FOR NEGROES,
GOVERNOR SAYS
Florida Executive Thinks
Races Can't Live To-
gether Longer.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, April Am the
course of the biennial message which
Governor Broward sent to the Florida
Legislature upon its converting here at
noon today the governor says:
There has been no agitation here. as
IN some States. that the expense of
running negro schools should be de-
rived from the assessment and colIec-
ton from the property of white people.
In fact, no question has arisen to cause
any disturbance, yet it is apparent 20
even the casual observer that the rela-
tons between the two races are becoming
more strained and acute The negroes
today have less friendship for the white
people than they have ever had since
the civil war. and the white people have
less tolerance and sympathy for the
negro. It is my opinion that the two
races viii not for any great length of
time occupy the same territory without
friction and outbreaks of disorder be-
tween the two.
Education Worse Than Useless"
Il doubt if education can possibly
tend 10 the happiness Of any race so
long as it only ends in a keener discern
fnent of the hopeless difference between
the past and future history of that
race and a dominant race in the same
country and in the same neighborhOOd.
The educated negro can look back with
no pride upon the past history Of his
race. nor can he look forward TO a time
when his race can hope TO control the
politics of the country or regulate So

"The Only Hope"

Il believe this to be the only hope of
q solution of a race problem between
the white and black races, as I can see
no ultimate good results that can accrue
from the education Of a race, without
planting in their being the hope OF at
tanning the highest position in Govern
ment affairs and society. In fact. /
can see no reason to expect that any
man can be made happy by whetting
his intelligence to that point where he
can better contemplate or realize the
hopeless gulf that must ever separate
him and his race from the best thing
that the dominant race, who employ him
as servant, have in store for themselves.

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

when lady friend told me to try the

Ointment and he at ence fell into q
sleep, and he slept with ease for the
drst time since two months. After
three applications the sores began to
dry up, and in just two weeks from the
day commenced to use the Cuticura
Remedies my baby was entirely we'll.

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

top Of the blower pipe. AS the cut

along this trough until it strikes the
closed end; then it is scattered about
the silo. If a little care is exercised
in adjusting this device, it will give
very good results.

up through tube by means of cur
rent of air. The chief objection to
the blower machine is that it takes so
much power to run it. While the
blower requires more power to op.
crate than does the slat carrier, very
few blowers require more than a 12-
horsepower engine. Where the car
rier elevators were used in a test it
cost on an vaerage IS cents per ton
to fill the silo, while it cost those who
used the blower elevators 81 cents. A
carrier unless covered on top and
fitted with return trough under
meath is very untidy, especially during
windy weather. At one place there
was litter to the depth of half a foot
about the silo that had blown out of
the carrier. This trouble is avoided by
the use Of the blowers.
The blower pipe should stand as
nearly perpendicular as possible. In
one case that was called to the
writer's attention a blower at first
proved unsatisfactory. The trouble
lay in having the cutter set too far
from the silo. with the pipe leaning
at an angle Of 30 degrees from the
perpendicular. The pipe clogged fire..
quently, and a 12-horsepower engine
was insufficient to handle the cutter
when 1t was crowded to anything like
It's full capacity. After two days OF
annoyance and encouragement the
owner changed the position Of the
machine, putting it close to the silo.
The difference could be noticed at
once. There was no further trouble

Filling so Ton and


Each teamster pitches of 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 a 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 a
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 crew
of six men and two boys. exclusive of
the engine tender.
3. 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.

of these three methods.

A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON
THE FILLING OF SuOS
BY Lyman Carrier Scientific Assistant, Manage
uent Investigations, Of Plant
Industry.

The methods employed by the DIFF
terent farmers in filling their silos
varies greatly, no two being exactly
alike. With a few exceptions the DIFF
terent methods may be classified in
three groups:
/. 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.
The Wahpeton times. [volume] (Wahpeton, Richland County, Dakota [N.D.]) 1879-1919, 1907-06-27

The difference between methods 10
in the arrangements for loading,
hauling and unloading. When there
is a sufficient number Of teams. the
teamsters do their own loading and
unloading. When teams are scarce.
two leaders and one unloader are
needed; but boys may drive the teams
to and from the field.
A few years ago It was thought
necessary to ensilage corn in an i'm
mature state in order to have it keep.
This made sour silage with strong
pungent odor. The consensus of opin.
ion now favors letting the corn go
until the grain is fully matured. In
ordinary seasons there is period,
lasting but q few days, in which the
corn ears are ripe and the leaves and
stalks are green. This is the ideal
time for putting it in the silo. If the
corn is allowed to mature beyond this
stage, water should be added to the
cut material at filling time to prevent
fire Hanging" of the silage. The re-
suits of many chemical analyses show
that the food materials in the corn
plant increase very rapidly as the
plant approaches maturity, and do not
reach their maximum until 1t is fully
ripe. Most feeders prefer the silage
made from mature corn because it
contains less acid and possesses a
milder odor than it does when cut in
y n,roonor condition

some work, and too much attention
can not be paid to details of method
in order to avoid unnecessary lifting.
Before the advent of the corn har-
vester, when the corn vas cut by
hand and hauled unbound, it was a
common practice to have the cutter
set on a platform about two and one
half feet above the ground. A man
could pick up an armful Of corn on
the wagon and stepping on the plat
form place it ON the feeding table.
With the corn bound in bundles this

arrangement causes much extra Ia
Dor; nevertheless many farmers still
keep the cutter upon the platform and
lift the corn up to it when they could
much more easily drop it on the table
If the cutter were down on the
ground.
There are several flrst-class silage
cutters on the market-machines that
will cut the corn as fast as two men
can pitch it on the table. The self
feeding table that is found on most Of
the modern cutters saves the labor OF
at least one man. This table should
be long enough to hold two bundles
of corn Tapped at the bands.
There are two types of elevators in
general use. One is the old style slat
or rattle carrier, and the other is the
