be better for this purpose for cows and
young growing animals than good clo-
yer hay, as this comes the nearest to
making a we'll balanced ration. The
grain feed should be of such kind as
will help to make the best possible
ration for the animals. With such
feed as this the COWS when fresh in
milk should do as well in winter in
the production of a good quality and
amount Of milk as in the summer if
otherwise well cared for.
On our farm there has been silo
for a good number of years, following
the practice of growing fodder corn
to cure and feed dry, and the conclu-
sions here arrived at are largely the
results Of experience. The farmer.
rightly situated, who builds a silo and
makes an intelligent use of it can
hardly fail of being pleased with the
results and will wonder why he did
not do it before.

SILAGE FOR
LIVE STOCK.

\ successful dairyman, who has
been feeding silage for a number of
years, says Of its value: Not only is
good ensilage one of the best feeds for
cows giving milk, but it will be excel
lent as part of the ration for fatten-
ing of animals. perhaps with a little
variation in the kind and amount of
grain fed with it.
For spring calves the following win
ter and for the older growing animals
silage will be found very useful as a
part of their feed. Try it, and you
will be surprised to find how well they
like it. 1t can be fed in moderation to
pigs and brood sows also with advan-
tage.
In my opinion it requires less work
to put the crop in the silo than to har-
vest in the old way and handle over
two or three times before it can be
placed before the cows or other stock.
And, further, l believe the crop thus
cared for will be worth at least one
third more, all things considered, than
when dry fed. A large amount of
corn can be put in the silo of average
size and when the work is completed
it is then under shelter in the best con-
dition now known and ready for use
when wanted.
The silo should be thoroughly con-
structed, be air and water tight. The
round form is the one now mostly
used, and they should not be too large
in diameter, but Of good height, for
the better keeping and feeding of the
silage They should be placed where
it will be the most convenient, thus
saving time and labor. Where there is
large stock to feed it would be better
to have two moderate sized silOs than
very large one. Where it is desira-
BILE to make use of large amount OF
green feed in the summer season
small silo, filed expressly for the pur-
pose, will be found of the greatest adj
vantage, as experience has proved.
Where a crop Of corn is well cared
the best of them can be broken off to
husk and the remainder put in the silo
as Soon as possible. Not only can corn
be made into ensilage, although it may
be the best crop for the purpose, but
clover, alfalfa and even oats and rye
when at the proper stage Of growth
A silo filled with mixture of corn
and clover would make an excellent
feed for stock.
Silage should not be fed alone to
stock. There should be along with it
a portion of dry fodder, and none will

MODERN ROYALTY.

HopeIessIy Handicapped by the Prog
ress of Mankind.
What is a modern king for if not to
set O pattern of the brave, courteous,
urbane gentleman and make a comely
figurehead for state occasions? If he
fails there of what earthly use is he?
He cannot govern. He dare not at
tempt to rule. He is so OutclaSSed in
professional training by his own gen.
erals that he would never be tolerated
as an active commander in chief in
time Of war. He is hopelessly below
the requirements Of the age If he
dreams of leadership in art or learn
ing, literature or science. If he cannot
make a brave showing of the virtues
and graces of more primitive times
when he gets a chance he fails utterly
The truth is that modern royalty is
handicapped hopelessly by the progress
Of mankind. The age is far too COM
pick to enable a king to play the part
he is cast for in the great drama Of
the worlds work and struggles. He
would be more than human if he could
live up to the demands of his birth
and the traditions of his vocation.
Kings were formerly tragedies when
they were evil and great benefactOrS
when they were both good and wise.
Now they are perilously near the Dor
der line of comedy, which slides easily
down into farce.-Cleveland Leader.

THE KETTLEDRUM.
IL Is an Instrument That Is Pretty Diff

It Is an Instrument That Is Pretty Diff
ficuIt to Handle.
The k"tueGrum has been so far i'm
proved that it has a pitch; in fact, it
contains the large range of four notes.
1t is, as its name shows, a copper ket-
tie, or basin. covered over with skin,
which can be frightened or loosened by
screws placed around the edge Drums
Of this shape were used by the Rom
ans, and even earlier by the Greeks
and Etruscans. But they were not
known in western Europe before the
crusades.
Although it may appear so, the ket-
tledrum is not at all an easy instru-
ment to manage, for in order to get
each of the four notes the player has
to turn all the screws and adjust the
parchment anew. For this reason ket-
tledrums are often used in pairs, one
tuned to the keynote. the other to the
fourth below. In this way the drum
mer has always the two chief notes in
the scale to work upon, and if the COM
poser has not exacted much from him
he will have quite an easy time. But
when a change of key is approaching
it is quite exciting to watch the drum
mer screwing and unscrewing the
the drum and lightly tapping to hear it
the pitch is true, and If we recollect
that he often has to tune his drum
while the whole orchestra is lifting up
its voice we realize that he must be
no mean musician; that he must pos
sess an exquisitely sensitive and well
trained ear and a steady hand and
nerve as well.-Jessie K. Macdonald

The Water Clock.

The earliest application of the clep-
sydra principle to produce motion was
by Tsiang Hung, A. D. 1875, who made
an 'orrery" representing the apparent
motion Of the heavenly bodies around
the earth, which was kept going by
dropping water. In the sixth century
Of the Christian era an instrument was
in use in China which indicated the
course of time by the weight of water
as it gradually came from the beak of
a bird and was received in a vessel
on balance, every pound representing
a one-hundredth part of the day Of
twenty-four hours. About this time
mercury began to be employed in
clepsydras instead Of water.

A WARNING DREAM.
The Vision Lincoln Saw Several Times
In His Sleep.

The Vision Lincoln Saw Several Times
In His Sleep.
Napoleon believed devoutly in
dreams as warnings or even as fore
casts Of what was to come, and even
he who most prides himself upon MS
freedom from superstition knows of
or has experienced at least one dream
that cannot be explained as a mere
result of overlooking.
When we contemplate dreams and
their ramiications science can help us
but little in their explanation. Wilkie
Collins showed this to be SO in one OF
his most ingenious novels, "Armadale."
Warning dreams or premonitions may
be the result of natural laws which
we do not understand.
Lincoln was not counted supersti-
tious because he had some confidence
in the prophetic character of one
dream, at least, for it visited his sleep
on several occasions, and he spoke Of
1t seriously to members of his family
and to his closest friends. In telling
of this vision he said he seemed to be
in ga singular, indescribable vessel.
but always the same, moving with
great rapidity toward dark and In
definite shore"
The dream preceded several marked
incidents during his occupancy of the
presidential chair, notably before the
battles Of Antietam, Fredericksburg
and Gettysburg.
On the morning Of the memorable
18th of April he Informed members of
his cabinet that he had dreamed this
same thing the night before and be-
lieved that they were on the threshold
of some momentoLs issue, So i'm
pressive were his remarks that his
auditors were profoundly moved, but
no seer among them could read the
warning Alright and foresee the awful
news of his assassination which should
be flashed that night to a stunned and
Mortified people-Philadelphia Ledger.
