Making and Feeding of
..-..Silage.
-- -
Silage during the last three
decades has come into general
use throughout the United States
especially in those regions where
the dairy industry has reached
its greatest development. Silage
is universally recognized as a
good and cheap feed for farm
stock.and particularly so for cat
tle and sheep, are the observa
tions made ,in Farmers' Bulletin
578.
Silage is the best and cheapest
form in which a succulent feed
can be provided for winter Use,
continues the bulletin. An acre
of grain can be placed in the silo
at a cost not exceeding that of
shocking, husking, grinding and
shredding. Crops can be put in
the silo during weather that can
not be used in making hay or
curring fodder, which is an im
portant consideration in some
localities.
A given amount of corn in the
form of silage will produce more
milk than the same amount when
shocked and dried. There is less
waste in feeding fodder. Good
silage properly fed is all consum
ed, an in addition very palatable.
Like other succulent feeds it has
a beneficial efiect upon the di
gestive organs, and some stock
can be kept on a given area of
land when it is the basis of the
ration.
On account of the smaller cost
for labor, silage can be used for
supplementing pastures more
economically than can soiling
crops, unless only a small amount
of supplementary Teed is requir
ed. Converting the corn crop
into silage clears the land soon
er than if the corn crop is shock
ed and husked, and because of
these advantages silage, in the
general opinion of dairy farmers
has increased milk production
per cow and has increased the
profits per acre.

Hard on Pistol Toter.
The first conviction in Lincoln
county under the new concealed
weapons law, was had in the
county court Monday, when
Judge Bailey fined Clarence Rey
nolds $100 and gave him 30 days
in jail for carrying a pistol con
cealed. He is also disfaanchised
for a period of two years, and
cannot vote during that length
of time. Reynolds was arrested
at the picnic at Waynesburg Sat
urday by Sheriff Weatherford
upon complaint that he was
drunk and cursing in the pres
ence of some ladies. When the
officer started after him he fled,
but ran right into Ithe arms-of
Judge Bailey and Jailer DeBorde
and was brought to town and
lodged in jail. He pleaded guil
ty at his trial Monday. There is
another old warrant against this
young manf charging him with
shooting on the. highway, which
the officials say they will enforce
now that they have him.
Eldridge Alford, of the Green
River section, was also convicted
under the new pistol, carrying
act, being fined $50 given ten
days in jail and disfranchised.
Walter Walls was fined $50 and
given 25 days in jail for shooting
at a camp meeting at New Sa

Sensible Sayings.
The best natured man down
town is the man who has woman
folks at home to grumble at.
Most women prefer poverty
with the affection of her husband
to riches without them.
Happiness is a perfume which
one cannot shed over another
without a few drops falling on
ones self.
Kindness will go farther and
bring us more happiness in this
world than all the naughtiness
and asperity we can possibly as
sume. The man who expects to get to
heaven on his wife's church
membership, or the chickens he
fed the preacher, is taking awful
chances.
When - you see a man who
kisses his children in public, you
may be well sure that he keeps
their pantaloons well dusted at
home.
To smile at the jest which
plants a thorn in another's breast
is to become a principal in the
mischief.
Farm Poultry items for July.
The old hens that have render
ed good service, but now con
sume more feed than they pay
for should be turned over to the
markets.
Some men always have bus
iness away back out of sight
when it comes time to clean the
chicken house.
'Nice to have a flutter keg. or
barrel, lined with straw, in
which to drop beheaded chickens,
then you know where to find
them and they will not bruise
themselves.
When hens apparently healthy
are found dead under the roost
where they have fallen at night,
the trouble- is appoplexy, caused
by too much fattening or stim
ulating food.
Treating fowls for lice' will do
little good unless poultry houses
and cpops are clean. The . large
gray louse found upon the head
and neck of the fowls will cause
weakness and symptoms re
sembling cholera.
It is well to include animal
food in the ration for the grow
ing chicks -where large numbers
are grown and the range is. not
large enough for - them to find
worms and bugs sufficient to sat
isfy their needs. Skim-milk-refuse,
meat from the butcher, or
commercial beef scraps, are all
growth stimulants.
Never feed young turkeys or
chickens corn ground with the
cob. If a case of indigestion ap
pears, lessen the food. Watch
the young turks, they . will get
too much cracked corn when you
feed the chicks.
There can be no iron-clad rules
in poultry raising. Our sur
roundings are so different, but
there is one thing we all need,
and most farmers can have, and
that is plenty of range. The
love of range is the first instinct
with turkeys and chickens and
other varieties of poultry will
come nearer perfection in size
and color when they have free
dom. Ducks will do better in small
crowded quarters than any other
fowl we have had experience
with, if they are provided with
proper foodstuffs; but how much!
happier ttfey seem when they
have the run of the farm. Say,
we like to watch them catch bugs
in the fields on a summer even
ing long about dark.
if the hens knew how to tell
their wants they would demand
shade these hot days. Fruit
trees, hollyhocks, sunflowers,
anything that will make shade,
is a great source of comfort to
poultry. They cannot stand full
exposed to the hot sun right
along, with no chance to run to
shade. And if they could talk
what would not our fowls say by
way of thanks for placing their
drinking water in the shade.
Water that stands in the hot sun
a few hours gets very warm as
if it had been hot over a fire,
then it is utterly unfit for chick
ens to drink.
Costs a little less to keep the
flock when males are removed at
the end of the hatching season.
Roosters are not necessary for
the production of eggs, and the
eggs withstand the summer heat
better, are more easily preserved
and more desirable for storage.
One poultry ana egg dealer in
Indianapolis buys from country
people at this season and earlier,
all their male birds, then in the
late fall he sells back to them
other males for the same price
he paid them for their roosters in
the early summer. In this way
the farmer gets new blood and
becomes educated to the fact
that-infertile eggs are the best
for the market in summer. The
bulk of the egs come from the
farm and the buyers demand
better eggs. Fowls will have to
be managed from the commer
cial standpoint.

A Gambler
Prince
By DONALD CHAMBERUN
.This is a true story.
Francois Blanc," said the judge,
"what have you to say why sentence
should not be passed upon you?"
"Nothing."
"I regret that the inadequacy of the
law compels me to let you off with &
nominal punishment. You corrupted
the young men in the telegraph office
to publish false news from the Stock.
Exchange in Paris to enable you ti
make money by buying or selling
shares, an offense which should give
you not less than ten years in prison.
I sentence you to serve seven months
In Jail, being the longest term I car
give you for your crime."
Francois Blanc bowed his head and
was marched away. When his term
of service had passed he came out ot
Jail with $20,000 to his credit in bank
Right under the nose of the judge
who had convicted him he established
a casino in Homburg, which was really
a gambling house. He made money,
but a prejudice against gambling war
growing in Germany, and he feared
the time would come when laws wouIC
be passed that would ruin his business.
M. Blanc looked up rather than
down. He aspired to run his gam
bling business in a country where he
could so influence the laws that none
would be made to interfere with hk
method of enriching himself. So he
looked about him. In Europe there art
a number of small kingdoms, princi
palities, dukedoms, that have been in
dependent so long that none of the
great powers have the hardihood to
absorb them. Blanc found a little prin
cipality containing a few square milei
only that seemed ripe for what he in
tended. What the powers dare not ab
sorb by the bayonet he resolved to ab
sorb by undermining with gold.
The ruler of this principality had
descended from one of the oldest royal
families in Europe, but he had nothing
but his pedigree. He. held a court, it
Is true, but his courtiers were thost
who served without salaries and were
able occasionally to lend the sovereign
money. In order to recoup he sold &
concession in his principality to two
men. who bought it with the intention
of opening a gambling bouse on the
territory conceded. They built a ca
sino and began operations, but the
prince wanted all their profits, and
they became discouraged.
Francois Blanc, learning of this con
cession and the condition of its own
ers, bought it from them and. closing
out bis casino at Homburg. built a
costly one on the new site. laid out
splendid gardens in short, expended
several millions with a view to makinc
his place attractive. Fortunately for
him the time was ripe for such an -investment
For many years Bafirr.
Baden, in Germany, had beer, the
fashionable gambling center of i5n
rope. where every one. from royalty to
commoner, gave way to the passion of
gaming. Baden Baden was now no
longer such a resort, and Blane aimed
to make his concession what Baden
Baden had been.
In this he succeeded. The gambling
mania of Europe was all raao tc pour
gold into Francois Blanc's pocket
Kings and queens, princes and prin
cesses, dukes and duchesses, came auS

every one who had a franc to spenfi
and a franc to risk. The soverrigi
had all the money he wanted to spend,
and his court, if not numerous, were
at least well dressed and were not.
called upon to lend the prince money.
But while he held the empty title of
ruler of the principality Francois
Blanc was the real governor.
The prince died and left his inherit
ance to his son. The new sovereign
proved himself really nothing more
than a silent junior partner In a gam
bling establishment, and there was
nothing for him to do but remain at
he was so he renewed the concession
for a term of fifty years for $r.000.00&
a sum that Francois Blanc could weU
afford to pay since he made it in &
single year He could afford to cV
more than this. He furnished all tL
money necessary to run the goverA
ment. including official salaries.
One storm arose on the gambler sov
ereign's path, but he weathered it
The prince's neighbors, v.ot relishing a.
gambling principality so near them,
endeavored to induce one of the pow
ers on which it bordered to take steps
to prohibit it In addition, the prince's
subjects became dissatisfied at paying
taxes to a prince who had such an
enormous revenue. At Blanc's request
the sovereign abolished all taxes, ana
Blanc paid them.
This was the last bite in the loaf the
gambler devoured. The prince, the
principality and lastly the subjects
passed into his capacious maw. for
when a citizen sells his citizenship th
buyer becomes its owner.
Francois Blanc accumulated a for
tune equal to some of the largest is
