Dynamite Is Used.

Pine Bluff, Ark, March 23.-Fire
late Friday swept over the entire

soon apparent that the water pressure
was not sufficient to subdue the

my little boy, when only an infant
Of three months, caught the Cuban
Itch. Sores broke out from his head
to the bottom of his feet. He would
itch and claw himself and cry all the
time. He could not sleep day or night,
and light dress is all he could wear.
I called one of our best doctors to
treat him, but he seemed to get worse.
He suffered so. terribly that my hus-
band said he believed he would have
to die. had almost given up hope
when lady friend told me to try the
Cuticura Remedies. I used the Cuti-
cura Soap and applied the Cuticura
Ointment and he at once fell into a
sleep, and he slept with ease for the
first time since two months. After
three applications the sores began to
dry up, and in just two weeks from the
day l commenced to use the Cuticura
Remedies my baby was entirely well.
The treatment only cost me Csc, and l
would have gladly paid 500 if I could
not have got it cheaper. I feel safe in
saying that the Cuticura Remedies
saved his life. He is now a boy of five
years. Mrs. Zana Miller, Union City,

from lack Of power, and it was limos.
sible to clog the pipe by overlooking.
In silo more than SO feet in depth
1t is not necessary to have a man to
tramp the cut corn. If the surface is
leveled two or three times day while
filling, the silage will pack sufficiently
to keep. But there is one objection
to doing this. If the cut corn is al.
lowed to pile up in the form of cone.
the heavier parts will roll to the out.
side Of the pile and the grain and
leaves will not be evenly mixed.
Several devices have been invented

full. One of the most satisfactory dis.
tributers where blower is used con.
sists of two boards, eight or ten
inches wide and about half as long
as the diameter of the silo, nailed to-
gether at right angles to form a
trough. A 12-inch board is nailed
over one end of this trough, the other
end being left open. For use. the
trough is suspended from the roof
with the open side downward and the
closed end toward the center of the
silo. The open end rests above the
top of the blower pipe. As the cut
material leaves the pipe 1t follows
along this trough until it strikes the
closed end; then it is scattered about
the silo. If little care is exercised
in adjusting this device. it will give
very good results.

Filling Closed TOP and return


Each teamster pitches off his own
load. This makes crew of eight or
nine men, exclusive of the man who
tends the engine.
2. In cases where there is short
age of teams the following method is
generally practiced: One man, with
three horses, cuts the corn; two men
load the wagons in the field; two
men, or boys, with teams, haul the
corn to the cutter; one man unloads
the wagons; one man feeds and one
man works in the silo. AS soon as
load arrives at the cutter the teamster
changes his team for an empty wagon
and goes back to the field after an
other load. When a wagon is unload
ed it is run out of the way by hand.
With this method boys who are not
strong enough to handle the green
corn can be utilized to drive the
teams. This method requires a crew
of six men and two boys, exclusive of
the engine tender.
8. When enough horses are avail
able and help is scarce, the following
arrangement of men and teams is a
good one: One man, with three
horses, runs the harvester in the
field; four men with teams haul the
corn to the silo; one man feeds and
one spreads the corn in the silo. Low
trucks or wagons with racks suspend
ed below the axles should be used, so
that the teamsters can put on their
own loads. This requires crew Of
seven men, besides the engineer.
The table below gives a comparison
of these three methods.

"A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON
THE FILLING OF SILOS
By Lyman Carrier Scientific Assistant
naent Investigations, Bureau Of Plant
Industry.

The methods employed by the DIFF
ferent farmers in filling their silos
varies greatly, no two being exactly
alike. With few exceptions the diff
ferent methods may be classified in
three groups:
1. The most common practice is
to have one man with three horses on
a corn harvester cutting corn in the
field; two men to load the wagons in
the field; three or four men with
teams, depending on the distance
from the field to the silo, to haul the
corn to the cutter; one man to run
the engine when steam is used for
power, and, occasionally, when gaso.
line engines are used, one man to
feed the cutter and one man in the
silo to spread and tramp the silage.

Sail Rock.

proper distance. 1t is seen to be moth.
ing more or less than a huge block
of madreporic coral which has resist.
ed the assaults of the sea and towers
into the air.
When seen near at hand the trav.
eier only remarks it's strange posi-
ton, alone in the waste of waters.
Its base has been worn away by the
waves on all sides so that it is round
ed, but above the rock spreads out
wide and at distance bears strik-
ing resemblance to bark whose sail
is filled by stern breeze. The slen-
der growth of trees at the top has
the exact appearance, when seen from
afar, of mast. Nothing more is
needed to complete the illusion. The
resemblance to vessel never fails to
deceive everybody who sees the rock
for the first time.
1t was named Sail Rock by the
earliest seafarers. The nautical in
structions supplied to Pacific mariners
make note of the resemblance to a
ship. They also speak of the rock
as serving good purpose, for it is in
front Of the narrow opening in the
reef through which vessels must pass,
and so points out the place.
Another fact that serves to keen
up the illusion to the last moment is,
as all the passengers are told, that
the opening in the reef is rather diff
cult to enter and pilot comes out to
take the vessel in. While the passen-
gers are gazing and specializing some
bright person Of course suggests that
this is the pilot boat coming out, and
everybody adopts the idea as explain
ing the true mission of the strange
craft. They are not aware that,
among those sleepy islands, nobody
is on the lookout for ships, which call
only at intervals, and the pilot usually
has to be summoned by the boom of
the ships cannon.
But the lookout has his Joke, and
life is enlivened for days by the mem
DRY of the excitement over bit of
Pacific coral.

A SAIL in SIGHT
BUT IT IS ONLY A ROCK IN THE
MID.PAclFIc.
A Peculiar Freak Of Nature That
Fools Every Traveller When il
10 First Sighted.

To persons on the Pacific ocean the
sighting of another vessel is of great
er interest than the same occurrence
on the Atlantic, for ships are not so
common on the endless waters of the
Pacific. There is one place, however,
where the lookout will always an.
uounce ship.
He knows better, but he must have
his joke, and it never fails. He gives
the familiar call and the passengers
crowd forward and strain their eyes.
Away off they dimly see ship.
Every minute it's outlines come
more clearly into view. Why, it is
bearing straight down on us, and the
faithful Pacific trade wind is bellying
its sail, they cry.
1t happens that they are approach.
ing the little group Of the Wallis is
lands, but the land can scarcely be
discerned, even when the ship is only
six or seven miles away. Every field
glass on board is brought to bear on
the vessel, and a strange thing about
1t suddenly becomes subject of ami.
mated discussion.
