Silage For the Bull,

Corn silage may be fed to the herd
bull in limited quantities, and, while
there are those who claim it is liable
to make the bull impotent, yet the
large majority of dairymen and breed
ers find no trouble in feeding silage to
their bulls. The bull should receive a
ration rich in protein, but ten to if
teen pounds of silage daily may be fed
to advantage.

CardweI perceived that large block
of masonry was loosely fitted into
the wall. The ring was attached
to it.
He tried to raise the ring, but it
was rusted to the stone. It took him
nearly an hour before he succeeded
in working it free. He scraped with
the edge of his tin platter around the
block. He put his fingers in the ring
and pulled. There was no result.
He pulled again with all his force.
He seemed to feel the ring giving.

THE HAUNTED CELL
BY Julian Raymond
= = = -
The walls were of imemnse thick
ness. A tiny CLEAN of moonlight fill
tered through the slit over Capdwell's
bed.
It was 2 in the morning by his
watch, but he had not gone to sleep.
Why should a man sleep on the night
before his execution when he will
sleep so long and soundly in little
while? Instead, he paced the cell
and heard again the judges last
words to him:
You were drawn into playing
part in this conspiracy to stir up re-
bellion in a British province. You
were partly ignorant Of the scope of
the design. On this account the mil
itary court will consider a recon-
mendation to mercy, to be addressed
to his majesty the king. But l can
not advise you to build up hopes on
this. For the present. all that re-
mains to me is to sentence you to be
taken to the place whence you came
and be shot to death on the day ap-
pointed by the high sheriff"
An hour later CardweH found him
self back in the Tower of London.
And no reprieve had come and he
was to die on the morrow at
o'clock, before the rifles of a firing
squad.
CardweH flung himself down upon
his bed 1t was hard to die at his
age - 81. And the enterprise had
seemed to him little more than an
adventure. He was of Irish birth,
and he had always hated England
as the land which exiled his father.
He had gone Iight-heartedIy into the
game, not thinking of the awful re-
tribUtiOn.
The mOonbeam shifted. It fell
upon a corner of the cell. Cardweu

Care Of Sick.

The widespread prevalence Of
sickness throughout the country
suggests some simple rules for
taking care Of the sick. Not every
person can have a well-trained
nurse. The majority Of patients
must be taken care of by members
Of the family. The following sug-
gestions may be helpful.
The sick room should contain
little furniture. All surplus rugs,
draperies and furnishings should
be removed. This gives more
space and makes disinfection
easier after the sickness is over.
-All cases Of sickness, including
pneumonia and catarrhal infec-
tions, do best in a cool, welI-venti-
lated room. Ventilation without
draft should be provided for by
means of window boards or simi-
lar devices to throw the air up
toward the ceiling.
The patient should be kept
clean and quiet. A single thin
garment, such as q nightgown or
nightshirt is all that Is need. The
bundling up Of sick persons with
plasters, rags and woolens is bad
from every standpoint.
Patients should not be annoyed
by having to ask for everything. |
AT the same time, they should not |
be asked every few minutes
whether they wish something.
The nurse, guided BY the pkysi-l
clan, should know whist the pal
tient needs and supply il ct the /
proper time.

Follows New German Drive

This operation on the part of Gen
eral Petain's forces follows closely a
German move in a new field in the
struggle for the fortress. This took
the form of drive on the extreme
right flank of the French forces in
this sector, three successive attacks
neing delivered at Les Espargcs,
about thirteen miles southeast of Yer
dun on the edge of the Woevre plain
Military observers have long eX-
pocted some such operation on the
part of the Germans as part of a
squeezing movement intended TO force
the evacuation of the fortress The
new attempt was unsuccessful, how
ever. Paris has reported the Germans
having been driven off by counter at
tack out of the POO yards of trenches
they had succeeded in occupying.
\ plot of wide scope to cause re
volulion in India is announced from
London to have been uncovered as
result of the seizure last February Of
German and Austrian subjects on the
liner China bound from Shanghai to
the United States.

Governor is Optimistic.


1t is the belief of Governor WI
liams that all the considerable sum
of school land money that is nov
available in the two funds for farm
loans can be placed with the farmers
on good security at the low rate of
interest provided by law and that the
fund will thus be conserved and at
the same time the farmers of Okla
homa be assisted in paying for their
homes, making necessary improve
ments thereon and operating their
farms on a business-like basis with
money loaned by the state at rate
of interest but one-half as much as is
charged by the competing loan COM
panies.
On March 81 last there was in the
home ownership division the sum of
$4S9 600 available for loans under the
home ownership law on an amortiza-
ton plan that would discharge the
debt and interest in semi-annual pay
ments of per cent for a period of
twenty-three years Some of this fund
has been transferred to the farm
loan division because of the apparent
Discrimination of borrowers to engage
in the home ownership plan, possibly
because of the long term of the
loans and the impossibility of dis
charging them at earlier dates.
On the same date there was avail
able for loans in the farm loan di.
vision the sum of $912,4 at an in
terest rate of > per cent a year
These loans are made on straight
farm mortgages and are payable at
the end of the term or before.
The aggregate of money controlled
by the school land office available for
loans at this time on Oklahoma farms
is therefore $1,4O2,OG9. Against this
there are applications on file for loans
aggregating but $17S,675
Commission Changes Its Rules.
BY recent resolution of the school
land commissioners the rules of the
commission were amended abolishing
the apportonment of funds by coun-
ties and relaxing to certain extent
restrictions as to residence of the
borrowers. This resolution was pass
ed at a meeting attended by but three
of the commissioners. President
Gault of the board of agriculture,
Secretary of State Lyon and State
Auditor Howard They also provided
in a resolution that a large part of
the money available in the home
ownership division should be trans
ferred to the farm loan division. This
action was taken because it was ap-
parent to them that the farm loan
division was more popular with bor-
rowers than the home ownership di-
vision.
A summary of the condition OF the
common school fund of Oklahoma to
March 81. 1916. shows that this fund
amounts to S6,15S,623. 1t is invested
as follows:

Government in Ohio costs no little
sum. During the first nine months of
the present fiscal year the state ex-
penditures for governmental purposes
reached $15,9O7941.5O. On this basis
the expenses for the state for the
year will be above the $21,00O0 900
mark. Last year it was slightly above
S2O.OOO.O0O The hope of reducing
state expenditures seems to have
been entirely abandoned. A flood of
new work of various sorts. and new
demands have conspired TO defeat
