sail up the Savannah river and bury
their stolen doubloons and pieces Of

swamps. A fortune teller once came
through and for consideration of S25
each agreed to tell the negroes just
where the gold was buried. He col

then with great deal of ceremony
staked out as many locations in the
sand as he had customers. He then
told them very solemnly to come to
that spot in the light of the moon

at the end of their shadow. Then he
sailed away on a river steamer. And

FIND COST OF FEED IN OHIO
Hundred Pounds Of Milk Produced at
Rate Of 60 Cents When SiIage
ls Furnished.

At the Ohio college it was found that
100 pounds Of whole milk can be pro-
duced at the rate of 6S cents when
silage Is fed, and butter at cost OF
49, cents pound. However, when
an average feed is fed without silage,
1t costs $1.95 to produce 100 pounds OF
whole milk, and % cents to produce a
pound Of butter. The same can be
said for beef production. Silage and
little cottonseed meal, or clover hay
soy beans or cowpeas will make a bal,
anced ration. Moldy silage should not
be fed to stock at any time.
