When SiIo Is Invaluable

When the grass dies down and is
not worth much for pasture, the silo
is invaluable. Not only can silage be
fed profitably in the winter time. but
1t can be fed in the summer time
especially like 1914, when many farm.
ers were compelled to sell live stock
at a sacrifice on account of lack of
pasture.

lM0ND FOUND A WAY

John Hays Hammond is not only
one of the foremost mining engineers
In the world. He is also a good
sport as is illustrated by this little
story: Some years ago Mr.. Hammond
took charge of the Colorado mines of
an English syndicate, and found on
the books claim of a Colorado
Springs promoter for $4,000
Hammond got hold of the claim
ant and talked with him about it over
the phone. The latter said that he
could do nothing about it and that
any proposition must go through his
lawyer. He agreed to meet Ham,
mond In Colorado Springs and talk
to him further about the case.
Hammond came down from the
mines, armed with a blank check,
determined to wipe the claim off the
company's books. even If he had to
pay the claim. as business was good.

soned, have the gambling instinct,
and he decided 70 resort IN a pama nf

WHAT MEN LIKE

Men like pretty home-makers, no mistake there. You can ap- preciate beauty as we'll as the next one, but they want that beauty to be of an order that ap- peals to comfort. Of what good are cushions so elaborately em. broidered that no head can rest on them? What sense is there in easy chairs of such rich mat terial that they are quite the re- verse of the name given them? Is there any satisfaction in a room the furnishings of which cost hundreds of dollars, when it IS only open at rare intervals, when the owner. perhaps. sits by the kitchen fire or in some dinQy sitting-room, where h e can put his feet on the fen Ter, if he wants to, can smoke, and as a great indulgence, tilt back his chair?

THE NEED FOR RURAL CREDITS
 OR CHEAPER MONEY

A commercial banker on de- mand has to instantly find money to pay his depositors: he agrees to do it. When you give him a deposit there not a word said but the spirit and life and law of the institution are that you cal go back in the next five minutes and draw it out again without word being said. In other words, it is a demand payment the banker receives from you as a deposit, unless you make a contract with him for a time deposit. That being true these banks cannot in the very nature of their lives, and in the very nature of their law, and the very nature of their being, make long time loans.
 On the other hand, the history of agriculture teaches that it can- not live and progress under any thing but longtime loans. There is the point in it. There is the exact point in it, and that is the reason agriculture has to pay the enormous interest h a it does, and that is the reason the banker cannot lend as he ought to, or maybe as a lot of them would like to do, to the man who is farming. Then this drives the man who is farming to go to the merchant for his financial re-

sources, and in the South of the men who have raised cotton, not on bank finances, but on the sup- ply merchants finances. Not on the enormous 10 to 12 per cent interest, but on the yet more enormous 50 to 200 per cent pro- fit demanded bv the time mer- chant. That is the condition our farmers are in today. and that is the condition they will stay in until the statesmen of this coun- try wake up and realize that these men in the woods are net the greenhorns they are suppoS- ed to be; that they do know the necessities of their lives; that they do know these demands, and then look backward to the experience of the countries from which we come and acknowledge that we are 200 or 300 years be- hind the times with regard to right dealing with agriculture. - H. s.

EXCELLENT PROSPECTS,

A young singer who had been studying for opera work had the good fortune to be engaged by an impresario for tour through South America. His chest swell ed with pride as be walked the deck of the steamer that was to take him on his first trip to for cign lands. On the second morn ing out he was much surprised tc meet an old classmate, who like himself, was a tenor singer.
 Well, well, where'd you come rom? Where are you going?" each asked the other.
 And each answered, I'm en- saged by an opera company for South American tour.
 My manager is on this steam r." said one.
 Ant mine too. '
 Within five minutes both sing CTS found that they had been en- gagged by the same opera comp any for the same part. What does the man intend by having two understudies for the role of first tenor?" asked one.
 Pardon me, interrupted a youth who had been standing near, and overheard their con- versation. You h a V e myself and two other young singers for companions in this affair. We have just found out to our nut ual surprise that we have been engaged by the same man for the:same part on the same tour. What under the sun can he mean by having five first tenors?'
 The five youths then got to- gether, and, after talking {. the matter over, decided that they would see the manager and de- mand an explanation.
 They found forward. He list ened, seemingly amused. at their complaint, and said, Gentlemen, don't you worry. 1 am an old and experienced man in this game and know what l am doing. If you were acquainted with the climate of South America, you would know yourselves that t Is absolutely necessary. We shall scarcely arrive there before three or four of you fellows will de stricked with the deadly tropical fever. Experience has taught me ] in all my tropical tours to allow for all sorts of mishaps and mis- fortunes. Of course, you can see what excellent prospects are offered to the chap who is able to withstand everything" A n d with these words the manager retired to his cabin.
 The five young singers then got together and debated the excellent prospects," They soon came to a decision. One chance in five of being a star singer in- stead of a dead one did not prove sufficiently attractive. So when the steamer stopped at Liverpool, the youths went ashore, and the impresario never saw them a. gain. Youths Companion.
