Top fi'ccd In Pit SHo Will Furnish Warm, Appetizing Feed Throughcut Winter for Deef or Dairy Cattle and Sheep. (Prepared ,y xt-.m ITr.HM Sat"i Ptp-srt-rr .-r.t of Agriculture A ry practical uny of meeting th" pr-y'iit hay tdmrtage Is through the use f hoot-top ?Uage, HO pound" of n !.!?, . r day per steer will reduce th animal's r,ny requirements by one-half. That thre. pound of beet-top silage t .-r .1 j,.-r hva l of -heop will reduce the hay requirements ' fully cue-half la th- experience of many feeders who have tried out the newer way of utilizing sugar beet by-products. On many fields as much as five tons p.-r acre of ullage can be had. when the tops are promptly gathered and vnt into piles. fnunediatelj' after the I beets are topped. This prevents scattering r.r. 1 waste. The farmer, after gathering the tops, should pile them In a i It silo, packing thera down firmly, and sealing them over with fresh beet pulp or earth. A satisfactory silo may be made by scocplng out a bole of suitable size and tlninsf the sides and bottom with straw before fill In jr. After .".') days, on opening the pit ftne quality of warm, succulent feed win be available. The silage has a value equal to about one-half the value of hay. The feed should be collected handy to the feeding yards. The silage comes out of the pit In warm, appetizing condition all through the winter feeding period. In fact, some growers hold a part of the silage for summer f.- ding to supplement the short-grass ftnon when pastures are suffering for lack of moisture. The silage Is g 1 for beef or dairy vnttle and also for sheep. When fed In regulated amounts, excellent results are had. Much larger values nre had from beet tops when siloed inid fed as a blended ration than when grazed off the field In the usual way. Saving one-half of the hay crop is a hi- lt m this season where a bay fehortajrt exists. IS YOUR ICE HOUSE FILLED? Season Is Gsttlng Lata and Farmer Should Not Wait Any Longer for Summer Supply.

Not ion ago the surface bepan to develop an amazing series of cracks like the VrowN feet" about an old man's eye. The man greeted the cracks with amazement rapidly becoming Clr z-.t. I!tv time he looked at

the car he lost h'.s : ppetlte and bis good temper. Th-' other day the car was taken to the paint shop. It owner was fully prepared to beer that he had used the wrong kind of polish, that he had let the car stand out !:i the sun, that anythlnz and evervthlng had spoiled the paint except that the paint itself was at fault. The painter looked the car over. "If ycu'll bring it in, 111 do It over," he aid. 'The vgrnlsh must have been bad." It was all over In two minutes. The rsan's faith In human nature Jumped several hundred per cent. The sky was clear; the whole world was set la rosy hue. Here was a man who didn't dodge responsibility, who tried no excuse, who backed his work with his word and made good his word. Isn't It a pretty good policy? , EH D ED WITH HOMORS EVE!

J., tells a story of a battle he saw between a rattlesnake and a pet ca It ended fatally for both. Mr. Lesmig saw a rattler about four feet long going toward the river. He picked up a eln'i and was about to start for it when, he declares, a cat leaped out ahead of ITTtn and set upoa the snake. The cat got n fine hold on the bartc of the rattler's head. Hot the saake fought desperately arid got in a sting which caused the cat to release its hold and crawl avay. Tn twrnt? mirutes the cats Dooy 'dn& swollen nlrnsr twice its size and thi bo! son finally caused death. The snake had been so severely ivounded it w?s unable to rind cover and when a criw ui-,eovereu it ijtn ia the open field it was too weak to offer resistance and was soon swinglag in the air as the bird made S with it.

Consequently the elghty-three-year-old statesman waits each year for the arrival of the watermelon season, ana iust as soon as the ripe ones begin to arrive Uncle Joe may be seen sticking a big chunk of something red lata His mouth. Sometimes he goea at it coon fashion" and plays a solo with Ms ups on a long, red slice, throwing afray each Itaplaiaenta as knives and forks. Uncle Joe can tell whea a watarisidou thumps right and knows by tie color and genersl appearanca whether the melon Is sweet and Juicy or vraf pulled too green. Wise Child. A miserly landlord was going round collect I nr his rents the other day. At one house he was greatly interested in a little girl who watched open-mouth-?d and open-eyed the business or paying over the money and accepting the receipts. He patted hereon the head and etarted to seareh h!s pockets, saying: "I must see what 1 have got for you." After searching his pockets for some time he at last brought out from a remote corner a peppermint. As he handed It to the girl he said: "And now what will you do with that?" The little girl looked at It, then at Mm. and replied: "Wash lt.M English Women Buying Farms. Women In England are buying their own farms or their own truck and gar den spaces In rather conspicuous numbers. And this is all an outcome of the tremendous work done by women on the land during the war. The general feeling is that there will not be much room for the common female funa laborer as time advances, bat for the woman who has a little money and who looks upon farming as her profession and her life work there is excellent opportunity in this direction. In the first place, on account of the compact location of the garden spaces and the cities In England transportation of foodstuffs Is easy. Then garden truck and flowers do grow abundantly and profusely there, and always find ready markets. Tha Forgetful Parson. Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson tells an amusing story of an old West country parson who had to hold two services, one in Ids own ehureh an-.f oca In the church over the moor. On arriving at the latter church he got into the pulpit and said' he was awfully sorry, but he had forgotten to bring a most admirable sertaoa which he had written. "Luckily," he ecntlv.ued..

The value of staying at school is stated in dollars and cents in figures recently compiled by the bureau of education and distributed to boys and girls throughout the country by the children's bureau. From a study of a large number of actual cases it has been found that at twenty-five years of age the boy who remained in school until he was eighteen had received $2,000 more salary than the boy who left school at fourteen, and that the better-educated youth was then receiving more than $900 a year more in pay. "This is equivalent to an investment of S1S.000 at 5 per cent." the statement said. "Can a boy increase his capital as fast in any other way? "From this time on the salary of the better-educated boy will rise still more rapidly, while the earnings of the boy who left school at fourteen will Increase but little." The Green Sawyer. Gen. Marlborough Churchill was talking In Washington about the work of the Intelligence department, of which he is the head. "It is delicate work," Gen. Marlborough Churchill said, "work that requires experience. The inexperienced Intelligence officer and we had a lot of him during the war Is apt to be about as useful as the young college man in the lumber camp. "This college man was set to workon a cross-saw with an old-stager. He sawed pretty well for an hour or so, and then his strength gave out. Still he kept on. or tried to keep on, but all of a sudden the old-stager stopped.' "'Son.' he said, 'I don't mind yer ridin on the saw, but if It's jest the same to you. I'll nst ye to keep your feet off the ground.' " Unfounded Report. The following advertisement ap peared in the Birmingham press is April, 1S00: Thirty guineas reward Whereas a malicious and unfounded report having been industrially prop:, gated (tending to injure the character of James, John and Thomas Ceilings) stating that each have at times ap peared in disguised Habit (represent ing the devil) with an intent to extort money from the fearful, whoever can discover the author of this report shali receive the above named by applying to James Collings, Cottage lane, near the sand pits, Birmingham, April 11 1S0C. Marvelous Memories. It Is claimed for Mr. Timmins th Shakespearean scholar who has jus died, that at the age of twenty-one h recited the whole of "Hamlet" frcrrmemory. Among the professional reciters such a feat would not be regarded as very remarksMe. The iate Samuel Brandraro kn-w by heart practically the whole of Shakespeare, and Shakespeare wa only one of his many favorites. In his "Nights With the Poets and Humorists" Brandraro drew from V. sources, read nothing and was nevet known to forget Uu. London Chrc n tele. An Endless Chain. "We're very unsettled in our flat." said the worried-looking man at th club. "What's the trouble?" asked his friend. "Well, our children keep the next door neighbors awake, so they pass the time by playing the piano; that makes the pet dog next door to them bark, and that keeps the children next doer awake, and there's so much noise through the building that there's no chance at all of our children going to sleep." Usefulness Gone. "I hear there are many poisonous snakes in your part of the country." "Not now. What's the use of tix;:-i when every place is dry?"
