Like so many of the garments made
for this winter, 1t looks like COM
bination of two styles, and one Is
liable to look twice before deciding
whether it is an afternoon frock that
resembles suit, or a suit that wishes
to play the part of frock. Anyway.

the air as much as possible. It 10
upon this one thing that the keeping
of silage largely depends. A device
consisting of a jointed pipe, or some
variation Of 1t, attached to the top Of
the blower pipe is ut present In use
for distributing the cut corn fodder
in the silo. BY the use Of this distribu.
tor It is possible at the same time to
scatter the cut corn evenly and at
tile same time tramp It. Without the
use of this device it Is necessary to
have at least one extra man In the
silo to fork the material over 80 that
IL is evenly packed. Besides the saw
ing Of one mans labor, the dlstribu-
tor does away with the nuisance Of
having the loose material flying
Ground, thus annoying the man In the
silO, and also lessons the danger OF
being struck by some foreign object
that may have passed through tho
blower.
Oftentimes the corn fodder is so dry
when it is cut that 1t is necessary to
add water to make up Tor the DELL
cheney in moisture and provide for the
proper packing Of the silo. This wa
ter is most easily added to the blower
when the corn is being cut, and It IL
also more thoroughly mixed with the
cut material in this way.
For the top layer Of the silo It Is
good practice to use heavy green stalks
from which the ears have been re-
moved. This forms heavy layer
that packs well and at the same time
contains a smaller amount Of food
material so that the minimum loss Is
sustained II 1t spofls. Various meth
co.'s and materials have been used for
covering the top of the silage to pre-
vent it's spelling. None has given
complete satisfaction, but the one
mentioned above has given as good re.
suits as any, especially when the top
layer was thoroughly wet down and
tucked firmly by tramping. The best
practice is to commence feeding 40
soon as the silo is filed, In which case
there will be no loss Of silage through
decay.

No opportunity to kill rats should be
neglected on the farm. Traps, dogs,
cats, and pOisons may be useful. The
first need is traps and a knowledge Of
how to use them. The most reliable
traps for general use are the inexpen-
sive snap, or guillotine, traps. Many
efficient kinds are on the market. but
the cheaper ones are rarely to be rec
commended for durability. Those that
have sheet-metal bases are not desir-
able. as rats fear and avoid them. Snap
traps should be set so that they will
spring at a slight touch. They may
be placed In rat runs, at rat burrows,
behind boards leaned against the wall,
and In great variety Of other favor
able places. Dry oatWeal (rolled oats)
is recommended as bait for both rats
and mice. Place q few grains on tho
trigger pan or under the trigger wires
with a few grains near the trap.
Useful Wire Cage Trap.
The wire-cage trap, If substantially
made, is useful on the farm. Coarse
bait is required, and may be hung from
the top Of the trap by light wire. Set
the trap on floor or on board, lay
a short board on top, and cover the
whole with an old cloth or gunny sack,
leaving only the trap entrance uncov.

open for night or two until rats learn
to feed inside, after which a good
catch may be expected. An excellent
plan for using the cage trap is to bore
q hole two or three inches In diameter
at proper height in the door of gram
airy or feed room. The hole may be-
covered with a metal slide when the
trap Is not In use. Set the trap in.

PASSPORT IDEA IS OLD ONE
There 10 Record Of Document Granted
by Julius Caesar to
- Philosopher.

According to a writer in London An
swers, passports, without which one
cannot at present quit the country ex-
cept as soldier or a sailor, are of
very ancient origin. The earliest of
which there is record IL one granted
by Julius Caesar to a philosopher, and
is worded as follows:
If there be anyone On land or sea
hardy enough to modest Potaman, let
him consider whether he be strong
enough to wage war with Caesar"
In normal times passport is not a
difficult thing to obtain in England. The
application must be accompanied by a
declaration made by the applicants
banker, or any mayor, magistrate, min
lister of religion, barrister at law, ply
sician. solicitor or notary. It is lingu-
istically a highly ornate document,
with, the royal arms at its head. an
imposing array Of titles set forth in
grandiloquent language and printed in
the best copper plate.
At the base is the coat Of arms Of
the foreign secretary, followed by his
signature, Autographed. The bearers
signature completes the document, and
the whole thing may be considered
cheap ut two shillinEs. .-r
II a person wishes to travel in any
of those countries where passport Is
a necessity he must obtain the ac-
acknowledgement Of rekistration-that Is
the vise-of the embassy or consulate
Of that country. This costs a further
sum Of from two to nine shillings.

Cut corn for silage when the kerr

Rod the greatest amount Of food ma
terial can be obtained and the best
quality of silage made.
The cutter should be adjusted to cut
the corn in short lengths, with three
fourths of an inch us the maximum
length. In general, the finer the fod.
der is cut the more easily and more
compactly 1t can be packed and, In

led to believe back in America. The
girls were attractive, but he scOffed at
the idea of falling in love with one of
them. Then he had met Juanita. She
was so different from the rest-so like
an American, and yet so unlike one.
She appeared educated and refined.
When Jack realized that he was really
falling in love>with her. he was panic
stricken. Recollectons of the fate of
the hero Of ''The Bird of Paradise"
and other Hawaiian plays swarmed
into his brain and caused him to cut
short his stay. Juanita was all right
in Hawaii, but she would be out of
place in America. He had sense enough
to see that. s-...
But as Jack sat Eliminating over It,
he wondered If he had been wise. It
was not fair to Juanita to come away
as he had. He had been in America
Tor a month, but had been 80 busy on
his songs he hadn't had an opportunity
to think 1t over before. It was hard
on her If she thought anything Of him.
After all she was a. woman in her
heart Just the same as any American
girl was. Perhaps she was breaking
that heart at the very minute. The
thought of those big. laughing eyes,
dimmed with tears, made Jack miscr-
