LED HOST IN PATH OF DUTY
Abernathy "kids," on Trip to Wash.
ington, Said to Have Induced Pa
per Man to Go to Church.

The two Alternately kids, who came
through Indianapolis on motorcycles
on their way to New York, made a
newspaper man go to church, though
they probably did not know it.
The N. NJ. had the boys as guests at
his house while they were in town.
The first night when it came time to
go to bed the boys handed him a sur.
prise when they both said their pray.
iers. Sunday morning the boys init.
mated that they always went to
church. When one of them naively
asked the host: do you go to
church, he said that he did, though
he admitted inwardly that he had
been neglecting the church going OF
late. .
We'll, let's go to church," said TEN.
pie, who is nine years old.
Would you like to. go with me or
would you boys just as o o go with
the boy across the street," asked the
newspaper man, cycling the porch
swing which swayed gently in the
:. breeze.
Wed rather go with you," said
Louis, the elder. And they all went.
The newspaper man admitted after.

CAPACITY OF AVERAGE SlLo
Easy Matter to Determine Number Of
Cubic Feet of Ensilase Required
to Feed Cows.
(By A. d. WILSON. Superintendent Ex-
tension Division, University Farm, st.
Paul, Minn.}

(By A ID. WILSON. Superintendent Ex-
tension Division, University Farm, st.
Paul. Minn.}
The amount of silage required and
the size of silo needed to hold it can
be quite closely calculated, provided
the number and kind Of animals to
be fed from 1t are known before
building.
An average COW or beef ANNA.
may be fed about So pounds of silage
per day and the usual period during
which silage is used in this latitude
will be about 210 days. Large ami
mails or those that are being fattened
may consume considerably more than
35 pounds per day, but this has been
found a fair average.
In a silo OF ordinary depth, the
average weight of the silage is about
40 pounds per cubic foot. Near the
top of the silo, however, where the
pressure is not great, it will weigh
only rs pounds per cubic foot, while
at the bottom of a 35-foot silo is may
weigh 60 pounds. Taking these aver
ages, If a COW eats 35 pounds Of en-
silage in a day, she will eat 35-40, or
B Of a cubic foot per day, and with
this as a basis 1t is easy to determine
the number Of cubic feet Of ensilage
required to feed a COW or any number
of cows throughout the season. The
diameter of the silo must be such
that the stock on hand can use one
or two inches of silage off the top
each day during the winter and at
least three inches per day when sum
mer feeding Of silage is to be prac'
ticed. This is necessary to keep the
silage from spelling.
A silo 10 feet in diameter Is adapt
ed to feeding 10 mature cattle. One
IL feet in diameter will feed Is head
and one IA feet in diameter will meet
the needs Of twenty head; but II
there are 30 or more cows to feed
q 16-foot silo should be erected. These
silos should be 80 or 40 feet. or ever
more in height.

LONG CHASE AFTER BAD MAN
Bold Horse Thief and Highwayman
Will Not Trouble Idaho
Any More.

Gooding, Idaho.-The horse thief
and stickup man that has been max
ing free with the peace of three coun-
ties was apprehended at Galena, a
ranger station about t~hirty-fve miles
north of Ketchum.
The follow, who was given a differ.
ent name every time he was asked,
stole a horse and saddle from q barn
at Bliss, rode from there to Camas
prairie and held up a saloon. He then
returned to Bliss via the shearing
corrals in the mountains, where he
raised cain generally.
Constable Pinkham of Bliss, motto
ing that he answered the description
of the nan wanted, arrested him and
took him to the hotel and phoned for
Sheriff Bliss at Gooding. While phon.
ing, the prisoner walked out and when
pursued took a shot at Pinkham with
his rife, of which the constable had
neglected to relieve him.
Pinkham abandoned the chase and
nothing was done till Sheriff Bliss took
up the trail. He tracked the man by
means of an oddly shaped horseshoe
and followed him nearly to Gooding,
then north over the Sawtooth Noun
tains and UP Willow Creek. The for
est rangers were notified to watch for
the man and horse and when he show
ed up at Galena he vas invited to stay
all night.
II was his intention to do so until a
second ranger appeared on the scene,
but when he attempted to leave the in
vitation was repeated at the point of
a revolver. The sheriff arrived half
an hour later.

SUMMER RATION FOR HORSES
Feeding Ear or Shelled Corn Would
&c More Desirable Than Grind
,ins-One Good Combination.

If corn must be fed to the horses,
grinding it will not pay, unless the
horses have poor teeth, in which case
1t might be advisable. Feeding the
ear or shelled corn would be the more
desirable method of feeding.
Crushed corn and cob meal Is not
as good because of the cost of crush
ing, and the amount of food value Sc
cured from the cob is so small that
it does not make up for the energy
required to digest SO much crude f.
Der.
A combination Of corn, bran and a
little oil meal make a good summer
ration for horses. Feeding a 1000
pound horse about ten pounds of corn
and three pounds of bran per day
would be equivalent 70 IA pounds
of oats, although it contains a little
more carbohydrates and less protein,
thus making a little wider ration. A
small amount of oil meal would Offset
this, however.

Poorly Packed Potatoes and Cabbage
Packed Too Loosely.

MEMS. There Is neither cash or
character in this practice" A few e C
onds or culls scattered In with a lot
of, fancy specimens gives the buyer
an opportunity to discriminate against
the whole package and ruins the rep
utation Of the grower as an honest
packer.
Produce should be cool and dry be-
fore being packed. Heat and moisture
promote decay. Conditions Of this
kind should be guarded against, for
decay means loss- Allow all fruit and
vegetables to cool in the packing
house, and have them dry before pack
ing. They will keep longer and pre-
sent q better appearance at the time
Of sale If handled IN this way. So
much of the success in marketing
farm products depends upon the pack
ing, that growers cannot be too par
ticular in seeing that this work is
done in such a way as to show their
produce to best advantage when put
on sale. While it Is of the utmost inn
portance that each package be filled
with the same grade throughout, tt Is
equally as important that it be done
carefully. With the softer varieties of
fruit and vegetables, such as peaches,
plums, tomatoes and egg plant, that
r usually put In small packages,
each specimen should be placed by
hand. This not only makes the pack
more attractive, but 1t lessons the LA
bility of damages resulting from
bruises. Produce of a firm nature, as
apples, potatoes, etc., will o bruise
so readily, and as a result it is not
SO necessary to handle each individual
specimen in packing.

It is a good plan to have awnings

to go over the windows Of the hen

have those awnings up during the

Don't Poison Baby.

TORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have

have beer killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, huda-
mum and morphine, each of which is narcotic product of opium. Druggists
are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or
to anybody without labelling them poison" The definition Of narcotic"
is: "a medicine WhGh relieves pain and produces sleep but whsch IN poison
ms doses produces stupor, coma, commissions and death" The taste and
