SCRUB SIRE NOT ECONOMICAL
Common and inferior Cattle Never,
Bring As Much Money on Market
as Better Grades.

The only reason that the average
person can give for using a scrub sire
In any line of live stock breeding Is
that they think they are making money
by using a cheap animal. They do not
figure into the future and see that 1t
is the offspring of this animal which
will either make or lose them money.
The corn breeder does not think of Sc
lect;ng the nubbins with which to
plant his corn field. Neither can the
live stock man afford to select a sire
which will not produce q better ana
more uniform class Of stuff. A glance
into the live stock market will con-
vince one that the purebred sire with
the proper individual merit will be a
paying Investment. When common
and inferior steers are selling for nine
cents, a better grade Of steers in the
same kind Of flesh are usually selling
for from 10 to II cents. In addition to
this, the better cattle usually will put
on gains more economically.

FOOD VALUE OF CORN SlLAGE
Crop Is More Easily Harvested and
Put Into Silo Than Rye, Cowpeas
or Alfalfa.

Almost any green crop can be made
into silage successfully. Much care,
however, must be taken to expel the
air from such hollow-stemmed plants
as the small cereal grains by cutting
fine and packing firmly. Other crops,
of which legumes are examples, are de-
ficient in the fermentable constituents
needed for p%alatable silage. On the
other hand, a few crops. such as the
saccharine sorghums, have so much
sugar that unless cut at a more ma
ture stage they have a tendency to
produce sour silage.
In most parts of the United States
more food material can be obtained
from an acre Of corn as silage than
from an acre of any other crop that
can be grown. Corn is more easily
harvested and put into the silo than

PASTURE FOR SHEEP
For Best Results It Is Imperative
That Animals Have Grass Not
Too Closely Bitten.

For best results 1t is imperative
that sheep have frequent changes OF
pasture, that a "fresh bite" be had,
that grass may not be too closely bit
ten, that worms therefore will be less
likely to infest them and that they
may have a surer supply Of mineral
matter as well as organic matter In
their feed. Lambs especially must
have new seeding each spring. On the
sheep-tainted and contaminated pas
lures they infest themselves with
worms. On new grass they escape
worms and besides that, find such
grass more palatable and easily mas
ticated and digested.

maximum quantity of nutrients Is pre-

corn, when sliced, lost 1876 per cent of
the dry matter, against 1913 per cent

field. Moreover, there Is less waste
in feeding silage than in feeding fod-
der, since good silage properly fed is
all consumed. When corr is cut for
silage the land is cleared and left

The story Of King Arthur, rich In

historical side. That herO-king, an.

scriptions in British ballads, had ex-
istence, is possible, for it seems un.
likely that so many associations should
cling around an utterly mythical per-
sonage. Yet he has no mention what.
ever in the Saxon Chronicle. whose
pages are rich in illusions to British
kings struggling for freedom against
the Anglo-Saxon invaders; and our
main authority on the subject Is the
account written, six centuries later
than the reputed period of King Ar
thur, by Geoffry of Monmouth, whose
narratives no one can accept seriously
as truth. The legends, collected and
handed down to us by Sir Thomas
Mallory, writer of Edward Tvs
reign, were printed by Caxt0n under
the title of "MOrte d'Arthur."
When Henry II, in 1177. was in

NEWSPAPERS in Spain.

The Spanish newspaper presents a
problem to the American citizen who
contemplates an advertising campaign

newspapers printed in Madrid, but as
a rule these newspapers are supported
by political, religious or industrial
groups. and the advertiser is neither
the source of income nor, as some
times happens in consequence, the OBJ
ject of deferential admiration that he
IS in the United States.
The editor edits for a public more
interesting in local news than any
other. One must remember also that
