The ShekeI of Bible Times.

A coin collector who owns one of the
shekels of Scriptural times may well
be proud of his acquisition. These
coins of the time of Christ weigh about
as much as four of our dimes and were
struck by order of Simon Macabaus
about 40 B. c. 1t was the sacred
money of the Jews, and each Jew &c
years old was required to pay shekel
as tribute to the sanctuary. Thus all
Jews of age sent one of these coins to
the temple each year. The design on
the face represents a large goblet, to-
gether with the inscription in hero
glyphics, "Shekel of Israel" On the
reverse are plant that looks like q
sprig of Canada thistle and the inscrip-
ton Jerusalem the Holy" The goblet
is supposed to represent the sacred pot
of mama, and the branch may be sym
bolic of the rod of Aaron.

CORN ENSlLAGE.
Cutting the Crop, Rapid Filling,
Covering the silo, Etc.

Cutting the Crop, RAPID Filling,
Covering the silo. Etc.
When corn is used, the entire plant,
including the ear, should be placed in
the silo
The practice of cutting the crop by
hand is general, although 1t may be
done by horse power. Harvesting ma
chimes of various patterns are made.
Self binders have been recommended,
using them to cut one row of corn at
time. the most common form of
harvester is a sled or drag of V form,
with knives fastened to the edges or
wings. This is drawn by one horse be-
tween two rows, the knives cutting the
stalks near the ground. When not in
use, the wings may be FOLDED up over
the center of the machine. One or two
meu ride on or walk beside the ma
chine and gather the stalks into arm
fuls as cut and place on the ground or
On a wagon. as convenient.
Numerous forms of wagons are used
for carrying the crop from the field
but it is advisable if possible to use a
low wagon, so as to save as much lift
Ing as possible. Wagons of this char.
acter are sold in the market or one
can have special small wheels. with
tires four or SIX inches wide, made for
putting on a common farm wagon.
At one time Ii was considered ad.
yisable to allow the corn to wilt in
the field before putting in the silo. it
being thought to keep better. This
practice is no longer considered i'm
portant, and many silos are now filled
most successfully as fast as the crop
can be drawn from the field and cut.
Rapidly of filing is unimportant
SO long as fresh fodder is placed in
the silo before mold Is formed at the
surface.
Corn may be placed In the silo uncut,
but this practice is Objectionable. The
stalks will not pack as closely as the
cut fodder, and 1t is not so convenient
to handle or economical for feeding
purposes. The fodder cutter should
be placed so as to deliver the cut ma.
terial as near the center of the silo
as possible SO that the material can be
placed where wanted. The shorter the
fodder is cut the more satisfactory
1t is for feeding. One-half inch is a
very common length.
1t Is desirable to have careful per-
son inside the silo to distribute the
fodder and trample well at the corners
and along the sides, thus having the
contents evenly and thoroughly pack
ed during filling. The silo should be
filled above the top edge, as the silo
will settle considerably below 1t dur
ing the process Of fermentation or
heating. Temporary boards may be
placed above the edge for a few days,
or fresh silage may be added to fill up
the settled spnce.
When the process of ensilaging was
first introduced in America. 1t was
customary to place a close layer of
boards on the surface of the silage,
over which was placed a heavy WEIGHT.

Cutting Glass with Shears.

Unless you have tried the experiment
you will be inclined to question the
statement that pane of ordinary win.
dow glass can be cut with a pair of
shears if the glass is put under water
during the process. 1t is a fact that
the glass may be cut as easily as you
would cut piece of heavy cardboard
To do this successfully you must have
the glass and the shears entirely under
water, then clip in a curved or straight
line as you prefer. So long as no por-
ton of the glass or shears is out Of the
water the cutting will proceed without
n break. This Is because the water
takes up the vibrations of the glass
and the shears. Try the experiment
aud convince yourself.

Among New York Fruit Growers.
In notes upon a recent trip through
the fruit growing sections of Monroe,

but very few orchards during the trip
that were In sod. Cultivation has GER

| full fruit growers. Crimson clover does
well here and is used to some extent
as a cover crop in the orchards. The
seed is sown usually In the early part
of August. when the last cultivation
for the season is given. Spraying has
also come to be regular practice with
progressive fruit growers. Spraying
outfits were to be seen at work in the
orchards on every hand, and nearly ev-
cry team that we met wore decorated
harness. The tendency in spraying is
toward more powerful pumps and bet
ter agitators. The effectiveness of an
application of spraying mixture de-
ponds In no small degree on the fine

When soiIing Pays.

Nearly every dairyman has expe-
rlenced the shrinkage that comes in
midsummer, when the pastures dry
up and grass is scarce, 1t is at this
time that soiling will pay and pay
literally. In what better way can a
person realize from $23 to SO per
acre for his green corn or green alfal-
ia? When the cows look over the fence
with longing eyes at the corn. the eff
forts usually spent in keeping the cows
out of the corn had better be spent in
throwing the corn over to the cows.
says d. II. Otis of Kansas.
The Somerset reporter., 1900-08-30

The idea was TO press the Stage as
heavily as possible and exclude the air.
The weighing process was found to be
unnecessary. however, and this has
been generally dispensed with. After
filling some persons begin feeding out
from the top at once, thus preventing
all waste at that point. Others place
cut chaff or straw on the silage to a
depth, when settled, of six inches to
one foot. This prevents the decay of
the silage. Perhaps the most salts
factory method Is to place a layer of
tarred paper smoothly over the surface
of the silage and then cover this to a
depth of foot or SO with cut straw.
When the corn Is cut in very dry
season and is not ordinarily juicy. 1t
will be advisable to pour considerable
water on the silage after the silo Is
filled, especially when the contents are
at high temperature.-C. S. Plumb.

Alfalfa Everywhere.

plants of the south. 1t is the best hay

to become a rival of the better known
