Still They Fall for This Game.

The News has frequently urged the
business men of Paris to beware OF the
travelling advertising solicitors but
they continue to fall for the old game
that has existed for years, and spend
their money for advertising from
which they receive little or no benefit.
1t bears.out a previous statement that
local merchants are easy to tumble
into the clever schemes of these men
who get their money with little en-
| deavor, spend nothing in the town and
leave the advertiser with nothing
more or less than scrap paper.
A few days ago one of these smooth
tongued artists came to to wn and held
number of merchants up with a
! scheme. His plan was 10 have printed
q pocket direc tory OF Paris which in
cluded railroad and interurban time
table, lodge directory, driving distance
from Paris. the city officials and a
brief sketch of the town. On each
page was liberal amount of advertls-
! ing which the merchants generously
donated.
The promoter of this little scheme
came 10 town on an early train. worked

turned over to local printer who
completed il the same day. His col
lections were made and he departed
with considerable sum of money
The News does not contend that adj
vertising Of any sort is not good
thing, but it does contend that there
is legitimate way to advertise and
whereby the merchant will get the
full benefit ont the money he Will
put into it. Newspaper advertising
is the one kind that will pay, and ii
merchants of Paris could be brought
to this realization they would be saved
lot of money in the course Of year
by turning down the smooth PROPOSE
ton of the man who spe nds a day in
town and clears out with sum OF
money which if pent with local news
papers would increase their business
and eventually get back to the man
who spent it this way. As it is the
money is gone, never to be again in
circulation here.

Rutland Man Struck by Train.

w. B. Matthews, of Rutland. small
station on the Louisville and Nashville
railroad, about thirteenkmiles North of
Cynthliana, is in a serious condition at
the Harrison Hospital in Cynthiana as
result of injuries, Sustained by.being
struck by the fast passenger train No.
80 at the Louisville and Nashville pas
senger depot in this city yesterday
morning shoi tly after elevenso clock.
The accident happened in full view
of hundred people who were at the
depot and that the unfortunate man
was not instantly killed is regarded as
miraculous.
Matthews came to Paris yesterday
morning from Cynthiana and was at
the depot to return on the noon train.
Evidently he was bewildered by the
number of trains at the depot and in
attempting to cross the track walked
almost directly in front of the fast ap-
preaching tain.
Several persons saw his danger and
called TO him. He was only able to
save himself by making an effort to
get across the track. Before he reach
ed the opposite side, however, the
engine struck him. knocking him to
the cement pavement and inflictlng
serious injuries.
He suffered broken jaw bone, his
face and head were abraded and it is
thought he may be internally injured.
The injured man was picked CD and
carried into the baggage room where
medical attention was summoned land
his injuries were attended. He was
taken to Cynthiana on the noon train
and placed in the hospital. Matthews
is aged about thirty years and is mar
ried.

COCKERELs FOR BREEDING

hens to put with this best male. Be
sure that they lay good eggs, well

and of good size. Do you know thct
just doing this will insure you against
one-half of the losses you have had?
You say that, being on farm, you
cannot bother to keep your best birds

An Apple Grading Machine.

The apple grading machine bought a
short time ago by the State Department
of Agriculture was successfully demon
strated recently in the orchard of Harry
Bearce of Hebron. Mr. Bearce is a
member of the Indian Head Fruit Grow
ers' Association, and many members of
the association were present. State
Horticultural A. K. Gardner and his
assistant, H. P. Sweetser, made GOOD
time with the machine. grazing 4S barrels
in 2 l-2 hours. The machine was much
discussed among the farmers and the
general opinion was that with clean apples
between 200 to $50 barrels of firsts and
seconds could be graded per day, by a
crew of eight men. If the fruit was
large $50 barrels per day could be graded.

cineSS Farmers Pare
THE SILO
Its Best Friends Are Its Oldest Friends.
By JARED VAN WAGENEN,

By JARED VAN WAGENEN.
Practical Farmer and Breeder.
The silo has been in use in America
more than thirty years.
Let us consider for moment their
advantages Every farmer knows that
cows give much more milk on pasture
than on the same grass in hay. He
knows, too. that fresh cut stalks are
much more readily eaten than the
same stalks after they are dried. He
has observed that drying makes feed
ing stuffs less palatable and digestible
The silo, then, is a method of giving
US fresh, green, juicy feed in winter.
It has two main advantages.
The first is that cows will give more
milk where it is used and the second
that it is very much less work to feed
the corn through the silo than to dry
and husk it in the old way. Every
farmer knows if hay or cornstalks are
thoroughly dry they will keep for any
length of time, while if damp they
will mold and spoil However. if they
are really moist and solidly packed in
room with tight walls they will keep
fresh and in good condition.
The process is very similar to can
ming fruit While there are various
crops which may be put in the silo,
everybody is agreed that corn is more
suitable than any other because it is
possible to produce such a great
Of
keeps we'll and comes out in such fine
condition There is no crop, unless it
be alfalfa, that is capable of giving as
great food value per acre as corn,
There are two reasons why every
dairy farmer needs the silo. One is
that the COW with a ration of this
juicy, succulent feed in winter will
give more milk with less grain than
If fed dry hay. Another important rea-
son is the great saving of labor
To shock corn by hand. husk it and
take it to the mill to be ground and
feed the meal with the dry fodder will
be double the work required to handle
the same crop through the silo. and
the results will not be as good Sue
