A MANS LIFE.

A mans career is not the whole
of life. If this poor fraction is
regarded as possessing an inte-
grail value there Is pitiful pow
erty even in the midst Of abun-
dant possessions. The fullness of
any single life is dependent upon
the larger life about it. which It
is capable of touching. absorbing,
and transmitting into its own vi
tai power and energy. The prog
ress of the world is due not 80
much to the great careers Of
great men, but in very large
measure to the excess Of time
and thought and energy which
busy men have nobly given to
the worlds need and the worlds
distress. The untired efforts Of
tired men. the generous giving
of time on the part Of those who
have no time to spare, the devo-
ton of the hours of rest to add
tional service. the unrequited Ia
Dor. the investment which pays
no dividend-these are the fac
tors which enter constructively
into the world progress and are
the hope of its salvation. The
tragedy of life is Its failure to
touch the life Of tbe world. 1t
may splendidly develop its own
resources for its own needs and
its own pleasures or. II you
please. for its own name and
fame. but its success only serves
TO make its failure the more con-
spicuous if its ambition does not
seek to give as well as to get
and is not willing to stoop to
sacrifice as well as to glory In
success. John Grier Hibben.

SLOWER FOR SILAGE.
Dry Corn Fodder Makes an Inferior
Article of Feed.

Corn fodder or dry slower may be
put in the silo successfully, giving it
enough water to wet it down thor
oughly, but not enough to leave free
water in the silo. Such silage will
keep, but 1t Is not as good as that put
up when the corn is in the proper stage
of development for the silo. The best
silage is made when the corn begins
to dent. Dry fodder has lost some Of
its feeding value and is not as palata-
BILE.
The acid is formed by the action of
bacteria on the sugars in the plant.
This action Is accompanied by rise
in temperature. The conversion Of the
sugar into acetic, Tactic and other acids
is also accompanied by the formation
Of gas. The gas drives the air out Of
the silage. The preserving qualities
are due to the acid and more to the
absence of air. Wherever air gets into
the slo there is found spoiled silage.-

SLEEP.

Do but consider what an excel

estimable jewel that If ty-
rant would give his crown for an

bought. Yea, so greatly are we
indebted to this kinsman of
death that we owe the better
tributary half Of our life to him,

should do SO, for sleep Is that

In stables. COW barns or where ami
mails of considerable weight are to

may be four inches. Stalls and drive

AS a general proposition. Il mix Of
one sack of cement to two and one
half cubic feet of screened gravel or
crushed stone will answer the purpose.
The mixture should be wet enough to

edge not over six feet for either dimen-

days should be devoted to curing the

horse in transporting swill, water and
feed directly from tank and bin to the
pens, yards or field in which the ami
mails are kept This is much easier
on the feeder and is more quickly
done. Wide alley hog houses permit
of the one horse truck not alone for
hauling feed in, but for hauling out
the manure and thereby keeping the
surroundings clean and sanitary.
There are few who have taken the
trouble to separate the shoats accord
ing to size so that they could be fed
more easily and satisfactorily. Many
prefer to feed hogs of all sizes to-
gether either continuing the feeding
until all are full or else wasting time
chasing the larger ones away until
the smaller ones are fed. Feeding all
the animals will hold is wasteful
method, while beating up the big ones
while the smaller eat is not conducive
to gains in either the old or young.
In both cases too much time is con-
sumed and without good results. 1t is
always well in feeding hogs to sort
according to size and limit the number
to twenty or thirty in Il feeding place.
\ sufficient number of feed troughs
should be provided so that all the hogs
in each feeding place can eat at once.
The troughs should be located under
swinging panels so that the hogs can
all be shut out until the slop has been
placed in the trough This saves Stop
and labor. and the pigs do better.
Much more time is gained in feeding
when not annoyed by the hogs while
stopping than when feeding in the
ordinary manner.
