The Useful SIIo.

The silo Is text which is always inspiring to the man who knows it's value and it cannot be preached from too often, writes s. c. Miller. Wher- ever it is seen it denotes farming It solves the problem of turning into the highest efficiency that portion of the corn crop which fails to reach the desired maturity as feed. The silo can be filled at less expense than the same amount of dry feed can be cared for and it makes better feed This is, after all. the main point to con- slider. Dairymen have learned that when COWS are kept in the stable for five to seven months they cannot re- turn as satisfactory profits if they are confined to a ration of dry feed alone. Ensilage gives succulence and is very much easier to masticate and digest than dry corn fodder. There Is also great saving of labor in feeding en- silage, over feeding dry corn fodder. The initial expense keeps many silo from decorating the landscape. but it is good practice to economize in other directions to provide for it. Once built and rightly built 1t will not have to be renewed for many years. so the cost is spread out so thinly that it cuts no great figure in the business of feeding

foods, and the next week the house keepers nocked to see a triangle oi green peppers outlined with a vivid line of red peppers. while behind them was an orderly row of young cabbages each topped by . tomato. A little sign told the housekeepers that now was the time for making pickles. and that a choice receipt for such pickles would go with each order of vegetables
 The receipt was written on cards in Celeste's neat hand, and c. Smith told her radiantly that night that ev- erything was sold.
 But I don't see what you are mak- ing out of it." he said
 '1 am having the fun" said Ce- leste. ''I like to think of the window work as a study in still life. And I like to know that I can attract cus- tom; it gives me sense of power"
 But c. Smith was thinking, and the next day he made suggestion. Look here," he said, you make some of your creole soup. Lots of my custom CTS would like to have it. I can tell them that you will have it here hot in porcelain pails at twelve o'clock. You ought to earn something that way"
 And that was the beginning of C.. Smiths delicatessen department and Of Celeste's success. And when, the day before Thanksgiving, the wonder full window was gorgeous with it's cir cle of crimson cranberries, it's gold of lemons and oranges, Celeste's master piece. a great roast turkey, stuffed with chestnuts and laid on blue plat ter, had the place of honor.
 AS the business grew. she hired a helper, and the creole soup, delectable little pots of baked beans and baked ham were served on alternate days. c. Smith took in a bright boy to wait on the customers who thronged the counter. There was no fy-speckled untidiness. and although Celeste was rarely in evidence, her influence was over it all.
 c. Smith even swung a new sign in the place of the shabby one. and pros perity reigned.
 And the best of it is," said Celeste. as she made plans for the summer which was to give her mother a trip to the mountains. "the best of it is that when we come back I shall study painting"
 And then you'll have your chance" said Letitia.
 But Celeste smiled My chance came" she said, with the pumpkins and pineapples in C.-Smith's window. and with that first pitcher of grand mothers creole soup."-Youths Com panion

Fresh Manure.

Authorities say that fresh manure loses in the process of decay from 20 to 70 per cent of it's original weight Some tests conducted by the Cornell Experiment Station showed that two tons of horse manure exposed in a pile for five months lost 57 per cent of it's gross weight, 50 per cent of it's nitrogen. AT per cent of Its potash. Five tons of COW manure exposed for the same length of time in a compact pile lost. through teaching and dis5i- patton of gases, 49 per cent in gross weight. Al per cent of it's nitrogen, 19 per cent of its phosphoric acid and per cent of its potash.
 A ton of average fresh horse ma nure from animals fed on ordinary balanced ration, contains about 10 pounds potash.

The following Is from the Almanac and Encyclopedia for 1910. published by the International Harvester Com pany:
 ''The greatest risk is always on the landlords side in the rental of prop erty He Is putting his property into the possession and care of another who may be a person of doubtful util ity. It Is we'll to observe these rules and cautions: Do not trust to a yer bal lease-let 1t be in writing. signed and sealed. It's stipulations then be- come commands and can be enforced. Let 1t be signed in duplicate, so that each party may have an original.
 Be careful in selecting your tenant. There is more in the man than there is in the bond. Insert such covenants as to repairs. manner of use. and in restraint of waste as the circum- stances call for. As to particular stip- lstions examine leases drawn by those whc have had long experience in rent ing farms, and adopt such as meet your case. There should be covenants against assigning and undertaking.
 If the tenant is of doubtful respon- sibility, make the rent payable in in- stallments. A covenant that the crops shall remain in the lessor's till the lessee's contracts with him have been fulfilled is valid against the lessee's creditors. In the ordinary case of renting farms on shares the courts will treat the crops as the joint prop erty of lord and tenant. and thus pro tect the formers rights. Every lease should contain stipulations for forfeit -Ure and re-entry in case of non-pay- ment or breach of any covenants.

WHY BEAUTIES WED PLAIN MEN
WOmnn Says Thnt They Are More
 Faithful thnn Handsome Ones.


 Faithful thnn Handsome Ones.
 Did you ever ponder over the prob lem of why pretty girls marry plain men? A lady has thought the matter out, and thinks the girl who selects a plain or even ugly mate is wise, Lon. don Tit-Bits says.
 The wise girl, she asserts. is perfect ly aware that the ugly man will make a far better husband than the Adonis who is adored by every feminine be holder Of his charms. The ugly man is so frequently accustomed to being ignored or slighted by the empty-head- ed but good-looking woman that the sensible girl who is able to see below the surface at once finds faithful ad- mirer and grateful slave.
 Compliments from the plain man are of far more value than the easy flat tery of the much-sought-after hand through reason of opportunity and ad- equate practice. And not being so run after" the man lacking in outward charms is less likely to cause his wife jealous bangs or feelings of loneliness at the sight of an empty chair and a torn dress tie.
 Cgly men who marry pretty women are always far prouder of their wives than the romantic Romeo Of girlish dreams. The former feel grateful to the beautiful wife, while the latter imagine that the debt of honor is on the woman they have condescended to we'd All women are naturally attract ed to good looks, and the man who is fair to look upon is more tempted to pose as a bachelor if the chance of a summer filtration arises than his brother of homely physical fascina- tionS
 The girl who marries an ugly man can be certain that her love is not mere fancy of the moment rising out of her admiration for a well-cut nose and chiseled mouth. The love a girl bestows on an ugly man is deeper, more lasting and more worthy of the name than the quickly given and easy spent affection of the woman who ig nores the faults of the handsome lover and considers only the shapeliness of his hands. the color of his hair. and the lovely voice." as he warbles soul stirring sentimental compositions.
 Plain men generally marry early in life, as soon as funds will permit, while the good-looking males prefer to enjoy the fun a little longer, and to bask in the admiring glances and pleased smiles of the maidens upon whom they bestow their patronage.

 C. Smith flushed with pleasure. "You come right up and see mother" be said. so Celeste climbed the stairway haltingly. and came into the bright room above.
 C. Smiths mother warmed the soup at once. Charles will like it for his | lunch," she quavered. with a smile that matched c. Smiths own for | cEeeriness.
 And presently. when Celeste went downstairs, the owner of the shop said to her. How do you like the win dow?' Celeste looked at it somewhat dubiously.
 The fy-speclled cracker boxes were l bles were in jrmbIed mass that did not tempt the eye. Tt is better" she said. but it isn't best
 T know c. Smith admitted. but somehow I haven't the hang of that sort of thing
 Celeste had an inspiration. "If you will let me come early in the morn ing she said. before many people are On the street. will fix it for you"
 'I couldn't trouble you." he protest ed. but the look in his eyes said. "I wish you would"
 Tt wouldn't be any trouble" Ce- leste insisted. q could sit on the box a.d direct you. And I am under a lot of obligations to you. You always give me more meat on the soup bone than just a dimes worth, and yester- day 1 saw the prices on the okra in other windows. and you couldn't pos sibly nave afforded to give me all that you did for a nickel"
 He flushed at that "oh. wanted to do it, he said. simply. T guess a man has right to do as he pleases."
 So has a woman" said Celeste, with her crooked smile, and I'll be here very early in the morning"
 The next day people coming along the village street stopped to gaze into C. Smiths window. There was noth- ing there but pumpkins and pine apples. But the pumpkins were ter raced in even rows, and between each pumpkin was placed symmetrically pineapple. and the gold of the pump kins and the russet and dull green of rhe pineapples were matched by the tibts of the autumn leaves which framed the window.
 C. Smith sold all the pumpkins and all the pineapples. and the next morn ing people again stopped and stared. to behold a great block of ice, hollow ed to hold a quart or more of luscious oysters.
 A wreath of green hid the shallow pan in which the ice was placed; be- yond this was another wreath of eel cry. while fianking the whole, boxes o: crackers and bottles of catsup and sauces suggested the appropriate ac- compartment to such feast

Incubator. and Brooder..

The only way to raise chickens in large numbers in a short space of time and have them at the right time to Get the biggest prices for them is to use incubators and breeders. By the use of the hen for matching and brood ing, enough chickens can not be raised in a season to make it pay. Many of n:y customers tell me that they would rather take care of 100 chicks in a brooder than to care for one old hen ana her brood. You can set as many eggs in a medium-sized incubator as you can put under ten sitting hens. With the machines you have absolute control at all times. No lice to fight. No danger of eggs being broken or chilled during incubation Eggs and chicks perfectly safe at all times. No work at all compared with the work that ten fussy old hens would cause you.-Agricultural Epitomist.

Bridge Grating.

Where trees are found girdled in the spring. the only method of saving them Is by the practice of what is known as bridge-grafting
 If young trees be girdled in late spring just as growth is beginning, they may be successfully treated by binding about the wounded parts a heavy covering of smooth. tenacious. soft clay. It is safer. however, to in- sert a few long scions, as shown in the accompanying picture. The sap circulation Of the tree. cut of by the wound made by the rodents. is re- sumed through the scions, which be- come a part of the tree -enlarging and growing together until. in after years, only a slight enlargement or bulge" on the trunk of the tree thus treated will be noticeable.

PouItrx PickIngs.

Watch closely and mark the heL that is laying an egg each day. She is the kind you want to perpetuate in the flock.
 Weed out the hens that lay the small-sized eggs. They are the un- profitable ones and never will i'm prove the quality of the flock.
 There are some poultrymen who ad- vocate bullets for breeders instead of yearling hens. It is generally found that well-developed fowls make the most prolific breeders.
 If you have both bullets and old hens in your flock keep close watch and see which one is laying the most eggs. A little knowledge along this line may assist next season in select ing a flock of winter layers.

The Asparagus Beetle.

This is a troublesome pest and hard to fight. Clean cutting. especially in ridge culture. keeps them well under control in spring. but considerable harm is done later on by slugs or larvae. Poultry are very fond of these beetles, and a few fowls will soon capture the matured insects if allowed in a garden bed. An extensive grower of asparagus in Massachusetts finds that most of the beetle eggs have been sucked dry and destroyed by a species of small fly, which has made it's ap- pearance for the first time in large nnmbers this year.

Cost of Feed.

During an experiment in Cornell University a few years ago the aver age feed cost for eggs throughout the year was about cents per dozen. Other experimenters give the cost of eggs in winter at 15 cents per dozen and in summer S1a cents- Under the present prices of feed eggs would cost about 12 cents per dozen. but it must be remembered that on the farm the hen picks up the most part of her liv- ing from the waste material that Is scattered over the farm. so that the cost of a dozen eggs is a very small item of cash outlay.
