SENTENCED TO JAIL,
 ROBT. w. SMITH GETS OFF
Wiilimantic Man Who Claimed He Favored Germans, in Hartford Court

Robert W. Smith of this city was charged in the Hartford police court Friday morning with intoxication and with using obnoxious language. He was sentenced to thirty days in jail, with execution of judgment suspended.
 Smith was arrested in the Union station, Hartford, Wednesday after noon after he had said I'm for the Germans! They gave the Americans a damned good licking yesterday and I hope they give, 'em another"
 This speech resulted from two Hart ford girls, in charge of a Red Cross booth in the station. asking Smith if he wanted to join the American Red Cross. He said that he didn't want to and when asked if he didn't want America to- win, he said no. he was for Germany.
 The two girls summoned an officer and when arrested, Smith said he was joking. He was brought before Judge Dickenson Thursday morning and de- clared that he didn't remember saying any such thing and if he did. he was sorry. His case was continued until Friday morning at 9 o'clock and in the meantime he was locked up.
 Smith is employed in this city as a painter, living near the corner of Sum init and Walnut streets. He is mar ried and has several children. one of whom was to meet him in Hartford. Smith was recently sentenced to jail on 8 charge of intoxication and breach of the peace and had been released only recently.

and the greatest Drawback to success

keeping the majority Of our farmers
from raising sheep and wool. is the
useless and worthless dog. Therefore.

dog TO stand in the way of our in
creasing the mutton and wool supply
OF our people. which Ia. ana will con-

SAVE FEED BY
USING THE SILO

The silo offers the best means OF
conserving the farm feed supply. II
enables the farmer to save the feed
stuffs for the future use of his farm
animals IL much the same manner
that the canning machine enables the
housewife to save the vegetables and
fruits for the future use OF the fam.
lily. The present and prospective high
prices and the growing demand for
farm products Of all kinds make It at
snce to the profit and the duty OF
farmers to increase in every way the
efficiency OF their operations. To the
dairy farmer, at least, the silo Is es-
sentiai to efficiency. It's advantages
are too numerous to fully enumerate
here. Suffice 1t to say that expert
nents have proved that silage will
greatly reduce the cost Of feed for
dairy cows and increase the milk pro-
duction. II Is a palatsbis feed, keeps
the stock in a thrifty condition. and
the young stock growing all winter.
II Is more conveniently fed than hay
or corn fodder Silage enables one to
keep a larger number Of live stock ON
q given area Of land than may be
kept on forage crops cut for hay. II
furnishes succulent feed during the
summer when drouths frequently oc-
cur. n prevents the waste OF corn

would otherwise not be eaten by the

30 NOT BUTCHER The
YOUNG FEMALE STOCK
Poor Practice, IN Spite Of tho Prssssss
High prices-

The prices obtcinable for cattle ana
hogs at tho present time offer q great
temptation to sell, even the female
stock, that is hard 10 overcome. Ana
yet il we give a little thought 70 the
future, ones better Judgment would
Certainly suggest the retention Of .
sufficient number of the younger f.
male animals to maintain the supply
and meet the demand for next yeas
ct least, II not for longer.
The writer is led to make this suS-
gestion from Information received
that great numbers of cattle and hogs
are being sent out OF the state. ire
spective OF sex, due no doubt to the
profitable prices that can at present
be had for them. There is an old
saying that money counts" but how
long is it going to count" II our
stockmen dispose Of their female
foundation and afterwards find out
when too late that they have deprived
Themselves Of the necessary females
to breed from and are short Of stock
to sell another year when prices will
be Just as high. II not higher
If this practice Is persisted In II is
going to result In a shortage OF meat
animals when they may be needed
even more than AZ the present time.
In other words, It is not going to con-
serve the meat supply nor 10 1t ulti-
nately going to be the most profit
able to our stock owners.
II may be all right to get rid Of q
reasonable number Of the old and un-
profitable female stuff, but there
should be a rigid line drawn at the
younger female stock II we hope to
maintain and increase the supply and
meet the Nltu-n demands for meat
animals whic' seems not only the
common sense proposition, but pa
triotic and profitable one.-W. Fl.
