WHEN TO CUT CORN FOR sILAoE.

Cut 1t. Of course. at the time when
it has the greatest feeding value, that
is, just about the time when you would
put 1t in shock-wnen the ears are
we'll dented, and the husks. tassels, and
blades are beginning to turn. AS a
matter of course it cannot all be cut
ut this ideal time. Therefore, in order
to finish the cutting before it becomes
too dry it is necessary to begin little
before tine ideal time, just as we have
to do with wheat or anything else.
If the corn is cut in the hard roast
ing ear or when it is just beginning to
dent, there is too much water in it
and you are very likely to have sour
silage. If the cutting is delayed until
the blades are dry then you must sup
ply water in order to have it keep well,
out you will have silage somewhat
inferior in value.
If the farmer l1as a few acres Of
sorghum and his corn is beginning to
be rather dry. If he will alternate
load Of sorghum with load of this
rather dry corn he will have very
excellent silage The sorghum by its
superapundance Of moisture supplies
the lack Of 1t in the corn.

IS CHICAGO GUILTY
OF RACE SUICIDE?
Number Of School Pupils OF
Tender Age Has Fallen
Off Materially.

Chicago, Sept. 19.-Is Chicago reaping
The effects of a period of race suicide?
The figures of 1908 school census, made
public last night in advance of their
presentation to the board of education,
would indicate that this is a fact. In
veStigation of the figures shows that
in face of an increase of 40.797 in the
number of minors i'll the city the num-
ber of children in the public schools,
between the ages of and ia. has fall
len in two years from 1S3.600 to 176,S00.
In private and parochial schools the at
tendance at these ages has fallen off
1,4O0.
That the children have not deserted
the schools for the streets is indicated
by the fact that the number reported
as "out of schools" has undergone on
ly Il nominal increase-an increase
which Census Supt. w. 7. Monroe ad
mitS is entirely normal.

emanaitons from a thousand lungs and then other features of the same character. This man Is a gentleman and an educated man. A man of feel ing, sentiment, aspirations and affec tions, but what is he to do about it? Just put yourself in his place and i'm agine how long YOU, my happily sit uated brother, would be in seeking the cup that drowns all troubles Tor the moment? Now, my wise one will say, "Why are you not situated just as well as I? Where is your family? You have had opportunities. You should be entwined in the silken olive branch and have a little heaven of your own"
 An. my wise friend, you are taking a superficial glance at the situation. You may be ideally situated. You may have gathered in the sum total of your earthly yearnings,, the one ob- ject of your existence and you are surrounded by the fruits of that splen- did realization today. But the Arizo- na celebate may not have been so fortunate. The one crystallized ob- ject ot his life may have been dissolv- ed before his eyes, leaving him to find himself in a wilderness of human das- olation, and the very thought of form ing other ties, involving the shattering or his first, his only idol, the blot ting of every memory that ever tore aside the ven of Heaven, the crust of every tendril in the arbor of his soul, could not be endured. The very thought of a loveless home, where re- peated VOWS and asseyeTations of de- votions accumulatd into pyramids of hypocricy, injustice and ruin, to him and an innocent second party, the idea of tender little ones, the offspring of a convenience union, all revolted against his honest, noble and tender nature, and that is why he is not fixed" like you.
 Put yourself in his place" and you will admit that he is more sin ned against than shining, this Ar zona celebate who accepts his fate, and smilingly parties criticism with ou, a murmur, without frown and without a thought of exp .anation or retaliation.
