When it begins to glaze, begin
to fill your silo, but before you
begin be sure that you have
force enough to do the filling.
On this point consult some Of
your neighbors, taking into &C
count the distance you have to
haul. You will be fortunate If
you can persuade about three Of
your neighbors to build silos at
the same time, and then join
forces and teams. It's astonish-
ing how much work a neighbor
can find to do if you want him to
help you to put in silage, if he
does not have a silo to fill him
self. Don't be surprised if he
refuses.
Don't imagine that you have
to let your fodder wait to dry
out before you put it in the silo.
While the water in it has nc
feeding value, yet you must have
the water to keep the silage.
Don't imagine that you have to
wait until the dew is off. Don't
let a little rain stop you. 1t is
all the better, if your corn is
quite moist. You are not likely
to get too much water in the 81.
lage, if you have let the corr be-
gin to glaze.
Now. what are you trying to
do in filling the silo? You want
to exclude the air from the Silage.
Therefore, you want to cut i,
short, so that it will pack closely.
Then you want to see that ii
does pack closely. What hap
pens if you don't? Air gets in;
the silage gets moldy, loses flaw
or, and of course loses feeding
value. Remember in filling your
silo that the grain is heavier
than the stock, and do not lei
much of the grain fall in one
place. See that it is we'll scat
tered. Scatter it all over the
surface. You can do this very
easily by a very simple device
which is furnished by all silo
builders. Remember that the
place from which you especially
want to exclude the air is along
the edge, for the friction of the
silage in the silo will prevent
close packing. Therefore, tramp
it, and tramp it we'll about the
edge.
Remember that there are a lot
Of other things that can not be
learned except by experience; and
It will be great help to get the
experience of men who have had
experience and paid for it in the
good, oh-fashioned way. Take
counsel of these men who have
had some experience with silos,
and learn something.
If you can fill your silo half
full and then let it settle for sew
eral days, you are fortunate, be-
cause, no matter how we'll you
tramp it down, and the more ii
settles the more you can get into
your silo. Therefore, if you can
partly fill your silo, then your
neighbours and another neigh
boris, and then come back and
finish your own, it will be money
in your pocket.
1t frequently happens that the
fodder gets too dry before it is
put in the silo. Well, the rem
edy for that is simple: Put in
water. You are not likely to
get too much. Have a stream of

CHAPTER XVII.

To his own advantage Coast was
gifted with the ability to recognize
the lr~remediable and concede it as
such. With quiet resolution he Gained
himself at that moment when he was
cold with despair, thrilled with appre-
hension, hot with anger, trembling
with humiliation, and powerless In the
grasp OF one to whom his most dc.
termined struggles were as impotent
as the writhing Of the butterfly whose
wings you imprison between thumb
and ~forefinger. The arms of the big
Ch1naman wound round him were as
sinewy and long as those of a gorilla,
as strong as bands OF steel: he could
as readily break their embrace as he
could summon a tinnee to his aid by
twisting the ring upon his finger.

The aged man walked owe to the

The Worms Way.

The Hon. Stephen Coleridge, the
English NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS." said an
anti-viyisectionist Of Philadelphia, els
delighted with the recent English vivi-
section report, which promises to
abolish even the use of the live bait in
fishing.
"Mr. Coleridge once argued here in.
Philadelphia about the cruelty of fish
ing with worms.
"'Oh,' his opponent said, the mere
fact that a worm writhes and wriggles
when impaled on a hook is no proof
that 1t is actually suffering pain
emo, oh, no!' said Mr.. Coleridge,
sarcastically. Beyond doubt that is
just the worms way Of laughing at
being tickled.'"
