SILAGE IN WINTER
HELPS LIVE STOCK
There Is a Tendency Among
Farmers to Forget Resolution
to Construct Sio.

(By PROF. C. LARSEN. North Dakota
Agricultural College.)
A great many farmers make reso-
lutions during the wintertime that
they will not go through another win
ter without silage to feed the stock.
When the cornstalks are in the fields
covered with snow, the feed for the
stock is getting short, the cows are
losing in milk, and the young stock
in flesh, such resolutions come easy,
but when spring and summer come on
and cows and young stock are doing
well in the pasture, and when there
are good prospects for a big crop yield
there is tendency to forget about
the resolution made during the winter
about the building Of sio.
Do not let rosy prospects for good
crop delay or prevent anyone from
building silo. Build silo Of some
kind. II we have a good crop the silo
will help to make more of it. II we
have a small crop 1t is still more i'm
portant that we preserve some good
winter feed for the stock.
1t is not question Of the kind OF
silo. No one will be prepared to say
which is the best silo. There is no
one silo that has all Of the good points.
But any silo has enough good points
to make 1t paying investment. Re-
sides, it is so much more comfortable
to take care Of cows and stock with
silos. The writer now has It's tons of
silage left. This will be fed to the
cows during the summertime. There
will be no pasture for the cows. That
will be plowed up to be put into corn
to fill more silos-and more silage will
make room for still more cows. Those
who build silo and keep cows and
young stock will never regret it.

JUDGES INCREASE FINES IN EFFORT TO RI
LOOP OF PROSTITUTES

The loop, where over half million
citizens must go daily to shop or
work, is growing unsafe because OF
the number of prostitutes which
flock there daily to ply their trade,
according to statement OF Judge
Heap in the morals court He is in
creasing the fines imposed upon them
in hope of driving them away.
There are many persistent pros
titutes who march up and down the
loop streets and alongside of decent
women and children and pick up
men," declared Judge Heap. 1--WE are
going to make it impossible for them
to thrive.
Capt Morgan Collins, recently
appointed in charge of the central de-
tail, has offered to cooperate with
me in driving these offenders from
the shopping place of Chicago. He
has instructed his men to arrest
them on sight.
at seems that the women of the
city and their boys and girls cannot
come to the loop to shop without as
sociating with these prostitutes in the
crowds. Business men and young
boys alike are stopped by them.
Travelling men on the way from
the depot to their hotels have been
solicited. They go from Chicago to
blazen forth its reputation as i'm
moral in its very heart.

IDEAS ABOUT THE MOON
Many Interesting hut Unscientific
Theories Regarding Dark Spots.

great many curious ideas exist in
various parts of the world regarding the
dark spots In the moons disk In the
eastern part of Asia the spots are be-
lieved to be a rabbit or a hare: the Chi
nese. In particular, look upon them as a
hare sitting up and pounding rice in
mortar. Most OF the Siamese take the
same view. Some few, however, see in
the moon man and woman working in
field. Cur!ously enough, the North
American Indians have almost the same
superstition as the Chinese; and on old
monuments In Central America the moon
appears as a jug or vessel out of which
an animal like a rabbit is jumping.
The South American Indians, on the
other hand. believe that a girl, who had
fallen in love with the moon, sprang up
1t. and that 1t is her figure which Is seen
on the moons face.
The Samoa islanders look on the spots
as representing woman carrying child,
and many other southern peoples have
similar beliefs. the woman and child

The habitants of northwestern India
who account for the moons monthly
disappearance by declaring that she is
burnt up regularly and replaced by a
fresh moon. explain the dark marks by
saying they are the ashes Of the former
moon.
Other nations explain her disappearance
in various ways: the Dakota Indians have
1t that she is eaten up by mice; the
Polynesian superstition is that the souls
Of the dead feed on her; according to
the Hottentots, the moon suffers from
headache. and when it gets very bad she
hides her head with her hand and covers
up her face from the gaze of the world :;
the Eskimos maintain that after shining
for three weeks she gets tired and
hungry, and withdraws to take one enor-

then reappears and begins to shine again.
