WOLINS IN BANK VAULTS
Maker Says 20 Instruments VIII Be
Worth $1,000 Each in
Future.

In the vaults of the Mercantile
Trust and Deposit company, where
thousands of dollars worth of securi
ties and other valuables have been
placed for safe keeping, twenty OF
more violins of all descriptions have
been packed carefully away by their
owner in the hope that some day they
will make him independently rich, a
Baltimore dispatch to the Philadelphia
Record states.
The owner is Frank Della Tore of
1929 North Calvert street, prominent
in society. The instruments do not
represent much value now, but 20
years hence, the owner says, there
isn't an instrument among them that
will bring less than $4,000 or $4,000.
Della Tore now is in England.
About eight months ago he was called
to Europe on business, and has been
there ever since. But for months be-
fore he sailed he occupied his time in
collecting all kinds of violins and re-
making them. In this sort of work he
is remarkably skillful. But it is the
old violin that produces the tone
which appeals to the trained ear of
the musician and commands high
prices. Twenty years hence, it is be-
lieved, violins of Della Tore will be
classed with the best instruments to
be found in America.

FASHION FIXES THE PRICE
Ignorance of Real Value Of Fabric
Plays Buyer Into Hand of
Merchant.

That fashion and not intrinsic value

speaking of "gaberdine," the season 3

it's been given this new French name
of the wooden goods so popular this
spring, we can't make enough of it.
Naturally, when the supply get short,
the price goes up. It's our chance
and the retailer's-and we both take
it." This is an excellent illustration
of the way in which ignorance of the
real value of fabric plays the buyer

| stances that nourish plant and animal
life are made available.
Another important factor is good
shelter, protection from heat and
cold. 1t requires food to maintain heat
in the body, and the amount required
for this is much greater if the ami
mails do not have protection from the
| cold. On some farms the amount of
| feed required to keep up heat is more
than the amount converted into
| growth and fat.
| Many of us fail to preserve our
feeding crops in way to make them
palatable and digestible. If they are
not palatab1e they will not be eaten,
| and IL they are not digestible they will
| produce no good results.
Too much of the food finds its way
| into the manure without being eaten
on account of not being palatable,
and much that is eaten many times
fails to nourish on account of not be-
ing digestible.
Overripe hay that is damaged, over
ripe straw, corn fodder and stalks that
have become woody contain but
small per cent of nutritive value which
they would have possessed had they
been cut and cured at the proper time.
The silo offers way by which we
can preserve our corn crop at time
when it is of the greatest feeding
value and keep it without waste and
preserve it in the best, most palatable
condition, SO that it will furnish the
greatest possible amount of nourish-
ment.
If you have silo, the stalks may be
improved by cutting and fed to the
stock after being sprinkled with water
and little mill feed.
II preserved in good condition, the
cattle will consume about all Of the
hay, straw and fodder with very little
waste, and SO yield us all the profit
there is in them.
1t seems the height of folly to grow
good crops and feed them out under
conditions that will not allow OF
profits.
No single crop will form balanced
ration for any animal, when fed alone.
We need to make combining foods a
study if we would feed them to the
best advantage. We must remember
that we are keeping our farm stock I'M
der more artificial conditions every
year and if we confine them to one
kind Of food, they cannot make the |
best gains and keep in healthy condi-
ton. Unless they have the kind of |
food best suited to their needs their |
development is slow and uncertain. !
The soil stands ready to give large re-
turns to intelligent farmers. Every
well bred animal on the farm, by the
very law of its being, is ready and able
to assist in giving additional value to
all crops that are grown on the farm,
II we only surround them with the
right conditions. Successful feeding
depends entirely upon the man.

FEEDING VALUE OF
ALFALFA ENSILAGE
Interesting and Instructive Re.
port of Experiments Made
at California Station.

With a view to determining the
feeding value of silage made from
first-cutting alfalfa composed of at
least half foxtail and weeds, 107 three
and four-year-old native range steers
weighing approximately $40 pounds
each were fed by the California Sta
tion for 46 days on a daily ration Of
1915 pounds of alfalfa hay, 20.2 pounds
OF silage, and 84 pounds rolled barley.
They made an average daily gain OF
1.53 pounds per head, requiring per
pound of gain SO pounds of hay, 13.1
pounds of silage and ga pounds Of
barley.
The alfalfa was put into the silo
about May 1, and feeding was begun
in July. The silage as fed out was
well made, of dark brown color and
OF slightly calculated, aromatic favor.
That in the lower part Of the silo was
more moist than that in the upper
part and was apparently relished best
by the steers While most of the
silage was not taken with particular
relish it was always eaten up clean,
with the exception Of few days dur
ing the middle of July, when layer
of partially spoiled silage was reached,
at Z point where the filling OF the silo
had been interrupted for few days.
The foxtai1 heads, which would have
caused great trouble in feeding the
alfalfa as hay, were eaten before hav-
Ing . chance to dry out.

POULTRY REQUIRE
SOME PROTECTION
Shade Is lust as Necessary Dur
ing Summer as Sunny Spots
Are in Winter Season.

Poultry requires protection from the
hot sun just as much as other stocl
on the farm. Shade during the hoi
days is just as necessary as sunny
spots are in cold weather. But all
places where the sun does not shine
are not fit for poultry. A damp, con.
fined atmosphere Is worse than the
blazing sun. Roup, rheumatism and
other ills quite frequently result from
ranging in such localities. The close,
sitting air found in tight buildings, un-
der floors, or in stable lofts is scarce
ly any better. In such localities dis
ease may be contracted, vermin null
tiplied, and the profit side Of the poul-
try ledger remains blank.
Poultry of all kinds delight In the
shade furnished by an open shed, so
arranged as to admit the air from all
points of the compass. The floor
should be of earth and should be
spaded occasionally. The fowls will
enjoy the dust bath and keep cool at
the same time.
A very frequent cause for hens not
laying in hot weather Is lack of water.
At this time they should be provided
1t least three times day with fresh,
pure cold water.

By W. M. KELLY
In order to grow successful crops fol
less cost than they will sell for in the
market, we must feed them out on the
| farm, so that we shall realize more
than the market price for them, and
thus make two profits. Could we mar.
| ket what we raise for an increased
| price we would not need to raise SO
much to meet expenses. And il we
could realize profit above the mar
ket price for our feeding crops, we
should in many instances double our
| incomes, and without adding to the
cost of production and SO have less
| cause to complain of low prices and
| overproduction.
The first step towards more profit
able feeding is improved stock. There
are very few farms that are not sup
porting animals at loss on account of
their inferior quality.
We should keep not only more good
stock, but we should keep those that
are adapted to our needs.
Diversified farming is the safest.
Different soils require different crops;
and upon all, farm rotation is essential
to profitable production. But the feed
ing of live stock is a separate and
distinct branch Of the business; and
the narrower the limits to which we
confine ourselves the better the re-
suits.
. Study the adaptation of your farm;
its location to good markets, your own
likes and dislikes and then specialize
upon the kind of stock husbandry that
judgment teaches is best for your
farm.
The beef producer will not find it
profitable to keep Jerseys, nor the
dairyman Herefords.
It is feeding special-purpose animals
that has enabled feeders to realize
profits on the amount of feed that is
consumed and it is the feeding Of dairy
animals that has enabled dairymen to
make their business profitable.
The better the animals the larger
the profits, and the animals that are
bred for special purposes are more
certain of giving good results.
While it is my opinion that dairy
farming is the most profitable manner
OF realizing good profits on home
grown feeds, yet it is out of the ques-
ton for all of us to become dairy farm |
ers. Some will do better with sheep |
and some with horses.
It is not profitable for a man to |
handle animals that he does not like |
and that he can take no pride and in
terest in keeping in good condition.
The most important requisite for feed
ing any kind of stock is pure water
and plenty Of it; other things may be
neglected to certain extent, but the
water Is indispensable.
More than one-hah Of the live
weight Of all our domestic animals is
water, and water Is the universal sol
vent, the medium by which all sub

At that same moment Guy Wad-
ham was seated in his room at the
town hotel. He looked blear-eyed
and anxious as he bent over lot of
documents and account books. Guy
was recovering from one Of his peri
Odical drinking bouts. A letter from
his uncle had checked him up short.
Mr.. Ashe had written from place
called Beacon, saying that he would
leave there Teusday evening and af-
ter brief stop at his home would
come on to Linden. Therefore he
might pop in on Guy at any moment.
What worried Guy was that he
might not have time to doctor up his
accounts so as to present the usual
plausible showing of profits with
which he usually succeeded in pulling
the wool over the eyes of the credu-
lous old fellow"

up, making the inquiry: HAS William |
Ashe left Beacon?"
1t was 5 o'clock in the afternoon
when he received the following reply:
''He died last night"
For a few minutes Guy Wadham
was shocked He knew his uncle had |
not been in very good health for sew

sudden. Selfish, heartless as he was,
Guy was stunned mentally.
Then he rushed down to the cafe
of the hotel. He had refrained from
drink since morning, so that should

would not trace any signs of liquor.
