These expressions came from a case-hardened

COMMUNITY PRIDE AN ASSET
The Town That Cares for Its General
Appearance Is the Town That
VIII Prosper.

Community pride is an asset, and II
is one Of the greatest of all assets.
The town that improves its streets,
cleans up the alleys, paints the houses,
cuts the grass, rakes the lawns and
plants its flowers is not only encour
aging cleanliness, but Is making for
Itself a anne among the peoples of
the outer world.
Commercial travellers and others
come, and look, and go away and talk
and the talk is all in favor Of the
town and its people.
Talk travels. and grows, and null.
tiplies until the town becomes known
In many climes for its cleanliness and
progressiveness.
In time other men who are looking
for a change of location hear of this
town-and then they go, and look, and
talk, and are pleased, and it becomes
their home.
And the town continues to expand
and progress, and as the years roll by
1t gradually assumes larger proper
tons and a more commanding and
dominating position in the world.
When Community Pride comes in
Prosperity enters by its side, and the
two become the mighty levers that
control the machinery of success.
Personal Pride and Community
Pride should march side by side, for
when these two potent factors join
hands in a laudable purpose opposi.
ton quickly melts away.-Laredo

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
f~rst-cutting alfalfa composed Of at
least half foxtail and weeds, LOT three
and f~our-year-old native range steers
weighing approximately $40 pounds
each were fed by the California Sta
ton for 46 days on a daily ration Of
1915 pounds of alfalfa hay, 20.2 pounds
Of silage. and S.4 pounds rolled barley.
They made an average daily gain OF
1.53 pounds per head, requiring per
pound Of gain SO pounds Of hay, 1911
pounds Of silage and 81 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 a dark brown color and
Of slightly calculated, aromatic flavor.
That in the lower part Of the silo was
o moist than that in the upper
part and was apparently relished best
by the steers. While most Of the
siIage was not taken with particular
relish 1t was always eaten up clean,
with the exception Of a few days dur.
ing the middle Of July, when a layer
Of partially spoiled silage was reached,
at a point where the filling Of the silo
had been interrupted for a few days.
The foxtail heads, which would have
caused great trouble in feeding the
alfalfa as hay. were eaten before hav.
ing a 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 u Just as much as other stock
on the farm. Shade during the hot
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
at least three times a day with fresh.
pure cold water.

SiQns That Save.

A decided decrease in the number
Of traffic accidents is reported from
Portland, Ore, since the installation
there Of a comprehensive system Of
warning signs. The signs consist of
red steel dials 1S inches in diameter
mounted on steel rods sunk three feet
in concrete at the curbs and standing
eight feet deep on the top of the dial.
The dials are painted Eight red with
black letters, and read: School, Care
full" Caution, Bridge" Caution,
Steep Grade" Danger, Drive Slowly"
Hospital. Quiet caution. Fire Sta
tion." Danger. No outlet" eau.
ton. Dangerous Corner and SO on.
The signs are set in pairs about 100
feet from the danger point and in oil
street directions from 1t, and are so
placed that the street lights will shine
upon them at night. Portland has a
population of about 10000 greater
than Rochester, and embraces more
than twice the area Of this city,
Rochester Post-Express.
