have heard some say the women
we're usually scared worse than the
horses. That may be true. How can
they expect anything else when they
don't even monk or in any way let
us know they T coming, especially
around corners and over hills?
We narrowly escaped an accident
last Saturday. If We had not noticed
the cloud Of dust we should have run
into an automobile right at a corner
Now law or no law think automo-
bile drivers might have oonsidera-
tion enough for Others to ''honk" at
such places. But instead of taking
a little pains to 40 so they seem &c
think the roads we're made especially
for them and all Others should ''cleai
the track which we will gladly il
not gracefully do, if given an oppor,
tunity.
When the cily people who owr
autos want a little pleasure they
drive u through the country, seem
ing to care little how much pleasure
they destroy for country people, es
pecially ladies who have 10 drive
alone. The pleasure is all taken Out
of their side when they may expect
to be run into by an automobile al
any moment, There is no fun in il,
nor do I think any justice, They ought

Mangels or TuInips For Cows.

Where silos are not had to provide
succulent feed for dairy cows. many
do the next best thing by growing
turnips or mangeis. There is always
the one objection TO turnips - the
risk OF tainting the milk; and espe-
ciaily does this turnip flavor develop
in butter after 1t is held some time.
it is claimed that If you feed turnips
directly after the morning milking
there is no danger of taint however.
we would not care TO risk our repu-
tation as \ butter maker on II. If
you cannot put UP siiage and must
have something else. why not raise
mangels? You can raise more of
Them TO the acre than you can turnins,
and you can avoid the risk of turnip
faint. But whatever you do. don't
fail on good store of succulent feed
for next winter. Cows do their best
when on clover. You can provide
sweet clover hay for next winter, but
succulence must come from some 9th
er source.-Weekly Witness.
