SAFETY FIRST.

"Safety first" is the slogan of the
present day, and it is fast being ap-
piled in the industrial world to curb
the tendency of the present age
towards speed at the expense of safety.
There is always point beyond which
it is not wise to proceed, which point
has in good many instances been
passed, and the resulting disasters
have brought about a policy of re-
trenchment to the point where safety
is the first consideration.
The Central Savings Bank & Trust
company of Orleans has from its very
inception by its organizers pursued
this policy, and the results have proven
the wisdom of the course which has
been constantly followed
In the nine years of its existence it
has experienced rapid and steady
growth, and on June 80 it reported to
the bank commissioner that it had
resources of nearly eight hundred
thousand dollars (S797. 845.25). That
this money is we'll and safely invested
is evidenced by it's statement to the
commissioner that it had on that date.
only S33. 81 of interest on it's loans
which was more than IL months over
due. 1t further reported that upon
that date it did not own a dollars
worth Of real estate acquired under
foreclosure, showing the clear cut
character Of it's investments. and
another monument to the careful
attention and good judgment of its
board of directors in investing the
banks funds.
This record and the policy of the
bank is daily appealing to those pru-
dent, careful persons who have funds
to deposit, hence the steady growth
which this bank has enjoyed.
The bank guarantees four per cent
on deposits and pays all taxes on
deposits of any amount. Banking by
mail is now considered absolutely safe.
and persons at distance need have no
hesitation in sending money to this
bank by registered letter. check, posta!

Orleans Team Puts Indian Sign on New
I In one of the quickest games ever
played at the park here, Orleans with
purely local aggregation took the
Newport team into camp. Bassett al
lowed only four hits during the game
and except in the second inning when
an error. followed by a single and
double pushed one run across the plate
for Newport. was invincible in tight
places. Kennisonsfor Newport. pitched
good game, but errors at critical
times, with some punched hitting put
three runs across in the fourth and two
more in the fifth, giving Orleans lead
which was not even approached. With
the Bassett battery going as well as
they did yesterday, it would seem that
there was no call for outside help in
that department., in playing local
teams. Pike played good game at
short and was there with the big stick.
Orleans made several errors, but with
one exception they did not count
against them in the final score. In the
fourth inning Newport looked danger
Gus with two men on and only one out
but fast double play retired the side.
A strong wind kept the hits we'll in
and Turnbull at second handled five
flies without an error although in his
anxiety to cover much ground it was
at times hard to tell whether he was
playing second or right field. Orleans
has conclusively shown that they have
plenty of good local material for first
class ball team, and the game of next
Saturday with North Troy will be
watched with much interest as Troy
has been having some very fast games
of late. Saturdays game will be at
North Troy but it is expected that
there will be a return game and while
there was a fair-slzed crowd yester-
day. the team actually needs the sup
port of everybody. Following is the
score by innings: =

Silage Cows Can Eat,

The amount OF siIage to feed a cow
VIII depend upon the capacity Of the
animal to take feed. She should no
fed as much as she will clean IN with
out waste when consumed along with
her hay and grain. Raise or lower
the amount until the proper quantity
is ascertained. Generally speaking. a
good COW should be fed just short of
the limit Of her appetite. If she re-
fuses any of her feed it should be re-
duced at once. The small breeds will
take twenty-five or thirty pounds per
day, the large breeds about forty and
the medium sized ones amounts vary
ing between.

ahead Of the natural schedule. but
cause injury to oviduct and digestive
system, often kill the hen or burn out
her egg machinery so she never lays
again. 1t does seem cowardly to sneak
dope into an unsuspecting hens food.
1t often causes suffering and certainly
is unnecessary where hens are of good
stock. the proper age and properly
cared for. People should be satisfied
with a fair return on the investment,
but high egg prices influence some to
thus drive their hens too fast. This is
why breeding stock is often no good
in the spring. They have been work
ed to death all winter. and what eggs
they lay are generally small, infertile
or hatch weak chicks.

GET READY FOR SUMNER.

This is a good time to be thinking
about the silo as a means of taking

get the literature of the various silo
concerns. This will not only set forth
detailed descriptions Of the various
silos made. but will contain much au.
thentic silo information. 1t will be IL
good plan also to visit those neighbors
who have silos and find out what they
think Of sila.e as a feed, how their
cows are doing this winter as COM
pared with last. when no silage vas

line of sheep growing as Il small farm
industry. says the Kansas Farmer.
Properly handled there is no more
profitable farm animal. Another writer
in this same bulletin seems to give the
sheep more consideration AS a meat
producing animal. This writer takes
up in detail the various ways in which
the average farm can get into the meat
production business. One of the pos
Sibilities he mentions is: by raising
sheep more extensively in the corn belt
and in the eastern states. The impor-
lance of the wool industry causes
farmers to overlook the value of sheep
for mutton and as weed destroyers. \
