WOULD HAVE SIL0
WITH EVERY BARN
There Are at Least Ten Good Reasons
for BUILDING a SIo.

There Are at Least Ten Good Reasons
for Building Silo.
Roy T. Harris, supervisor of Wiscon-
sin dairy tests, and recognized au-
thority on dairying, a few days ago
listed these in this order:
1. Because corn in the silo is like
money in the bank-ready for use
when most needed.
2. Because silage is the best, cheap
est, most economical and generally sat
isfactory green winter feed for dairy
COWS.
3. Because silage fed in winter main
tains the herd in healthy condition
and increases production without in
creasing cost.
4. Because silage will supplement
poor pasture in summer drought and
help to prevent that July-August slump
which no amount of grain feeding can
overcome.
5. Because corn, our most prOduc-
tive forage crop, by means of the silo,
can be harvested with less labor, less
expense, less waste and In Detter con-
dition to feed than by any other
method
6. Because the silo takes care of the
corn crop before frost; or, in case of
early freezing, saves what otherwise
would be total loss.
Z. Because it removes the crop from
the ground early, leaving the field free
for blowing or other purposes.
s. Because it saves labor summer
and winter; makes it possible to raise
more feed to keep more cows on the
same acreage and substitutes certainty
for uncertainty in the management of
the herd to an extent impossible in
any other way.
9. Because the silo yields greater re-
turns in proportion to cost than any
other building on the farm.

Merry Merney of Wisconsin, in
6S86 butter fat

of 19,304.6 pounds of milk and 1915
pounds of butter fat
Probably the most pronounced char
acteristics of this breed are it's remark
able longevity and length of produc-
tiveness. Brown Swiss COWS are still
in their prime at ten to twelve years
of age and they frequently reproduce
up to sixteen and eighteen years Of
age. Instances are on -'ecord where
COWS eighteen and twenty-three years
of age have given birth to calves, still
returning the usual dairy profits to
the owner While they may not con-
form as closely to the ideal dairy con-
formation as other breeds, they GER
tainly prove to be persistent and
profitable producers. They are espe-
cially hardy and vigorous.
1t happens that the secretary Of the
American association of Brown Swiss
cattle breeders is a Wisconsin stock
man, Ira Inman of Rock county.

Rested After His Run.

After a wild run in South Boston, in
which the animal tore down about
twenty feet of wooden fence,
smashed down a section of brick wall,
broke few windows in schoolhouse,
snapped off short a lamp post and
crashed through a wooden gate, incl
dentally damaging the sides of two
buildings, not to mention injuring the
three men who were on the wagon, a
horse attached to a brewery wagon
wedged himself in a narrow alleyway
and when found was munching con-
tentedly such grass as he could reach

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inf1amed condition Of the mucous lining of
Eustachian Tube When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

of conditions is likely to cause a de-

This diversification is the natural
outcome of the adoption of the scien-
tific basis of successful farming, crop
rotation. Through it soil fertility is
not only maintained, but the tax laid
on production by parasitic pests, plant
and animal, is greatly reduced. When
Wisconsin farmers deserted the single
crop system of wheat raising a gen.

prosperity which promises to remain
with them.

WESTERN UNION IS NOT ALLOWED USE OF l. S N. RIGHT OF WAY
Supreme Court Reverses Former Attitude and De- cides All Poles Must
 Be Removed

Montgomery December 16.-(Special) On an appeal from the Dallas circuit court in the case of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company vs. Vest ern Union Telegraph company, heard at the November term of the supreme court of Alabama, an opinion was today given out by Mir Justice J. Gardner Justices Mayfield. Sayre and Thomas concurring; Justices Anderson, McClel- Ian and Somerville dissenting. It re- versed and remanded a former decision of the court based on an opinion rem dered some months ago by MT. Justice Edward deGraffenreid
 By the present proceeding the ap- company, seeks the condemnation of that portion of the right of way of the appellant, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company, on it's south Ala bama division from Selma to F1oma- ton; on it's Myrtlewood branch from Selma to Myrt1ewood; on it's Camden branch from Nadawah to Camden, which is already, it is claimed, occupied by the poles and wires of the petitioner, as telegraph line.
 Upon the first hearing the probate court of Dallas county denied the ap plication, an appeal was taken to the circuit court in that county, where the petition was likewise denied, and on appeal to the supreme court the cause was reversed. The second trial resulted in a judgment of condemnation and an assessment of damages of S1 by the jury. From this judgment the present appeal was prosecuted.
 Upon the former appeal in this case it is stated no opinion was written, but that the cause was determined upon the opinion of the supreme court rem dered at the same term in the case of the Western Union Telegraph com pany vs. South and North Alabama Railroad company. AS the result of that questions presented being identical, it is said that for the purposes of the present appeal the opinion referred to may be taken and considered as the opinion of the supreme court on the former appeal in this cause.
 As a result of the reversal of the former opinion, the Western Union Telegraph company will be required to move it's poles and wires from the right of way Of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, the court holding that there is no public necessity which will force the Louisville and Nashville railroad to allow the telegraph company to con- tinue the use of the right of way for it's business.
