sILo is QUITE ECONOMICAL
Preserves PaIatabiIlty and SuccuIence
of Green Corn Plant for Winter
Cattle Feeding.

The Indiana experiment station
gives the following practical reasons
why farmers who keep live stock
should build a silo Here they are:
The silo preserves the palatability
and succulence of the green corn
plant.
The silo increases the live stock ca
pacity of the farm.
Silage is a good summer feed when
pastures are short.
Because of the small amount OF
ground space required by the silo II
is an economical means Of storing
forage.
The siIo located near the feed man.
ger is an assurance of having feed
near at hand in stormy as well as
fair weather.
The silo assists in reducing the cost
Of grains in fattening cattle and sheep
Silage greatly increases the milk
flow during the winter season and
decreases the cost of production.
There are no stalks to bother in
the manure when corn is put into silo
All should understand that Stage
is not complete or balanced ration
1t is a succulent food and should be
supplemented with some balancing
dry feed.

THE END OF THE
ANT NUISANCE
No Need To Suffer Longer
From This Pest

An old philosopher once said, Cali
these things shall pass away" 1t was
long, long time after this truth was
given to the world, however, before a
means was discovered to make ants
pass away and stay away.
In the meantime thousands of wo-
men in all parts of the world have
been driven almost to distraction by
this intolerable household pest.
1t remained for mere man to find
the remedy. A baker and candymaker
in Los Angeles, whose place was over
run with ants, had reached a point
where he must either get rid of the
ants or go out Of business After
much experimenting he prepared a
paste which drove every ant out of
his shop in one day.
This wonderful remedy can now be
had at all druggists under the name of
Kellogg's Ant Paste. Try package
today, and you will never be annoyed
with ants hereafter (Advt.)

GOOD GROUNDS FOR POULTRY
Low, Heavy Soils Make Industry Pre-
carious-Much Of Success Depends
on Warm, Dry, Sandy Loan.

There are people who will tell you
that any kind Of ground will make
good poultry ground. 1t will not.
Chickens can live on tolerably barren
ground, but poultry success is not met
on ground too poor to bear vegetation.
Low, heavy soils make poultry rails
ing precarious. The loss by disease
of many kinds in certain flocks can be
traced directly to the low ground upon
which they feed and run. Such soil
is damp and cold the greater part of
the year.
The success of many a poultryman
is not always SO much due to his feed
and care as the warm, dry sandy loan
the fowls live on.
In buying ground upon which to
raise poultry look well to the ground
you buy. If it is not ideal poultry
ground IN soil, drainage and location,
you can scarcely make it that except
at a cost that eats up the profits fast.

SOME ILLUSIONS OF YoUTf
folding World to Child-Matter

about the things of the world are al
once the most appalling and the most
delicate things with which older per

| The conscientious mother who has
| taught her son that to lie Is to sin
knows quite well that when he grows
older he will learn that lies are of two
kinds, white and black, and that the
time will come when he will have to
tell white lies, and, because they are
so like the black lies against which
his mother admonished, he will find it
hard.
| And the father who looks upon his
daughters innocence with pride will
shudder little at the thought that
time will bring to her some cold ex

If he is fearful, it is not without rea
son; for on the parent devolves the
duty of guiding the disillusioning
process. AS this is done well or ILL.,
so will the child's view of life be in
fuenced, writer in the Indianapolis
News remarks. If, for instance, child
reared in home where kindness is
master is suddenly confronted with
the spectacle Of two drunken men
brawling in the street, the child's illu
sions are treated to an assault alto
gether beyond its power to combat.
In the course Of events, it would nat
urally learn that men get drunk and
fight, but that is revelation which
should come to a mind whose rules OF
conduct are pretty well established. In
this case the parent may well be
moved to anguish.
To unfold the world to child is
matter for meditation and ingenuity,
and the parent who leaves it to chance
is no less guilty of maltreatment than
the parent who wantonly exposes a
child to a contagious disease, for the
mind Of child is a delicate instru

IN FEEDING PROTEIN
Plenty of Right Kind Of Feed Is Re.
quired to Run Milk Machine to
Its Fullest Limit.

1t is great mistake to give the
cow Indifferent care until her milk
flow has greatly diminished, then try
by feeding her heavy, to get her back
to her full flow.
The dairyman who withholds pro
tein foods until the COWS have cleaned
up all roughage will soon learn the
folly Of his ways when he adds the
figures Of his milk checks.
A worse mistake than high protein
feeding is made by many farmers
That mistake is not feeding enough OF
anything.
The man who goes into the dairy
business thinking that selecting good
cows and compromising balanced ra.

is sure to wake up a sadder and wiser
man.
It requires plenty Of feed to run the
cow machine to its full limits. This
limit varies more than most people
seem to think.

WHAT TO DO FOR
YOUR ITCHING SKIN

Eczema, ringworm and other itch
ing, burning skin eruptions are SO
easily made worse by improper treat
ment that one has to be very careful.
There is one method, however, tnar
you need not hesitate to use, even on
baby's tender skin-that is the
resinol treatment. Resinol is the pre-
scription of a Baltimore doctor, put
up in the form Of resinol ointment
and resinol soap. This proved so re-
markedly successful that thousands OF
other physicians have been prescribe
ing it constantly for 20 years.
Resinol stops itching instantly, and
almost always heals the eruption
quickly and at little cost. Resinol
ointment and resinol soap can be
bought at any druggists, and are not
at all expensive. Great for sunburn.
