Recognition Ior co1ored men in
| public life in the South is still the
question Of the hour. President Roose-
welt has defined his position when it
comes to character, merit and fitness
for Office. North Carolina is not only
| attracting attention from utterances
! of Senator Pritchard, but also from
the fact that the question Of reap
| pointing a colored man as Postmaster
at Wilson, N. c. is under discussion.
Mr.. Wick, the present Postmaster,
represents the highest type of the
educated Southern Negro. Like DR..
BookersT. Washington he has lived
with and among the white people of
the South and has always had and
retains their respect and confidence.
The white newspapers of North Caro-
lima, democratic as we'll as republican.
have been loud in their praise of his
management of the Postoffice. The
reappointment of Mr.. Wick as Post
master, at Wilson, by the Postmaster
General, will be a reinsurance to- the
colored people not only of North Car
olina but of the entire South, that the
Presidents policy as outlined by him
few days ago, will be carried out
in full in letter and in spirit.
Mr.. Samuel H. Wick, M. V. P, was
born in Nash county in 1868. Imme-
diately after the civil war his parents
moved to Wilson, n. G. He studied
in the common schools of that town
under DR.. ]. c. Price. He entered
Lincoln University in 1889 and grad
uated from that college with the de-
gree of A B.. in 1884 Upon his return
home he was elected a teacher in the
graded school. After one years SER
vice in that capacity ne was elected
to the principaIShip Of the graded
school and remained its principal four
years. During these four years he

land. Most of these have now gradu-

honor and trust.
In the fall of 1889 he was appointed
by President Harrison to the position
Of postmaster of Wilson. He held this
position until 1894, when his sue
cessor, was appointed by President
Cleveland. In April of 1894 the Pres
bytery of Cape Fear elected him the
Sabbath School missionary for the
Presbytery. He labored zealously IN
that cause organizing Sabbath Schools
and teaching his people higher ideas

by the Governor of North Carolina

Why The Audience Laughed

At public entertainment recently
a conjurer had an experience which
was highly comical, though quite dis
astrous from professional point of
view.
Having produced an egg from pre-
viously empty bag, he announced that
be would follow up this trick by bring
ing from the bag the hen that laid the
egg.
This little arrangement be had left
to his confederate to carry out.
He proceeded to draw the bird from
the bag, but what was his surprise on
finding that the alleged hen was an old
rooster, which strutted about the stage
with ruffied feathers and offended
dignity, and set up as vigorous crow
ing as if it had just awakened from Its
nocturnal slumbers.
The whole audience shrieked with
laughter and the unfortunate cOnJurel
made bolt for the dressing room.

decay of the hay wasprevented so that
it made fair fodder.
Now we find in Bulletin No. 72 of the
Oregon experimeAt station (Corvallis)
an interesting account of steaming
silage. The silos, made purposely for
the experiment, were constructed of
well seasoned yellow fir dressed
tongue and groove lumber 15s inch
thick, 31s inches wide and IL feet long.
When completed the silos measured
approximately five feet in diameter
and 12 feet deep. They were con-
structed plain, having no doors, so that
the only way of filling and emptying
them was by way of the top of the silo.
Five such silos were constructed; two
of them, Nos. / and S, were fitted with
1A-inch piping so that they could be
steamed after being filled.
The picture clearly shows how the
steam pipes were connected. In one
case the steam was delivered near the
bottom only. The other was fitted $50
that steam could be liberated in the
silo within two inches of the bottom
at G, and also midway between the
bottom and top at F. The upright pipe
EFF in the silo was covered with a cap
at F so as to prevent fodder from fall
ing into the pipe. Ten to Is holes
three-eighths-inch in diameter were
drilled in the pipe near the cap at F
as outlets for the steam. The elbow at
G turns directly down and comes to
within about two inches of the bottom
of the silo. This elbow G prevents ma
terial from getting into the pipe GH,
and serves as an easy outlet for the
steam when forcing it into the silo
near the bottona."
The corn cut into these silos was
quite green. 1t was cut into three
fourths-inch lengths and packed down
so that each silo contained a little over
three tons. Steam was introduced I'M
der pressure of first 20 and again later
at 40 pounds. This was kept up until
the steam escaped at the top and the
temperature rose to 212 degrees. Then
the steam was shut off and the pipe
stuffed with sterilized cotton, while
the top of the silage was covered with
the same material. As result OF the
steaming the silage shrunk about rs
per cent When opened there was some
loss at the top, as the cotton did not
prove good protector. Below the
moldy part the silage was bright and
sweet-"with the odor of cooked sweet
corn-not at all like ordinary silage!"
Analysis of this silage showed that It
did not undergo nearly as great
chemical change as the silage put up
in the ordinary way. Of course such
small silo does not give fair chance
for practical investigation, and this
year the experiments have been re-
peated on a larger scale-in silos nine
and ten feet in diameter. These have
been filled with corn and green clover.
and thoroughly steamed. While no ac-
tual feeding results can be given until
this silage is taken out and fed we
feel very confident that steaming, in
tight silos, will be found very useful
in some sections of the country.-Ru-

STEAM IN THE SILO.
Oregon Experim ent Station Tests Fa-
vor the Steaming of Ensi1aGe, in
Certain Conditions.

Nearly 20 years ago, when silage was
an uncertain quantity, student at an
agricultural college suggested running
jet of live steam in at the bottom of a
cement silo. The argument was that
this would cook the silage, and, if the
silo were then tightly closed, give it
just about the conditions under which
fruit or vegeta bles are canned. This
suggestion was laughed at as absurd.
From time to time we have seen re-
ports of the use of steam for preserv-
ing stock food In one casean English
farmer had quantity of musty or
damaged hay. 1t was packed into a
small barn-an the cracks and holes
being closed. pipe was run inside at
the bottom of the hay, and steam
forced in under powerful pressure.
This was kept up until the steam es-
capped at the top. The result was that
