MILTON RELICS AT HARVARD
Signature In an Autograph Album
and the Poets Copy of "Pindar."

Signature In Autograph Album
and the Poets Copy of "Pindar."
The Harvard library numbers among
it's treasures an autograph of Milton
and a copy of "Pindar' annotated in
Millions own handwriting, with mar
ginal notes in Greek and Latin. Both
of these rarities were beQueathed to
the university by Charles Sumner.
The ''Pindar" is dated 1920 and was
doubtless used by Milton during his
stay at Cambridge university. At the
end he has added an alphabetical index
in manuscript, occupying two closely
written pages of all the authors cited
in his notes, with references to the
pages in which their names occur.
Millions autograph is found in the
pages of an autograph album or visit
Ors' book kept, according to a custom
common in the sixteenth century, by
Neapolitan nobleman, CamilluS Car
doyn by name, who resided in Geneva
from 1908 to 1910, where Milton, ap-
parently, visited him. Another auto
graph in this same album among the
hundreds which it contains is that Of
Thomas Wentworth, the unfortunate
Earl of Stafford. Millions signature is
dated Jan. 10, 1859, and is appended
to Latin motto-"Travel changes ones
sky, but not ones mind" it may be
freely rendered and a quotation from
his own "Comus:"
eff Vertue feeble were,
Heaven itselfe would stoope to her."
The most notable Milton manuscript
known to exist is a little book now
owned by Trinity college, Cambridge,
England, which contains the poets
copies of his so called minor poems, in
Guiding "L'Allegro" and "Il Pensero-
So" In this country, however, it is
said that the only original memorials
Of the great author of paradise Lost"
are to be found in these two time stain
ed volumes in the possession of the
Harvard library.

Cornstalks should be cut into about
inch lengths. The finer the cut the
more compact the silage, says Breed
ers Gazette. AS the silo fills with the
fresh cut corn, ears and all, the mate
rial should be spread evenly and care
fully tramped next the walls. One may
fill the silo in three or four days or
be two or three weeks conducting
the operation. The slower it is filled
the more material can be got into it.
A practical silo should not be less than
Is feet in diameter and should be from
"a to 30 feet deep. AS silo filling nears
completion let the material settle and
add more SO as to have it we'll filled.
The covering may consist of the cut
corn forage material itself, or of nu-
merous other substances about the
farm. Marsh. grass, weeds or other
waste green material can be run
through the feed cutter and placed one
CIR two feet deep on top of the silage
mass. Chaffed straw or oat chaff is
also excellent. These materials should
be thoroughly wet so as to render
them heavy and cause them to pack
we'll.
Si1O and EnsiIage.
People are fast learning that good
ensilage can only be secured in a first
class silo and that silo made of poor
material or from lumber that warps Or
twists will always prove disappointing
to it's owner, says a writer in National
Stockman. This is illustrated by the
method Of canning fruit. If the can is
sealed alright, the fruit can be pre-
served all through the winter. But if
the rubber packing is poor or the top
is not screwed on tight, admitting the
air, the contents work and are spoil
ed. The same thing holds true with a
SilO. Unless the walls are imperviOuS
to both air and moisture one must not
expect to keep his ensilage sweet. The
cheap structures made Of old fence
boards should not be called siloS. Yes
sells Of this kind have also led many
men to reject silage and probably ac-
counts for the unjust and sweeping
condemnation Of it by milk condensa-
ries. There has never been food upon
which all kinds Of stock thrive so well
and which gives such large returns as
Indian corn, cut and preserved in a
silo in the form of ensilage. AS Pro
fessor Henry says, "Cheap silos are a
delusion and a snare, while good ones
enable Indian corn to yield it's greatest
benefactions to man,
Feeding Ensilage.
Onescan begin to feed silage from the
top of the silo as soon as cutting
ceases, or the material may be left I'M
til needed in winter time, says Breed
ers Gazette. The silo should be ar
ranged to have such diameter that
from an inch and q half to two inches
of silage will be fed off the top each
day. If less than this amount is fed
off, trouble may arise from the ex-
posed silage starting to heat and mold.
If SO much as an inch and a half or
two inches is fed off daily, then the
silage material at the surface is always
fresh and in good condition. !.
