Silage, because Of the grain that 1t

large amounts of cheap, rough feeds
are available the silo may not always
prove economical. However, when
such roughage is scarce and high
priced the feeding Of stlage usually
will pay. This would be especially
true if, instead Of cutting their high

HAS CONFIDENCE IN AMERICA
English Writer Satisfied That Coun-
try's Spirit Is Undefeated and
Undefeatable.

The soundness at core of the modern
man has had one long triumphant DEM
onstration. Take that wonderful little
story of a certain British superintend-
ent of the pumping station at some
oil wells in MeSOpOtamia. A valve in
the oil pipe had split and a fountain
of oil was being thrown up on all
sides; while thirty yards off and moth
ing between, the furnaces were in full
blast.
To prevent a terrible confagration
and great loss of life, and save the Oil
wells, it was necessary to- turn off the
furnaces. The superintendent, without
a moments hesitation, sprang through
the oil spray, turned off the furnaces,
and died. Modern man has been doing
things like that all through this war.
We BritOns are an insular people,
ignorant, for the most part, of any
thing outside our own empire; and it
has struck me as a rather wonderful
tribute to America that one could go
the length of Britain and find hardly
a creature who was not confident that
Americans will display the same en-
durance, bravery and unselfishness
that we have seen displayed by our
own men all these years. Instructive
ly, we know and feel it.
There is something proud in Ameri-
cans as in ourselves, something unde-
feated and undefeatable. It comes of
our common cult of freedom and of the
individual conscience, and in both our
countries is a growing, not whitening,
quality.-John Galsworthy in Harper's
Magazine.

THINGS THAT GROW DOUBLE
Freaks of Nature That the Wisest of
Men Find Some Difficulty in
Explaining.

Nature does some strange things in
the formation of vegetables, nuts and
different kinds of fruits, an exchange
states. 1t is quite common to find two
or more growing together, and natural
lists frequently run across some very
curious freaks.
Double ears of corn are quite COM
mon. They grow side by side, and are
sometimes of equal size; but usually
one has little better chance to grow
and gets the advantage over the other.
A double ear on exhibition in one of
the Western states was certainly Gu
riosity. One side was one variety of
corn, while the other side was so diff
ferent that it was hard to believe the
two had grown so close togther.
Double heads of wheat are quite
common, but double grains are scarce.
Grains of rye, however, are often dou-
BILE, and the same is true of rice.
Onions, radishes, beets, carrots, tur-
nips, cabbages and other vegetables
are often found in double form.
The prettiest specimens of double
peaches are those with two seeds, as
they are most distinctly double, being
joined at point about halfway from
the stem of the blossom ends.

Shortest Railroad.

You have heard of shortest rail-
roads before. Always they're the most
abbreviated ever. But off-hand one
would grant the prize to Missoula.
Mont. 1t has a railroad only 100 feet
long. It connects the Northern Pacific
with the c., M. & st. p, and is used as
a transfer. It has no equipment, no
employees, and no stations, yet the
company that owns 1t gets so cents for
every car that passes over its rails.
