt. Meh-
medal, a former aide-de-camp OF
| Abdul Hamid. The general instant
ly drew a revolver and fred at Capt.
Mehmedail, who died a few hours
later.
In the Bechiktash quarter Of the
city a Mussulman named Ismail car
ried off a young Armenian girl called
Siranusne, the daughter of a banker.
The parents followed to claim their
daughter, who, however, stated that
she wished to remain with Ismail.
The Armenians Of the district
threatened to lynch the girl, and
the Moslems made ready to defend
the two lovers. At this point the
police interviewed to prevent blood
shed, and arrested both Ismail and
Siranushe. The latter was given
over to the care Of IN old Moslem,
as she expressed her wish to be con-
verted to Islamism.
A third case Is that OF Lieut..
Mehmed Aga. He had two wives.
Husna and Fatma, who, during the
imprisonment of their husband for
a trifing offence, were said to have
taken advantage of his absence to
admit other men into the house.
The neighbors Of the two women
had often to complain Of the scan
dal, and the l%ieutenant's wives were
twice arrested as q consequence.
Hearing of what had taken place,
Mehmed Aga, on his discharge from
prison, decided to avenge himself.
He went back to his house, then
Inhabited by his wife Husna, and
saturated different rooms with Pc

the place. Mehmed Aga's W house
and the houses on either side were
