Watson Goes to Europe.

We just received a letter from
Watson, Woods Bros. & Kelley Co. of
Lincoln, Nebraska, stating that Mr..
Watson had started back to Europe
for the third importation of horses
this fall and winter. They report a
very successful season so far and If
the demand keeps up they will be able
to sell great many more stations
this year than last and that is saying
considerable because they we're sold
out last year by the middle of April.
We have known this firm for a great
many years and can heartily recon-
mend them to our readers. They sell
good horses. You ought to write for
their new catalog. 1t is the finest
book they have ever gotten out. 1t
is filled with photographs and in
teresting facts about their big inn
porting establishment which is one
of the largest in the United States.
Besides this handsome catalog, print
ed in three colors, they have issued
a book called "Four Yards of Evi-
dence.'' 1t IS nicely gotten up and
contains hundreds of letters from

balanced ration from the feed that
you have named because they are all
high in protein, we suggest that you
add some oat hay if you can get it,
mixed clover and oat to gether, or as
you say you can grow peas and oats
we suggest that you feed some of
that. You might also add some oats
to the grain ration in order to supply
some carlo hydrate which are de-
ficient in the feed which you have
named. We would feed from twelve
to eighteen pound of the mixture of
clover and oat hay and mix your grain
hay as follows: One part brewers
grains, two parts bran, four parts,
ground oats or ground barley. Feed
one pound Of this to every four
pounds of milk the COW produces
daily.
For a herd of seven or eight COWS
you would need a slio about ten feet
in diameter and about twenty four
feet in height and this may be built
of wood, brick or cement. The ma
terial you should have will depend on
the cost of same in your particular
locality. A good solid concrete silo
can be built for approximately two
hundred and twenty-five dollars. A
cement plastered silo will cost about
sixty dollars or less, while an all wood
silo of the stave construction can be
built for about one hundred and
twenty-fi five dollars. You may be able
to do even better than this in your
locality.
A dairyman in Whatcom county,
WASH, built stave silo out OF ma
ter1al which he had made at a local
mill and put it up for total cost of
ninety seven dollars. This, however,

such anecdotes as the foregoing. Death is
always tragedy. TO extract from it laugh
involves whimsicality. Such an undertak-
ing is characteristically American. Queer
epitaphs are so welcome that one vaudeville
entertainer made them his stock in trade
for wears. Those he invented were never
half so enthusiastically received by his audi
ences as the real ones he quoted.

TT seems but Yesterday when the anecdote
of character had the right of way in these
United States. Together with the stage
Irishman and the mother in law wheeze, 1t
has passed on-and "Oh, the difference" TO
all Of us. For, whether or not the b'goSh
Joke was true to life, there was something
distinctly diverting about the figure 1t called
to mind
Material for a whole vaudeville sketch,
for instance, is suggested by the story of the
rival poultry farmers who meeting on the
highway, INDUCED in the following dialogue;
"NIornin', ST.
"Mornn', Hi
"Wha'd you give your chickens when they

PUT since the farmer has become the
- most opulent member of our body poll
tic and has bought barnful of touring cars,
he is of as little actual use to the professional
funny man as-well, as a Waterbury watch.

will pass before he becomes too sophisticated

A SELF STYLED student OF human nature

test for a sense of humOr. II consists OF a
certain story. Of whose mrth provoking
quality he is so we'll convinced that to ind
il other than a laugh compcller is to argue

follows:

mains of the very bald man for interment.

it is an interesting one by reason OF the
widely different effect it has upon hearers

delight from the instant Of the dGnoucmcnt
The proprietor of the tale argues that, as
with some cheeses, a little feeling of rcpug-
nance is essential to full enjoyment Of its
delicate flavor He is willing to admit, new
erthccss, that the sense OF humor Is not

Indicated quite outside the pale are those
individuals who blandly ask whether the

New-York tribune., 1912-03-24

any other equally unapprcCldtNe question.
They have failed TO react TO the test.
A SENSE Of humor is one Of the things
~ we refer to in daily conversation, but
find serious difficulty in defining. On some
equally vague qualities we possess compe-
tent opinions; on genius, tor instance, about
which critics have always differed and al
ways will, yet which the one universally
acknowledged genius Of the English race as
SureS us is something "tO madness near al
lied" But you shall search IN vain for an
explicit and authoritative comment on a
"scnSe of humor." No maker OF dictionaries
has ever pretended to know what 1t is: had
he known he would perhaps have followed
another calling. There is no history OF
humor in which you may trace the cvolu-
tion of this priceless possession from the
seed TO the ripe fruit OF today. Perhaps
humor antedates history itself, and was al
ready in the flower when a tcsty Babylonlan,
shattering on the solid ivory skull of fellow
citizen the baked brick that was the comic
weekly of his time, gave rise to the popular
phrase, Cracking joke.
Nor will everyone agree with the self
STYLED student of human nature as to the
infallibility of his acid test. Yet he is stand
ing on the threshold of a great truth. Even
if there were no other evidence in support
of that contention, it is proved by the popu-
larity in America of what may be called
mortuary anecdotes, of which the foregoing
and the following are fair examples:
MRS. BRONSON, a good hearted New
i'A England woman with an ineradicable
weakness for the faux pas, remarked one
afternoon to her daughter;
am going over to comfort-Mrs Drake.
You know Mr. Drake hanged himself in
their attic last night.
"Oh, don't 60, Mother!" protested the
younger woman. "You always say the
wrong thing
"Yes, Mary, feel it my duty to go, in
sisted Mrs. Bronson. "But I'll just talk
about the weather That's a perfectly safe
subject
Seated in Mrs brakes kitchen, she ven
tured, "What rainy weather we have had
lately!'
"Yes, indeed" replied the widow. al
haven't been able to get the weeks wash
dried
"Why, | shouldn't think you would have
any trouble, Mrs. Bronson returned. "You
have such a nice attic to hang things in
HUMOR involves sentiment and charac-
IL ter" wrote Giles. "Humor is of genial
quality, dwells in the same character with
pathos and is always mingled with sensbil-
ity." Yet not sentiment, not character, not
even sensibility, is the dominant note of
American humor; but whimsicality, and a
sense of humor as the phrase is understood
here, involves, if it does not wholly consist
