sILAGE MAKES BUTTER.

Convincing Results Of an Experiment.
at an Agricultural College.
It does not need any special argu'
rnent or showing Of facts to convince
Wisconsin dairymen OF the great supe-
riority of corn ensiIage as an economic
feed for cows. says Hoard's Dairyman.
Those who hare combined the silage
With alfalfa pay get still 'grssssFsEe'
suits.
But we know that there are skeptics
among our readers in other states.
For their special benefit we give the
following brief account Of q trial car
ried on by the Minnesota College OF
Agriculture.
Two hundred and sixteen cows were
fed on silage az compared with ZOS
cows fed on dry ratiOns. The results
showed that the silage fed cows pro-
duced fifty-nine pounds more OF butter
fat yearly per cow than the other cows.
This amounted to $500 per COW In
favor of feeding silage.
The following year another trial was
had. with a gain in favor Of the silaEe
fed COWS Of forty-seyen pounds OF but
ter fat. The silage fed cows consumed
s7.10 worth Of feed more than the dry
fed cows. but when this II Subtracte0
they still show a decided gain over the
others.

 Natural Vitalitas

There is only one known spot on the earth's surface in which the remarkable mineral stratum is found yielding Vital itas. That one spot is marked by q large mound and is in the flat country of Texas. Geological investigations show that the stratum extends downward from the interior of the mound deep into the earth. It is estimated there is supply sufficient to benefit the human race of all countries for years to come.
 The main ingredients of Vitalitas are well krvwn to chemists. and, in fact, constitue the base of some of the medi- cines most used by physicians. Attempts have been made by skilled chemists to reproduce Vitalitas syntheticaly. but such have met with entire failure.
 Vitalitas Is the most wonderful medici- nal agent that nature has given to hu- manity It excels any of the known min eral waters in corrective and curative results. It has no harmful ingredients and is wonderfully beneficial in the treat ment of such ailments as indigestion, rheumatism, nervous debility. catarrhal troubles, etc. In fact. many derange- ments of stomach liver, kidneys, bowels and blood are relieved and cured by Vitalitas

Making An American

From the Milwaukee Journal.
 It isn't always easy for the foreigner in America to become an American citi- zen. When it proves hard and the man still goes on to success, he's the kind of a citizen we need. the kind of a man who from the first has made America.
 This is the story of Mane Trayica. q Croatian, living in Milwaukee, who want. cd to be naturalized but failed to pass the examination, who tried again and failed, but who wouldn't give up. There was some reason for his failure. He was teamster and had to get up at o'clock in the morning to reach his work on time. man may be pardoned who doesn't feel at 4. Most of us would par don ourselves very quickly. Travica came up for his third examination the other day. came and passed it so admir- ably that those who heard him wondered Then he explained.
 He had given up his job to study the things man must study If he would be- come an American citizen. And he had mastered them. So greatly did this man desire the blessing that comes to most of so cheaply that we forget how great it is.
 America needs all the immigrants like Mane Travica that she can get. Mil waukee needs them. They are men who appreciate what America means.
