SIL0S WILL ALL BE
FILLED THIS FALL
Prospects Indicate High Prices for
Hay and Grain With Big De-
mand for SiIage.

Hay and grain are high and there
is a good prospect that they are
going to be higher. Farmers will
do we'll to hold on to the feed they
have and use it to feed or fatten
livestock.
This is the belief of George c..
Humphrey of the Experiment Station,
the University of Wisconsin.
MANY" says Mr.. Humphrey,
tlikely will be unable to resist the
temptation to sell their crops at the
high prices which are now prevail
ing, but l think they will do we'll,
in most cases, to keep their hay
and grain. The price of meat, 1
believe, is going to rise proportionate-
ly faster than the price of feed
stuffs.
Moreover, there have been
droughts in some sections of the
country, causing a shortage of for
age and roughage feeds. In those
districts there will be, as result, a
big demand for grain. Thus, the
Wisconsin farmer if he carefully con-
serves his forage feeds, will be in
position to proftably feed more stock.
Except for animals that are be-
ing fattened, high priced grain, of
course, should be used very sparing-
ly. The great majority of the farm
ers of the state will be we'll supplied
with hay and other forage and every
man who has silo will surely fill it
to the roof with silage, the real
value of which very few of US scarce
ly realize"

Better Than Nothing.

A Boston man tells how, at rail-
way station, a number of wives were
starting for the seashore and bidding
their respective husbands adieu, he
heard one really charming young ma
iron say, as she kissed her hubby
good-by:
'Au revoir, dearie Don't forget to
write"
"Oh, I'll write often" protested her
husband.
DO dearie," continued the wife,
"do-if it's only a check"

HOW MOTORISTS MAY
BE TRULY POPULAR. "

Twelve suggestions to motorists to
promote the general good, called
the Twelve Fools Commandments
have been formulated by Rubber
Co., of Akron, Ohio Here they
are:
1. Take the corners on high
show people two wheels are all you
need when you turn a curve. This
stirs up little excitement in the old
town and gives the lazy but unwary
pedestrians some beneficial practice
in broad jumping.
2. Come to a stop on slide
select some spot on the curb and
see how close you can come to hitting
it with your wheels locked. Buffalo
Bill stopped his horses that way and
made quite a hit with his Wild
West Show. You can put it all over
any cowboy if you practice little
never mind the tire expense.
3. If you start on high you can
make your rear wheels spin beauti-
fully. This is little hard on tires
but it marks the place where you hit
the road.
4. Fortunately most cars are pro-
vided with a cut-out. The object
of this cut-out is to enable the driver
to show an admiring public his
smoke. Moreover it sounds like bust
ness when you initiate a bunch of
cannon firecrackers all exploding at
the same time. Keep your cut-out
open by all means or somebody may
think you haven't got any. A cut
out which charges directly downward
can be made to raise a perfectly
lovely cloud of dust. What do you
care-you'r re ahead of it.
5. Be pillar of smoke by day
and streak of fire by night. This
feat does not require much practice.
Usually all you need to do is to
neglect to observe your exhaust.
8. Jump into your car quickly,
put on the high speed-grab your
wheel-throw in the juice with
your free hand and let 'er rip. That
shows you are devil of a fellow
and that you're in a hurry to get
to where you are going.
z. When your car is one of a
long string that is held up by some
obstruction, pull out of the line and
get up ahead. Butt in ahead of the
first car and stand crosswise in the
road. When the obstruction is re-
moved you will be able to show your
dust to those who failed to jockey
you out of position.
6. When you come in your drive
way late at night stop as near as you
can to the window of your sleeping
neighbor, then open your cut-out and
let your engine hit her up for about
half hour. You can tell when
she's missing and you might also be
able to tell what your neighbor
thinks of you while he sits up in his
bed and pours line of earnest
language in your direction.
9. A joke which is highly ap-
preciated by most pedestrians is to
have driver skid puddle of mud
and throw dirty water all over their
Sunday raiment. You can do this
easily if you try it and it makes a
big hit, even with the man in overalls.

Omelet SouffIe.-Work four yolks OF

up five whites of eggs to stiff froth
and add them carefully to the creamed
yolks, together with a level table
spoonful of corn flour. A few drops
of vanilla essence should also be-
added. to flavor the Omelet. Have

sounds not only toothsome, but fes-
tive: Take eight ounces fresh but

four new-laid eggs, and beat up Well
together into a thick cream. To this,
mixture add eight ounces best white,
-four, four ounces sultana raisins, four
ounces dried currants and four ounces
candied peel. Stir the whole mixture
hard till thoroughly blended and pour
into paper bag creased very liberal
ly with clarified butter. Seal up
then with a fork or skewer-tip prick
two small holes near each corner OF
the bags upper side, taking care not
to prick the bottom as well. Put the
loaded and pricked bag on a wire
trivet and set the trivet in the Ovens

bottom-the feet will save the bag
from scorching. Bake for fifty-five,
