That company, already in operation, paid a monthly dividend of 2 in January and 3 in February. The officers and directors of both companies are chiefly the sam,e gentle men and the newer company has been organized to do just what the other is doing but on a larger scale. its holdings are greater, consisting of four tracts' of 40 acres each in the Mansfield District, right where the Mother Lode of the great Ozark Lead and Zinc fields comes our holdings by drilling.

Farmers, who bundle cattle, and dairymen, who milk cows, always I drciid the late cummer drouth. At I such times exquisitely green pastures i become brown and stock of nil kinds suffer for want of fresh green food. I Those farmers that have silos fo? win ter feeding can provide for the drouth quite easily. Summer silage is being , used more ircncrally each season and I rcveral kinds of silage can be grown. 1 The Kxpcriment Station at Lexing ton, Ky., has used summer silage to very great advantage. For two years rye wiu cut and made into silage; but it was more costly to handle than I corn. If an extra nmount of silaije ; were put up each autumn it could be carried over. Kven nn empty silo thin spring could be partly filled by growing a cm acres of some extra cany corn wnicti would maiurc ancnu cf the drouth. J t
