Selling Corn Silage for Feed

w. S. D., LAGRANGE, Ga,
writes: I have a large quantity
OF good corn silage that I can
not use with my own herd. L
have several neighbors who are
dairymea and they wish to use
some Of it, but do not know
what price to charge. Please adj
wise me about what I ought to
to for it.
1t is difficult to place satisfac-
tory price on silage. AS you doubt
less know, it would take several
tons of it to provide the same
amount Of dry matter as a. ton of
good hay. On the other hand, the
succulence of the silage gives it a
value and a palatab ility which hay
does not possess. In pre-war times
we used to figure that a ton of silage
was worth about $3.50. We should
think it would have a considerably
higher value at this time and that
possibly $3.50 would be fair price.
The amount to charge for silage de-
ponds a good deal on how it is han
died. If you haul it yourself then
this item should be covered in addi-
ton to the $3.50. If your neighbors
haul the silage then $3.50 would
probably be a. fair price. We are

Handling a Cow That Brings Dead
Calves

B. F. D., Bolivar, La, writes:
Please give me a remedy for a
cow that brings dead calves.
She is due to calve in a few
weeks, and I wish to know II
there is any treatment l could
use that would insure her
bringing live calves.
We Judge from the description con-
tanned in your letter that your COW
is suffering from what appears to
he contagious abortion. This is a
disease which has been known for
a long time, and results in causing
the affected animals to drop their
young prematurely. This is very
insidious disease. AS a rule it de-
velops slowly during the6 early
months of the CESSATION period. On
that account the owner of animals
is likely to conclude that they are
in a perfectly healthy and normal
condition. In many cases the calf is
carried almost for the fulltime.
1t may be said in general that
there is no effective treatment for
this disease. The use of many medic
inal agents has been employed, such
as carbolic acid and methylene blue.
There are many serums on the mar
ket at the present time. Some of
them offer q certain measure Of re-
lief, but none of them can be class
ed as distinctly effective up to the
present time. In a situation such
as that by which you are confront
ed we would advise that you fatten
this animal as soon as the next calf
is dropped, and sell her for beef. The
meat will not be diseased in any
sense.
You should, Of course, disinfect
the stable and lot. occupied by this
cow as completely as possible. In
fact, 1t will be desirable to keep all
other animals away from this part
Of your premises for a good long
time. Probably one of the most eff
fective disinfectant solutions you
could use would be one part Of car
bolic acid to 1000 parts of warm
water. Thoroughly clean the stall,
manager, and all parts of the lot used
by the cow in question.

ence how the race goes. When 1t Is
over have quiet little conversation
with yourself, and give general In
structions not to let the same thing
happen .sm.,.
There Is such thing as being so
good loser that you like to lose. And
there are no competitions run off In
this world which you can afford to
enter merely for the pleasure OF
letting some other man win.
You are perfectly justified In feel
ing bad when you have lost. You are
justified In taking yourself into a
corner for a lecture on the folly Of
losing. The continual loser will in the
end have to part with his self-respect
and his courage, and become a mere
cumberer of the earth.
Try to win as hard as you can. If
you lose next time make up your
mind that you will win the next. De-
termine that you will win oftener than
you lose and that you will win as
nearly 100 per cent as possible.
Then when you do lose, you can
bear 1t with better grace, for you
will know that such a thing is not
going to happen very frequently.

ARE YOU WORTHY?

a COMMON and frequent complaint
nowadays among self-esteelned
young men and women is that they
are not making satisfactory progress.
with more or less petulance they
declare that their incomes are not
sufficient to keep them in the style
In which they want to live.
Instead Of being compelled to de-
pend on popular shops for their
clothes, they yearn to be in position
to patroniZe high-priced tailors and
dressmakers, and thus in their false
estimation keep step with the rich
by making repeated shows of fine
feathers.
The plebian atmosphere in which
these hapless mOrtals are surrounded
is most displeasing.
Any real effort to improve their
mental qualifications is apart from
the question, and contrary to their
inmOst wishes.
Though apostles of laxity, devotees
of empty pleasures and devout dis
ciples at the shrine Of prodigality.
these disgruntled young men and
women openly blame the world for
their imagined plight, often condemn
ing their employers for holding them
down, when as a matter of fact their
employers have nothing whatever to
do with it.
The man or woman who is really
DESTROYS of rising to the surface
where he or she can swim with head
above water must pull hard, con-
tinuous stroke, quite regardless of
what others are doing.
1t is the only way to keep at the
top and keep moving ahead
Drifting is perilous to everybody
who INDUCES in it, certain in the end
to lead to disaster by wrecking the
fondest hopes and highest aspirations.
In spite of our vaunted pride of
progress, drifting is becoming ma
tiOnal habit, particularly among the
puny-minGed who bend their knee to
the god of gold rather than to the
god of wisdom.

DOES SALT MAKE US
THIRSTY

A NYONE who has suffered from
"A nOse-bieed or who has tasted
human blood knows that it contains
considerable proportion Of salt
approximately the same amount as
Is present In sea water. This Is only
natural, because salt IL one Of the
essentials of the body and Is carried
through it by means Of the veins ard
arteries which feed the different parts
Of this intricate mechanism.
When an unusual amount Of salt
is taken into the stomach, it reacts
In two ways. In the first place, the
blood, being already supplied with all
the salt that 1t cares to handle, de-
elines to take on any more and the
saline solution remains in the stomach
-"uncalled for" as it were. Then.
TOO, salt rapidly absorbs water and
its presence in the stomach causes that
organ to send out hurry call for
some means of flushing out the excess
which cannot be utilized by the body.
The sensation Of being thirsty" Is,
therefore, merely the manifestation
that the stomach needs something with
which to dilute the unusual amount
Of salt-just as when we feel thirsty
from otker causes it is a sign that the
body needs some kind of liquid to
assist 1t In its usual functions.

BE A COCO LOSER


IF WE oil liked to lose, this would
a. be a shiftless and an ambitionless
life.
It Is natural 10 want to win in any
competition, business or athletic.
Any self-respecting man would like
to feel that he can outstrip the other
fellow In any race he enters.
He feels chagrined when he loses.
But IL he amounts to anything he does
not show 1t.
To whine, to lose your temper. to
invent excuses, to show jealousy If
you lose, Is poor craftsmanship and
poor judgment.
You may feel badly because you
have lost, and you ought to, but re-
member that you, and no one else, are
responsible For II the competition

of winning you shouldn't have entered

ALLOW FOR FUTURE TRAFFIC

prisino Fact.

prepared by the United States Department
of Axriculture.)
In building a road liberal allowance
should be made for future increase in
traffic, says the bureau Of public roads
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. A traffic count conducted
by the bureau In cooperation with
Tennessee officials on q number Of
roads In Dawson county, in which
Nashville is located, shows surprising
facts when compared with similar
count in 1916. During this period au-
tomobile registrations have doubled.
while the number Of motor vehicles on
the roads Is five times as great as In
1915. In 1916 horse-drawn and motor
vehicle traffic were almost equal in
volume. In 1921 horse-drawn traffic
had increased only Slightly in volume
and constituted 16 per cent Of the
traffic, motor vehicles constituting 81
per cent.
Observations in this and other cOun-
tries lead to the conclusion that vol
ume of traffic may increase in much
greater proportion than the number OF
motor vehicles and will also depend
