BUYING BLUE BLOOD. - He is
such cute little white dog, his blood
is blue. He lives in the home of
dollar aristOcrat in an exclusive
North Shore suburb. He has a maid
to attend him and is bathed and
manicured. His teeth are looked
after by a regular dentist. Though
he is an aristocrat by birth, he is
very democratic; he condescended
to bite a common working stiff and
yet he survives such a plebian act.
When our captains of industry
have acquired great wealth, if they
have no blue blood of their own, they
must acquire some. If their pedigree
cannot be traced back to the witch
burning PUritans or the aristOcrats
of the southern colonies, whose an
cestOrs were so undesirable in Eng
land that they came to America by
request of the authorities at home,
then blue blood may be gotten into
the family by purchase.
A millionaire whose family tree
has the scent Of the slaughter house,
the tannery or the soap works has
many times in the past been able to
buy a titled European Vag for his
daughter, though her face may look
as though it needed adjusting by an
osteopath. The present war makes
it practically impossible for them to
go to Europe to hunt titled pauper
for a sOn-in-laW. Many Of the noble

WHY | NEED A SILO

Twelve good reasons why the farm
er should provide himself with a silo
are given by r. B. Woodward. OF the
Dairy Division, u. S. Department OF
Agriculture. I'm Farmers Bulletin, No.
556. Every ono of them touches some
spot OF vital importance to the feeder
/. More feed can be stored in a
given space IN the form Of silage than
in the form OF fodder or hay.
2. There Is a smaller loss Of food
material when crop is made into sill
age than when cured as fodder or
hay.
3. Corn silage is more efficient
feed than corn fodder.
4. An acre OF corn can be placed in
tho sllo at less cost than the same
area can be husked and shredded
8. Crop can be In the silo during
weather that could not be utilized for
making hay or curing fodder.
G. More stock can be kept on a
given area Of land when silage is the
basis Of the ration.
z. There Is less waste in feeding
silage than in feeding fodder Good
silage properly fed Is all consumed.
8. silage is very palatable.
Q. Silage, like other succulent
feeds. has beneficial effect upon the
digestive organs.
10. Sllage Is the cheapest and best
form in which a succulent feed can be
provided for winter use.
II. Silage can be used for supple
menting pastures more economically
than can soiling crops. because It re-
quires less labor, and silage is more
palatable
70. Converting the corn crop into
silage clears the land and leaves II
ready for another crop.
/ Almost anything in the way of for
+ age crops may be put in the silo and
will keep until IL is needed
Since about the year 1880. silOs have
increased rapidly in number in the
United States until now they are ex-
tensively used especially i'm those
States devoted to the dairy industry
There is a general awakening through
out this State to the fact that good
COW will give fair returns il given
care and feed. The day is rapidly pass
ing when the COW will be kent for
the manure produced and TO furnish
labor during the few slack winter
months. With this progress OF the
dairy industry the silo is finding il.
proper place. There is no sound bus
mess reason why a man with ten cows
or more SHOULD not have a silo. Owe

year. the Dairy Extension Depart
ment has assisted in constructing +;

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid troubles

are weak or diseased, these natural filters
do not cleanse the blood sufficiently, and
the poisons are carried TO all parts Of the
body. There follow depression, aches
and pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains IN the back and lOins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obstinate
dropsy. The uric acid sometimes forms
into gravel OF kidney stones. When the
