ADVANTAGES IN
USING The SILO

Silage furnishes an almost sure feed
supply. There is no surer crop in Min
nesota than corn.
The silo provides means Of keeping
over, for summer use, feed Of high
quality.
Three and seyen-tenths acres Of corn
put into the silo furnishes as much feed
as 5.3 acres of similar corn cut and
shocked
A corn crop Of 35 bushels to the acre
will give about tons Of silage to the
acre, with gain Of $11 an acre over
husking from the standing stalks.
The silo increases the livestock carry
ing capacity of the farm
1t provides storage for the whole
corn plant when it is at it's highest
feeding value, and in handy form for
both winter and summer feeding.
Silage stimulates and improves diges.
tion during the dry-feeding period, and
keeps cattle thrifty and fresh.

ALL ANIMALS. ARE ACTORS.
Every Wild Animal With the Robinson
Circus are Actors.

Never before in the history of the
circus business has such display Of
educated wild animals been exhibited
as can be found with the Yankee Rob-
inson three ring wild animals circus
this season. Animals carry on almost
the entire performance. Not only are
the wild animals displayed in steel
bound arenas in the big tent in all
kinds of acts and tricks, but the per-
forfnance has lost none Of the old ia
vorite stunts Of the circus we have all
visited every year. Clowns by the
dozen, led by such international IA
vorites as Billy Jameson, Freddy Gay,
Eddie Dorie, Joe Marvello and host
Of fun makers who have no peer, keep
the audience in continual uproar.
Two trains of cars, a herd of ele-
plants and camels, complete carnival
company, a wild animal display with
every animal an actor, wild west per-
formance led by Jim Kinney-the
worlds greatest bucking horse rider,
the finest horses ever exhibited-in
fact the greatest and most satisfying
performance ever offered, is the prom
Use of Yankee Robinson. This tremen-
dous aggregational of shows will ex-

POSSIBILITIES IN
MINNESOTA'S HOGS

The swine industry in Minnesota
does not suffer by comparison with the
dairy industry. Credited with 1,716,-
900 hogs worth at least $26OOO,OOO.
Minnesota farmers have more hogs
than dairy cows They now have in
vested in hogs approximately forty-two
cents for every dollar invested in dairy
stock. The labor supply automatically
limits the number of cows, while the
hog actually helps to take the limit Of
labor. The hog does it's own milking,
cuts it's own grass, and husks it's own
corn. Where permitted, it carries its
own water, and it takes it's own pro-
duct to market.
The foregoing are just a few of the
interesting things in small handbook
prepared by r. G. Ashby, secretary Of
the Minnesota Swine Breeders Asso-
citation. The book is one that farmers
will be interested in. Its aim, in part
at least, is to show how Minnesota may
be the more strikingly put on the swine
map. Copies may be had by addressing

CHILDREN AND MATCHES
CAUSE OF MANY FIRES

Children with matches cause more
misery, suffering and property loss than
any other combination, is the opinion
Of Robert w. Hargadine, state fire mar
shal.
Now that the schools are closed for
the summer vacation, warning should
be spread broadcast to parents and
guardians, who are, in most cases, to
blame for fatalities arising from child
ren playing with matches. The care
less manner in which matches are kept
in the household is prolific source Of
trouble.
''The common parlor match. which
can be ignited at the end with ease, is
a constant source of danger Sparks
struck from it often fly many feet and
are the cause Of many large fires. AS
an example, might mention a fire
which occurred on May 22nd Fat Gary.
Minnesota, and which destroyed Is
places of business, two dwellings, four
ice houses and four barns. This fire
vas set by children playing with
matches in barn, and spread very
rapidly, destroying the entire business
section of the village"
cit it is necessary to use parlor
matches" says Mr.. Hargardine, "they
should be kept in metal or stone re-
ceptacle, and out Of the reach Of child.
rem
''The safest type of match is the
strike on the box match. 1t throws
some sparks, but on the whole is less
dangerous than the protected tip match
"And it must be remembered, danger
from the match is not confined to pro
perty alone. Many match fires have
occurred in Minnesota recently which
have resulted in serious injury and los!
of life"

BOMB THROWERS
 NOW WELCOME IN ]. $. SERVICE

Jeffery Farnol, the distinguished d English novelist, made tour of in- spection along the British front in France, and reports the result of his observations in Everybody's for Sep tember. An officer explained to him the use of an odd-looking training field.
 ""There,' said he. is where we teach 'em to throw live bombs. You can see where they've been exploding, dummies look a bit off-color, don't they?' And he pointed to the ragged scarecrows with his whip. You know, I suppose he continued, that a Mills bomb is quite safe as long as you hold 1t; but the moment it is 1oosed the lever flies off, which releases the fir ing needle, and in a few seconds 1t explodes. It's surprising how men vary; some are born bombers. some soon learn, but some couldn't be bombers if they tried-not that they are towards; it's just case of men, tality. I've seen men take hold of a bomb, pull out the pin, and then stand with the thing clutched in their fin gers, absolutely unable to move! And there they'd stand till Lords knows when if the sergeant didn't take il from them.
 CT remember a queer case once We were saving the pins to rig uI dummy bombs and the order was:
 Take the bomb in your right hand remove the pin. put the pin in youl pocket. and at the word of command throw the bomb" We'll, this particu- lar fellow was so wrought Up that he threw away the pin and put the bomt in his pocket!'
 "' Was he killed?' I asked.
 No. The sergeant just had time to dig the thing out of the mans pocket and throw 1t away. Bomb ex. ploded in the air and knocked 'em both flat
 Did the sergeant get the " C. ol M. G., or anything?' I inquired. The major smiled and shook his head. 'I have good many sergeants here and they can't all have 'em! Now come and see my lecture theatres

The lure of the United States army
 service is depicting the ranks of the

 The number of men being taken for federal service from the Home Guard
 of this state, as well as the aid it of- fers to men as a stepping stone to of- flee in the United States forces is prob- ably shown in no better manner than the roster of Company H which has to date lost 2S men, seven of whom are today holding commissioned of fices as high as captain in the ,Na@ tiona1 Guard and Reserve officer forces.

TRENCH DIGGERS
 ARE CANDY KIDS IN ARMY NOW

The American Doys, it is said, do not take kindly to the art of .-digging in" for modern trench warfare It does not appeal to their love for direct ac- tion and positive and immediate re- suits However, they must learn the art, and realize how big a part it has played to date in the great game
 The Italians in this country are sometimes Tddiculed as '.ditch diggers'' though the contribution they have made to this land in the creation of 50 many sewer ditches and railroad enbankments is nothing to be sneezed
 at, not at present price of labor. This capacity for hard and quick muscular exertion in excavating shelter has won them many 8 peak in the heroic Al- pine fighting.
 ALSO it was alsHity to dig in quickly that saved the Germans from being driven out of France in 1914 There was a state of Aux there following the
 battle of the Marne, when just a little faster pressure would have routed them out. But they could dig a little faster chan the artillery could catch up, and before the guns could get at them, the treneches had become irn-
 pregnable for two years.
 Old fashioned warfare showed he. ! roes standing upright and hewdng down around them in a spectacular ] way. Or there. were long lines of sol
 diers standing up and firing at each I other. It was very dramatic. and
 made fine spectacular civil war pic-
 lures we are all familiar with But this kind of warfare is dead today,
 and those that fight that way are soon
 dead too.
 I Nf %h< nIx5 books have all gone by. It is a new
 game even for the war experts as well
 as for the raw material So far the
 spade has played quite as important apart as tne ride, and our boys will have to learn to use it. In No Mans Land the least little earth protection
 saves lives, and our boys will have tc learn to create it quickly under fire and often when lying down.

COUNT LuxBURG NEVER POPULAR
 WITH, DIPLOMATS
Teuton Representative In Ar genuine Is of Obscure
 Swiss Origin.

Emperor Williams precious repre- sentative at Buenos Aires, Count Lux burg, whose amazing despatches through the Swedish Legation in Ar gentina and the Stockholm Depart ment of Foreign Affairs to his govern ment at Berlin have furnished another proof of the absence of any sense Of personal honor on the part of Teuton dipIomatists, is of somewhat obscure Swiss origin.
 The founder of the family occupied a very subordinate position in the household of that most gifted and at the same time eccentric of Hapsburg sovereigns, Joseph II, and bore the name \of Johann Girtanner, hailins from the Helvetian canton of St. Gall AS the reward of many years service he was toward the close of his life raised by the Emperor to the ranks of the petty nobility and given the name of '.von Luxburg," but without a title, in the place of his own patronymic. His son rendered himself very use- ful to the ruler of Bavaria, by whom he was advanced to the rank of count. He had two more sone, Frederick and Charles, both of whom became mem bers of the Bavarian diplomatic ser vice. Frederick was the grandfather of the Kaiser's Charge d'Affaires at Buenos Aires, where the latter has succeeded in alternating all sympathy from Germany. Won Luvburg is un- married, was formerly attached to the German Legation at Pekin, where he
 was far from popular among his col leagues, and is the son of a former
 provincial governor in Bavaria and of the, latter's wife, Princess Louise of Schoenaich-Caro
 Charles the other son of the first Count Luxburg, made an extraordin- ary- marriage with Eleanor Denuelle, who, like the lovely. Polish Countess Walleska, bore natural son to the first Napoleon. Eleanor had been 8 pupil of that famous schoo1mistress
 Mime. Campan. from whom Queen Hortense, also Stephanie de Beauhar-
 nais, afterward Grand Duchess of Ba- den; the Duchesse d'Abrantes and
 Caroline Bonaparte, afterward Queen | of Naples, and others received their | education, Mime. Campan having been
 in her time the pricipal chambermaid
 and first dresser of Queen Marie An toinette. Eleanor in 1895 made an
 unfortunate marriage with Capt Jean Revel, who not long afterward

Countess Charles v@n Luxburg in 1865 after having been repeatedly sued by her son, the so-called Comte de Leon, in his futile efforts to extort money from her.
 The Comtesse de Luxburg seems to have had no affection whatsoever for the Emperor's son. He was brought up in the first place by his grand mother, old Mime. Letitia Bonaparte, known as Madame Mere" He was a source of perpetual trouble and an- noyance to the entire Bonaparte fam fly. The mother of the Emperor end- ed by disowning him. In 1882. at the age of 25, he turned up in Paris, hav- ing squandered every cent of the money settled upon him in his early childhood by his father. s-
 This money consisted of an annuity of 12,000 francs, which the Emperor had settled upon him in January, 1914, and 100000 francs which Ma poleon, after his return from Elba, accorded to him by means of a deed signed at the Palace of the Elysee on
 the very last night before quitting
 Paris to meet with his final defeat at the battle of Waterloo. In fact, this deed of gift of 100000 francs to his son was the last document that he signed before his departure. Even at St. Helena he was still thinking of this son of his. For in the will which he made there, disposing of an estate that was for the greater part mythi- cal, he set down the name of 'my son Leon" for a legacy of 300,000 francs Leon obtained commission in the National Guard, but was afterward
 cashiered for misconduct. Involved H deavored with more or less success tc

HATE WAR BUT WOULD
 HAVE VOTED FOR IT
 SAYS MARY RINEHART

Mary Roberts Rinehart has written g. great article for the October Amer ican Magazine in which she says:
 Had I been allowed to vote, l would have voted for war. hate war with terrible hatred. I fear it with the cringing fear that only mothers know. I do not believe that war is good for country. I do not believe in war at all.
 Yet would have voted for this war, as a surgeon cuts to cure a sore that will not heal.
 ''So, had we the vote, we would give our sons, as we are doing, with a God speed. But we would say to the gov ernment with the strength of our mill lions what now we are begging fear fully, outside of thee 1osed doors of government. And something like this we would say to the men who are representing this country in the Sen ate, in the House of Representatives and the various departments of gov. ernment:
 These be our children you are talk ing from us. The cause is just. It is only right that they should go. But although they are but units to you, tc
 us they are life itself. Therefore:
 What will you do for them when they have gone out to fight? Will you give them time to train
 or are you going to se..d them, undis. ciplined, against, the most highly trained fighting men in the world? , "Are you allowing petty jealousies to hold up the legislation we need l.Are you playing politics? Are you posing for the public? Is this thins in your souls, or only in your mouths for reelection?
 eff there are weddings in contro of vital situations. will you get rid o1 them now, or will you wait until thei1 blunders have cost us those we art giving? We are giving everything we have What are you giving, in labor, sinceri ty, high purpose and sacrifice? 'You are talking to us about con servation of food. What, are you do ing to conserve the lives we are put ting in your, hands?
 After all it comes down to on, question from the women of Americ: l-only ten words to voice a million prayers:
 Are you ready to give bur boys fair chance?
 That is not only a question. It i a prayer, for all the mothers of thf country. Surely, dear God, it is no | much to ask" !
