SiIage as Winter Ration.

Investigations at the Missouri
experiment station show conclu-
sively that cattle can be win
tered economically on q ration
made up largely of silage, &C.
cording to F. B. Mumiord, dean
Of the college of agriculture,
University of Missouri.
In one experiment & ration of
corn silage and clover hay with
out grain fed to yearling cattle
for $50 days resulted in a gain
of 200 pounds for the feeding
period of $50 days, at a total
cost of $11.60, or a cost of SIS
cents pound of gain, as com.
pared with a total cost of $15.-
Is, and 7.S cents a pound, when
a similar lot of cattle was fed
on six pounds of shelled corn
per head per day and clover
hay.
These results have been con-
frmed IL other experiments,
which all point to the conclu-
sion that when silage consti-
tutes the uaioG' portion If the
ration fed to w1nter;ng stock
cattle the cost cf wintering is
much reduced.

Plans are being perfected for the
celebration Of the tenth anniversary
Of the accession to the throne by King
Gustaf V. The event will occur in
1917. Preparations are started at such
an early date on account of the in
tended scope of the celebration.
Among other things it is proposed to
publish great historical work on the
Bernadotte family. A large national
fund may be raised for some charita-
BILE purpose and named after the king
and the queen, provided they give
their consent. There are two reasons
why the kings ten-year jubilee is Sc
lected for the celebration. The four
hundredth anniversary of the Luther

the same year will mark the end of
the first century of the royal rank of

there are several couplings in the

TRADE REVIVAL IN :
WESTERN CANADA
Not a Myth but an Actually
Shown in the Returns of 49,
ricuIturaI Statistics and
Every Department of
Trade and CON-
merCe.

The trade revival In Manitoba, Sat-
kAtchewan and Alberta is an actuality
and not a myth. There is today a
spirit OF optimism In the air, just a.
two years ago there prevailed the op-
posite spirit of pessimism.
A general trade revival has been
telt in every department of business in
the Prairie Provinces. The agricul-
turists are in better shape than they
have ever been before IN their lives.
No farmers of any country are in bet
ter financial condition and in a more
general state of prosperity than are
the farmers Of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta. The farmers havs
harvested a record crop-a crop which
enriches them to the extent Of some
thing over 100000 900.
In the cities the prosperity OF the
country has been reflected. Every
where business Is on the hustle. The
wholesalers and the retailers and the
implement dealers find business good.
The banks and other collection houses
ind collections satisfactory, and fnan-
c1al men declare that westerners are
paying up their debts In Winnipeg
the bank clearings have been the larg-
est In history, exceeding some weeks
the figures OF Montreal and Toronto.
The grain shipments have been tho
biggest in the history of Winnipeg and
IN the history of the twin ports, Fort
William and Port Arthur. The mail
order houses have had a big year, the
rush of fall orders exceeding all previ-
Gus years and taxing the capacity of
these establishments, whose most san
guine expectations have been exceeded
by the actual business done.
The tide has turned in western Can
ada. The people Of the West are
forging ahead, forging ahead in actual
production and in creation of wealth,
giving generously to charitable and
other funds, paying up their back
debts, while going along carefully as
regards any creation Of new debts.
They are economizing but not scrimp-
Ing, acting cautiously but not miserly.
The financial heads Of eastern Canada.
OF the United States and OF Europe are
no longer criticizing western Canada:
rather they are unstintedly offering
their praise and their compliments.
The financial press recognizes that
the tide has turned in western Canada,
and 1t has been published to the world.
The condition of western Canada at
the close Of 1915 is one of optimistic
prosperity, backed by the same deter.
mlnatlon of western people to go on
increasing their productiveness and
maintaining the records which they
have already established.

tank No ground" was formed.
We have seen that gasoline, vOla-
tile substance, passing through cham
ois, forms static electricity which
charges the funnel. When the amount
of electricity is sufficient to produce
a jump spark, following an inevitable
law Of electricity attraction, jumps to
the nearest ground" which is your
tank. In doing so it must pass across
the opening between the end Of the
funnel and the edge of the tank
through which gasoline vapor is ris-
ing. Suddenly there is a violent dis
charge, like that of lightning, which
is, after ALL a gigantic jump spark.
All those in close touch are, as it were,
struck by lightning.
Many have been burned and SCARED
for life through ignorance of this
fiend Of electricity. Many more, it is
sad to relate, have been measured out
on their last cold bed. No one was
able to tell just why they died. The
moral to be derived from this is
Never strain gasoline through chamois
skin. But, if you will insist on taking
chances, be sure that you have a
ground on it by seeing that the fun
mel touches the opening of the tank.
Be doubly sure that you take this pre-
caution.
Fire department statistics of many
cities show that an Overwhelmingly
large per cent. of auto fires are caused
by using chamois skin with gasoline

There has been gathered a collec-
ton of facts to prove that the sani-
tary laws of Moses were not only on
a line with the modern rules of hy-
giene, but in some cases in advance OF
them.
The Jew, thousands of years before
Christ, settling in a semi-tropical
country, was forbidden to eat pork or
shellfish, and milk was designated as
a source of contagion. In the Talmud
a method of slaughtering animals was
prescribed which is acknowledge to-
day in our markets as the most sani-
tary.
Five thousand years before Koch
gave to the world the results of his
researches in bacteriology the Mosaic
law pointed out the danger to man
from tuberculosis in cattle, but did
not forbid infected poultry as food. 1t
was only a few years ago that German
specialists discovered that fowl tuber-
culosis was harmless to man.
The Mosaic law also enforced the
isolation Of patients with contagious
disease and burial Of the dead outside
all cities. These hints the Gentle
world did not fully accept until q
century or two ago.
The wise lawgiver prescribed not
only fasting at certain periods OF the

CAUGHT IN FEBRUARY FRESHET.
County Superintendent Falls Into the
Icy Waters Of McAdams Greek.

It may have been poetic justice
landing on the county superintendent
of schools, E. G. Brick, for sending out
those difficult questions to the unsus-
pecting eighth grade pupils, but at any
rate the icy waters of McAdams
creek in Paris township closed over
him (almost) last Thursday, and for
sion on the banks of that turbulent
stream and it wasn't a school session
either. It happened this way.
Last Wednesday Mr.. Brick went to
Cuba City to inspect the schools and
spent the day at Kaysville, commonly
called Big Patch. Thursday Mr.. Brick
took Miss Stockert to one Of the
schools near Cuba City and journeyed
further to the Morgan Hollow or Cas-
per school on the border Of Paris and
Smelser townships. At point about
600 feet above the school house it is
necessary to ford McAdams creek, a
small stream that is almost dry in Or
binary weather. There used to be a
bridge across the ford, but it was
lies melancholy wreck on the banks
further down the stream. Mr.. Brick
completed his visit, and at about 2:30
started back for Cuba City. Some of
the children spoke of the rise due to
the thaw in McAdams creek during
the afternoon and while Mr.. Brick
noticed it also he attempted to make
/ vi In1 n
cake Of ice which had been reposing
on a rock short distance UP stream,
came sailing down and struck one of
the horses which commenced to strug-
gle. Mr. Brick seeing that the water
was coming up and the creek getting
wider all the time, leaped out and cut
the tugs.
After considerable difficulty he was
able to get the horses up the bank,
although one of them was injured.
! The houses are few and far between
in this neighborhOod and it was some
time before he was able to get help.
Along toward evening a rig from Nc
Nett's barn in Cuba City came out and
took the horses and Mr.. Brick back
to town.
! Mr.. Brick was thoroughly drenched
with mud and water from head to
foot, and had a sprained ankle in the
bargain. The tri-county conference
at Platteville, where he was billed to
speak Friday, had to make change in
/ its program as the speaker did not
| feel like appearing before the public
in his muddy condition.
! Mr.. Brick is a strong sympathizer
with the residents of that section of
! Paris township who want a bridge
across the mail route road crossing
/ McAdams creek.

Never strain gasoline through a

dangerous. Gasoline and chamOis do
not get along. They are Incompatible
Let us assume that you are about to
fill your tank. The funnel is in the
nozzle A chamois is in the funnel
The gasoline Is turned on, and as it
pours through the chamois it gener-
ates static electricity. Static electri-
city may be defined as electricity that
is at rest. 1t is an agent neither of
construction or destruction so long
as nothing is done to unleash it. I'm
leash it knowingly or unknOwingly, by
brushing a clumsy finger against
natural law, and you have to deal with
the most diabolical physical agent
known, a force that destroys with the
quickness of lightning.
Static electricity, as we have said,
is now in the funnel. So long as the
funnel fits securely in to the mouth of
the tank, thus creating a ground"
you are safe. You go about your jour
ney, not knowing that you have brush
ed elbows with the most deadly as
we'll as the most useful force known

We Eat Too Much

A twelve or twenty-four fast is an
old and efficacious remedy for an
acute so-called "cold."
People are generally obsessed with
the belief that it is dangerous to skip
a meal or several meals. That three
square meals a day are essential for
good health and strength. That loss
Of appetite is a thing to be whipped
into shape by all sorts of artificial
stimulants; whereas, in fact, loss of
appetite is mostly a fortunate thing
for the overfed.
Missing a meal occasionally is a
habit most of us ought to acquire. Es-
pecially if we are few pounds over
weight for our age and height. Espec-
cially if we are of a "biliOus" type.
Especially if we are subject to indi-
gestion. And very especially if we are
victims of that many-sided condition,
acute ntoxication. Missing a meal is
a lot better than tamping meal down
by the aid of cathartics.
Fasting, as a remedy for one whose
health is frankly poor, for one with a
definite disease, is not an experiment
but a powerful therapeutic measure to
be applied only by the physician who
thoroughly understands the patient
and his disease.
