We Would Do Without Many
Things But Not Electric Light

we would do without great many things
before we would think Of doing without electric
hight That is the remark of new customer
whose opinion was asked FIe has ten roomed
house, probably like yours, and it is equipped for
electric light And he uses it,
His summing up of tho situation tells much
to you and to everyone 1t is so satisfactory to
him that he and bis family would not be without
it. If they had to give US something they would
look for something else and keep tue light. Sc
would everyone who uses electricity.
Perhaps the cost has been deterring you
from coming IN and talking over the matter of
equipping your home Il need not worry you
IN the least The chances are that few cents
day would give you all of the comforts which
you much enjoy and which this man and his
family are enjoying. If the rate was according to
the comfort it would be so high that no one could
afford to pay it. but the comfort is great and the
price is low You pay only for what you get
Really the cost is so small that after you have
looked into it you will be surprised t,at you did
not equip your home long ago. Better come in
now and 60 over the matter with us.

THE BLADE,
FILLING THE SILO.
Toledo. Ohio

r Corn is ready 10 lie cut for silage wh,n
the grain is in the dent and glazed, but
can still be broken with the thumb nail.
At this stage under normal conditions
the two or three bottom leaves will be
turning brown and the shuck will be
turning yellow at the end. There is
greater danger of putting up silage too
dry rather than too moist. In a stave
silo the slaves should be frightened up to
exclude the air and generally loosened a
little after the silage swells the slaves,
The inside wall of a concrete silo should
be washed with a thin mixture of cemen
and water every two or three years. This
fills the pores and keeps the air from the
silage.
II will take at least six teams to keep
the average silage cutter busy. Corn
should not be cut down too far ahead or
it will dry out too much. Two men
should work in the silo distributing the
sllage with forks. Where a silage dis.
tributor IL used one man is sufficient,
They should keep the silage higher at
the walls than in the center and should
continually tramp the silage next to the
walls. The tramping is especially tt
keep out the air, When possible allow
the machine to stand two or three day
and refill to make use of all the capacity
Finish filling the silo by running in
.oad of grass or weeds. This will rot all,
seal the top and prevent having to thro,
out the same O of spoiled silage.
The silage should feel wet after it
rut in the silo. II the corn is very nj
ture when cut and is therefore too Dir
add water A small stream may be ru
into the blower from a barrel or tanl
1t is especially important that the silal
be we'll tramped. The blower should
run a few minutes every morning
order to clear the atmosphere before All
one enters the silo.
The above instructions cover the !
portant points in filling a silo. r
