Do Not Let Fat Burn.

, The unpopularity Of fried food
in many families is due entirely
to the fact that the fat has been
burned in cooking. Fat when
heated too high a temperature
splits up and may form substan-
ces which have an irritating
effect on the throat and may
cause digestive disturbances.
Fat in itself is a very valuable
food, and if it is not scorched,
should prove a healthful rather
than an Objectionable article of
diet. A slightly burned taste
and similar Objectionable fiavors
can often be removed from fat
by putting into it thick stices of
raw potato and heating it grad
ually. When the fat ceases to
bubble and the potatoes are
brown, the fat should be strained
off through a cloth placed in a
wire strainer.

SILAGE FOR SHEEP.
JudiciousIy Used Ensilage Is a Cheap
and Valuable Feed.

JudiciousIy Used Ensilage Is a Cheap
and Valuable Feed.
Accurate data regarding the value
of silage in q ration for fattening
sheep and lambs are scarce, but what
there are indicate that it is useful. says
Ellis Roll of the University of Ne
braska. As far back as the early nine
ties the Michigan experiment station
fed some lambs on silage and other
fOOdstuffs. The gist of their findings
is to the effect that a mixture of
folders composed largely of a good
quality of silage proved cheap and
successful ration for fattening lambs.
The Iowa station at AmeS made
some comparative tests of dry hays,
roots and silage as rOuGhage in 1906
and 1901. In lots fed the first winter
the silage cheapened the ration cOnsid-
erably. During the second winter the
various lots were fed for 4 long period,
1GS days. and the silage lot refused to
eat much silage. They ate almost as
much grain and hay rs the other lot
did and the gain on these silage lambs
was more expensive than was that
with some of the other food cOmbina-
tiOns. But the average of the two
years was favorable to the use Of
silage as means of cbeapeuinG the
ration. The lambs from all lots tn
ished into market tOppers. but the
dressed carcdsSeS showed the SiiG-c
lambs Il little superior on the hook
Taking these few experiments tLeD
into consideration and also the gen
eraI results which various feeders have
obtained in practical work, it seems
that siIage has an important place
among desirable and economical feeds
Cor farteuiug sheep.
1t is my opinion that silage can bo
fed to sheep with satisfactory results.
The use of mOldy or frozen silage may
cause trouble. but good, clean. brighC
Silage can be used with excellent re
suits, either rs Il SUcculent food for
breeding ewes in winter or as a cheap
put satisfactory and efficient rOughJge
for fattening sheep and lambs. This
opinion is based partially on observd-
lions Of fiOckS which have been fec
and partially ON the experiments quot
ed above. The results to date point
toward silage as a cheap and valuable
feed for sheep.

News and Gossip.

If ''it" was not mentioned in
this paper, whose fault was it?
If you had company and we fail
ed to note the same, why was it?
If a social function failed to be
chronicled in these columns, how
did it happen? Well, it was not
intentional on the part of the
publishers, rest assured of that.
Best way to proceed in these
matters is to report the happen
ings. We want the news and we
10 not call the person egotistical
who tells US news items concern
ing himself; rather do we call
him blessed. Remember that
somebody has to tell US the news
or we would fail in our purpose.
AS we have already stated, we
are not mind readers, although
we wish for that power and un-
til the time comes when we can
read your thoughts, we will have
to depeud upon the generosity
and thoughtfulness of our read
ers for those items that go to
make up our local columns. Best
tell us yourself and have it cor
rect, rather than to hope we will
hear it from some other source.
When you tell US about it we
will know something authentic
when we get it by chance it is
hear say and liable to be not
what you would have told US.
And bear in mind we do not
class "newsy" person with the

Morals Among Animals.

Whether ANIMALS are more
moral and regular in their be-
havior than human beings is a
question, but it is nevertheless a
fact that instinctively, animals
and birds obey the ten command
ments in an exemplary manner.
1t is a common belief, for in
stance, that animals invariably
break the seventh command
ment. AS matter of fact, how
ever, many species of animals
are true to the one mate they Sc
lect. Animals Of the highest
plane, such as wolves and foxes
(the British fox excepted are
monogamists, and even if they
forget their young and their
young forget them, they never
forget each other.
These animals pair for life, and
so far is this principle carried by
the American wild goose, that if
it's mate is killed it never mates
again. The reason why there is
no more successful group of birds
on the face of the earth than the
pigeon is because they maintain
the highest homogeneous stand
ard.
Again, take the law of obedi-
ence. A chicken will at once
obey its mothers clucking when
the latter is alarmed for the safe
ty of her offspring. The puma
will give her cubs a severe clout-
ing if they fail to obey her, and
a young deer will at once lie down
as though dead when warned,
for instance, by it's mother that
a wolf is near.
Of killing of their own kind,
there is amazingly little among
animals. thus showing that they
recognize the law against muir
der. This is due, as is pointed
out by Ernest Thompson Seton,
famous American naturalist, not
to reasoning, of course. but to
the deep-laid instinct to preserve
the species.
A striking illustration of the
observance among animals of the
commandment, Thou shalt not
steal" is afforded by the fact
that they always mark their own
property, generally by adding
odor to it, so that they know it
for their own. Mr.. Seton has
seen cases of wolves and heard
cases of foxes respecting each
others marks. But it only ap-
plies between the same species.

JUNE PRIMARIES BALLOTS.
Work of Preparation for Printing Is
Now in Progress.

The clerks in the office of the secre-
tary of State under the personal d.
rection of the secretary, Hon. Joseph
E. Alexander of Richmond, are hard

primaries on June IS next. Under the
present law 103,0 $50 Republican, 100000
Democratic and 3s,Ss0 Socialist ballots
will he printed It will be remembered
that two years ago some criticism was
made because of the fact that so
many primary ballots were printed,
but Hon. Cyrus w. Davis Of water
willie. who was the secretary Of State
at the time, ordered the same num-
Der printed as under the provision or
the Australian ballot law. The statute
was very indefinite at that time so
Secretary Davis thought that it would
be bes. to be on the safe lido with
the result that great many more so
cialist ballots were printed and sent
to the polling places than was neees-
sary.
The last Legislature amended this
law so that it now provides that the
secretary of State shall furnish for
each polling place or precinct at
which an election is to be held, not
less than GO of each party primary
nominating ballots for every so votes
and fraction of so votes cast by that
party in the voting place or precinct
