Filling the Silo.

Ensilase in order to keep well
must be free from water. 1t is well,
therefore, for it to be cut and
shocked few days beforehand. Dry
or half cured corn may be safely si-
loed if water is added to 1t to make
moisture enough to start the fermen-
tation. Sometimes half dried corn
will make quite good ensilage with
out any water. The stalks usuahy
contain sufficient water at this stage
for the corn to cure itself, so that AN
excess Of water would tend to actdity.
The finer the corn is cut the better IL
will pack, and it is desirable to have
it pack as closely as possible, as 1t is
carried in from the cutter by tread
ing. It should be tread, not only at
the sides, but in the middle, for much
more fodder can thus be got into the
silo. The object is to get the ensll-
age in as solid as possible so as to-
exclude the air. The best condition
of it, including absence of sourness.
depends on this solid packing. For
merly it was customary to sprinkle
salt over the ensilage, as it was
packed down, but this is now known
to be unnecessary, if not detriment.
Far more preferable it is to have two
men in the silo as it is filled to see
that the ensilage is spread evenly and
tread down firmly. If the silo is
square the corners should certainly
be we'll tramped. When the recepta-
Gle has been filed to the, lowest door
this should be fitted into its place
and perfectly sealed against the en-
trance of air. A strip Of tarred roof
ing paper tackled over the joints OF
the door helps to prevent the en-
trance of air there as well as the es-
cape of the carbonic acid gas In the
silo; by no means should this have
chance to leak out, for if it does air
must of necessity get in, whereupon
new fermentation will be started
and a continuous mischief going on
at each door, resulting in more or
less damage to the entire contents OF

lNDICTS PROMOTER
millionaire Fitzgerald Must
Answer Fraud Charge.
ACCOUNTING is WANTED
Alleged That He Promoted Town ct
st. George, in Georgia, and Failed
to Make Showing for $4,000
of the Profits.

Philander II. Fitzgerald, million
aire pension attorney, colonization Or
ganizer, publisher of the American
Tribune, an old soldier paper, and
real estate dealer, was indicted at
Indianapolis, Thursday, by the federal
grand jury on the charge Of using
the-asails, to defraud. Two indictments,
10th of the same general tenor, were
returned against him, both in con-
nection with a colonizing scheme IN
Georgia. Fitzgerald went to the fede-
,al building on healing Of the indict-
ment and gave bond in the sum OF
$4,000 to appear in answer to the
charges.
Fitzgerald began his career in In
dia1apolis as a pension attorney soon
after the war, and has done an enor-
NOUS business laying the foundation OF
his immense fortune out of the $40
fees that he received for obtaining
pensions. Soon after he began as
J:ension attorney, he~inaugurated The
American Tribune, monthly paper,
which he sent free to former soldiers
and in which he recorded the pensions
granted and kept the veterans posted
en- all matters relating to pensions and
laws.
Several years ago he advertised
colonization scheme open only to vet
erans Of the war Of the rebellion. He
had purchased large tract of land In
the state of Texas and organized a
company in which he asked the ex-
soldiers to take stock.
The Texas project did not pan out
well, and he organized the 1904 Colony
Company and advertised it in his pa
Der. He professed to have purchased
@ large tract of land at site which
he called st. George, Ca, and which
& was to be laid out in building and
residence lots and farms from to
l65 acres.
The payment of SO entitled per-
son to one share Of stock or a resi-
I lOt, $lV gave lliAlA q DoSAAAN@S ASS,
or two shares of stock; $50 would
entitle q person to acres, and SO on
for as much as any cared to take. It
is charged that Fitzgerald did rot in
corporate the company; that be got in
about $4,000 On his scheme and spent
about s35,CO0 in plating the town,
h,ildins a postoffice and making other
/ improvements; that he has not divided
the surplus, as he promised; that he
cid not appoint a board Of governors,
tsbut did unlawfully and feloniously
!, convert all of said profits to his own
USE"
The alleged plat of land on which
ST. George is situated is on the Geor-
gia Southern and Florida railway, be-
tween Valdosta and Jacksonville, Fla.
Mr.. Fitzgerald charges the suits are
tho result of spite work.

BIG SHIPS IN COLLISION.

day night at 9 o'clock. AS result
Is steerage passengers and sailors
were killed, each vessel was seriously
damaged, and the two steamers have
returned to port for repairs.
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse be-
longs 20 the North German Lloyd
Steamship company. She carried 25S
first class passengers, $50 in the Sec
ord cabin and 697 in the steerage. She
left Southampton and Cherbourg Wed
nesday for New York. The Orinoco,
which belongs to the British Royal
Mail Steamship company, had cleared
from Southampton for West Indian
norts and New York. The passengers
OF the German vessel will be trans

The shock of the collision was ter
rife and created a panic on board

been swamped by the effort of the fear
stricken passengers to crowd into it

iiiv 10 the flock when the silage has
been properly cured. On the other
hand. quite a number have found
trouble from feeding it in large
quantities. On the whole, it is not
to be considered as satisfactory food
for sheep as field roots since more
especially when there is much corn
in the siiage it has tendency to
produce a heated condition OF the
system, which with breeding ewes is
not desirable.
1t is not well, perhaps, to feed corn
silage to a breeding flock more than
once a day, and when so fed the aim
should be to give them clover hay or
alfalfa at least once day in order
to produce proper balance in the
ration. In cold weather 1t is prob
ably wiser to feed the silage at noon
than morning or night. When ex-
posed. to such weather for only few
minutes, the temperature as cool as
Is frequently found in sheep sheds,
it will freeze more or less, or If it does
not freeze it becomes very cold. For
this reason it is better to feed 1t In
the middle of the day in cold weather
for at that time the temperature IS
usually many degrees warmer than
in the morning or evening.
1t is not common to feed more
than two to four pounds of silage per
head per day to sheep, but some
farmers who grow winter lambs feed
as much as that twice a day, more
especially after the lambs have been
born. A great advantage of silage
as food for sheep consists in Its
cheapness. 1t furnishes the cheapest
food that may be fed to them, and
when properly fed there should be no
fear of hurtful results from feeding
silage well made.

HIGHER WAGES GRANTED
To 10000 Cotton Mill Operatives in
Fall River-Threatened Strike and
Demands Were Granted.

The great army of cotton mill en-
ployess in Fall River, Mass, have won
a tattle for an increase in wages, and
Sc coo operatiyes will come under a
scale giving them 10 per cent more
than the present rate.
The granting Of the advance by the
manufacturers prevented a strike. the
worknen having voted to stop work
in all mills if the new schedule was
not accepted.
M. O.. D. Borden, an independent
cotton manufacturer, employing 5000
operatives, took the lead in meeting
the demands OF the mill hands by ali
nouncing that the scale Of wages IN
his mills would se raised 10 per cent.
No demand had been made upon the
proprietor If Fall River iron works
mills. and his action practically fore
ed the othe: mill manufacturers to
grant the increase.
Tie new LAY scale affects seventy
corporations operating ninety-two
mills, besides the iron works plant
The manufacturers associations agree
ment to pay the increase is for pc
ried of six months, but provision is
made for extending it.
Between November, 1903, and July
1904, the Fall River operatives suf
feced reductions aggregati1g % IL
per cent. Last spring part of the cui
was restored, ard in view OF the con
tinued prosperous business condition
the operatives demanded complete
resumption Of the 1903 scale.
1t is considered probable that other
cotton mills ultimately will be benefit
ed by the determined stand taken by
the Fall River unions.

The Difference in Cows.

At the New Jersey station every
low in the herd was tested carefully,
with records for a complete year.
The result shows the great difference
in COWS fed on equal amounts Of food.
The best COW gave S303 pounds OF
milk and the poorest cow only AIS
pounds. The best cow produced fat
equal to 405 pounds of butter, and
the poorest cow 202 pounds. Here is
statement which represents the
value of milk that will interest all:

Best COW go. sss.os $li4.2s 1924
Poorest cow. 44.l3 60.74 424
Average cow. 63:l4 $3.50 4234
What a margin between the best
and the poorest! One paid a little
profit, even with milk at two cents a
quart; the other hardly paid for her
food, 10 say nothing Of other ex-
penses. Here is a clear case Of rob-

Root HOrerS.

Squash bugs that pass the winter
as adults remain in the field until
nearly the end Of July. The eggs
upon the leaves are more abundant
then than at ar other time, early IN
August the disappearance OF the
adults becoming noticeable, freshly
laid eggs not being so numerous.
During August, however, the adults
of the new generation become abun-
dant, but do not lay eggs, hence
there is but one brood of squash
bugs each year. When autumn
frosts appear, some Of the bugs are
still immature, and congregate upon
the unripe fruit, where they SUCK
the juices, many thus being able to
become adults during the mild au-
tumn days. In winter they are con-
cealed beneath fallen leaves, stones,
logs, boards, etc., remaining dormant
until the warm days of spring, and
fly to any squash plants that may be
up, finding their food, as it seems
evident, by the sense of smell. A
number of bugs will congregate on a
leaf and cause it to dry up, and this
dead portion may vary from a prim-
rose gray to a dark brownish-black.
The bugs are generally present for
work as soon as the young plants ap-
pear. Later on in the stage OF
growth of the squash plant the root
borer and fungus appear. A sudden
willing and dropping of the plant
characterizes the attack Of the root
borer, which is believed to be the
larva of the striped beetle. The
plant may be thrifty in the morning
and dead at night. When attacked
by fungus the leaves begin to dry up
at the margins, the plant turns, a
dark green, dried-up blotches appear
on the leaves and the plant dies with
out whiting. Many remedies have
been resorted to. The squash bug,
like nearly all insects, is attacked by
parasitic flies. The squash bug Sc
cretes an odor which repels toads to
a certain extent, hence the toad will
consume them only when very hun.
cry. The bug is also subject to some
fungus disease, which has not been
identified, but it has not been very
seriously damaged through such
source
