The Truth Won the Pass.

When Dean Richmond was at the
head of the New York Central, boy
asked him for pass to his home town.
Richmond could assume very terrible
aspect, and, looking as awful as he
could, he roared at the youngster,
Why do you want a pass?" The boy
was so terrified that he forgot the
speech he had learned for the occa-
sion, and blurted out, Because
don't want to pay" Dean Richmond
remarked that this was the first time
anyone had ever told the truth in
asking for pass and he gave the
boy his first free ride.

DAIRY CATTLE NEED SlLAGE
succulence It Supplies Is Very Neces-
sary for Large Milk Production
Cheapest Of Feeds.

Siiage is the best and cheapest form
in which to store succu&nt feed.
Many forage crops can be made into
silage. but corn. where it can be
grown successfully. makes the best
silage.
Good silage depends upon cutting
the crop at the right stage, fine cut
ting. even distribution. thorough
packing and plenty of moisture in the
cut material When rightly put up
and carefully fed. there should be
little il any loss through spelling.
Silage is well suited for feeding to
all live stock. Dairy cows need IT
perhaps more than other classes OF
animals. because the Eucrulence II
supplies is very necessary for large
milk production. 1t is a cheap ana
economical feed for beef cattle, from
breeding cow to fattening steer Sheep
like it. and 1t is well suited to their
needs. Even horses and mules may
be fed limited quantities OF good
silage with excellent results.

The labor of watering the stock can

About 81 per cent of the milk Is

water to produce 10 gallons OF milk,
besides the water she needs for her

Price Of Butter Still Remains At
High Figure In Cities.

Feed prices down so per cent. or
more and hutterfat prices still high
should mean that men who are, now
milking cows or who get into the dairy
business will make money. Corn and
alfalfa have made decided drops In
nrice. while butter is still retailing
around 60 cents a, pound in these
cities. Hence the best way to mar
ket these two feeds would appear to
be through stock. especially milk cows.
A few good milk cows. with feed as
cheap as it now is. assures an income
and should mean good profit.
