settle evenly. To this end the leave:
and the heavier parts of the corn must
be kept thoroughly mixed and evenly
distributed in the silo. Owing to ths
great lateral pressure of silage, fric
ton with the sides of the silo has
tendency to make the silage less com

1t should be Eept thoroughly trampes
next the side. Every time three OF
four inches of cut material is addict
to the silage it should be tramped thor
oughly around the edge, taking shor
steps and packing the silage as mucl
as possible next the wall. These pre-
cautions must be observed during fill
ing to obtain perfect silage. If cors

be obtained to finish the last four or fivt
feet at the top of the silo, water should
be run into the carrier and the corr
well soaked. IL the corn is green, only
enough water need be used to soak
the upper six inches of silage.
Many different forms of covering
for sllage have been advocated, but
it is usually found most practical I'd

quently saving can be made by snap!
ping off the ears and using the stalks
alone, or by running enough straw,
chaff, or weeds through the cutter to
cover the silage from four to six
inches deep. If pressure is available,
water can be run into the carrier to
saturate this material. The top must
be thoroughly soaked once and the
whole surface well tramped every day
for week to exclude the air as much
as possible. This tramping should be
especially well done around the sides,
so that the air cannot gain access next
the wall. The object Of wetting the
surface is to obtain as quickly as pos.
sible thin layer of thoroughly rotted
silage, which will seal the top, thus ex-
Guiding the air and preserving the
silage below. If water is not added
to the top, the heat dries out the
silage, which may then fire fang to
considerable depth, entailing a great
loss.

Retain the AlInIic

What is known as humus in the
soil is vegetable matter in the process
of decay. Some of this vegetable mat.
ter decays in a few weeks, while 9TH
ers require several years to change
their form. This mass of vegetable
matter in the soil adds bulk to It.,
which bulk both helps to let in the
air and to retain moisture. The de.
caying vegetable matter holds more
moisture than Ire soil particles, and
it has been shown that soil rich in
humus has larger per cent of mois-
ture at all times of year than does
soil out of which the humus has been
exhausted. Humus is destroyed not
only by this natural tendency to de-
cay, but by its exposure to the sun,
when it has been turned up by the
pillow. 1t is also destroyed by quick
lime, which in doing SO liberates the
plant food. For this reason the appli.
cation of fresh lime to soil is fire.
luently destructive in its results. The
loss of humus in the soil weakens it
in regard to its ability to resist drouth
and to produce crops.-Augustus Mi

If Mr.. Hamilton did not recognize
liar physiognomy, then, indeed his
memory was not thoroughly rehaHli.
tated, and this agreed with his own
statement that some portions Of his
past life were still quite vague to his
mind.
Justice Bailey's examination was
lengthy and searching TO a certain eX-
tent. His course became obvious
after awhile. 1t was to ascertain Mr..
Hamilton's standing as a cashier be-
fore his disappearance, his acts while
away whether questionable or other
wise. and then to learn whether he
Id been accountable for his acts at
the time.
Strange and unusual circumstances
seemed to surround the affair. an air
of mystery chung to it from the man
ner of the brain specialist and Tony
Osborn; also the hypnotic theory
seemed to carry the matter farther
beyond the depth of the worthy JUS
tice. So, after examining the Seattle
witnesses, who brought no new facts
to light differing from those presented
by Hamilton himself, Justice Bailey
caused each witness to affix his name
to his testimony and ordered him to
appear at the next trial term of the
Supreme court. Whether an indict-
ment would be found against Hamil-
ton for forgery and embeZzlement re-
NAMED to be seen. To make the bust
ness safe and sure, the worthy JUS
tice ordered him to recognize with the
same sureties and attendance as hith-
erto at the next trial term of court,
to take place in April, the fourth Tues.
day in the month.

Water for Mix Cooling.

Success in butter making depends
very largely on the amount of water
available and its quality, both as to
purity and temperature. Where milk
has to be shipped to the city, or to the
creamery or bottling plant, it must,
immediately after being drawn, be
cooled to temperature as near so
degrees as possible. The farmer who
has a large supply of ice will find no
trouble in obtaining these results, but
most farmers have no ice in sufficient
quantities to enable them to cool the
milk twice a day throughout the en-
tire milking season. In the northern
climates the farmers have below them
a source Of water supply that is sell
dom fully utilized. Twenty feet below
the surface Of the ground begins the
zone OF thermal equilibrium. This
zone extends down to about so feet in
depth. This means that there is
layer of about 80 feet OF earth that
has uniform temperature through
out the year. This temperature de-
creases as we go north and increases
as we go south. In Manitoba the tenn
2erature is about 40 degrees, in north
ern Wisconsin about As, in northern
illinois around so, and a little south
or that about 55 degrees. The writer
tested the water at one Illinois cream
cry and found it to have a tempera-
ture or so degrees. This water was
being used in the cooling Of milk. 1t
viii thus be seen that a farmer who
has well from 80 to 40 feet deep
has reached we'll into the zone Of Their.
NAL equilibrium. II the water is
drawn from the bottom of the well
instead OF from the surface, the far
mer has fair substitute for ice. Ev-
cry farmer should have a windmill, or
some other mechanical power for the
raising OF water. In such a case he
can pump steady stream of water
into the vat in which his cans are
placed and the milk will be quickly
reduced from its temperature Of over
80 degrees to about so degrees. This
supply OF cold water Is too often not
utilized. II is no uncommon sight in
travelling through the country to see a
can of milk sitting in a tub of watef
beside the well curb. The tub has
been filled with surface water from
the well and has been quickly raised
in temperature by the heat escaping
from the can. 1t Is not surprising that
in such milk, Tactic acid ferments de.
velop rapidly, and that the milk keeps
for but short time. Such milk, i'm
stead of having a temperature of SO
degrees, will be found to have a tenn
perature nearer 20, which is a tenn
perature admirably adapted to the
multiplication of bacteria.

Fear Of Little Understood Terror Too
Much for Boy.
One day when the tailor's wife and
her little boy went out for walk they
saw that an undertaken had moved
into the shop next door. The boy
stopped and looked at the coffin in the
window.
What Is that, MOTHER" he asked.
He was a very little boy and had
never seen a coffin. His mother tried
to tell him. His eyes grew big with
wonder and fear.
will they put me in the white box,
MOTHER" he asked.
Not if you are good" said his
mother. "Only bad boys go into the
little white box"
After that the tailor's boy tried TO
be very good. He did not caper noisily
about; he obeyed every command, and
at night he asked: Mother, have
been good today"
One day the tailor's boy was cXcep-
tionally quiet. He lay in bed almost
all day. At night a great fear beset
him.
"Oh, mother" he cried, I'm afraid.
I've been good. SO good. Don't let
them put me in the little white box"
His mother tried to comfort him, bu:
the white box was very palpable ter
ror. and he could not get away from it.
Three days later crowd of people
came to the tailOrs house. They
were dressed in black and came in
carriages. The tailor's little boy was
there, but he did not see them. He
had gone into the little white box

Tas-of what nature?'
Il must decline to answer that CUES
ton, not because | should not care to

One of the specialists, Sidney W.
Lamb of Boston, was allowed to Ques-
lion Mr. Hamilton ard to examine him
professionally with a view to discOy
ering whether he was, or had been.
mentally deranged, as in that case,
he could rot be held accountable for
any act performed at such a time.
This was an important part OF the
proceedin gs, and the result of the eX-
animation of the specialists was eager

was postponed. until other witnesses
should be examined. The letter
which had been found under the presi.

Il reason thus: If l did not know

MIR. Low was questioned at this
point.

that the name was not spoken during

This point introduced by Mr.. Ham.
ilton that he did not know his name,
and therefore could not have signed It
to the letter, would apply to the inter.
view at the bank in the same way. II

supreme court, whose next term was

| have TO intention of giving a pro-
Xix account of the examination, only
a general summary of particulars. The
justice, with great dignity, before
swearing the witnesses asked Mr..
Hamilton if he wished to be examined
personally, assuring him that he was
not compelled to answer a single
question unless he chose.
Il am well aware of that" said Mr.
Hamilton. "but l shall answer prob
ably every question that you put to
me that l can"
That is WELL" said the justice,
"but the law compels me to caution
you. as all questions and answers will

also, refuse to answer any question,
saying simply, 4 decline to reply to
that question: and at any time you

Mr.. Hamilton related the story OF
