everything was right with the boy.
Pulling on heavy coat and rain hat,
he stepped from the beachhouse into

Mrs. Olmstead and a group Of friends
stood at the beachhouse windows and
watched Olmstead's progress through
the storm. The son watched from the
door of the tent.
Fifteen feet from the club Olmstead
was struck by bolt Of lightning. For
full minute the crowd in the beach

score of the men rushed to the scene.
Mrs. Olmstead and the son were over

The body was carried to the house.

GLAZED STAGE BEST SILAGE
When Corn Kernels Arc Well Denied
II Is Ready for SiIo, Is Opinion
of Specialists.

The question, "When is the best time
to cut corn for silage?" is again being
frequently asked. The weight of ex-
perienee of experiment station men at
University Farm is that corn Is ready
for the silo when the kernels are well
dented or glazed. Analyses made by
chemists have shown that the corn
from an average acre cut at the glazing
period contains 1908 pounds of d.
gestible matter as against 1920 pounds
when the corn is cut at tasseIing time.
While there is larger amount of
green corn to the acre when the corn
ID in the tasseling stage. the total
amount Of dry matter is not nearly so
great then as when the corn has
glazed. The dry matter per ton
amounts to 2S5 pounds at the tasseling
stage, 1923 at the silking stage. $50 in
the early milk. 444 In the late milk,
and 523 pounds at the glazing stage.
In case there is danger of frost, corn
should be cut early rather than al
lowed to wait for the maximum
pounds of dry matter.

WRONG TO CARRY A "ROLL"
Too Much Money Is Kept Out Of Cir

in the Pockets.

That extra wad of bills the average

detriment to the national credit and
direct instigator of crime, according to
J. Fl. Tregoe, secretary-treasurer of the
National Association of Credit Men
and formerly leader in the CONNER
cial life of Baltimore.
This opinion is agreed to by Secre-
tary Mormngstar, Of the Credit Mems
Association of Baltimore.
Scores Of millions Of dollars, il not
hundreds Of millions, are estimated as
being carriedsneedlessly in the pockets
of American citizens, and wtile In the
pocket the money is as definitely with
drawn from circulation as II 1t were

person" he said. "TEe workingman

MILLET HAY FED TO HORSES
North Dakota Station Finds It Good
When Given In Moderation With
Some Concentrate.

Millet hay fed in moderation Is a
good food for horses. 1t should not
be the sole roughage and should be
fed with some concentrate. Make sure
that the hay has been cured prop
erly.
Several years ago the North Da-
kota experiment station fouEd that
millet hay when fed in excessive guam
titles had tendency to cause an
increased action of the kidneys as
well as lameness and a swelling of
the joints. This seemed to be due to
an infusion of the blood into the
joints. which destroyed the texture Of
the bone. When fed In limited
amounts and In connection with grain
there was no such tendency, but on
the other hand it proved a very good
food.
