siIaas Good for Sheen.

Exhaustive tests ct the Indiana ex- pertinent station demonstrate that good silage. used judiciously, is a splendid winter food for sheep. Sup plying, as it does. an item of succu- lent food, so necessary for the welfare of sheep, 1t is often available when cabbage, roots. etc. are not available. It has an excellent effect upon the digestive system and general health of feeble lambs. In this experiment, ewes fed on rations in which a lib- sral amount of silage was included showed a gain of 20 pounds while those fed similarly without silage gained only 151z pounds. Those fed on silage consumed on an average seven per cent. less grain and about S2 per cent. less clover hay than the others confined to dry feed. and there was also a noticeably heavier coat of wool on the silage fed sheep.
 Care should be exercised in feed Ing sheep that too much silage Is not given them. and above all. that none which has been frozen should get with In their reach. The ration should be balanced with alfalfa or clover nay, and small feed of dry grain.

CHURCH TO RUN PICTURES
Plan by Which a Colorado congresa- ton Hopes to Compete With the
 NIckeIodeon.

Grand Junction, Colo.-The Presby- terian church here has evolved a plan to put the Sunday moving picture shows out of bushes. At meeting of the church trustees. the Rev. Dr. Luther Edwards, the pastor. was au- thorized to buy a machine with the necessary films. Shows will be held on Sunday all day. except during serv- Ices and until 10:30 o'clock at night The public will be admitted ire.
 Instead of films showing train rob berries, suggestive love scenes, or sup posedly humorous events, the church machine will be utilized entirely for education and religious purposes. All leading historical episodes will be H. frustrated. Moving pictures will be used to illustrate sermons and lee lures and all will have an educational value
 By this means it Is hoped that the picture show theaters will be forced to close on Sunday or else meet the competition offered by the church tree.

CROPS NOT MADE OF HUMUs
pr. Hopkins of IIIInoIs Station Die peIs Common DeIusIon-NItrogen
 10 the Key. |.

Dr. Hopkins of the Illinois station explains the peculiar work of humus in the soil. dispeIling a common de- fusion. as follows:
 Many people have a notion that humus is the great factor in crop production, and that if a farmer had good humus he could grow a good crop. This is one of the greatest mis- takes in agriculture. Crops are not made of humus. Humus, for its own sake. furnishes nothing to feed plants. It is merely tool to help make plant food available, to help hold moisture and nberate plant food. It has no part in feeding plants so long as 1t remains humus.
 "Deeaying organic matter Is con- fused with humus. Organic matter includes the vegetable and animal matter that accumulates in the soil. Humus is the part of organic matter that is resistant to decay, the part that remains of organic matter after 1t has lost its form. Humus is the black mass in which you cannot tell cornstaIk. oat straw, or what 1t was.
 "Decaying organic matter is of very much more value than humus. It is the action you get in the process of making humus that is most valuable. The humus itself is very inactive; 1t has been in the soil for hundreds of thousands of years and will remain there yet
 ''The key to the humus problem is nitrogen If you will maintain the supply of nitrogen in the soil you need never give thought to humus"

Wrenches Himself Ere When Almost Drowned-His Finees Were Bad Iy Lacerated by the Shell

 He succeeded in wrenching himself loose with badly torn digits and now the gentle one-shelled mollusc is a thing of terrible menace to him.
 There have been many tales and traditions up and down the California coast of how fishermen and others have groped along the bottom when the tide was low. how they have had their hands caught in the terrible grip of the abalone, how they were held as the tide rose higher and high CT until they drowned or how they desperately chopped of the impris- oned member to get free.

NEW RIBBONS FOR MILLINERY
They Are Very Wide and Soft, De-
 signed for the Making of Hat

The new millinery ribbons are enor- mously wide and soft, for bows made of taffeta are really smarter than rib bon. and the ribbon makers have had to get out special widths to please the women who prefer to make big hat bows of conveniently finished ribbon rather than hem and wire silk bows. The graceful bows are arranged at front, back or side of the hat. accord ing to the requirement of its shape or its wearer's fancy. The big bow across the back Is undeniably youth ful and girlish in suggestion, though the bow in front is more becoming to certain types of face. Trimming at the side should only be worn by wom- en who can stand dashing and jaunty effects.
 Taffeta Is the millinery silk par ex- cellence just now, and the new coiora are delectable- gray reds called raspberry and cyclamen, rich olive and bronze greens; a sumptuoua American beauty rose and several shades of the vivid geranium red called coronation" There are two tone silks with jacquard weaves which make stunning bows. the velvet brim facing of velvet matching one of the shades; but perhaps the most beautiful of all the new millinery silks is the beau dor or gold skin. which is a glace silk woven of yellow threads which have a high gloss and glisten like gold. A cross weave of colored threads produces a most beautiful changeable effect, most often in stripes or vague East Indian" patterns.

B, "A trials on the part of devotees
 of the automobile, the problem of the hat for driving appears to have Dolved itself in a compromise he- tween hat and bonnet shapes. The veil. which is as essential as the hat, ls usually not fastened to it, but re- movable. There are, however, num- berS of auto hats shown, in which the veil forms a part of the trimming. They are designed for long runs and bours, not for short excursions.- By lar the better plan for those who buy but one hat of this kind is that of wearing a removable veil Such hats are suited to other wear and, there lore, more practical than those in which the veil Is part of the trim ming.
 Speaking of veils, 1t is too bad that anything so beautiful and beautify- mg should be worn in an unbecoming, not to say dishguring, manner.

KENTUCKY'S NEXT SENATOR

The next senator from Kentucky will no doubt be Representative Ollie M. James, as his Democratic opponent, Senator Paynter. retired from the pri- mary contest
 Ollie James IS the biggest man physically in the house. He won fame as an attorney in the Goebel murder case in Kentucky, being one of the lawyers for the prosecution of Caleb Powers. It is something of a coinci- dence that both James and Powers are now members of the house, the one a Democrat and the other a Re publican.
 In that murder case James also won a reputation for physical courage, for the times were stirring and there were threats of violence going around, so that anyone prominent upon either side of the case was in physical dan ger James would have made a good target for any bullet, as there is so much of him to shoot at, but he went through the prosecution in a manner [ a good nerve and was not to be de-
