If there is an abundance of corn for filling the silo we rather favor curing the alfalfa and clover and putting the corn' into the alia Legumes make a very good grade of sllag. but in tbe process of fermen ttttlon. owing to their high protein con tent, they develop a very objectionable odor, wblcb la not at all Injurious to the animal.' nor do tbey produce an off flavored milk. Notwithstanding this, It la more satisfactory to use corn In I the silo, curing tbe clover and alfalfa and feeding It dry. Hoard's Dairyman. - Value ef Barnyard Manure.

J Make It One Thai Will Relieve the Tension ef Business. Writing on the advantage and enjoy ment that a busy man will derive from a bobby, Arnold Bennett says iu the Metropolitan: "In choosing a distraction that is to say. In choosing a rival to his business he should1 select some pursuit whose nature differ aa much as possible from the nature of his business, and which will- bring Into activity another side of his character. If bis business is monotonous, demanding core and solicitude rather than .Irregular, In tense efforts of the brain, then let bis distraction be such as will make a powerful call opon bis brain. But if on the other, band tbe course of his business runs In crises that string up the brain to Its tightest strain, then let his distraction be a foolish and merry One. ' '- , ; '. s "Many men fall into the error of as suming that their bobbles must be as dignified and serious aa their , voca tions, though surely the example of the greatest philosophers . oughjt to have taught them better! They seem to Imagine that they should continu ally be Improving themselves in either body or mind. If they take up a sport. It Is because the sport may improve their health. And if the bobby is In tellectual It must needs be employed to Improve their brain. "The fact Is that their conception of self Improvement Is too narrow. In their restricted sense of the phrase they possibly don't need improving, they possibly are already Improved to the point of being a nuisance to their fellow creatures:' possibly what they need Is worsening. In the broad and full sense of the phrase self Improve ment, a course of self worsening might improve them. "I have .known men and everybody has known them who would approach nearer to perfection if tbey could only acquire a little carelessness, ' a little absentmindedness, a little . illoglcal ness, a little. Irrational and Infantile gaiety, a little nnscrupulousness In the matter of the time of day. These con siderations should be weighed before certain bobbles are dismissed as being unworthy of a plain man's notice." PICTURESQUE HAVANA. A Foreign City In Every 8enae, With ; - ' Ita Own Odd Charm. - , -- Americans driving to their hotel through Havana's narrow, noisy streets Invariably exclaim that It seems to them "as If they were abroad." The question to borrow a phrase from the widely traveled but unesiotional Mr. Baedeker "need not detain them long." They are abroad. Havana Is not mere ly "like a foreign town;" It Is a foreign town. . It has Its. own odd look, Its spe cial picturesqueness, its own tumultu ous Ufa It abounds in unknown dishes and strange fruits, and upon the hot tropic night it poani out half barbaric music and queer melancholy Bongs. . Tbe long traditions of the Spanish dominion of the two Americas still cling about Havana'a fortresses and the palaces, churches and monasteries of ber ancient streets. She was proud, rich city, the entrepot of the west, when our northern mainland was a wilderness. And now in the Cnban twentieth century she Is a crowded, thriving, gay metropolis, with Her own pride, her own tropic airs and graces, her own wholly un-American individu ality. ' She may be crowded In the brief winter season , with American tourists, may contain (aa indeed she always has contained) a considerable American business colony and may be a refuge for derelicts and vagabonds straight from the pages of O.

Of course he could not wear this amount of ap parel without appreciably increasing his size, and his friends not in tbe se cret were sometimes surprised to see him fall off in appurent weight twenty pounds In a day.; His wife's great anx iety was to keep him "fit for company," but as. be did not care a fig for com pany she bad no easy task, and domes tic discord was a common thing, The Light That Failed.
