Is due to the fact that for hundreds
OF years the feeders and breeders Of
these older countries have realized
the value of the use of good sires and
have continued through many genera
tons to breed their animals up to the
point of their present excellence. But
they have been assisted greatly by
their methods of feeding in that they
have resorted to formulating a. ration

from the feed given him will result.

judgment In Feeding

silage; therefore it requires eight
times as much storage space in the
hay NOW to store one ton of feed as
it does in the silo. However, corn
silage contains 80 per cent. of water
and for this reason the silo will not
contain as great an amount of dry
matter in comparison, but we do find
that one cubic foot of silo space con-
tatns a. much dry matter as two
cubic feet in the hay NOW, and re-
duced to terms of digestible feeding
nutrients. which in reality is the
standpoint from which all foodstu1fs
should be figured, we find that one
cubic foot of silage space will hold as
many digestible feeding nutrients as
two and one-third cubic feet of space
in the hay NOW. In consequence, II
we were to build a hay NOW that
would hold as much feed as 100-ton
silo, it would be necessary to build
barn with a storage space for 800 tons
Of hay, or If we were to supply the
same storage capacity as is found in
a 100-ton silo for the storage of dry
matter, barn with a capacity of 200
tons of hay would be necessary. Fig
uring further, If we were to build
barn with the capacity for holding d.
gestible feeding nutrients in amounts
as great as could be stored In 100
ton silo, it would be necessary to
build barn with the capacity to hold
233 1-3 tons Of clover hay. This win
ter in particular demonstrates more
clearly than most winters the value of
a silo and the feeding nutrients that
can be saved through its use. 1t was
estimated that in the middle Of Janu-
airy there was remaining in the corn
fields OF the corn belt from 20 to
rs per cent. of this last years crop
which could not be harvested on ac-
count of the severe snowy weather.
AS result of this. much Of this years
crop of corn was ruined and
wasted. One Of the largest corn rails

To accomplish the most profitable
results from the dairy herd judgment
must always be used in selecting and
preparing the feeds which compile the
ration. It is not new idea that
cheap feeds are oftentimes more st1m-
ulat1ng to great results than are those
feeds which sell for high prices. There
was a time when the feeder Of tho
corn belt was misled into believing
that there were certain feeds that II
fed In small amounts had the power
OF producing great results. Conse-
Quently he was led to purchase In
large amounts patent stock foods
which cost him anywhere from 500
to $500 per ton. Ten years ago there
were thousands of tons of such feed
sold annually, but greatly to the credit
of the present-day farmer and feeder,
there Is being very little of this food
sold at the present time. The farmer
realizes that all foodstuffs are made
up of the same kinds of nutrients;
namely. protein, carbohydrates. fat
and mineral matter. The only Diff
ference between any of these feeds is
In tho proportion of these different
nutrients. When the patent stock
foods were analysed it was found that
they contained less protein, or the
most expensive feeding nutrient, than

sold for the purpose of forming bal

chief value of the stock foods rested.
uf course, in their stimulating and ap-
petizing power. In other words, these
foods had the power Of adding palata-
bility to the ration, but the intelli-
gent. successful feeder of today finds
1t possible to SO mix his ration as to
make 1t sufficiently palatable without
the use Of these condiments costing
eight or ten cents per pound.
Six Points to Consider in Feeding.

A 1ernhardt Trick.

Nine. Sarah Bernhard, who is sup
posed to be something of an artist an
we'll as an actress, was recently call
ed upon in one Of her marvellous crea-
tons to enact the role of a sculptor,
and to model certain bust in view of
the audience. This fairly electrified
the critics, but when going into rhap-
sodies over the technical skill in ham
ding the clay which Nine. Bernhard
exhibited they showed that they knew
little of the artistic tricks of actors
and actresses; as matter Of fact, she
does nothing of the kind. The bust
is modelled and baked. and over it IL
placed damp clay of the same color.
This the talented actress merely pulls
of, exposing the beautifully modelled
head underneath.

CHARACTER SEEN IN PIPES
The Activity Of a Race 10 Proportional
to Length Of Stems OF
Their Pipes.

M. de VAUDEVILLE of Paris is COL
lector of pipes, and his study OF the
question has enabled him to Judge peo-
pie by their pipes.
The pipe. he tells us, is characterts-
tic of the race. while the cigar and
cigarettes are cosmopolitan. The &C.
tivity of a race is proportional to the
length of the stem of their pipes.
The shorter the pipes the more la
borious the people. and, inversely. the
longer the pipe the more slothful the
people. The more economic the people
the shorter the pipe stem, and. in
versely, the more prodigal the race
the more gluttonous it is-the bigger
is the bowl of the pipe. His last de-
duction regarding the smoking of
pipes is perhaps the most unassailable.
It is:

First and most characteristic are the
flower figures; second, the trained
plant figures; third, the blooms. At
these shows the blooms really are the
last of the three points Of interest.
The flower figures are usually of
the size of life. They consist of a
light framework made of an open
basketwork of withes. These are sup
piled with heads, hands and feet of
modelled composition. The frame
work is closely filled and covered with
moss, leaves, uchens and crysanthe-
mum blooms. The flowers generally
used are small and chiefly of three
colors-purple, white and yellow. The
foundation of the clothing is usually
green or gray MOSES or hchens; the
embroidery and patterns on them are
in the colored flowers. These figures
are usually grouped In tableaux, which
have suitable background. The fig
ures themselves are 50 posed and
placed as to have considerable real.
ism and lifelike appearance. In most
cases, nine out of ten at least. they
represent some scene from national
history, tradition or mythology. The
noted heroes of the past. beautiful
and famous ladies, the gods them
selves are those who here are shown.
