]OR eighteen years Christopher
Ia Columbus cherished the dream
Of finding land to the west. This
time was spent in Intellectual at
tempts to get money for the undertake
ing. Almost every sovereign of Eu-
rope was appealed to in vain. Poor,
friendless, almost alone, regarded by
many as insane, Columbus met rebuff
after rebuff, but would not give up his
dream. Finally he appealed to Ferdi-
nand and Isabella of Spain. Ferdinand
was not convinced but Isabella was
more favorably inclined and in the end
went so far as to pawn her own jew
els for the enterprise
With the fitting out Of his expedi-
ton the troubles of the great discov-
erer were not ended. When twenty
days or more out In an unknown sea,

him to turn back. At last the muir

age was ended and a goal greater than
he himself knew was won.
In all history there are few more in,
spring examples of faith than that Of
Columbus. He had only his own ideal
to support him. Every one else doubt
ed it. Nearly a score of years passed,
in which every attempt to realize his
dream met with failure. 1t is Won
derful that doubt did not assail his
own heart. His was a faith, if not to
remove mountains, at least to bring
new worlds into view. So great were
his troubles that they made him white
headed at thirty. They pursued him
even to the end Of his life. At one
time he was thrown into prison. At
nearly all times he was mlsunder-
stood. Saddest of all, he died without
knowing that he had found two new
continents and that his humble trip
across the sea would open new era
in the history of mankind.

There is a knowledge Of God, not abb
solute, for we know in part, but a
knowledge as sure as that we have of
space and time God does not have
to be proven. He is the very condi-
ton of all thought, the necessary pre-
mise to any knowledge of self or ma
ture.
We know God, too, by appearances.
The phenomena attending the life of
Jesus Christ furnish incontrovertible
proof. On the basis of the conceded
genuineness of portions of the New Tes-
lament narrative, we know enough of
God to make it possible to call Him
Father. 1t is not enough to believe.
We can also know. The highest philos-
ophy of today says we do know God
by immediate perception. And tine man
who does not try to cultivate this spirit
ual faculty by which God is known has
no right to deny the power to others.
If man is blind or deaf, let him not
go around Dragging about it. Let him
rather be ashamed and keep still.

putting Up siIage.

Many people make the mistake of
cutting corn too green for silage,
writes DR.. G. A. Billings in American
Agriculturist At this stage there is
a larger percentage of water, and the
silage when taken out has a large
amount of acid, less starch and sugar
and hence Is less nutritious. Corn
planted in drills with stalks eight to
ten inches apart will mature a good
proportion of ears.
Harvesting should not begin until
the ears are passing the roasting stage
and begin to glaze. Unless the season
Is exceptionally dry the stalks and
leaves will remain green, but too ma
ture or dry corn is more liable to
mold. This may be found in spots
around the sides or more generally
over the silowherever the air has gain
ed access to cause the fungous growth.
This condition may be improved by
tramping the material carefully in the
silo, adding water by sprinkling with
hose, or If this is not available di-
rect stream of water into the blower
or elevator sufficient to saturate the
cut fodder. This moisture assists the
material to settle and acts as a seal
to keep out the air.
There should be labor and teams
enough to keep the cutter running
steadily. Nothing is gained by cutting
a large amount of corn beforehand,
hauling and piling near the machine
to be handled over again. Aim to har-
vest at the least expense a ton. This
will be accomplished as follows: If
hand cutting is practiced, cut and hand
directly to the man loading, not throw
ing on the ground In bundles, which
will require an extra handling. Let
chine In turn, handling the corn direct
~ to the feeder. If the corn is long
and heavy an extra man is needed on
the table to assist.
Power should be ample and in pro-
portion to the size of the cutter. The
blower Is replacing the elevator ma
chine, economizing space and largely
doing away with the stopping of an
entire crew to repair the elevator. If
the corn is heavy and the stalk large
cutting In half Inch to one inch pieces
will have the tendency to partially
shred the stalk, and there will be no
butts refused by the animals.
'Teh material in the silo should be
kept level and well trampled, especial
ly around the sides of the silo, and it
pays to have sufficient help for this
work Where considerable silage is

Bran for Poultry.

Bran is an excellent food for poul-
try in all stages of growth as well as
for laying hens. One great point In
its favor is its cheapness. 1t cop%ains

other food at the price, and lime in
essential to growth of bone, muscles
and feathers, as well as the formation
of shells for eggs. Lime which is
found In food for some reason is much
more easily assimilated than in the
form Of oyster shell and the like.
Wheat is a most excellent poultry food.
but the high price prohibits many
from using it freely. Bran and clo-
yer used in connection with oats viii
produce as good results. Glover and
alfalfa are rich in lime and should be
had at all times in the green state
when possible and in tae form of we'll
cured hay the rest Of the year. Cut
alfalfa and bran may be fed in the
form of mash. Skim milk is an ideal

eat alfalfa or clover hay freely from

Bran may be used mixed with the

of all in which to use it.
"Some of the most valuable food
properties contained in the wheat are
left in the bran and its food value for
poultry is not fully appreciated by
many poultry ralsers or we would see
more of them using it in the ration.

Avoiding Wastes.

The first great lesson to be learned
Is to avoid waste Waste has been the
curse of agriculture. why pay taxes
on land that is not farmed? Why only
half cultivate the fields and so waste
both land and labor Why waste time
and capital In raising inferior animals?
Why waste money in buying what
should be raised on the farm? Why
waste energy in trying to do more thar
any one man can do right? On many
farms there is waste in a thousand
ways, and no wonder that to some
farming does not pay" The small
details must be looked after, and no
farm should be larger than what can
be properly attended to.
