Z INDICTED FOR

indianapolis Held for Killing
Woman PhySiCian.>

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Dec. 31.-Dr.
w B. Craig, of the Indiana Veterinary
college, and A. NJ. Ragsdale, prominent
indianapolis undertaken, were indicted
for the murder more than a year ago
of DR.. Helen Knabe, former state pa
biologist, by the Marion county grand
jury, which reported today
The Indictment of DR. Craig for the
crime itself and of Ragsdale as an ac-
cessory closed a historical session of
the grand jury, the secrets of which
were carefully guarded, but which
probed deep for facts.
Undertaken Her Administrator.
Surprise was occasioned by the in
dictment OF Ragsdale, the undertaken
who was the administrator and settled
up the affairs of the lone physician
who was found on the bed in her apart
ment in the Delaware flats on the
morning of October %, 1911. with her
throat slashed in a manner that In
dicated the hand Of an expert with sur
gical instruments.
The police, after exhaustive work on
the case, declared it one of suicide.
while the coroner insisted that his in
vestgations compelled him to decide on
murder
A silken kimono is said to figure
strongly in the evidence before the
grand jury which returned the new in
dictments. Some pillow slips are also
involved being articles that did not fig
ure in or were overlooked by former in
vestigations
Blood on kimono.
Part of the evidence before the grand
jury is said to be the finding Of human
blood, by chemical analysis, in certain
of the garments of Dr. Knabe. even
after they had been washed.
The discovery of the blood spots on
the kimono might be taken to indicate
that DR.. Knabe wore the kimono at the
time OF her death, but the witness who
found her says it was not on her at the
time. Many new witnesses were ex-
amined by the grand jury which re-
turnel the indictments today.

A second silo will also be built, but

The dairy show, which is an added
feature to the Industrial Exposition,
will prove a source of deep interest
to all Exposition visitors, especially
in view of the fact that the bumper

Agricultural College, ept. 14.-The
best silage is made from corn cut
during the glazing stage. In case the
season for frost has arrived it will
need to be out at an earlier stage for
frosted corn soon becomes too dry to
make good silage. Up to the tassel-
ing stage of growth the corn plant
builds framework and constructs
cells to be nlleds with food material
later. (The growth OF the corn
plant is very rapid until it reaches
the tasseling stage Immediately after
which begins the storing up of food
material in the cells.)
The storing Of food material is
rapid after tasseling time. The de-
grees of maturity are defined as fol-
lows: the silk, milk, glazed and ripe
stag cot growth. Between tasseling
and ripening, the quantity of water
in the cells is replaced largely by
sugar, starch and fats. 1t has been
found by experiment and chemical
analyses that for each pound of dry
matter at the ~tasseling stage there
will be two pounds when In milk,
three pounds when In the m..A, four
pounds when in the glazing stage and
i've pounds when ripe. In other
words there will be as much food
material or one acre when ripe as
are on four acres when tasseled out.
Hence, the nearer, the corn ap:
proaches the riDened stage the more
food material will be obtained. The
best. grade Of silage is secured when
the corn is harvested in the glazed
Stage or when the kernels are well
denied.
Filing the silo.
The cost Of filing the silo depends
upon the length of haul and even dis
tribution of help. A common arrange
ment of help is to have one man with
three horses to cut the corn. two men
to load the wagons in the field. three
or more men with teams to haul; the
corn from tn field to the silo depend
ing upon the distance, n man to
feed the cutter and one mar to spread
and pack the silage in the silo..
The average cost per ton OF filling
81 silos, according to Farmers Bull.
letin No. 1872, department of agricul-
ture, ranges from ACC to SEC with an
average OF 64cy In Iowa the cost
ranges from 43cs to &c with an aver.
age of soc, while data from North
Dakota farmers ranges, from SOC to
$1.3l with an average OF 72c per
ton.
Harvesting Machinery.
The handling Of silage is best done
by using a corn binder to cut the corn
and tie it into bundles which saves
much time and labor.
A low wagon with a strong rack
saves unnecessary lifting and is very
satisfactory way of getting the green
corn to the silo.
The silage is best cut. into fine
pieces not to exceed a half inch in
length. Short pieces pack more firm
ly in the silo and live stock like it
better and will eat 1t up cleaner. 1t
is a good plan to have q large cut
ter with plenty of power to run it so
that a large force can be worked in a
rush season.
The cost Of a corn harvester is
about $125 and Of a silage cutter 1925
to 5000 depending upon the size,

TINE TO HARVEST CORN FOR SILAGE
In some cases several farmers buy

In some cases several farmers buy
the machinery in partnership and ex-
change help at filling time. This en-.
ables them to fill the silo at the
proper time even If help Is scarce.
The most economical way to fill the
silo is to- have "a crew large enough
to keep the engine and cutter work.
ing at full capacity. Where the silo
is lied rapidly a good plan is to let
the silage, settle a day or two while
another silo is being filled, then
more silage can be put in and the
full capacity of the silo utilized. The
silage needs to be we'll packed near
the walls for lateral pressure tends
to develop friction against the sides
Of the silo and leaves open spaces
in the silage.
Rain does not harm the silage
either before or after filling the silo.
Often a threshing crew can be set to
work filling the silo on a wet day
when the grain is too damp to thresh,
In case the corn is frosted a little
before cutting, water will need to be
added to the silage occasionally when
filling to make it pack thoroughly and
exclude the air. /
%E' Covering the silo.
II isl good plan to have q roof on
the silo. 1t need not be expensive
but sufficient to keep out the snow

leave the silo open and seal it by
running on a quantity Of chaf OF
straw. This. is then wet and seeded
with grain which grows and prevents
any loss of silage.
