SiIsue Good For Sheep.

1t is my opinion that silage can be
fed to sheep with satisfactory results.
The use of moldy or frozen silage may
cause trouble, but good, clean. bright
silage can be used with excellent re-
suits either as a succulent food for
breeding ewes in winter or as a cheap
but satisfactory and efficient rough
ness for fattening sheep and lambs.
This opinion is based partially on OBJ
servations of f1ocks which have been
fed and partially on the experiments
| have made. The results to date
point toward siIage as cheap and
valuable feed for sheep-Ellis Rail.

Tryinu to Raise Grain Yield

THE average yield of grains in this
country is low and in some sections is
growing lower says DR.. B. T. Gal
loway of the United States department
of agriculture. with the rapid disap-
pearance Of available land in the west
for grain production the question of
increasing yields is becoming more and
more vital. The bureau has recognized
the Importance Of extending the grain
area into sections where these crops
are not now generally grown and
where there is promise of their wider
utilization. The regions where the
greatest effort is being made in this di-
rection are in the semiarid west and in

was showing Il sure sign of entangle-
ment-piGue Then he made some re-
mark in Il tone too low to be heard ex-
| cept by Miss Overander, vhereupon
| she haughtily turned her back on him.
This was near the close Of the din
her. When the guests were departing
Mrs. Hunniman asked Mr.. Lupton how
he was pleased with the lady she had
assigned him for the evening. His re-
ply was a snort and an angry turning
away. AS Miss Overiander came down
| from the ladies' cloakroom she receiv-
ed the same question with regard to
| Mr.. Lupton. "Delighted.' was her re-
ply in a tone calculated to freeze the
marrow in the bones of the questioner.
When the last guests were departing

with a blank look on his face and
whispered to his wife:
My dear, what do you think?

Now, the departure of the newly in
PRODUCED couple was seen by two men
of the party who were starting for

followed in their carriage. Two hours
later they returned to the Hunniman
mansion and called for the head of the

STRANGE AFRICAN DOGS.
Mountain Genius Raised Regiment of
Those That Fooled Soldiers,

During the Spanish campaign in Mo-
rocco year or so ago mention was
made of the fact that the natives
dressed regiments of dogs in capes and
military caps and sent them forth into
the field. where in the long grass they
were mistaken by the enemy for SOL
diers creeping or lying in great num-
bers ready to take aim.
These dogs. says Harpers Weekly.
were raised by a. mountaineer who
makes a speciality of training dogs for
the chase. numbers Of which he has

two dozen of these dogs, which. though
small in stature, are swift runners and
eager hunters. with scent that is said
to be most unusual. This mountaineer
makes it q business to collect young
and starving dogs and to raise them
for sale and has recently attained to
the official dignity Of game master in
the particular part Of Morocco where
he has long had his home.

Many are the schemes evolved for
the wild dogs destruction. but his cap

in trying to catch dngos. men who
have studied every aspect of their work
and who spare no pains and avoid no

Though the dingo is met with from
time to time in almost every part OF
the Australian bush. his principal habi-
tat is the rough range country in the
center and north of New South Wales
and the deep. dark scrubs of Queens
land.
The dog trapper'S life is of the lone
Hest kind. For weeks perhaps months,
he camps in the desolate ranges. set

shot at his enemy. In the bush there
is a price on the head Of every dingo.

his cunning and swiftness in changing
quarters, the dingo holds his own in

so for many day to come, even
though the price upon his head-already
generous one-should be doubled or
trebled.

Mrs Hunnimans home and presented
a letter of introduction to her. her first
thought was how to present him to so
ciety, the second how to present him
with a wife She determined to invite
the social leaders to meet him at am;
ner and to give him for Il table com
panion lady, also newcomer. IN
whose social preferment she took
deep interest.
Mr. LlptOn was q man OF forty, IN
telectual good looking. well to do ana

except that he was vouch"d for in the

for ANYTHING else than Il gentleman
Miss Overander. whom Mrs. Hunni-
man designed for Mr.. Lupton's wife
was thirty-two years old and still
beautiful woman But Il friend of Mrs.
Hunniman told some one. who told 9th
ers. that Miss Overlander was not Miss
Oyerlander at oil.
When the dinner guests were assem-
bed in the drawing room Mrs. Hunnl-
man took Mr.. LuptOn's arm and led
him to the lady beside whom he was
to sit at table There was something
50 distinguished in both Mr.. Lupton's
and Miss Overlanders person and
manner that the hum of conversation
ceased, and all eyes were fixed upon
the couple Both bowed low, the man
made some casual observation, the
woman replied by an asserting nod,
the guests resumed their chat, and not
long afterward all passed into the din
ing room.
There is one thing that matchmakers
who are real matchmakerS never do.
They carefully abstain from any word
or act that will intimate their inten-
lions to the objects Of their designs.
Mrs. Hunniman had thus abstained in
the present case. though it had been
WHISPERED among the dinner guests
that she had intentions concerning Mr..
Lupton and Miss Overlander, and dur
ing the dinner the couple were the re-
cipients Of curious glances. The con-
versatiOn between the two seemed at
first a trifie constrained. and Mrs. Hun
niman was not especially encouraged

soon found themselves forced to enter
