Q.-How do you keep silage from
freezing?
A.-So far as can be learned the
silage does not freeze except on the
top surface. TO prevent this, an en-
terprising farmer made a light iron
hoop in his silo, just large enough to
slide nicely up and down. Over this
hoop he stretched a cover Of two or
three thicknesses of burlap and fast
ened three ropes Of equal length at
points one-tlird of the way around
the rim. These were tied to rope
which ran through pulley at the
top Of the silo and back to the door
way. When he was not in the silo
this canvas cover rested on the siage.
When he wanted to throw out some
feed, he would pull the cover up out
OF the way, letting 1t down again as
soon as he got out. OF course he
kept the doors closed in order to keep
the heat OF the silage in.-Prof c.
A. Ocock.
Q.-How should treat lice on cattle

BY LOUISE RICE.

The Oldest son of William Booth
and Catherine Mumford was always
looked upon as the logical successor
to his father, though a distinct state
ment to that effect was never made
He has been called the Moltke of the
Salvation army, because of his ire
mendous grip upon the reins of it's
government; but for him, the exact
and wonderfully detailed organization
might never have existed, but so quiet
ly has he worked behind the scenes
that the general public does not real
lie, as yet, how powerful a personal
ity has come into the worlds lime
light
Bramwell, more than any of the
Booth children, resembles his mother,
even in manner, speech and express
sion. He has a softly rounded oval
face, and a clean youthful skin, which
is accentuated by his prematurely
white hair His platform manner is
also that of his mothers; the pene-
tratingly sweet and compelling, rather
than the virile and powerful one of
his father.
1t is in personal intercourse, how
ever, that his greatest power lies. He
is prominently magnetic, when met
eye to eye. His hand clasp is subtly
tender and warm, and his tactfulness
is of that rare kind, which conceals
itself behind an apparent reliance up,
on others to do that very thing which
he is, at the actual moment, effecting.
His knowledge of all army matters is
nothing short of phenomenal. Consult
him on the most important scheme
the army has ever evolved, and he
knows all about it; question him con
corning some technical detail, and he
then and there draws you a diagram
which fully explains it. He knows an
enormous number of people, in and
out of the army, by their names. He
remembers faces. He has a mind
which is naturally scholarly, and
which is stocked with the best of Eng
lish literature.
AS the son of an epoch-making faith
er, Bramwell Booth is a brilliant ex
ception to the usual nonentity He is
not a feeble imitation of General vii
liam Booth, but distinct and entirely
different personality.
Like every officer IN the Salvation
army. the generals son, long before
the actual army scheme had been
worked out, had to begin at the begin
ming, as now his own children, in
their turn, are doing. AS he resem
bled his mother in an almost morbid
shrinking from publicity, he was set
to work. at first, among the children

NEW DISHES FROM SAME RECIPES.
1t is generally supposed by most
housekeepers that a new recipe must
be forthcoming every time a new dish
IS desired. This is not necessary. aGd
In fact, where much of the real pleas
ure is found in cooking, is in varia-
lions of a given recipe. 1t does not
require much cleverness to follow a
definite recipe, as given by our best
cooking authorities today. But the
housekeeper who is growing every
day in her cooking is the one who can
evolve several recipes from the one
she already has.
1t is a delight to take one recipe
and with little change in -four, IL
guild or shortening, or by steaming or
baking see it suddenly transformed
into a new and appetizing dish.
Not until a woman realizes that
brains is the greatest factor in her
cooking will she realize success or all
the pleasure she should from it. Take
for instance the ordinary biscuit
dough which requires art to handle
with little -four, and no amount of
writing can make it as definite as can
be gained by constant practice.

new year really did not begin until

according to the Gregorian calendar
the old year ended az midnight. Three
years hence the extra hours will have
