Electrified.

A third Of the farm land In Sweden
now uses electricity for power. Farm
crs over there are beginning to make
inquiries about elcctricnlly-pr0pelled
plOwS and hnrrowS. Many Of them
use electric saws to cut their tirewood
and lumber. Some even have electric
elevators that lift whole wagon loads
of hay and grain to the NOW.
Swedish government officials pre-
diet it'll only he n few years until
practically their whole country will be
on an electrical basis.
Where does the power come from7
Usually, large wntcr-power plants.
But many Swedish farmers dam small
streams and use the falling water to
generate their own.
A tip there for American farmers,
remarks the Chicago Evening Post.

LAUGHS q ! AT At PASSING WEARS,
Veteran Nlnety-One Years Young
Rightly an Inspiration to Those
n; a Who Know Him. .*E

Comrade Searles from the Soldiers
home ut Sawtelle was over at San
Gabriel the other dqy. He came by
way Of the trolley car. But he could
have walked easily, had he been 80
minded.
Seventy years ago, Comrade Searles
used often to pass the old mission
Of San Gabriel when the padres and
the Indians were still there. Sixty
years ago he carried musket on his
shoulder in the Civil war. He Is now
ninety-one years young.
And SO he came back to this old
haunt Of his the other day. We found
him sitting in the sun by the side Of
the kings highway making sketches.
He drew fascinating pictures Of the
incomparably beautiful old campanile
of the mission whose bells rang out
long before the Liberty bell in the
tower Of the State house In Phlladel-
phla rang out It's deathless message
In ITO. And he also sketched the old
stairway Of the mission whose stones
are worn with the feet of countless
Indian neophytes since 1t was bullded,
a century and half ago. And a fine
sketch, too, Of the Old Grapevine which
Is the mother of oil the vineyards In
California.
And we thought 1t n delightful eXpe-
rience to have lad. 1t isn't every day
that one meets man nincty-two years
Of age who Is still as spry as a steel
rod, and whose mind retains oil Its
magical faculties. 1t was inspiring.
We were proud to lift our hand to
our eyebrow and stand ut salute be-

BEAR TRAPS FOR BURGLARS
Brooklyn Man Braved Consequences
Of WelI-Known OlA Adage, With
Gratifying Result.

A Mr.. Cognn of the Williamsburg
section OF Brooklyn, nftcr being vis-
tied by burglars ten times, decided to
depend no longer on Commissioner
Enright. He set'a bear trap inside a
window Of his home nrrd caught q bur-
glnr in 1t, the New York Herald
states.
That burglar, 1t may easily be imain
incd, will never try hOuSebrcaliing
again. 1t is one thing to get caught
Mt the crime in the ordinary way, to
be taken to q comfortable police sta
tion. to be released on bail easily
jumped, to be convicted even, and
sent to prison where there are good
food and motion pictures. But 1t Is
quite another thing for the criminal
to feel the iron jaws Of a bear trap
close on his leg. A bear trap does not
coddlc or release on bond.
Unfortunately, every householder
cannot safely set bear trap for
burglars. He might accidentally catch
himself or his wife or the children or
the dog. 1t it were not for that the
whole town might well turn trnpper.

Clemson College, Juno 30.-Dairy
farmers are realizing moro and more
the place Of the silo in the success
iul feeding Of dairy COWS. Business
farmers and experiment stations have
found that Il silo not only increases
the yearly profits Of the farm, but
eliminates many uncertainties Of live
stock raising.
Many products which il fed dry
have little feed value arc converted
into splendid feed by silo. Sixty
per cent Of the feeding value OF a
good corn crop is in the ears and 40
per cent in the stalks and leaves.
When the crop is Il partial failure a
much greater percentage Of the total
nutrients is in the roughage, and in
the event of protracted drought the
rCughagc often contains practically
all the food elements Putting the
corn in tho crib, therefore, does not
mean that the crop is all harvested. &.
Can the farmer afford to waste 40
cents out Of every dollar when by
putting his corn crop in tho silo he
can get its full valuc--100 per cent?
No..
Silage has no equal as a succulent
and economical feed for dairy cat
tie. 1t keeps up tho flow Of milk
when pastures are short, and during
the winter months 1t keeps up milk
production at less cost than dry for
age alone.
The Ohio experiment station has
shown that a silage ration produces
butter fat for ii, per cent less cost
than does a grain ration. A silo Is
very economical storage place, as
ten tons Of silage can be stored in
the same space as one ton Of hay.
The filling Of the silo can be done
in wet as we'll as in dry weather,
while other crops would be entirely
lost If harvested under these condi-
tions. If enough silage Is produced
all the year round, the pasture acre
age can be reduced, and thus a larger
acreage can be used for cultivation.
Another great advantage Of the
use Of the silo Is that the land upon
which silage Is grown Is cleared early
In the season and ready for fall and
winter crops, either rye or oats for
winter pasture or oats and vetch for
hay.
The use OF silage during the sum-
mer is particularly applicable on high
priced land. In pasture 1t requires
one to three or more acres a season
for each cow, while one acre Of corn
in the silo will supply succulent
roughage for several COWS for q like
period.
Soiling crops have been used ex-
tensively in place Of or in addition
