BLACK CATS IN BIG DEMAND
Fur Is Used in Making Ladies' Cloaks.
Hats, Muffs, Capes and
Other Articles.

The market value of black cats is
rising rapidly, owing to the fact that
their fur is greatly in demand for
the making of ladies' cloaks, hats,
muffs. capes and other articles OF
dress. In the London fur market at
tractive prices are being paid for
black cat skins: in fact, the price is so
very attractive that organized gangs
of cat thieves are going from town
to town on the south coast of England
in search of dusky felines.
Within the past week or two the
Lost" columns of newspapers In
New York and elsewhere have record
ed the disappearance of some fine
black cats. family pets, for the re-
turn of which large rewards and mo
questions asked" were offered. OF
course there may be no connection
between the increasing value of black
cats and. the disappearance of family
pets, but the owners of black cats
may be acting wisely in keeping an
eye on "Tppsy" or Smut" until the
market price for black cat fur touches
rock bottom.

perity of an agricultural community
is more closely identified with her than
with any other of the domestic ami
mails. The horse is quite essential in
tilling the soil, but where necessity re-
quires in the sturdy son of the COW can
take his place. as he has done in every
agricultural section on earth. The
horse can only furnish labor and can
only return profit to his owner when
conditions are right for returning sat
fsfactory grain crops. 1t is a well
known fact that the dairy COW is the
salvation of the farmer in times of
poor crops. as she is able to convert
the rough crops which are never a to-
tai failure into dairy products which
always have cash value.
In addition to this she furnishes
skimmilk and butter for the calves.
pigs and poultry and fertility for the
soil. without which farm becomes
less prosperous.
The elimination of the dairy cow
would necessitate an almost revOlu
tionary readjustment of mans tastes
md requirements. 1t would mean un-
tC d suffering and hardship. OF course
she will not be dispensed with, but her
value can perhaps best be appreciated
Ey contemplating such loss.
She will continue to be mans best
friend as long as the human family
exists and will keep on supplying him
with his greatest needs inst as she has
done through all the ages.

Proner Horse Equipment.

Good. strong harnesses and durable
farm implements increase the efficien-
cy of the work horses. The horse that
has well fitted and properly ADJUST
ed harness can do more and better
work than one that is compelled to
wear a poorly fitted. dflapidated har-
ness to annoy and irritate him every
step he takes while at work. Strong
and dura BILE implements reduce break
age to a minimum and avoid delays
required to make repairs during the
busy season. Fly nets are necessary
during the summer if the horses are to
hold their flesh and the drivers their
temper. They are not an expensive
luxury and will last long time if well
cared for.

HOW THE SILO HELPS.

BY means Of the silo more of
the food value of forage can be
saved than by any other method
of preservation
The silo affords the means of
keeping in small compass a
large quantity of forage safe
from the weather aud in con-
venient form to feed.
Forage placed in ,ne silo keeps
at uniform quality, whereas
field cured forage constantly de-
teriOrates.
Considering the food value
saved. the silo affords the cheap
est means for forage preserva-
tiOn.
Because of the palatability
and succulence silage possesses
higher feeding value than does
the same forage dry cured. Con-
seryatiye feeders estimate that
the silo doubles the value of the
forage crop.
Silage can be used in summer
and fall to supplement pasture.
1t has been conclusively prov
ed that the silo effects consid-
erable saving in the cost of pro-
duction of beef. mutton and
milk.
The silo enables the farmer
to keep more live stock. which
J promotes the rotation of crops
and the preservation of soil fer
tility.

AN INFLATED INDUSTRY

Indications seem to point to a
collapse, in the not far distant
future, of the automobile indus
try. The automobile, in charge
of the right persons who can af-
ford to use it and operate it SEN
sibly, is a desirable article. In
the hands of the near rich and
the careless, inefficient driver, it
is a menace, not only to life
and limb but to the financial in
terests of the country.
1t costs money to buy gas
wagon" and then the purchas-
er's troubles have only just be-
gun. The bills for repairs, sup
plies and care of a machine
mount up at an alarming rate.
1t is safe to say that even a small
machine cannot be operated at
less than $500 a month, count
ing time for keeping it in condi-
ton. An owner may clean and
look after his machine himself
but is not his time worth some,
thing: If he does not do it him
self, he has to hire it done.
There is no piece of machinery
that deteriorates so rapidly in
value as does the automobile.
A machine that can be purchased
for 81, 10000 cash cannot be sold
the following season for more
than $4,000, while the depreci
alton in value of the higher
priced machines is far more ap-
palling.
The number of men who Sc
cure and operate automobiles
who cannot afford it is legion.
Any number of city clerks on
salaries of $4,000 or $4,000 a
month who are trying to pay for
their homes, mortgage what they
have in sight to get machine,
and are then unable to meet their
bills for repairs and gasoline
It is simply a question of time
and but q little of that before
these machines will revert to the

About six months of age is the prop
