II has been said that good silage is

most healthful, greatest milk and meat
producing roughage known. The silo
question has resolved itself into u
farm necessity. When the farmer has

The kitany Of Reduction.

The litany Of reduction is exercise,

are tired, and then don't rest, but get
up and exercise some more. Acquire

make up your mind to 1t, you can re.
duce to the exact figure you desire.

meeting again and how it may be with
each other meanwhile. Parting with
those who are now leaving for Sthe
service of country Is especially sad, for
they go to face danger, it may be to
give up life, says the Milwaukee Jour
nal. We hope that the many may re-
turn we'll and happy after performing
the high duty they owe their country.
But not all will come back. Some will
have given life or limb. And honor
and aid and tenderness are due from
those who stay. Is there an estrange-
ment among friends or relatives? Be
reconciled. We cannot know who is
to be called to give up life. Do not
have to remember that there was
hatred or malice or uncharitableness
of parting. Be forglving. 1t is n time
to forget and forgive all past offenses.
To feel that one leaves friends,
leaves with the good will and good
wishes Of all, helps nerve the arm in

trial. To forgive is divine. When one
faces SO great and so serious crisis,

honor are his from those he leaves

NAVY SHORT 25,ooo MEN

Upon the declaration of war with
Germany the total allowed number of
men for the navy was Increased from
$4,000 to 1884, 900, or almost double
the previous peace strength. Up to
September first the entire country
has recruited $4,000 men, making the
total enlisted strength to date 14O.-
900. leaving a shortage of approxi-
mately $4,000 men.
Colorado, Wyoming and Northern
New Mexico have sent 1850 men to
the navy since April first. AN navy
recruiting stations are still working
hard to make up the existing short
age; and practically all ratings in the
navy except general electric inns and
yeomen tor clerical branch) are still
open to enlistment.
None CT the men who are drafted
for the national army are sent to the
navy, as the latter is entirely vclun-
teer propC sition. However drafted
men who have net been notified to
appear fer examinati IL before local
exemption boards are eligible for en-
hstmen. in the navy. The present
ages for navy enlistment ufe 1885.
AT the present time 20 men per
week are enlisted from the Colorado,
Wycmirg ard Northern New Mexico
district. These men are transferred
Immediately to he trailing station
at Great Lakes, Illinois, located on
Lake Michigan, 80 miles nor h of Chi
cago After comIl leticn N of their train
ing course they are ordered to the
new vessels of the navy as fast as
they are completed.
The fact that large percentage of
the Ien who enlist i'm the navy are
ta-ght mechanical trades enables
,hsm 10 improve hei- time and edu-
caicn, at the same ime they are rem
dering patriotic duty to their conn-
try by giving their services.
All yCung men who have not defin-
itely decided that they prefer army
service should at on,e get in touch
with the nearest navy recruiting sta,
ticn, in order to learn of the require
ments and advantages of navy enlist
ment All inlriries by mail are
promptly answered at the following

True Mahogany Scarce.

A bulletin published by the de-
partment of agriculture on the subject
Of mahogany records, among other in
teresting facts, the bewildering am
biguity of the term ''mahogany." True
mahogany is produced only by two
closely related species of trees, Swie-
tenia mahagoni Jacq, and Sweitenla
macrophylla King, both natives Of
tropical America. The name ''mahog-
any," with or without some qualify
ing word such as ~Indian," MADEIRA" :"
African" "PhiiiFpine." ETC., is, how
ever. applied to cabinet woods grown
In great many parts of the world.
These sO-called mahOganies belong to
81 distinct species, Of Al genera, and
they are scattered through 1S families
of the vegetable kingdom. OF some Of
the West African species the botanical
status is unknown. To add to the con-
fusion, true mahOgany has many names
and several more or less distinct vari-
eties are recognized commercially.
