HUMOROUS 
A luifi harangued a motley crew 
Of other bugs and ants, 
And candidly advised them to 
Beware of potted plants. 
— Philadelphia Bulletin. 
Master (to new applicant) : “Are you 
sober?” Man: “Yessir—often.”—Tatler. 
“Do you ever contribute to the cam¬ 
paign fund?” “Indeed, yes. I have a life 
insurance policy.”—August Lippincott’s. 
“Why, do you suppose, people look on 
blondes generally as frivolous?” “I don’t 
knew unless it is because they are natural¬ 
ly light-headed.”—Baltimore American. 
Upson: “Do you get that ‘run-down 
feelin’ every Spring?” Downs: “Every 
Spring! Why. I’ve been hit by an auto 
once a week for the last two months!”— 
Detroit Free Press. 
“What was the most interesting ruin 
that you saw abroad?” “Well,” answered 
Mr. Cutnrox, “the ruin that most inter¬ 
ested me was a year’s income, totally de¬ 
molished.”—Washington Star. 
“Which side do you wish your hair 
combed on ?” asked the barber, who ap¬ 
peared to be trying to make a hole in the 
customer’s head with bis comb. “On the 
outside, please.”—Yonkers Statesman. 
Mrs. Talkalot: “Mrs. Highflyer says 
her house is full of antiques.” Mrs. Bad- 
break : “I knowed it was full o’ some¬ 
thin’. I seen ’em sprinklin’ insect powder 
around the other day.”—Philadelphia 
Record. 
“With all your wealth, are you not 
afraid of the proletariat?” asked the del- 
ver in sociological problems. “No, I 
ain’t,” snapped Mr. Newrich. “We boil 
all our drinkin’ water.”—Philadelphia 
Record. 
“When is the best time to sow barley?” 
was a question put at the periodical ex¬ 
amination held in an agricultural college. 
“Three days before a gentle rain, sir!” 
a sharp youth promptly replied.—The 
Australasian. 
“Dm you deliver my message, Rosa¬ 
lie?” “Yes, madame, I told Mme. Du¬ 
rand that you were ill, and that as soon 
as you had recovered you would call on 
her, and she said she was very sorry to 
hear it.”—Le Rire. 
“A pleasant disposition goes a long 
ways,” said Uncle Eben. “I sympathizes 
wif de Indian, but I don’t believe he’d 
have had near as much hard luck if he’d 
er been good-natured an’ learned to play 
de banjo.”—Washington Star. 
“Just from Ireland, are you?” asked 
Mrs. Houskeep of the applicant, “and 
were you trained across the water?” 
“Shure, ye must know betther nor that, 
ma’am,” replied the girl. “I was shipped 
across.”—Philadelphia Ledger. 
“Things arc not as they used to be,” 
said the man of melancholy reminis¬ 
cences. “No,” answered Mr. Dustin Stax 
regretfully. “The time was when great 
wealth would get a man out of trouble. 
Now it gets him into it.”—Washington 
Star. 
Susie had tried the teacher’s patience 
sorely, and when the latter looked up and 
saw the little girl chewing gum, with her 
feet sprawling into the aisle, she said. 
“Susie Jones, take that gum out of your 
mouth and put your feet in!”—August 
Lippincott’s.

How About YOUR Ensilage? 
"OHIO” Ensilage Cutters cut two ways—cut and elevate the corn into 
silo at an amazing speed; and cut off huge slices from your ensilage expenses. 
How does it "cut” expenses? By its immense capacity, its self feed 
mechanism, its power-saving direct draft blower, its simply operated 
silage distributor, its minimum use of power for maximum results. 
Silage as a milk and beef producer is 
far superior to grain. Our book “Mod-1 
ern Silage Methods” (10c) tells all about it.'
