ADVANTAGES of SiIaoe,

To produce milk at low cost pas
turage or its equivalent is necessary.
To take the place of paSturage two
methods of getting green food can be
resorted to. The first being to grow
such crops as rye, wheat, oats. sOrg-
hum and corn. and cut these at the
proper time and feed TO the COW. The
second method is to put up green
food in such manner that it will
keep green the entire year and be
ready to feed at any season. To keep
green food all the year it is neces-
sary to keep ii air tight The most
convenient form in which to do this
is by use of the si.v. The silo may be
of brick. concrete, or wood (which
ever is most convenient to the build
er How To build and what to use
will be explained in detail if applica-
ton is made 10 the Dairy Division of
Clemson college. The requirements
for any silO being that when filled it
will be air tight and have great
enough depth so that the pressure of
the Silage will drive out all the air.
The material, such as corn and sorg-
hum of which most of the silage is
made. must be put into the Silo green.
If at all dry. water must be added for
unless il stays damp i'm the SilO it will
spoil.
Two advantages of the SilO is that
il gives supply of green food the
entire year and enables the farmer tn
put up a large amount of food in a
very small space. The cost of the SilO
will average about 81 To 81 per ton
capacity. The cost of putting the corn
or sorghum into the silo. counting all
cost of growing. will vary from 81 tn
81 per ton No dairyman can afford
To be without Il silO.

His Little Game.

A man who used to be i'm politics
and was a constant borrower found
himself i'm need of a new hat. But he
couldn't finy anybody who would lend
him a cent.
Finally he went to an acquaintance
and said:
Il want to borrow $50 for five min
utes."
You can have it If you will put up a
couple of fingers for security"
Mix. now; I've got scheme. You
lend me the fifty and you needn't LEI
me get out of your sight. If you dc
it I'll stake you to a new hat"
Mystified but curious, the acquaint-
ance agreed to this and the two re-
paired to a prominent hat store.
Wait a minute" said the adven-
turer, and left his backer doing sentry
duty on the sidewalk.
Picking out the most important
looking parsonage in the store the pol
itician went up to him and said:
"I am So-and-so of the - district
I have come to pay for two hats for
which | have given orders on you To
two of my constituents.
With that he flashed a $50 bill.
There was a scurrying around, a
search of books and a reply that no
such orders had been presented.
Just look out for them, will your
said the district leader, waving the big
bill, which was hypnotic in its way, for
the clerk bowed low and said yes.
Half an hour later two orders were
presented and two hats left the store

ALITTLE DIP INTO SPACE.
Distances From Earth to Stars That
Make Even lmaaination Gasp.

One of the greatest sources of the
fascination of the starry heavens is
the measurelessness of their abysses.
The ocean of space Is so pellucid that
we seem to see its spangled bottom,
but trigonometry is powerless to reach
1t. Here and there only some project
ing reef throws a star gemmed point
within touch Of the astronomer s
sounding line.
Such a spire. situated at a depth
hitherto unfathomed. has caught and
arrested the spectroscope plummet
flung into the abyss by the astrono-
mer Charles Nordmann, who has in
vented a new method of celestial
soundings. The glittering star crag
that he has hit is charted by astrono-
mers under the name Of Delta Librae
and the length of the mathematical
line which now hangs between 1t and
the earth makes the imagination it
self gasp.
1t Is two quadrillions of miles!
1t Is only step by step that one can
comprehend a number like that. Two
quadrillions of twenty dollar gold
pieces would make 100000 necklaces
each long enough to embrace the
earth and the moon in a double loop.
An express train travelling 100 miles
per hour and never stopping would
require more than $3.50, 900, 900 years
to go two quadrillions Of miles A
projectile flying 5000 feet per second
or i'm round numbers $4,000 miles per
day, would require about 100000
years to reach Delta Librae. Light,
the swiftest thing known-the swift
est thing that can possibly exist, If we
may trust recent calculations based
on the phenomenon Of radio-activity,
and that can make the round Of the
whole earth more than seven times In
a second-takes 355 years to come to
us from that star.
Yet Delta Librae lies In shallow
water. 1t Is gem cast up on shoal
and all around 1t the mighty deeps Of
the ether descend to profundities un-
thinkable. At ten times, a hundred
tllnes, perhaps thousaHu tihes ITO
depth, glitter the star sands Of the
Milky way. To our telescopes they
appear to lie on the very bottom,
drifted into heaps and curves by mys-
terious currents, but 1t cannot be the
real bottom even there. Beyond yawn
abysses so black with excess Of depth
that the stars themselves, great suns
that they are, fade to invisibility.-

The Meanest Man.-Two strangers
met at one of the small tables in a
dining car. They found a common
bond in the effort to secure something
to eat, and by the time the coffee came
they were on friendly terms.
II wonder if you will do me favor?'
said the first one, as he paid his bill.
The other man seemed receptive, and
the first one continued: Have you a
lower berth for tonight?" The man
across the table nodded. We'll, / am
travelling with my mother, who is
rather we'll along in life, and I am anx-
ious to make her comfortable. Would
you be willing to give her your berth"
Il should be delighted" responded
the stranger. They went back to the
sleeper, where the accommodating man
was presented to the others mother,
a white-haired old lady with a charm
ing face. The Good Samaritan had eX-
changed his lower berth for the upper,
belonging to the old lady, and was ra-
dating with a sense of kindness. 1t
led him to remark affably to the other
man, But where are you going to
sleep?"
"Oh, that's all right" was the an
swer, that's my lower berth over
there. ."-Mack's National Monthly.

Could Not Dismiss Them.-It is said
that once when Reginald De koven
was touring the country he found him
self in the town of Dayton on Sunday
They told Mr.. De Koven that an Epis-
copal church in the neighborhood had
a superb organ. Accordingly, he went
to that church, ascended the organ loft
and sat beside the organist during the
mornings service.
You seem to know something about
music" said the organist in a con-
descending way. I'll let you dismiss
the congregation, if you like"
why, yes," said Mr.. De Koven. i
would like that very much"
Accordingly, at the end of the recess
sional,. he exchanged places with the
organist and began to play Mendels-
sohn's Spring Song" He played beau
tifully. The Dayton people, enthralled
by the wonderful music, refused to de-
part. They sat in rapt enjoyment, and
after the Spring Song" was finished
Mr.. De Koven began something OF
Chopin. Suddenly heavy hand was
laid on his shoulder, and he was push
ed off the music stool.
You can't dismiss a congregation,
said the organist impatiently; watch
and see how soon I'll get them OUT

Strange As 1t May
Appear

Notwithstanding the fact that 1t has
been thoroughly demonstrated by
grueling Investigations and otherwise
during the past few years that all life
insurance companies are not about the
same" still there are individuals kere
and there who still pretend to believe
that they are about the same" 1t Is
not my purpose to try to argue with
that class, for the reason that life Is
too short. have no fault to find with
the individual who for any reason, pre-
fers to carry his insurance in a COM
pany that cannot point to clean
record from every standpoint cover
ing it's entire existence for a period Of
so years or more, and does not guar
antee as much, aside from its record,
as does the Mutual Benefit, because of
the fact that he pays the freight and
has the right to choose his route.
There Is no reason to doubt the fact
that any man who will make an intel
ligent and impartial investigation Of
the Mutual Benefits contracts, Its
record, etc, cannot be induced to ac-
cept a policy in any other company.
There Is really big difference In COM
panies, even among the best, and as
you. of course, really want to buy the
best, you will do well to let me show
you what the Mutual Benefit will do
for you.

MORMON CHURCH AND SUGAR.
Joseph Smith Gives Significant Testi-
mony Before Committee.

JeSepn .0TniIn SlN0S olSHiUSduk iOoe''
mony Before Committee.
The Mormon church is in the sugar
business for the benefit of its people
it sought Henry o. Havemeyer's hell
to extend it's sugar enterprises, not be.
cause he was Havemeyer, but because
his money would be for the benefit Of
the Mormon people; it regarded
Havemeyer not as an industrial pirate
but rather as a benefactor and In COM
bining with him in the beet sugar bus
mess the heads of the Mormon church
believe that no law of the United
States was violated.
This in substance was the declara'
ton to the house committee last Tues
day of Joseph F. Smith, president OF
the Mormon church and president oi
the Utah-Idaho Sugar company. He
was supported i'm his testimony by
Bishop Charles Nibley, business man.
ager of the Mormon church, who also
testified
Have you any official connection
with the Utah-Idaho Sugar Refining
company" asked Chairman Hardwick
II am president of the company" Mr.
Smith replied.
DO you own any stock?"
Yes, sir; l own about 5000 shares
individually"
DO you own any stock in a repre-
sentative capacity?"
Yes, / hold 49,S15 shares for the
church. The title Is held in the name
of Joseph F.. Smith, trustee"
Does the Utah-Idaho company pay
dividends?"
Yes, per cent"
Did the church ever go into part
nership with Henry o. Havemeyer?"
"The church never did, but the
stockholders did. We were striving tc
build up the beet sugar business In
Utah under very great difficulties. We
were anxious to obtain capital"
How was the deal with Havemeyer
approved?"
THE matter was presented to the
board of directors and they agreed tc
sell half the stock"
AT that time did the church take
legal advice as to whether the COM
bination with Mr.. Havemeyer was
lawful or unlawful?"
1.-The church did not, but the COM
pany consulted its attorneys, l think
as to the legality Of the deal. I am
not sure of that"
1T has appeared%to this committee
that Mr.. Havemeyer entered upon d
conquest of the sugar industry of the
United States" said Mr.. Madison. did
it occur to you that Mr.. Havemeyer
was entering upon a consolidation OF
the sugar business of the country and
that you were one of the pawns in the
game?"
mo, it never occurred to me-" Pres
ident Smith answered.
Mr.. Smith told of the opportunities
the sugar business gave the people OF
Utah for earning money and testified
that the Mormon tithe of 10 per cent
of the earnings, in prosperous years
amounted to $1,250,000 and $1,500,O00.
He thought this consolidation was
one of the greatest of blessings to the
people of Utah and Idaho.
