Many consumers do not appreciate the
value Of this credit. and many merchants
have therefore changed to cash basis.
They observe that the consumer is willing
to pay in advance when purchasing from
the Catalogue houses, and they figure that
is the way people prefer to buy. II is GER
tainly much more convenient for the dealer.
The mail order houses seem TO thrive on
this basis. They all demand the money even
before they will permit an inspection of
the goods. They take II for granted that
they themselves are honest. but are from

consumer. As for accommodating GUS

The rural credit system has proven a
necessity. Anything that Injuries II is
bound to vitality affect the farmer. Yet
occasionally it is misused. For instance, a
man buys during the intervals between
harvests at the local stores, on credit
Then when he sells his products and is
supplied with cash. he sends away from
home for his merchandise. Is this treat
ing the local merchant, who has in effect
served as his customers financial hacker
during the whole year, fairly and squarely !?
Not only is 1t wrong from an ethical view
point. but eventually II Is bound to under
mine the very rocks on which the rural
credit system is built.

A Great Scheme.

Explosions in powder mills are fire.
quent, as everyone knows, but they
occur not nearly so often as formerly,
owing to greater precaution, and when
they do happen there is little or no d.
rect liability on the part Of the manu-
facturers in them, being purely acci-
dental. Despite that fact, however
the powder companies assume the
burden Of paying for the damage done
by explosions to private property in
erty, in New Jersey at least, by law,
can be no nearer than one mile Of the
powder mills. Naturally the articles
most easily broken are glass ware and
Of plaster.
The leading powder company has
the name Of paying for such damage
without delay and with considerable
grace which fact is taken advantage
Of by certain householders with a Gu
rious idea Of thrift or with the idea OF
putting one over on the corporation y
who, according to agents Of the pow
der makers, store up all the household
ware broken in ordinary domestic use
until there is an explosion in the mill
and then send the bill to the powder
company. 1t is claimed that a few
people, desirous Of having the house
newly plastered, have deliberately torn
down shaky part and then waited fol
the next explosion. which is duly
blamed for the damage. Despite that
knowledge. the agents say the powder
company pays the bill. Recently the
Aetna Explosives paid $4,000 on ac-
count Of one explosion for window
breakage in the city Of Gary, Ind.
which is near its mills.-Wall Street

Then, after long pause, he went on:
He wasna wearing a beard, a red
beard trimmed down to a spike-this
writer-man, when you found him, was

She shook her head. mo; I have

The sick man turned his face to the
wall, and after a time she heard him
repeating softly the words which she
had just read to him. But if ye for

He is; saw him on the street this
morning.
Again Andrew Galbraith turned his
face away, and he was quiet for so
long a time that she thought he had
fallen asleep. But he had not.

Her answer was such as a child

CHAPTER XVII.
The Quality of Mercy.

On no less all authority than that OF
the great doctor who came again from
Chicago for a second consultation
with Doctor Farnham, Andrew Gal
braith owed his life during the two
days following his return to conscious
ness to the unremitting care and de-
votion Of one person.
Seconding the efforts Of the physi-
clans, and skillfully directing those of
the nurses, Margery threw herself into
the vicarious struggle with the gener-
Gus self lf-sacrifice which counts neither
cost nor loss; and on the third day
she had her reward. Her involuntary
guest and charge was distinctly bet
ter, again, so the two doctors de-
clared, the balance was inclining
slightly toward recovery.
1t was in the afternoon Of this third
day, when she had been reading to
him, at his own request the sayings OF
the Man on the Mount, that he re-
ferred for the first time to the details
of the accident which had so nearly
blotted him out. Upon his asking, she
related the few and simple facts Of
the rescue, modestly minimizing her
own part in it, and giving her COM
panion in the catboat full credit.
"The writer-man," he said thought
fully, when she had finished telling
him how Griswold had worked over
him in the boat, and how he would not
give up. "I remember; you fetched
him out to the hotel with you one
day; no, you medina fear I'll be for
getting him." Then, with a shrewd
look out of the steel-grey eyes: How
long have you been knowing him.
Maggie, child?"
"Oh, for quite long time," she has
tened to say. HE came here, sick and
helpless, one day last spring, and
we'll, there isn't any hospital here in
Wahaska, you know, so we took him
in and helped him get over the fever,
or whatever it was. This was his room
while he stayed with u.s."
Andrew Galbraith wagged his head
on the pillow.
"I know" he said. And ye're doing
it again for a poor auld man whose
siller has never brought him anything
like the love you're spending on him.
You're everbady's good angel, I'm
thinking, Maggie, lassie." Though he
did not realize it. has sickness was
bringing him day by day nearer to his
far-away boyhood in the Inverness
shire hills, and 1t was easy to slip into

sILos PROFITABLE
Custom Of "cannins" Food for Cattle
Has Proven Worth.

Custom Of "cannins" Food for Cattle
Has Proven Worth.
In preparing winter luncheons for
their herds the beef cattle men, as well
as dairy farmers, initiate June" by
backing silos full Of succulent feed
says Madisow, Wis, dispatch. Silage
has become as essential to the profits
on q beef cattle farm as in the dairy
business. Many Wisconsin stockmen
who have tried this form Of feed ap-
preciate the feeling of the Iowa feed
er, who said:
II could feed cattle without shed,
and without much corn, but I couldn't
feed cattle any more without silo.'
Silos have solved the problem of
profitable beef making on high priced
land. Cattle men found that the car
rying capacity Of the farm can be
doubled by the use Of them.
This year with probability OF
some soft corn at harvest time, silos
on beef cattle farms will be double
protection. They not only guarantee
supply of feed for the herds, but
insure against loss Of crops. An added
advantage in having them Is that
silage-fed steers are finished with
much less shelled corn or other grain.
Too. the silage gives finish that Is
up to the standard. when fed with a
protein feed, as cottonseed meal and
good clover or alfalfa hay.
Cutting down the waste in cattle
feeding means adding to the profits.
When corn is husked and the stalks
left standing in the field, approx
mately one-half Of the food value Is
lost. Even when the fodder Is cut,
and kept under the most favorable
conditions, 1t loses much Of its nour-
ishment. This waste Is increased by
the portions Of the stalks left uneaten
when fodder Is fed.
Not so with silage. The entire corn
plant is cut into the silo. Protected
there from teaching and evaporating,
even the juices Of the crop are saved.
When this giant can Of corn is OPEN
ed the coarsest parts Of the stalks are
cleaned up by the stock.
The succulence Of silage keeps the
animals in good health, 80 that they
make the most Of the feed eaten. An
authority estimates that in beef pro-
duction, from one-thlrd to one-half a
pound more of gain can be counted ON
with a succulent form Of feed than
will be obtained from the same food
in dry form. Usually valued at $3.50
a ton in the silo, silage has been
shown, by experiments, to be worth
as much as Sc a ton in beef cattle
feeding. Only those farmers, however,
who have cut down their feed bills
and increased the profits on their
steer crops can fully appreciate the
money value Of silage.
