PRINCESS THEATRE WeOislii, Dec. .Istft benefit catholic order foresters B. HERBERT MILLIGAN , PRESENTS 11 ill 01 Hi By HAL REID. This picture shows why McSwinney starved himself to death. A gripping feature about Ireland with a beautiful love story as the theme. Startling, amazing, almost unbelievable. Truly a picture that impresses. The plot is extraordinarily well worked out, and the details of the story of love and patriotism so cleverly handled as to leave nothing desired. Proclaimed by all to be a ' big picture—it serves to rank among the masterpieces of the screen. “Truth is stronger than fiction and this photoplay is certainly all truth.

Corn Worth More In Silo Than In the Crib. Aside from the fact that thousands of farmers have been able, through the silo, to convert soft, Immature corn into valuable feed, the following figures illustrate why corn in the silo is worth more than in the crib: If corn sells for $0,56 per bushel, silage is worth $7.12 per ton. If corn sells for $0.90 per bushel, silage is worth $8.64 per ton. If corn sells for SI.OO per bushel, silage is worth $9.22 per ton. If corn sells for $1.26 per bushel, silage is worths 10.21 per ton. If corn sells for $1.50 per bushel, silage is worth $11.30 per ton.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

The above figures are taken from an eight-year average determined by the Indiana experiment station, baaed on the value of allage used as a substitue for grain in feeding steers. Milroy Federation Meeting. The Milroy farmers meeting Tuesday evening was well attended: Their regular form of business was carried out very well. The program committee is planning on having a social meeting some time In January which will be held at the Center school house. Their next business meeting night will be on February 1, and the meeting will be held at the same school house. Barium Poisonous to Rats Makes Satisfactory Balt. A study of barium carbonate as a rat poison, made by the United States department of agriculture, Indicates that a 20 per cent mixture with food makes a very satisfactory bait. With this percentage a rat ordinarily needs to eat only one-third or threefourths of a meal of average size to ges a fatal dose. It was found that with this dose many of the rata poisoned died within 24 hours, though an occasional rat was found which survived an even larger amount, thus indicating that 100 per cent mortality is not to be expected in any case. A summary of results of experiments conducted by various persons with a view to determining the deadllness of barium to different animals shows the fallacy of the assumption that barium is poisonous only to rats. It is pointed out that the fatal dose of barium per pound tends to decrease relatively as the size of the animal increases, and that a bait calculated to be fatal to rats may be assumed to be more or less dangerous to small domestic animals also. ■ Time to Look for Mites. This Is the time of the year to be on the constant lookout for the presence of mites on the fowls, and particularly in the poultry house. These Insect pests not only lower the vitality of the birds, and thus renders them liable to disease, but their presence has a decidedly bad effect on egg production. Frequent spraying of all cracks and crevices of the house and the undersides of the roosts with kerosene or 6 per cent carbolic acid will greatly help to eradicate mites, and thus add to the comfort and general health of the birds, r

"The Farmer's Worst Enemy—Rats. The Farmer’s Best Friend — Rat-Snap.”

These are the words of James Baxter, N. J.: “Ever since I tried RATSNAP I have always kept it in the house. Never fails. Used about 43.00 worth of RAT-SNAP a year and figure it saves me S3OO in chicks, eggs and feed. RAT-SNAP is convenieut, Just break up cake, no mixing with other food.” Three Bizes, 35c, 65c, $1.25.
