Concerning Avice.

In a magazine for Nomen appears
this choice bit of advLe: Don't go
out to dinner unless yu are willing
to talk" Sounds raher needless,
don't it? Persons of The gentle sex
generally do talk when out to dinner
or elsewhere One Is reminded of
that old saying about fCarrying Goals
to Newcastle" and all that sort Of
thing. And it thrusts Itself on ones
attention that large percentage Of
the advice so generously bestowed on
both sexes Is rather on the unneces-
sary order Yet we read it and hunger
and thirst after 1t, don't we? And
why? Isn't 1t because we want to be
advised to do the things we want to
do, like to do and will do anyway?
The kind Of advice we don't care much
about is that which runs counter to
our personal wishes and intentions.
Givers of such advice are sometimes
regarded as malicious, meddling, per-
nicious persons, even though it is ac-
knowledged that their advice Is wholly
sound and reliable. Really, come to
think of it, the situation is enough to
discourage any but the most willing
advisor, isn't it?-Detroit Free Press.

UlU QuEU7oH7
TO RAILROADS J
interstate Commission Has Not
Sufficient Data.
SOME POINTED SUGGESTIONS
The Queries Framed BY Louis e
Brandeis Intimate That the Trou-
BILE May Be Due To Conflict
- --------- ing interests. ~ .

Washington. Eastern railroads
must show conclusively to the Inter
state Commerce Commission that
shrinking profits are due to the de-
creasing value of the dollar, rather
than to the evils of stock manipula-
ton, interlocking directorates and
frenzied financing. Otherwise there
will be no grant of increases. This
condition was emphasized by the COM
MISSIONS public announcement that
1t has sent to all lines set of rs
questions, divided in seven groups,
which go straight to the heart of the
railroad-finance problem.
1t is the understanding of the CONF
mission that some of the railroads are
in position to make full responses TO
the questions submitted without SUBJ
stantial delay, while others will re-
uuire some time to compile the data
ordered.
These questions, bearing in every
| line the impress of the views of Louis
| d. Brandeis, the peoples lawyer" en-
gagged by the Interstate Commerce
| Commission, may be summarized IN
the question: Are you paying proper
attention to economics, and are your
earnings shrunken because OF inter
locking directorates, because of Wall
Street 'milkings,' because of too much
attention to finance and too little to
railroading?"
One group of questions was aimed
at "the possibility of increasing reve
nues otherwise than through a gen
eral increase of freight rates" in sucn
savings as might be effected through
standardization of supplies 4pd in the
consumption of coal.
Under the head of "finaSoial," tht
commission queries tie rdds as t.
their holdings in industrial Vor MINING
corporations OF other iljbads. INT
question as to conflicting interests
the commission says, "is designed t
secure data to determine the extent U
which the directors and officials o
railroads have other financial intel
ests in the transactions of the cal
riers."
"Among other things it is desire
to determine to what extent confiictin
and INTERVIEWING Interests commons
, described as interlocking directorate
prevail" the announcement said, AN
what influence if any tits practice ha
. had in increasing railroad costs.
Other angles of the commission
| inquiry involve the possibility OF II
: creasing revenues through more fayol
able contracts on Pullman sleeping ca
service and on the possibility of Ii
! adequacy of passenger rates.
The commission will renew its he7
!, ings January giving shippers an
portunity to present their testimony
oppositiou to the railroads unchv
lenged financial statements alread
& submitted. Already the shippers hav
a. made arrangements to present mas

Frederick Greenslade, superintendent
Of the Jamesburg Light and Water
company, bumped into young woman,
and blurted out polite, but hasty,
Excuse me, madame" The young
woma seemed to be astonished at
the accent and the appearance of the
super intendent. She wheeled about,
ran sfter him and caused that gentle
man no end of surprise by halting him
and asking him If he knew Frederick
Greenslade. The biggest surprise
awaited him, however, when the young
woman disclosed her identity as his
sister, Miss Ethel M. Greenslade, who
had come all the way from London,
England, to search for her brother.
who. had been as one dead to the fam
lily Tor % years. 1t was the English
accent of Mr.. Greenslade that caught
the ear of his sister and caused heI
sudden turning.
Not once since Mr.. Greenslade had
left his home in London has he com
muhicated with his people. Shortly
after the beginning of the Boer-Eng
Iish war it was rumored that he had
been killed in battle. but Miss Ethel
did not give up hope. She arrived in
America last February, and has trav-
eled over a large part of the United
Stetes ever since in hen search. She
received clue while at Chester, w.
Va, that her brother was in New
Jersey town, after reading newspa-
per containing the use of his name.
Her arrival and reunion with her rela-
tive followed.
Miss Greenslade will make her
home with Mr.. and Mrs. Greenslade for
the winter, and return to England in
the spring, where reunion of the fam
ily will be held and all honor done the
prodigal's return home after so long
an absence. Greenslade told of his
wanderings around the world, enlist
ment In the English army, serving
through the Boer war, and roaming the
seas until three years ago, when he
came to Jamesburg and assumed his

often the cows increase the flow when

hydrates and some concentra~ or
roughage with a high protein content
should be fed with it; such as wheat
bran, oil meal, cottonseed meal or
alfalfa or clover hay.
At the Illinois experiment station
1t is reported that selected herd OF
dairy COWS were being maintained On
alfalfa hay and corn silage alone
The COWS are in excellent condition,
and have made good yields and gooo
profit
Every dairyman should make an
effort to grow alfalfa and put up Sill
age. 1t is a great combination and all
home grown. This constant buying OF
milk feed Is what cuts down the
profits, and should be eliminated as
far as possible.
When it is considered that corn
can be grown so easily and In every
section Of the country, it stands at
the head of the list of forage crops
for this purpose.
The yield in feeding value and the
convenience Of handling makes 1t the
p, best silage crop.
The yield will range from 10 to
90 tons per acre on good soil, and
even higher yields have been re-
ported. At Is tons per acre. one
acre will furnish roughage enough for
two cows for every day in the year
or four COWS during feeding period
of six months. What other crop VIII
do that?
other crops can be used. such as
sorghum or COW peas in comhIna-
ton with either sorghum or corn. The
cow peas improve the silage, for it

DAIRY PROSPERITY
BY USE OF A SlLO
Dairymen Should Take Advant-
age Of Every Opportunity to
Reduce His Expenses.
cBy ]. E. woRMAN0

II dairy farmer were told that
he could roll silver dollars down a
hill and then pick up two dollars
for every one he rolled down, and this
statement was verified by some of
his neighbors, and hundreds OF otn-
er dairy farmers in the country, that
farmer would stay up nights to roll
the dollars.
But when told that he could double
the profits by the use of the silo ne
becomes very Indifferent and keeps
on in the same old rut, feeding dry
feed. wasting nearly half OF his corn
crop and doing lot Of unnecessary
work.
In these days Of close competition
dairymen should be ready to take ad-
vantage of every opportunity to re-
duce the cost of production. and II
will be found that it is easier IL the
proper methods are used to do that
than to raise the selling price OF the
dairy product. The results are the
same; large net profit.
In the corn plant about 40 per cent
Of the feeding value is in the stalk
and so per cent. in the ear. When the
ear alone is fed nearly haif OF tne
corn crop is wasted.
Where the dry stalks are FED al
least half of them remain uneaten'
while IL stored in the silo the loss Is
almost nothing.
Every dairyman knows that cows
will do their best on fresh June pas
ture. The grass is succulent and pal
atable and the conditions for a max
imnm milk flow are ideal. These
conditions, however. do not last very
long.
The silo comes as near to supplying
tbe ideal conditions as anything tna'
can be found and 1t is available every
dav in the year. 1t provides uni
form feed for every one OF the Il
months.
