Twenty crops cut at different stages o! maturity and under different conditions have ty been successfully ensiled in experi- mental silos. Over two hundred tests )f have been made. O! the crops tested, corn is wlthout doubt the best for ,d ensfling. Sunflowers are recom- mended on heavy dlay souls and in -y ccol climates where corn does not do weli. Mixtures o! aats and peas, ai oats, peas and vetches make very good silage. *Red claver Ls an excell- .e ent silage crop but ai! ai!a is rather n difficult to ensile and should be used 1 for hay where possible.

Ld A I4EALTN SERVICE O0, Dn THlE CANADIAPU MEOICAL ds ASSOCIArio@w %ND LIPEt &N SURANCE COMPANlg& n. id OPTIWMM Ln ih Aniong the many letters reveived es by the Health Service, one cornes, ýd f rom tise to tise, from a corres- Id pondent whose nterest is nt in 3e dsease or in ordinary health, but in doptimum health. Such a person t-does not live in fear o! disease, nor la i he satisfied wlth ordinary heaith. -h What he seeka Is the best. is There are undoubtedly many Sgrades of health. The proof of this is found when an attempt is made nto define illness. We would ail agree [_ that the person who Is confined ta -bed by sasse physical or mental dis- rability is LU, but we would not agree d that aIl who are "1up and about", or *even at work, are free from Uliness. d It is surprlslng how many persons, swomen in particular, drag themnsel- ves through years of life, neyer ili in bed but neyer really well. They ehave corne to accept this 10w stand- ýard of physical health as the best ythey can expect, and they wbuld cali themnselves healthy, meaning there- by that they are flot sick in bed. Look around a class-room o! children and there you will find many degrees of health. Take the 7child with brlght eyes and rosy -dhseks, whose body is fii1n, and -w hase skin is smooth and iust ;molst. No one needs ta tell yau that r such a chlld enjoys a larger meas- ure a! health than does the quiet i pale child whose eyes are duil and whose skan is dry. Such differences continue throughout lie. It is not the du!f- erence between health and disease ta which we refer, but ta the var- iation in degrees of! health, from the lowest ta the hlghest. When we enter this worid, we have a certain endowment. What becomes o! us depends very largely upon the use we mnake a! our phys- icai and mental equipment. We cannot ail attain the same degree o f heaith. but for each o! us there is an optimum degree which can be reached if we pay reasonable at- tention ta hygenic living. IIs optimum heaith worth the ef- fort? If you are satlsfied and con- tnt wlth second-best. then it would not seem so. But if! you want ta get the moat out of life while glv- lng the most ta life, then the ef fort you make is weil repald. Un! art- unateiy, there Is a time-lirnit on this offer. You cannot walt until the endowssent is dlsslpated through carelessness and neglect, and then expect ta dlaim ItL You are not' asked to make yoursel.f a slave ta a diet, or to exercise, or ta any one thing. You are taid ta be reason- able, ta use your Intelligence which presussably differentiates you fromn the lower animais, ta pay ordinary attention ta the dernands af your mInd and body, so that they may have a real chance ta develop and function harmonlously at the helght of their capacity, whlch Is optimum health.

Tickets and complete Information from any agent. CANADIAN PACIFIC Invitations COUNT Many a non-advertising retailer keeps back from advertising just be- cause hie feels that it is necessary to advertise in a big way andl because hie is not ready to advertise in a big way. To- keep back fromn our newspaper until you are ready to use big space is just as foolish as would be keeping a child out of sehool until it had the ability to pass its matriculation exam- ination. Beginners in every foxim of enterprise need to go warily; until ex- perience and practice and growing ability warrant them to attempt larger things, they should piioceed cautiously. It will pay some retailers to use classified advertisements and small spaces of 2 and 3 inches. These littie advertisements will surely get seen -and read by newspaper readers. Make small advertisements offer special mer- chandise. Change them feequently. A quick successioný of littie advertise- ments, everyon*e of which is alive, will of a certainty effeet sale,---will attract new customers. The thing to be fright- ened of is dumbness: a retail store which does not talk to the public by means of newspaper advertisements misses a lot of business. The public goes where it is invited to go.
