SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody Will Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get
large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
30 naturally and evenly. You dampen
sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger

FEEDING sILAGE TO HORSES
Danger Of Forage Poisoning is
Thought to Come From Portions
Not Sufficiently Moistened.

{By W. r. DODSON, Louisiana Experi-
ment Stationo
There is little danger Of forage
poisoning in feeding silage to mules
and horses, and because of the occar
sional bad results it is not generally
deemed advisable to feed silage to
these animals.
S. If the feeding is carefully looked at
ter, however, and no moldy silage is
fed, then it would be safe. The danger
is thought to come from portions OF
the silage that are not sufficiently wet
and mold in the curing. and it has the
same ,ect as moldy hay. The same
moldy silage, however, does not seem
to have any detrimental effect on cat
tie. On the other hand, if plenty OF
water is put in with the silage when
the silo is being filed there should be
no mold in any portion of it, unless
there should be leakage OF air at
some point of the silo, and then the
silage will mold in the vicinity of the
leak.

SHEEP DESTROY MANY WEEDS
Besides Returning Good Profits From
Mutton and Wool Animals Aid in
Clearing Pastures.

Sheep are the great enemies OF
weeds and where sheep can be turned
into a field, or flock herded along
the roadside, they will effectively
clear up waste vegetation and in addi-
ton the trampling of their feet will
destroy many insects. The sheep at
the same time turn waste material
into mutton and all they require Is
a little grain for finishing.
Frequently when sold they return
profit, but the entomologists hold that
if they merely pay for the extra grain
they eat their function in destroying
weeds and keeping down insects
makes their use we'll worth while.

People Have Learned.

Advocates of higher tariff protection
used to point to whatever industrial
distress existed, and assert, in Dol
liver's words, that they "yearned for
the factory bells calling millions back
to work" Something more than q
realization that the whole country Is
now prosperous and satisfied is ac-
countable for the decline in protec-
zionist talk. What it is was told the
Republican club by Jacob Schiff, in
words that have weight as coming
from man who has been for fifty
years the stanchest of Republicans.
He warned the party that eff you
threaten the country and show it you
want a renewal of special privilege
and high protection, the people will
have none Of it. The people have
learned; the workmen and farmers
have learned, and they cannot be
misled any longer"
