However, it is hoped feat 2000 cases of fee ^product may be put up. (fee hundred arid forty acres of corn were contracted for, but .the heavy rains of the past summer have made about forty acres of this absolutely worth- is. However, fee company is en­ couraging the farmers with the hope that another year will bring better results. In tepeaking with Mr. Mc- Fadden the writer was informed that with the proper encouragement of the farmers in this locality the factory here will be fitted up wife new ma­ chinery during the winter months so that by next season (with favorable weather conditions) the institution will be able to contract and take care of fee biggest corn crop ever put up in tUs village.

Since the organization has been effected in McHenry it has been dis­ covered that this village and the sur­ rounding country has an unusually large number of chicken fanciers. A number of prize winners are al­ ready owned by local people and these, together wife a number of fancy birds which have never been exhibited < before, are bound to make the show a big success. Others are beginning to add new birds to their flock and when show time comes it will be found that, competition for prizes will be quite keen. The association will also hang up fine prizes for rabbits and doves, we are told, while it is also their aim to make the grain department a big feature of the show. { The committee is now oat prepar­ ing the premium list, which they hope to have out at an early date. The list, it is said, will contain all the old as well as many new poultry sfcow features. In fact, the committee hopes to put out a premium list feat will surpass anything ever attempted in the county. The Plaindealer Will keep its read­ ers posted from .time to time on fee progress of fee McHenry organiza­ tion and if you have not already done so we suggest that you become a member of the association. All of the very latest fall crea­ tions in fee millinery world may be found at Mrs. E. W. Howe's New Cemetery Fence Plans for fee new ornamental fence for St. Mary's Catholic cemetery have been drawn and work on the improve­ ment will begin at an early date. The fence, or rather a wall, will be con­ structed of red paving brick and ce­ ment and will cost $300. The wall will, be broken every twenty-one feet by ornamental brick posts wife cement balls on top. The big double gate will be of iron and will swing from massive entrance posts. The trees, which have been such a detriment to the monuments, causing them to turn black, have been removed and wife the addition of the new wall St. Mary's church will have as beautiful a burial ground as may be found anywhere. Stephen H. Freund, Mathias Weber, John Neiss and John Kennebeck com­ prise the cemetery committee, who have been instrumental in fee pro­ posed improvement, and they are to be congratulated on their progres- siveness. The new wall will be com­ pleted some time this fall. R.K.JL CONVENTION HERE OVER TWO HUNDRED VISITORS EXPECTED NEXT TUESDAY purchaser has backed out and fee sale of the farm has been called off. A cash settlement was reached be­ tween fee buyer and purchaser and Mr. Harrison is none fee poorer even tho ^fee sale did fall thru. Mr. Har­ rison informs us that he has rented the place to the Pomrening boys and that ly and his family will take up their home at Crystal Lake just as soon as fee renters move onto the farm. He" expects to conduct an auction sale some time next month. Rains Minnows Wm. Bacon, the McHenry well driller, is responsible for fee story that it rained minnows near Waucon- da during the rain storms of last wefek. Mr. Bacon was at work near Wauconda and while on his way to work came across a spot where the grass and road bed were literally covered wife small minnows. No one seems to know how they got there and fee general opinion seems to be feat it must have rained min­ nows at that point. Two of Geo. Meyers' teamsters, who passed the spot, are willing to verify Mr. Bacon's story. TOe Lonesome Eight The Lonesome Eight held their tfirst meeting of the season at the home df Mrs. E. F. Matthews on Mon­ day afternoon of this week, the occa­ sion also being the birthday anniver­ sary of the hostess.

Since our last week's issue, in which we mentioned the possibil­ ity of organizing a band in McHerny, a number of fee old time band men as well as the younger musicians have spoken very favorably of the look as if the old town will be given another band, which it has not had in years. Everyone interested is urgently requested to attend the meeting and a special invitation is extended to the old band men to be present. McHenry Defeats Prairie Boys A team styling themselves the Mc­ Henry Feds hooked up with the Irish prairie boys at the McHenry baseball park last Sunday afternoon, the for­ mer team winning the game 6 to 4, after a most interesting session. Joe Michels, who covered third for the Feds, played s splendid game and al­ so hit the ball with marked regular­ ity. If he can put up such a game with faster company he would have little trouble in making the McHenry Sox. Geier and Smith composed the battery for the home team, while "Kelly" Conway and Knox did the artillery work for the visitors. A few faiis were on hand to watch the sport.

Baseball Dance The first of fee winter series of basebflU dances, to be given for the benefit of the McHenry Baseball club, will take place at Stoffel's hall on Thanksgiving day night. The an­ nouncement is made at this time so as to hold fee date. mmmM A SILO THE BEST INSURANCE Very Important In Economic Prodne* tion of Milk--Necessary ttl̂ a Bgrn The present condition of fee corn crop indicates feat there will be con­ siderable corn that will be unable to ripen before the killing frosts come. This corn if put into the silo before being injured by the frost or imme­ diately afterwards will all be saved and will make a good grade of feed. Already more silos have been erect­ ed in the county than for several years past, which indicates feat the silo is growing in favor with ths McHenry county dairymen and feat they consider it a good way to insure against loss by early frosts that may injure the corn crop before it is ripe, as it can then immediately be put in­ to the silo without much loss, j ; The practicaily universal adoption; of silage as a feed for all kinds of livestock and fee many satisfied users everywhere, who speak highly of it as one of the most economical feeds they can use and that they would never attempt to get along without it, is conclusive evidence feat there are no harmful effects from its use, feat it is one of the cheapest and best feeds that can be used and that its healthful effects are equalled by no other feeds except alfalfa. When fed wife alfalfa fee two make the best combination of feeds feat can possibly be gotten together and the aim of every livestock farmer should be to have plenty of alfalfa and silage to feed thruout fee year. In fact, very little profit will be made from milk this winter by these dairymen who do not have plenty of alfalfa hay and silage to feed to their dairy cows. The high prices asked • for concen­ trated feeds, such as bran, malt, glu­ ten feed and ready mixed feeds, does not justify their use, especially for the low price received for milk. Those dairymen who have plenty of silage, alfalfa and clover hay should plan to get along without fee use of any concentrated feeds, unless it be cot­ tonseed meal. Those who do not have fee silo will be severely handicapped and those who do not have either the silo or cloyer and alfalfa will be certain to make milk at a loss. Corn fur­ nishes a large amount of feed to the acre and with the silo the whole crop can be utilized for feeding purposes, the grain as well as the stalks be­ ing preserved in fee 'best possible condition for feeding and without extra cost of grinding. Silage makes possible more uni­ form feeding thruout fee year and it may be available at any time, as it can be kept in perfect condition for miny years. The silo is a paying proposition, even if every cent must be borrowed in order to pay for it. It will make the same amount of feed go enough farther and produce results enough better to more than pay iqr itself fee first year, which makes it of such great value to fee livestock farmer that fee longer he puts off buying one fee greater his losses will be. Corn should be well advanced in the denting stage before it is put in­ to the silo, although if badly frozen it should be put in immediately. If put in when green and while the corn is in the milk stage it will produce a much sourer silage and be less satisfactory as a feed. Plan now to put up a silo without delay, if you do not already have one. Do not be in the minority any longer, as you have been trying too long to prove that the silo is unnec­ essary and that the old l^ay of ground corn and dried corn stalks is still the best. Select Seed Corn Now If you have any of last year's corn left select as soon as possible enough good seed for next year's supply, as the present condition of this year's corn indicates that there will be very little real solid corn fit for seed. Last year's corn was well matured before frost came and on account of being well dried stood the winter in good shape and will be safe to use for seed in 1916. This year's corn can be picked as soon as dented and should be hung up to dry where there is good ventilation and out of fee sun, and where it can­ not freeze.' As soon as dry store it away in a geod place for the winter, where it will not be subjected to freezing weather and where it will remain perfectly dry. It will then be in godd shape for* use in fee spring. Delos L. James, ̂ . County Agent U. S. Dept. AgrL Dance at Stoffel's Hall The Fox River Valley Camp, No. 3261, R. N.
