Selling Crops or SiIage?

Sometimes the remark is made that
it would be foolish to feed silage dur
ing the summer time. when it is pos
sible to feed the COWS green alfalfa,
green corn or other green crops. This
is the soiling system. This is a feed
ing method to which IL great deal of
work is attached. The green feeds
are difficult to handle. They must be
cut as they are fed. 1t is apparent
how much more convenient the feed
ing Of silage is than the feeding of
green soiling crons.-Kansas Farmer.

THIN OUT THE FRUIT.
Too Heavy Yields Often Cause Serious
Injury to Bearing Trees.

Unless orchardists prevent overbeur-
ing many orchards may be seriously
damaged. According to Professor
James G.. Moore of the horticultural
department of the college of agricul-
ture of the University Of Wisconsin,
in a toe abundant crop of plums lies
the danger that the trees may be seri-
ously injured. This is especially true
Of the European varieties.
Overproduction 50 reduces the vitali-
ty that if unfavorable conditions pre-
vail during the following winter trees
may be seriously damaged if not killed.
The thinning of the fruit after the
June drop" improves the character of
the fruit by making it larger, lessons
the probability of disease and removes
the danger of overproduction. The
thinning Of apples on trees which are
overloaded is also desirable, as it in
creases the size OF the fruit and lessons
the danger from insect injury.

Saving Elephants From Buos.

One vegetable that potato bugs like
better than potatoes is the eggplant.
You may pick the marauders twice a
day, but even then they often get the
better OF the succulent plants. An eff
fective method of meeting the situa-
ton is to protect the plants by cover
ing. Cut ordinary wire screen, such as
is used for windows, into the proper
form TO make cones Ga semicircle, and
fasten together by sewing with fine
wire. Apply Il coat of thin paint for
their preservation and set one over
each plant.-American Agriculturist.

que being one and the same person
deserted me. Certainly / must have
been mistaken in thinking I saw q
momentary recognition in Miss Gran
don's face.
The time came when at a reception
we met the marchioness face to face.
My daughter had been extremely fond
Of Miss Grandon and when she saw
her double standing among a group of
ladies was impelled to run toward her.
She checked the impulse, however, or.
rather, l did, and a few moments later
the marchioness saw us. She looked
away at once, but showed no especial
embarrassment. We saw her no more
that evening, but the next day whose
card should be handed us but that Of
the Marchioness of Brocklebourne.
You may imagine that both my
daughter and l lost no time in going
down to greet her, and the moment
Alice entered the room she rushed into
her former teachers arms.
Then, of course, we had the story.
The marchioness' brother, oldest son
and heir Of the Earl Of Herendeen,
had become involved in speculation
and had been proceeded against crimi-
nally and finally incarcerated. During
this trouble her father spent every
cent Of unentailed property to assist
his son Lady Gwendolen FortesQue
resolved to turn her education to ad-
vantage. secretly sailed for America,
assumed the name Of her mothers
family and secured a position in the
public schools of st. Louis. While
there her father died, and under a
British law that nc peer of the realm
can be arrested or imprisoned her
brother. who became a peer at his ia
theirs death, was liberated. Almost at
the same time the shares Of a certain
corporation in which the new earl was
heavily interested advanced in value
on the London Stock Exchange, and
he was cleared Of debt. Lady Gwen.

TO her sisters of the British nobility,
whose notions had always been cralnp-
ed by their position. We were invited
to visit her and during stay We're
made as much at home as in the house
of any American. The marchioness is
now II of the chief patrons and
guides Of education in England. though

derived her experience.

FUTURE MAKING.
Type Of Animal That Is Expected to
Prove Most Profitable to Grower,

There we're acres Of fat bullocks on
ago, and buyers were Indifferent, when
II of them spied a little white faced
calf that had been shipped with Il load
Of experiment cattle by the Missouri
college. He bought him promptly and
ven in search of more of the same
kind. The price Of that calf was $3.50
per hundredweight. He weighed 6GO
pounds, and Il check for S5S.OS was
paid for him. His sire was Il register
ed Hereford bull. his dam a grade
Shorthorn COW, and he was bred for
show purposes at the International,
but did not carry the type Of either
parent, hence was sent to the butcher
prematurely.
II. Q. Allison, one of the animal hus-
bandmen at the Missouri college, com
mented thus:
That is the n in which much
Of the beef of the future will be made.
That calf came late last September,
but by the middle of May he realizes
over $50. 4 carload Of the SANE kind
would probably have realized 50 per
hundrcdweight.
demand for heavy beef is constant
ly diminishing and for light stuff in
creasing, and in the economy of the
future we will keep our cattle intend
ed for the butcher with their dams
right up to the day Of shipping in the
same manner as do lamb r~aisers.
"They will be taught to eat grain
while on milk and be ready for mar
ket, say. at eight months. weighing
around 100 pounds. Not only will such
cattle be most economical in produc-
ton. but they will supply beef Of the
weight and quality required by the
new market demands"
obviously young cattle prepared in
this n show a minimum cost of
production. The costly items of com
missions. shrinks and freights are elm
mated. and they constitute a heavy toll
