The Saloon Directly Responsible for Increases
in State Tax
Here is the problem: At the very lowest esti-

for her penal and charitable institutions. This is
of the leading items in the necessary appropriations
which compes increase in the state taxes. Expert
and ndisputable evidence shows alcohol to be of
the leading if the chief causes of insanity and
crminaity. The taxpaying citizen does not fancy
increase in taxes. Why not, then, set about curb
the sale and use of alcohol? The chief distributing
agency of this poison is the legalized saloon The
adjustment of the saloon will certainly bring about
lessened expense in the state of the insane and
criminals
DR.. " H. Podstata Says Alcohol Cause of Epilepsy.
Here is expert testimony to support this
contention Dr. Vaclay H. Podstata superintendent
of the Northern Illinois Hospital for the Insane in
1911, said with reference to epilepsy:
There today in this fair state of Illinois
about eight thousand epileptcs. More than half
of them children. Nearly thousand could,
if they knew enough, justly point their fingers
their father mother both and say: You

period of illness it had been the
friendly visits and kind ministrations
of Ethel Lynd that had made her Sc

Exquisite ribbon roses, corsage
bouquets of ribbon violets and nose
gays of small ribbon or silk buds-all

offerings for this year that hardly
cost more than the time it takes to
make them. This item Of cost is an
important one to most of US. There
are so many that we wish to remem-
Der, at the holiday season, that even
modest gifts mount up into a total
which it is unfair to ourselves for us
to spend. The one way out is to
make up things in which the ideas
and work make value. Our friends
appreciate these more than any other
sort of gift.

PROPER SILAGE CORN
Select Varieties That Will Pro-
duce Large Fodder.
Most Important Essential Is to Find
Kind That Will Mature in Your
Locality-SiIo Is Always Prof
liable to Farmer.

In selecting a variety of corn for
silage always use one that will ma
ture it's grain. Other things being
equal, select variety that produces
a large fodder as the yield will be
greater.
There are special ensilage varieties
such as Virginia Ensilage corn" but
before trying any Of these be sure to
know whether or not it will mature
in your locality.
Corn can be planted somewhat thick
or than generally used in growing
grain but not thick enough to prevent
the good ear development.
One dairyman who has had good
success in growing corn for the silo
and puts up about 1000 tons year
says that he plants one-third more
seed for the silage corn than for the
corn grown for grain.
The amount, however, depends much
upon the variety and the conditions of
the soil.
The size Of the silo Of course de-
ponds upon the number Of cattle to
be fed. 1t should never be less than
20 feet high because pressure is neces-
sary to preserve the silage.
The higher the better. A good rule
is to have it twice as high as the
diameter. The following table will
show the size for a given number Of
cows for a 200-day feeding period:
