o FOR THE SILO.
When the Ears Are Just Thinking
About Glazing Then Is the Proper
Time ia Cut Them,

My time for cutting the corn for the
silo is as near as may be when the
ears are just thinking about glazing.
When it is too old for me to eat, it is
old enough for my silo. I do not in.
tend to run counter to the scientific
fellows by saying | am not robbing my
silage of dry properties it might have
acquired if l had not interfered, but
| have imprisoned for my cows the
sweet juices and flavors so much rel.
ished in the managers. writes a Penn.
sylvanian to the National Stockman.
If the corn lacks moisture in the lat
ter part of its season, the lower blades
will dry and drop before the harden.
ing process is operative at the ears.
Then that corr should be cut, for
what it may gain in dry matter above
it is losing in dry matter below. If
n has a small silo and a few acres,
and the filling is a small matter of two
or three days, then he can bide his
time and cut when everything appears
to be just right. We have 16 acres
growing for the silos, and as we like
to fill slowly, our cutting will extend
over a period of possibly three weeks,
By filling slowly we consider we get
about 20 per cent. more in our silos
than by simply filing them and pass
ing on. Silage does not begin to do its
business settling for about a week,
and it is III rule to cut quite rapidly
for two or three days, then proceed
more slowly by stopping a day and cut
ting a day alternately. We use low
wagons and a corn harvester some-
times, but when an acre turns off 20
tons or more the harvester we have
doesn't succeed in getting it in very
far. We have a man in the silo and in
struct him to keep the outsides some
what higher than the center. This
man is supposed, as Bob Seeds would
say, to keep a-goin', keep a-goin'."

YARNS THAT ARE YARNS.
Some Told by Sailors That Place a
Severe Strain Upon the Aver
age Mans Credulity.

Landsmen are queer folk, in the
opinion of the Jolly, jolly mariner"
They won't believe a sailor when he
tells the truth about the queer things
he has seen, but when he draws upon
his imagination they sometimes be-
iieve everything he says. At least this
has been the experience of one vet
eran skipper, says the New York
Times.
ut reminds me of the story of Jack
and his old Scotch mother that used
to be told when I was at sea-" he said,
the other day, discussing this per-
verseness on the part of the landlub-
ber." "Jack had just returned from a
cruise around the world, and at the
supper table was telling about his ex-
periences. He told about the flying
fish, and his mother gently rebuked
him for trying to deceive her. He
spoke OF whales and porpoises, and the
old lady shook her head and said that,
as fer her, she didn't believe a word
of it.
$50 it went on until Jack, in a spirit
of mischief, told her that when the
ship was in the Red sea they had pulled
up anchor and had found tangled in
the iukes some of the chariot wheels
of Pharaoh and his army.
"'Oh,' said the old lady, certainly I
believe that, for it's in the Bible
Capt. Kelley, the noted whaler,
once told me of a similar experience.
He was retailing some of his adven-
lures to a group of store loafers, when
a tall, thin fellow rose from his crack
err barrel and asked: Say, Mr.. Kelley,
tell us how big is a whale, anyhow.
"The captain tried to give him some
idea, and a murmur of %incredulity
went around the circle.
"tHow big is a whales mouth?"
asked another.
"'The jaw is IA or Is feet long re-
piled Kelley.
There was a general unbelieving
laugh.
"'How much lie can you get from
one" was next asked.
"A good whale will make about 24O
barrels
"They didn't believe it. They
weren't to be fooled that way simply
because they were countrymen.
THE captain finally grew reckless.
WELL he said, 'IIl tell you of a little
experience | nee had off the coast of
Peru. We'd sighted near the shore a
big whale with a calf by her side. The
boat put in after her, and I was in
charge of the harpoon at the bow.

The Gray African Goose.

Gray African geese are, by many
r~aisers, considered the most profit
able of all geese to keep. They grow
the heaviest in the shortest space Of
time, and are ready for market in ten
weeks, weighing at that age between
eight and ten pounds. They are very
much like the Pekin duck in this re.
spect, and, compared with other
geese, give the most satisfactory re.
turns for the labor and time spent in
growing them.-Bulletin Cd, United

Brother-i in. Law MilIiken Will Pay Expenses Of
Defending Patrick.

st. Louis, Jan. 22.-John T. Milliken.
the wealthy chemist, mine owner and
capitalist of this city, who is a brother
in-law Of Albert Il. Patrick, the lawyer
who is now on trial in New York on the
charge of having murdered Millionaire
VIM. Marsh Rice. made a statement to
The Associated Press, today, in regard
to the report that he was offered a
brihe to have Patrick compromise the
will of 1900. He said:
"A short time before the trial of Mr..
Patrick began. | was called to New
York and was offered $4,000 by certain
attorneys to have Patrick compromise
the will of 1900. He declined to acceut
any offer that would not eXonerate Mr..
Patrick of the charge of murder and
stop the prosecution. A reply of such
character was made to our refusal that
led me to believe we could get $3.50, 900
If we would compromise. We again
declined, as no one was in position to
deliver what we wanted and the nego-
tiations ended"
Mr.. Milliken declares his belief in
PatriCk'S innocence and said he would
defray the cost of his defence.

Catarrh usually starts with a cold in
the head and If left unchecked in this
climate. rarely gets well of itself.
AS fresh cold is taken the disease
spreads. getting deeper and deeper,
creeping along the mucous membranes
from nose to throat. froms throat to
windpipe. from windpipe to bronchial
tubes and from bronchial tubes to lung
cells.
The mucous membranes all connect.
one with another Hence it is easy to
spread from one part to another lined
with this same membrane. This is
why catarrh in the head soon affects
the throat and finally the stomach it
self. bringing on chronic catarrh of the
stomach. which is a most obstinate
form of dyspepsia.
Everybody is now we'll agreed that
catarrh is a blood disease and not a
local one. and the attempt to cure by
local application simply gives tenn
porary relief from the purely local
symptoms without the remotest effect
in staying the progress of the disease.
There is a now preparation recently
offered to the public that is apparently
destined to do away with every other
form of catarrh treatment.
This new remedy is not a secret pa
tent medicine but is large. pleasant
tasting tablet composed of Bloodroot.
Red gum from the Eucalyptus tree, and
other valuable and harmless specifics,
which are taken internally and seem
tn have a remarkably beneficial effect
upon the blood and mucous mem
branes. apparently eliminating the ca
tarrhal poison from the whole system.
These tablets. while being pleasant,
convenient and absolutely safe to use
have made cures in long standing cases
of catarrh that are little short of mar
velous. They are sold by druggists
Inder name of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's. and any catarrh sufferer who has
tried inhalers, lotions, ointments
salves. etc. and realized their incOn-
yenience and uselessness will fully APP
preciate the difference between a mere
palliative and a permanent cure after
giving Stuart's Catarrh Tablets an i'm
partial trial.
All druggists sell them at so cents for
| full sized package and no matter where
the catarrh is located, in the head
throat. lungs or stomach, Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets will surprise you with
the effective result of even a few days
use. 21-2S-25
