GIVEN A WASHING
Fire Department Men Played the Hose
in Main Street to Good Advantage.

Made very slippery by the mixture
OF dirt and the frost from the brick
pavement, Main street was a treacher-
Gus place on Tuesday, especially for
autos. For the purpose of washing off
this slippery mud Chief Stanton was
asked TO have his men wash the street
and for an hour after o'clock he had
eight men engaged in that work, and
they did a good job. With two streams
near the Chelsea bank building they
washed the pavement towards the
square and from Moran's and the
Wauregan corners into the square the
pavement was cleared of the mud. This
relieved the slippery condition and left
the pavements clean and safe for man
and autos

FILLING THE sIIo-

Many a farmer will be confronted in the course of a few weeks with the job of filling the silo for the first time For such few sug2 2estionS taken from al Iowa bulletin which gives the s.lo ex- perience of dairymep and feeders in different parts of the country will be timely. As to the proper time for cut ting corn for the silo there seems to be quite general agreement that it is ready to cut when it would be ready to shock-that is, when the kernels are dented and when the outer husks and lower leaves are turning brown. While the length into which the corn should be cut vary with different users, from one-half to three-fourths of an. inch gives a finer silage which can be pack ed into the silo more closely, in which there is less waste in feeding and which increases the capacity of the silo considerably. Slow and rapid till- ing have points in their favor, but the latter Eethod is followed by a ma jority, as it gives a more uniform quail ity of silage, obviates the necessity of putting up corn that is too green or too dry and is also the more economical way. With rapid filling a second fill ing Is usually necessary about ten days after the first silage has been put in. The more uniformly and thor oughly the silage is packed down as it Is put in the better the quality and the longer it will keep. In distributing the silage the outer edge should be kept about two feet higher than the center and kept especially well packed. The work of tamping may be done by foot, but cement tampers give even better results" This tends to make the silo more completely air tight and reduces loss from mold to a minimum. In the case of wooden silos any opening that would let air into the silage should be filled with soft clay. In case the corn used is overmature and dry the silage should be moistened as it Is run in. In topping off the silo some use chaff or cut straw; others soak the top with water and seed with oats, which sprout and form a nearly air tight mat. The cost of filling the silo varies with diff ferent outfits from 40 cents to $1 per ton-that is, this is the total cost from the standing corn in field to the shred ded product packed in the silo. The larger the outfit the lower the cost of filling, as rule. The process of fer mentation which converts the green corn into siIage requires about ten days. If not osed at once the top, which is likely to become moidy, should be removed and used as manure, as the feeding of it is often accompanied with serious results. a'.aH ps -a @a..a

HoMEsTEAp4Nc' IN THE DRY
 COUNTRY. ." ..h HH

Not with a view to creating prejudice against the Nvast country lying be. tween meridian 100 and the Rocky mountains, but simply as a warning to some who have made entry on home steads in the semiarid country and who have had no experience with dry farming methods, we would bring two or three things to their attention which may save them a lot of grief in the end. In the country referred to, where the annual rainfall is less than sixteen or eighteen inches per year, it is only practicable to raise a crop every other year, the land having to lie fallow each alternate season Tn order that enough moisture may be stored up to insure a crop the following year. This means that one must have considerable ready cash before starting out in such a dry country, not only for the purchase of necessary equipment for the working of a half section or more of land Qt does not pay to work less than thisl, but a surplus to tide one over seasons when nothing is, produced, It is well to, remember, too, that in years of ex- treme drought such as the last two have been, practically nothing can be produced. In one instance the writer knows of homesteader who went to the country referred to has had just one decent paying crop in eleven years, A little was produced ip three or four other seasons, but hardly enough to furnish forage for the ami mals which had to be kept on the farm. This may be an extreme ex- perience, but it is cited as showing what some men run up against when they cast their lot in the semiarid c0rOfrv

THE roRRENs TITLE SYSTEM.


 If there Is any one need more than another that is apparent in the realm of civil procedure 1t is that of q sim pier system of transferring title to real estate. In numerous cases this matter of giving clear title is veri- table bugbear, not only from the stand point of a possibility that some flaw will be found in it, but also in the mat ter of securing an abstract of title. Cases are not infrequent in which such transcript of the pedigree of real es- tate will run from $50 to $200. 1t is apparent that if the welfare of land holders were considered a new system would shortly be adopted, but the sys, tenn so generally in vogue gives fat revenue for lawyers and abstractors; hence it is Kept up. The Torrens title system lately adopted in Canada gives relief from the expense and red tape of the American method. On the trans fer of a parcel of land the seller sur renders to the purchaser his title. This is sent to the government department having charge of land records, together with a nominal fee. Thereupon there is made out and sent to the buyer of the land q title thereto, which, though not larger than half a sheet of note paper. is evidence of absolute owner ship, safeguarding the owner against scheming lawyers, clerical errors and pusillanimous technicalities of one kind and another. .... ... -.-..- ..... .-.
