A teacher had been at great trouble
to explain to her class the meaning of
the word Notwithstanding" and, on
asking for a sentence in which the
word occurred, was somewhat nom
plussed to receive the following eff
fort from blushing maiden of some
eight summers and winters:
'tPlease, miss, my little brother has

Stanley leaped to his feet and his
eyes blazed very fiercely.
''Why, you blamed adventuTer!" he
cried. do you mean to say you're

with his two hands. He did not strike
the man, but he shook him as ter

that he was big man, and he was
as strong as he looked. He shook
him until the younger mans arms
tossed and tapped helpless at his
sides, and his head rolled weakly up
on his shoulders.
But there came cry from behind
and the two stood still. Mr.. Stanley
turned his head and his wife was
there. her hands pressed together
over, her heart, her face white and
full of terror.

and moved off toward the west. And

Silage has not been generally fed 10
horses, partly or account OF a ceruaih
amount Of danger which attehus ns
use for this purpose. but sun more
perbaps. on account of prejudice. In
many cases horses have been killed Dy
eating moldy silage. and the careless
person who fed Ii at once planned tue
silage itself rather than his w care
lessness and the mold which reahy
was the cause of the trouble. Horses
are peculiarly susceptible to the effects
of molds. and under certain conditions
molds grown on sllage are very dead
ly poisons to both horses and mules.
Molds must have air TO grow, n
therefore silage which is packed air
tight and fed out rapidly VIII not be
come moldy. If the feeder watches the
| silage carefully as the weather warns
up he can soon detect the presence OF
mold. When mold appears, feeding to
horses or mules should stop immedi-
ately.
Corn to be made into silage for
horses should not be cut too green, as
SOUL silage will result and may cause
collie when fed. The corn should be
well matured and cut when the grain
is beginning to glaze. The silo should
be filled rapidly, and the corn should
be vigorously tramped and packed
while filling. At least three men should
be inside the silo, moving constantly.

! across and around the center. This Is
| by far the most important point In con-
nection with feeding silage to horses.
and the lives of the horses fed on
silage may depend on the thorough
ness with which the tramping Is done.
II properly done no danger Is likely
to result; If not properly done air
| pockets may form and cause the ac-
| emulation of a small mass of mold
which the feeder may overlook, but
which might be sufficient to kill one

The value Of silage for horses Is
| greatest as a means to carry them
through the winter seaso cheaply or
to supplement pasture during drought.
AS the danger Of mold is greater In
summer than in winter. silage should
not be fed to horses In that season I'M

is so large as to preclude the formation

FERTILIzING.

Fertilizers may be complete or In
complete: direct or indirect.
A complete fertilizer is one that con
tains each of the three elements OF
plant food, nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash.
An incomplete fertilizer Is N that
contains only one or two of the three
elements. nitrogen. phosphoric acid
and potash.
A direct fertilizer Is one that con-
tains any or all of the three plant food
elements, nitrogen. phosphoric acid and
potash. A direct fertilizer Is used for
the plant food which Ii contains.
An indirect fertilizer is one that does
not contain nitrogen. phosphoric acid
or potash. An indirect fertilizer is not
applied for the purpose of adding plant
food to the soil. but In order to make
some of the plant food already In the
soil more available. The chief indi-
rect fertilizers are land plaster. lime
and common salt.
Land plaster. gypsum or calcium sui
phate. These are different names for
the same compound. Gypsum or land
plaster is nothing more than the sui.
phate Of lime rock which has been
ground exceedingly fine.

BUYING At HOME is LIKE
INVESTING YOUR MONEY.
Dealing With Local Merchants Means
Increased Public improvements
and Better Real Estate Values.

Good. solid. cogent reasons why the
farmer and the dweller In the small
town should spend their money in the
nearby stores of their neighbors. among
friends whom they trust and who
patronize them as far as may be, are
given in the following editorial from
the Daily Age of Coshocton, o., which
includes another editorial from the
Findlay Republican.
The instance of the mail order house
denouncer who finally succumbed to a
highly colored catalogue and finally had
to call in a local artisan to make the
thing work" is not only amusing, but
painfully true. and should be instruc-
tive.
THE nan who sends his money out
of town is robbing himself liz the long
run. A moments thought will con-
vince even the most ardent mail order
devotee that this statement is true"
says the Daily Age. And he does it
In more ways than one. Fol- instance,
not very long ago a timer showed an
Age man a big galvanized tank that a
storekeeper In a country village-and
he Is always denouncing mail order
h~ouses-had bought Of a Chicago firm.
And the tank had to be gone over by
the local timer before it was fit for
use. It started right. but had a poor
finish. And the Findlay Republican the
other day succinctly set forth some
very hard. common sense reasons that
are worthy of perusal. The editorial
says:
The more money you send away
from home the poorer your town
grows. Is there any one who doubts
it?
"'Out Of every purchase made in
your own town a certain percentage is
set aside to be added to our home cap
ital.
"'When home trade increases new
stores come and old one do a bigger
business. That means more clerks,
larger profits for the employer. The
inevitable result is the building of
more houses for these people to live
in. That makes more taxable prop
erty, and your tax rate, IL public funds
are properly handled. will decrease,
and, besides, there is more money
available for public improvements.
"a purchase at home. therefore, is
in part an investment, some portion of
the money returning to you in in
creased values Of real estate. better
stores to trade in, the building Of more
civic improvements
"a purchase in. a distant city is
equally an investment. but the invest
ment is for the benefit of the people
who live in the city where the purchase
is made.
"'Why invest your money in a place
where no possibility can ever bring
you any return from itT"
