Here is one Of George w. Cables
good southern stories.
In a town in Georgia lives an old
colored fellow who is a real thorn in
the side Of the local ministers, for the
old fellow is always asking embarrass-
ing questions of them touching
mooted theological points" says Mr..
Cable.
"One day old Eben had a long and
earnest discussion with his pastor In
reference to just what constituted a
miracle. The minister found it no
easy matter to make his ideas clear
to Eben.
Tpose. now said the preacher,

Mysteries Of Golf.


Josephus Daniels, secretary of the
navy, was invited the other day to &c
out and play golf
1 can't play it," said Daniels; 81
made up my mind some time ago not
to go in for golf until they change the
rules"
How do you mean?"
We'll, until they change the rules
and make it as good a game as
shiny"
That recalls the tale they tell about
the time Franklin K Lane. now secre-
tary of the interior, first undertook the
mastery of golf.
TWO enthusiasts over the game lent
large set of clubs to Lane and they
played a round When they had
reached the last hole Lane walked
over to the nearest teeing place and
began attempts to drive off with each
club In his sack, one after another.
The games all over" they ex-
planned, gently.
Well asked Lane, picking up an
other kind of club, cant / play my

FEEDING VALUE OF THE SlLO

Steers to Fatten-Silage Preferred

Ihose farmers who have never

not know how much money they are

erauons. No man who buys steers

this Is cut into silage, it will make a
sure profit, at present prices of cattle.
at from thirty to thirty-four dollars
per acre.
1t has been demonstrated conclu
sive'y that silage-fed steers brina
more money on the big market than
those that are fattened on whole corn
1t Is also fact well known to expert.
enced feeders that silage saves grain
and hay.
1t is true that corn fodder contains,
under chemical tests, more protein,
carbohydrates and fattening material
than silage, but the fact remains that
steers do not get all OF the benefit
from corn fodder, while about every
thing that is valuable as feed is con-
sumed in the silage.
Then silage. being quite bulky, is
an excellent feed given in connection
with ground grains and heavy meals,
as it aids greatly in their digestion.
Another thing. steers like silage. It
tastes good to them, and they eat II
with avidity.
steer prefers silage to dry corn
fodder just as a boy prefers pie to
dry corn bread, but in the case of the
steer. the silage is better food for
him than the pie is for the boy.
Place silage and dry corn fodder be.
fore bunch of steers, and they will
not touch the latter until they have
entirely disposed of the first. This is
an important factor in feeding, be-
cause palatability adds to digestive
qualities of feed, and the more a steer
digests the more fat he will put on.

quently neglected. 1t is Of prime in
portance that the cows have an
abundance of fresh, pure water. There
are instances on record where heayy
mixers have consumed more thar
three hundred pounds of water net
day; and 70 pounds or more is actu
ally required by cows that produce %
pounds OF milk. Ice-cold water is as
bad for animals as for human beings,
and in extremely severe weather II
may be found necessary to warm tho
water slightly in order to induce the
COWS to drink sufficient quantity. OBJ.
viously the water trough should be
clean and sheltered as much as posi-
Bile from the weather.
In view of the comparatively narrow
margin of profit in producing milk, II
will seem impracticable to many pro-
ducers to burden themselves with the
increased expense involved in such
precautions as these. 1t must be re-
membered, however, that in addition
to the duty to the community which
the producer owes, the Importance of
pure milk is being more and more ap-
preciated by the consuming public,
and that this appreciation will bring
valuable returns to the dairyman who
complies with the rising sanitary
standards. Not only are better class

lily, which uses a large portion of the
milk itself, is safeguarded; the health
OF the calves, which live on the milk
is improved, and the whole herd pro
tected from disease. Stricter methods
OF cost keeping and the elimination Of
all Improbable cows will help Offset
the extra expense of producing clean,
wholesome milk.

AUSTRALIA OFFERS
RABB|TSFORF FOOD
Ingenious Legislator Wants to
Aid Allies by Booming the
Export of Frozen Bunnies.

The war has brought the anathema-
tized Australian rabbit to the fore once
more 4. Waddell, member VI the
New South Wales parliament. has just
been urging, in that body and out of Il,
that the Commonwealth can help the
cause of Great Britain and her allies
by shipping to Them as many tons as
possible of the little animals, treated
and refrigerated, and the matter has
thorities and the Sydney chamber of
commerce.
Mr.. Waddell argues that at this time.
when England, France, Belgium. and
Serbia are confronted by the problem
of finding food for millions of people
and simultaneously, beef and mutton
are becoming scarcer In Australia by
reason of drought. there is another kind
and mutton, which the Commonwealth
has power to supply in illimitable guam
titles. He says:
over a large part of New South
Wales where the season has been good
there are countless millions of rabbits
a never-ending supply. At this time of
the year great numbers of these animals
are very fat and in the best conditi ion
TO be killed for human consumption
THAT the rabbit forms not only a
cooked very tasty dish, will not be de-
MED. Many of our own people can tes-
tify to this.
I'm England and on the Continent
this animal has long been considered a
luxury. In any case 1t bears no com
parison as food with coarse, insipid
horsefiesh or the flesh of other animals
(which our allies in some cases are
forced to eat. There Is nothing TO pre-
vent the meat preserving companies
preserving and timing millions OF rab-
bits every month and sending them
away to the people who so badly re-
Quire them and in doing so giving prof
table employment to every idle man
and boy in the country. The animal is
so plentiful and so easily caught that
as a food it can be sold much cheaper
than beef or mutton. Thousands OF
tons of 1t will no doubt find ready sale
If we'll preserved and nicely cooked.
What Is now terrible curse to the
farmer and grazier can, l believe, be
turned into an untold blessing.
There Is no doubt, too. that the action
1 have indicated. il taken, will prob
ably be the means of opening up in
Europe. good markets in the future fol-
the sale of rabbits. s'
To this statement Presidest F. E
" inchcoombe, of the Sydney Chamber
of Commerce, replied. In part:
81 would point out to Mr.. Waddel
that millions of rabbits are being ex-
course of business every year. The
trade is hampered by the fact that J.
IS difficult to get refrigerated space in
| outgoing ships. The chamber OF com.
merce curing the last three months
November. December, and January
has purchased $4,000 frozen rabbits
from it's war food fund and shipped
them to London for free distribution
The fund Is prepared to send further
consignments as soon as shipping space
acn be obtained. This class of food
stuff is not being overlooked, and IL the
prices of beef and mutton continue to
rise, frozen rabbits will be much the
cheapest kind Of meat that we cam send
away"
