is also an account due DR.. j. A..

this the fact that some of the
claims presented and allowed by
the referee were in excess of the
amount estimated in Hilsabeck's

his total liabilities are probably
between S110O and $1,000. There
is a S25 fee for his attorney and

About a hundred of the inhabitants
left in a body for America a few
weeks ago, and since then those who
were left behind have been moving
daily to neighboring villages and
towns. The village school was closed
not many days ago because there were
no more pupils, and on the following
Sunday service was held for the last

New Food fer Cattle.

Germany Is evolving an ever-in
creasing number of potato products
and thus rapidly solving the problem
of disposing of the once enormous
surplus of this crop. A number of es-
adjustments in that country are now
turning out quantities of dried pota-
toes, in various forms, for use In feed
ing cattle. According to a recent con-
sular report, dried potatoes do not
cause the forms of sickness that re-
suit from a diet of raw potatoes.
Moreover, raw potatoes can be pre-
served for only a limited time, while
to boil the potatoes would impose
upon the stock raiser more expense
than the circumstances justify. OFF,
cial tests have proved that the one
third of strengthening food generally
given to horses in the form Of grain
could be replaced by dried potatoes,
and such animals would be kept In

Most Important Essential Is to Find

table to Farmer.

In selecting a variety of corn Tor
silage always use one that will ma
ture its grain. Other things being
equal. select variety that produces
a large fodder as the yield will be
greater.
There are special ensilage varieties
such as virginia Ensilage corn, but
before trying any of these be sure 10
know whether or not it will mature
in your locality.
Corn can be planted somewhat thick
er than generally used in growing
grain but not thick enough to prevent
the good ear development.
One dairyman who has had good
success in growing corn for the sllo
and puts up about 1000 tons year
says that he plants one-third more
seed for the silage corn than for the
corn grown for grain.
The amount, however, depends much
upon the variety and the CONDITIONS OF
the soil.
The size of the silo of course de-
ponds upon the number of cattle to
be fed 1t should never be less than
20 feet high because pressure is neces-
sary to preserve the silage.
The higher the better. A good rule
is to have it twice as high as the
diameter. The following table will

CHANGE WITH THE YEARS
hood Lose Their SAVIOR to Those
of Advancing Age.

THE old story of the little boy who,
when asked how he knew when he
had enough, replied When things
what was good begins to taste bad,
then l know | have had enough was
brought forcibly to my mind when !
visited my father in Rochester, N. ""
said Robert Oliver of Albemarle coun-
ty, Virginia, at the Shoreham. MY
father is an Englishman, as l am. by
birth, and the old gentleman has la
bored under the delusion that every
thing that is grown in the tight little
island Is better than anything that
can be produced in this country.
among other decisions enjoyed by
the old gentleman Is that there Is no
apple on earth like tho Ripston pippin,
which was his favorite when a boy.
but happen to know that the Ripston
pippin Is identical with the Albemarle
pippin of our country. SO | shipped a
barrel of these Virginia apples to my
father, just before going to visit him.
The apples arrived the same day
did, and when they were opened his
delight was pleasant to see. He Sc
lected fine specimen, and remarked
that that was the real Ripston. He
ate part of 1t, but did not seem to
be over-enthusiastic, and when
pressed him to take another, he ad
mitted that 1t was probable his taste
had changed, and that the apple oil
fifty years ago might be no better
than the apple of today, but that his
digestive organs or his palate had
probably altered.
Il know he was right, for, remem
bering my early days, | recalled that
not long ago called upon my mother
to make a pudding that was my ex
IRENE delight when | was thirteen
She made it, and 1t is likely 1t was
just the same as she used to make
when l was boy. But 1t didn't taste
the same. / think l must have been
like the little boy. AS we grow older
we are prone to believe that the
things of the present are not like the
things of former days. William Win

Criticism Resented.

John Ruskin, the English art critic
once criticized in his fearless way a
picture of a well known painter, who
was very much grieved at the effect.
Later, on hearing of the sorrow he
he had caused, he wrote to the artist
that he regretted he could not speak
more favorably of the picture. but
hoped 1t would make no difference in
their friendship. The artist, 1t is
said, wrote in reply the following
note: Dear Ruskin: Next time
