THE QUALITY OF EkSlLAGE.
Conditions as Regards the Filling of Slid
Good Cutter and Steady Power.

Conditions as Regards the Filling of silos.
Good Cutter and Steady Power.
Whether made from fresh cut or wilt
ed fodder corn, the quality of the ensi-
lage will be good if the necessary condi-
lions as regards the building and filling
Of the silo have been observed. Very
watery fodder will give sour ensilage.
The more water in the fodder-that is,
the greener it is cut-the more acid will
be found In the ensilage. The common
practice among ."ensiloers" Of late years
has been to cut the fodder one day and
fill it into the silo the next day or as
soon after as convenient. Many claim
that in this way we handle an unneces-
sary quantity of water in the fodder,
and that the better way is to leave the
corn shocked in the field for week or
ten days before filling the silo, SO as to
allow the excess of water to evaporate.
In connection with the foregoing. Prairie
Farmer says:
We shall probably i'll the future see
this latter method practiced more than
before, since with our present deep silo
there is generally enough pressure in
the silo to secure good ensilage. When
the.weather is good, the corn will not
suffer much, but if the prospects are
there will be much rain it is better to
haul the fodder to the feed cutter right
away and fill it into the silo. But the
essential thing is to have a good cutter
and steady power.
The cutter should be placed close tC
the silo and the carrier adjusted SO as
to drop the cut corn near the middle Of
the silO. The cutter should be power
full one. By trying to economic on a
cutter many farmers lose in few days
enough money to purchase the cutter
they need. The cutter should have a ca
pacity Of three tons per hour at least.
For this two to four horses will be need
ed Oh sweep power. A good two horse
tread is an excellent power, or a gaso-
line engine will be found just the thing.
Have everything about the cutter
snug and tight SO that the cut corn
will not fly all over and be wasted. The
carrier should be made of chain and
Stats, as the pieces Of corn would wet a
rubber belt carrier and cause it to slip.
10 run rapidly ana continuously ana
to do its work we'll, none but the best
machines Will do. By using two or
more wagons for hauling the fodder can
be passed from the wagon directly to
the cutter without unloading on the
ground. Arrange every detail about the
cutter so as to economize all the time
and labor possible, for plenty Of both
may be easily lost if the strictest atten-
ton is not given to details.

OVER THE DAM.
Narrow Escape Of N. H. Sawyer at
Benny Eagle.

Saved from the Icy Jaws of Death just in
Time-Pulled Out Oh the End of Rope,
Mr.. e. G. Carl, of Buxton Center, was
in the city yesterday and reported the
following remarkable experience Of N.
Fl. Sawyer of Bonny Eagle, in which he
had a narrow escape from terrible death.
Tuesday Mr.. Sawyer was at work on
the river just above the dam at the Came
distance above the dam there was clear
water and of course very swift current
The dam is some fifteen feet high, and
the river flowing over 1t makes a fierce
and furious waterfall. Just below the
falls there is space Of open water and
very swift current which flows rapidly
under the ice.
Mr.. Sawyer was at work above the dam
clearing away the ice from the logs. He
slipped and fell into the water and was
carried over the dam.
Very fortunately another man saw the
whole thing. With great presence of
mind he seized coil of rope and rushed
down below the dam. There was only
one place where he could get across to the
open water. He reached that in time
and threw the rope to Mr.. Sawyer as he
was SWEPT past by the swift current. The
distance was short Sawyer seized the
rope and was pulled ashore none the
worse for the experience except for the
wetting and the chill of the icy water.
AS he himself said, il he hadn't been
seen just in time and rescued just SO
promptly he would surely have been
swept under the ice, the edge of which
was, OF course, sharp and thin around
that open space of swift water.
To have seized the ice as he was swept
down upon 1t and drawn himself out of
the swift current would have been we'll
nigh an impossibility, even if a man
hadn't just received the unnerying shock
of being carried over waterfall in the
middle of winter,
