sion bureau at Washington Is arrang-
ing to take up the application Of John

The commissioner isn't certain by
any means that Early Is leper and

He declines to give out Early's place
of residence In Washington state and
says he will have him examined by
physicians who know nothing Of his
history.
In his application Early does not al
lege that he is leper, but says his
health Is bad He asks for a partial
disability pension instead Of the one
for total disability under which he
drew $72 and which was granted him
by the bureau when he was In the Dis
trict Of Columbia.
It Is understood the examination to
be made by the pension office physi-
clans will go q long way toward set
Ting the dispute between the Washing
ton health office and DR.. Bulkley, the
New York skin specialist, who declared
that EARLY is not leper. Leprosy Is
classed as an incurable disease.
Originally the pension was granted
10 EARLY on the decision of the Wash
ington health authorities, but when the
patient went to New York and DR..
Bulkley declared he was not a leper
Examiner Roome of the pension office
made an investigation. aud later the
monthly allowance was stopped.
EARLY served for nine years in the
army. being In Cuba and the Philip
pines. He left the army In 1906. going
to work in n pulp mill in North Caro-
lima. where he claims he received the
scars which the local health officials
claim are thoas OF leprosy.

CLEAN THE SEPARATOR.
BY William White.

It has been observed in many locali-
ties that great number of farmers
habitnally use their cream separator at
night. let it stand until morning with
out washing and then run their fresh
milk through tie dirty separator.
They consider the cream thus secured
pure, fresh and clean, lit to be used ON
the breakfast table or sold to the
creamery.
DO these same people allow their
supper dishes to. stand unwashed and
eat breakfast from them?
They are insulted. at such ques.
ton; but more. evil can. come from
using an unwashed separator than
from using unwashed Dishes,
Good cream never has, never will
and never can come from a dirty sep
arator.

Buy Your Alfalfa
Seed This fall
BY Samuel Carver, Scientific Assistant,
State College, Brookinss.

Farmers. buy your alfalfa seed this
fall or in early winter. BY getting your
seed this fall, you will get better
quality of seed. You can definitely
learn the source of the seed and you
can demand pure seed of high germi-
mating power AS it has been in the
past few years, the great demand for
alfalfa seed has been in early spring,
just before time of seeding. BY means
higher price than he needs to pay in
the fall, and, in addition, he generally
gets in such hurry to begin his seed

In storing the seed for the winter,

Propagation of Compass Cherry.

Propagation OF Compass Cherry.
A correspondent from Pingree.
Etutsman County. North Dakota,
writes:
"How is the Compass cherry propa-
gated? Budded or grated? II so on
what sort of roots? And at what
time? l have about SO trees with
some cherries on them and last fall
/ planted some Compass cherry pits
which are now coming up. Will they
bear fruit like the original or will they
be inferior to them?"
In reply to your favor the Compass
cherry in northern nurseries are
usually budded on wild plum root
They may be also grated early in the
spring on wild plum. have fruited
over 500 seedlings Of the Compass
cherry and they run back either to the
Sand cherry or wildplum which shows
its pedigree. did not obtain any
that were enough superior to the Com
pass to-, make 1t worth introducing
them. But the, new sand cherry hy-
brids, such as Opata and Sapa, think
will supersede the Compass on ac-
count of better quality. This is to be
expected as the Japanese plum. the
sire OF Opata and Sapa. is much super
ior as a fruit to our northwest wild
plum.

Total daily cost ..... /.


When this equipment and working
force are used. eighty tons of silage
can be put IN daily. If the corn fodder
is nearby. more than this can be put
in This would equal cost per ton
of about 6l cents per ton (s54.00 d.
vided by 30 equals Glc). The filing
Of the siio is not to be dreaded. 1t is
much easier to handle corn fodder in
this manner and at this time, than 1t
is to be bothering with 1t IN dry con.
dition during the winter. While
green corn fodder is heavier to han.
die. 1t is more pliable than is the dry
corn fodder. 1t is not easy work to
haul corn fodder from the shock in
The winter time when the butts are
frozen into the ground and the fodder
is filled with snow. The worst part OF
handling corn fodder comes in the
spring when the manure is to be haul
ed out. All of these difficulties ere
avoided by putting the corn fodder in.
to the silo. Instead of the corn stalk
going into the manure it is utilized as
a feed.

Filling The SiIo
BY Prof. C. Larsen, Professor Of Dairy
iiusbandry, Brookinos, S. D.

A few days ago the writer had a
talk with man who was contemplate
Ing building silo this fall. He
stated, 1T is not very difficulty nor
expensive to get the silo, but what
seems to me worse than buying the
suo is the filling of It. l need silage
cutter, engine and various other
equipment"
The writer feels that, somehow, the
filling of the sio is dreaded to great
er extent than Is the building Of the
silo. 1t is true that 1t is somewhat
costly to buy equipment for filling the
silo. The silage cutter Of good size
costs approximately 5000. The engine
or power, as a rule, can be hired, 30
no investment is needed there. In
some sections where there are num-
ber OF silos there are men who fill
silos by the day or by the ton, In
similar manner as threshing is done.
The best operative plan for filling 81
los is for three or even half dozen
OF the nearest neighbors to club to-
gether. They can purchase the silage
cutter together, and when filling time
comes they can exchange labor.
The cost of filing the silo will OF
course depend upon a great many
things, such as the distance to haul
the corn fodder. the kind of weather,
and amount and kind Of labor.
The amount of labor which the writ
er has found economical to use in fill
