SNAKE IN HER STOMACH
One of the gruesome stores cir-
culated in St Joseph about Bean
Lake is that a beautiful young
girl has a live water moccasin in
her stomach It is said that she
is at the Mayo's hospital under
observation and treatment The
story was first told by a St
Joseph physician who gave all
the details and he said it was his
belief that the girl swallowed a
tiny baby snake swimming in
Bean Lake It is said that she
spent most of this summer at the
lake and she is an expert swim-
mer and a graceful dancer The
girl who is said to be exception-
ally beautiful was to be married
this month but several weeks
ago she began to lose fleshy al-
' though she had a ravenous appe-
tite She went down hill so
rapidly that physicians were
called in and as they were unable
to diagnose the case she was
sent to the Mayos There a
powerful X-ray revealed ' the
snake in her stomach It is said
to be more than two feet in leng-
th The snake is coiled in her
stomach with its head resting at
the lower end of the esophogus
the gullet that connects the
larynx and stomach where 'It
swallowed most of the food as
fast as it was eaten
' The St Joseph doctor says the
snake is being starved and slowly
poisoned but that the Mayo’s are
wearied lest it attempt to crawl
up the girl's throat If it did
they are afraid the young' girl
would die of hoi ror and of fright!
if the snake dies it will be re-
moved by an abdominal opera

The young girl doesn’t know
as to the cause of her trouble and
one reason the story hasn’t been
given to the press according to
the St Joseph doctor is because
the parents are afraid she might
learn of it and because they say
she would be marked the rest of
her life The young man engag-
ed to her has been told the truth
and he has gallantly declared
that it does not make the slight-
est difference to him He says
he prefers to marry her on her
sick bed before the operation to
prove his love and devotion
Some of her friends have won-
dered why the operation is delay-
ed but the surgeons are fearful
that if an operation is perform-
ed before the serpent has been
killed or stupified that it might
bite thru the walls of her stom-
ach The St Joseph doctor who
is responsible for the story de-
clares that the Mayos say that
it is the most unusual case that
has ever come under their obser-
ration— -Grant County Vidette

ARGUMENT FOR
SILO FILLING
' If there ever was a time when
a small silo should "Come in
Good Play” it seems to me that
it is this Fall when feed stuff
can be put up however green or
wet with no danger of rotting
Am I right or wrong?
For feed that will so increase
the milk flow and keep stock in
good condition it is ’mighty’
hard 'to beat silage when filling
expenses can be kept down in a
silo of limited t ize
All over the country there can
be found great landmarks of cost-
liness that are never filled chiefly
because of the great expense of
filling these great storage tanks
of such height and size Silo
selling concerns are to be blamed
for this Years ago when stock-
men began to appreciate the
value of silage these concerns
got in their good work and did
the damage Some have blown
down and it has not always been
safe to mention this subject
But ask anyone who has small
silos preferably pit with size in
neighborhood of ten by twenty
and see if they are not highly
prized If one is too small an-
other hole of same size is better
than one too large'
A pit silo costs little is easy to
fill wiU not blow down nor freeze
up Following is argument for
silage
In principle the silo is no more
nor less than the fruit can or
kraut barrel on a large scale
The advantages of silage over
dry feed is comparable to the
difference between canned ripe
peaches or pears and the dried
fruit The silo preserves the
flavor and succulence which are
valuable as well as the feeding
value of the feed siloed
One cubic foot of silage per day
and a little straw will keep matue
cattle in good condition with
alfalfa hay it will fatten them
A cubic foot of silage weighs
between 30 and 40 pounds and
it requires nearly five times as
much space to store the same
weight of hay Silage increases
the milk flow and makes the
young stock grow
A considerable part of fodder
is wasted There is practically
no wasts to silage It is feed in-
surance for it can be easily tend-
ed and kzpt for years
