Sllaqe for Steers.

The use OF silage for fattening beef
cattle has been tested at 4 number of
experiment stations and by stockmen
with excellent results. In experiments
conducted by the writer in 1904. IL
was found that silage-fed steers sold
at s4.95 per 100 pounds. while those
fed no silage brought only $40 per
100 pounds, gain of rs cents in favor
of the silage fed animals. II was
found that for every 100 pounds of
gain. AL pounds of silage-fed saved
IS pounds of grain and 1856 pounds

PHOTOGRAPHIC ON APPLES
How Pictures or Words Are Printed
by Nature on tho Growing
Fruit.

Occasionally much interest ID
aroused by the appearance in a fruit
store Of a few apples on which appear
perfect photographs, not pasted on
but apparently in the skin OF the fruit
itself.
Though interesting, the method Of
making picture apples is simple and
not at all difficult II the fruit is Of a
ed variety. Just before the apple be-
gins to turn a Photographic film is
fastened about 1t In such a manner
that it will not move and blur the pic
ture. The foliage is then removed so
that the apple is exposed to the direct
rays of the sun and nature does the
printing. The prints are clear, sharp
and perfect in every way, except that
depth OF tone is lacking. If 1t is de-
sired to brand a name or words on the
fruit black paper should be used in.
stead of the film, the desired letters
being cut out.
Probably some clever advertiser will
take advantage of this method some
day, and we may be handed an apple
on which is attractively etched some
thing like IF T Give You Pains Take

Peculiar Land Law.

Corfu, where a magnificent marble
palace belonging to the German en-
peror has just been purchased by an
American millionaire, can boast of the
most peculiar land laws in the world.
The landlords are nearly all absentees,
and their tenants hold the land on a
perpetual lease in return for a rent
payable in kind and fixed at a certain
proportion Of the produce.
Such a tenant is considered a co.
owner Of the soil, and he cannot be
expelled, except for nonpayment OF
rent, bad culture, or the transfer OF
his lease without the landlords con
sent, neither a his rent be raised
without his permission. ATTEMPTS
have been made to alter the law, but
both landlord and tenants are D
emily satisfied with a system that
dates back to the time of Homer =
