POKER AS PLAYED IN LONDON
The Indoor sport of sports he
comes n Pernicious Game
Abroad.

A London magistrate has decided that
poker is "a pernicious game" He Is
right--it is pernicious the way II Ia played
in the British capital. Poker Is a game
of JOY in America. II is one of the two
national games. 1t is 10 indoor sports
what baseball IL to outdoor sports In
this favored land It Is played according
to Schenck, but in London they play Il
according to their own foolish ideas In
other words the game in London is not
poker at all; It Is a British game and
they call II poker.
Here is IA sample OF the way the game
is played over there The story Is told
by traveller who recently fled from
London. In a game OF poker Briton
was drawing TO flush Of four cards.
He called for one and II was dealt to
him, but the man who was picking up
the cards and making up the deck for
the next deal took Il. and when the
Briton came to bet he had only four
cards. He was allowed to play them and
won a good pot on four-card flush. No
wonder the American fled. Also they
play the hand called kilter nine hIRh
and deuce low. with no straight or flush
to draw to. worthless hand in fact. and
yet John Bull permits Il 20 beat three
OF kind
In London, too, they play with n Joker
and allow the man who holds II to call
1t anything he pleases. Which means
that one can hold five OF a kind. II the
king sits into the game he merely an
nounces what he has and takes in the pot
II what he says he has beats the other
hands. That kind OF game is worse

Sliage Is succulent feed, highly nu-

Keeps the digestive system in a good

men, cattle men and sheep men all
over the United States consider silage
a good feed and cheap feed.
For years past silage has been used
IN the feeding Of dairy cattle, and now
Is rapidly coming into favor among
farmers feeding cattle and sheen. ST.
lage furnishes at any time of the wear
a Uniform supply of succulence nearly
equal in palatibility and nutrition as
summer pasturage. Feeding trials at
many of the state experimental sta
tons and by the United States depart
ment OF agriculture has proven that by
the wise use of silage the cost of meat
production may be materially lowered
ANY progressive stockman states that
his stock comes through the winter in
better condition when properly shelter
ed and well fed and that such a prac-
tice pays him in time and money which
means greater profits.
Corn should be cut into one half
inch lengths by good standard silage
cutter. When filling the silo, the in

Some farmers have told me of sowing
oats or wheat on top of the silage to
form crust and keep out the air, in
this way preventing spoilage. The
crust should not be disturbed until
feeding time commences, when all
spoiled silage should be removed and
thrown away.
If the silo is only partly filled and in

often a poisonous gas called carbon

sure and lower lighted lantern into
the silo before going into it. If the light

and it is safe to enter, but If the light
gees out, 1t is dangerous to enter the
