'One of the striking features of the
foregoing figures" says Mr.. Cavert,
SIS that silage does not show to as
good advantage as in the various Elk
pertinent Station reports. This is
doubtless due to the fact that silage
at So ton is a high priced feed COM
pared to corn at 80 cents a bushel,
and also to the fact that these feed
ers failed to keep the hay ration at
minimum, with the result that the
total amount of hay and silage made
too large a proportion of roughage
for the best gains"

w. l.. Cavert, farm management
demonstration with the agricultural ex-
tension service of the university,
points out in a recent statement that
the price of corn in surplus sections
of Minnesota is almost as cheap as
anywhere in the United States Ac-
cording to the September Crop Re-
porter, the average Minnesota price
was 40 cents bushel.

con 10 year average" says Mr.
Cavert, "the only localities having
cheaper corn than the surplus sections
of Minnesota are southeastern South
Dakota and northeastern Nebraska.
This does. mot mean that the farmer
in southern Minnesota may not lose
money on feeding cattle, but it does
mean that with equal skill in feeding,
his profits will be greater or his losses
less than those of farmers with high
er priced corn. e.

IN GAELIC SCRIPT
Irish Delegates Signed the Re-
cent Treaty With England.
Was Devised by Monks of ireland in
the Early Days of Christianity
Ogham Is an older System.

Signatures of the Irish delegates on
the lrish-English treaty received CON
siderable notice because they We're
the ancient Gaelic instead of the Brit
ish names of the delegates, and be
cause they were written in the ilorid
ana, In English eyes, distorted, Gaelic
script For one not accustomed to the
Gaelic style of writing it was difficult
10 make out the signatures.
GooIic scrip, is old. 1t was devel-
opod by monks in Ireland in the early
days If Christianity. Yet there is an
older script than this. There IS a
more genuine Gaelic system of writ
ing, known as Ogham.
Ogham is the system Of writing
which grew from some root which
may have been contempOraneous with
the root Of the Celtic race And curl
ously Ogham may still be found in
traces In Ireland among the Cymrl Of
Wales and the Gaels of Scotland.
Ogham specimens may be found en-
grayed on fiat rocks In whatever sec
lions Of earth Celts were in the days
of Ogham.
There is a story Of a shopkeeper In
little town in Ireland, who lived less
than hundred years ago and who
was nagged continually while he lived
by the authorities because, they said,
he had no sign above the door Of his
shop. He tried to show them the sign
and tried to read it TO them, and
finally someone who knew what
Ogham was satisfied the authorities
by translating it into letters which
the authorities recognized. The
scratches over the door of the shop,
when put into English letters, really
spelled out that old Irishman's name.
Nobody knows how Ogham started
or when. The nature of the writing
the foundation of it-has led men to
believe 1t grew In n time when the
only writing surfaces were blocks of
stone. 1t is essentially a script for
scratching.
The Ogham alphabet has 20 letters,
beginning in order, with Il, l.. S, in
stead Of the A, Il, c of the Phoenician
alphabet which must have been born
ages after Ogham. The Ogham alpha
bet is divided into four groups; all the
letters are alike, being lines, and are
diStinguiShable from one another by
the number of lines used, by position

the largest known deposits, although
the country is relatively poor in high
