When the filling is completed the top

When the filling is completed the top
should be leveled off and tramped
down as thoroughly as possible over
the entire surface. The upper layer
should be thoroughly wet with water
in some way. This can be done by
running the water into the blower as
the last few tons are run in, or by
putting it into the silo after the filling
is completed. The idea is to form an
air tight layer over the top to prevent
the silage from spelling.
Some advocate the use of cut straw
thoroughly wet on top of the silage.
It has also been suggested that after
the silage is thoroughly wet down,
oats be sown on the top. These will
sprout soon and assist in sealing tie
silo more quickly.

The ultimate success of most of the
pended on saving of waste. The bust
ness experts today are developing
their time to stopping leaks. The time
is within the memory of living men
when bran was dumped into the Mis-
sissippi river. Do we throw it away
now? Products of iron smelling, odds
and ends from the packing house, and
a hundred other incidental products
are now being carefully turned to
profit. Even sawdust. which once was
burned, is distilled to charcoal, alco-
hol, creosote and turpentine.
Years ago the farmer burned over
his woodland every year as a matter Of
course, to make the grass grow bet
ter. But now he knows letter. It wac
too expensive.
Somewhere in every part Of the
country, this harvest time, a strawpile
will be burned. If it had not been for
the extreme shortage of feed last
winter there would have been many
windrow of cornstalks burned, before
the spring blowing. And possibly-al-
though it takes a stretch of the imagi-
nation-some farmer may haul out
some manure and dump it in the ra-
vine as they used to do.
These things are out of date. The
time will come when all farmers shall
realize that their profits depend on
saving and getting benefit from these
materials which have been, for so
long, wasted.

STEAMERS CRASH
IN DENSE FOG
Three Hundred Vacationists Return
ing Home, in Peril.
PASSENGERS ARE TRANSFERRED
Many Women and Children Thrown
Into Sea But all Are Rescued
Neither Boat Equipped
With Wireless.

Boston, Mass, July 31.-More than
800 returning vacationsts from Maine
resorts went through an ocean acct
dent off the New Hampshire coast
amid fog and darkness when the side
wheel steamer City of Rockland, from
the kennebec river for Boston, had
her bow crumpled in collision with
the collier w. NJ. Chisholm.
Stanch bullheads kept the Rock
land atloat, while a smooth sea and
the fact that the Chisholm swung
alongside Immediately after the col
lision enabled the passengers to be
transferred to the collier without loss
of life.
Lifeboats Launched.
At dawn the steamer Belfast came
up and taking the City OF Rocklands
passengers off the Chisholm, landed
them in Boston. The City of Rock
land. although sunk to her guards,
remained atioat and during the day
was towed stern first, to dock yard
at East Boston.
A few of the passengers suffered
minor injuries from the collision. A
score. mostly women and children,
were thrown into the sea when the
bow of life boat fell from it's davits.
All were rescued. Six lifeboats were
launched during the few minutes of
excitement following the collision, but
majority of the passengers scram-
bled over the side of the collier from
the deck of the Rockland.
Speed Had Been Reduced.
There was some confusion and con-
siderable shouting, while the din OF
the distress whistles of the Rockland
and the Chisholm, neither having
wireless equipment, added to the en-
element until the Belfast came
plunging out of the mists to the
rescue.
Because of the heavy fog the Rock
lands speed had been reduced, when,
about midnight. whistle was heard
ahead. A few minutes later
the two vessels came together, the
Rockland ramming the Chisholm on
the starboard side near the bow.
Both boats recoiled from the blow,
the Chisholm with big dent in her
side, while the Rockland lost % feet
Of her bow as cleanN as If it mad
been sliced of by a knife. 1t took
about an hour to transfer the pas
sengers to the collier.

SYSTEM Fur filling S|L0
HOW TO CUT AND PACK THE Sill.
AGE-cO.oPERAT PAYS.
BY c. H. EckIes, Professor of Dairy
Husbandry, College Of AgricuI-
ture, University Of Missouri.

When corn is used for silage the en-.
tire plant including the ear, is cut in.
to about one-haif inch lengths, using
a large power cutter for the purpose.
large cutter which permits filling
the silo rapidly is most economical
of labor. 1t is advisable for three or
four farmers located close together to
buy silage cutter together. BY help
ing each other they are able to fill the
silos for the group with the minimum
expense
The cutters used to fill a medium
sized silo have capacity of from 10
to Is tons per hour. From four to
six teams are required to haul the corn
from the field, depending on .Ae dis
lance and other conditions The corn
may be cut in the field with a corn
binder, If one is at hand, or may be
cut by hand and thrown H. to piles.
The cost of filling silo has been
found to vary from fifty cents to one
dollar a ton. depending On the machin-
cry used, the yield of corn per acre,
the distance hauled, and how the
work is organized and handled With
good organization and machinery the
cost should not be more than seventy
cents per ton.
The silage settles about eight feet
in silo thirty feet high and for this
reason, where rapid filling is prac-
ticed, the silo will not be full after it
has settled unless it is filled second
time. If it is convenient, allow the
machine to stand two or three days
for the silage to settle, then refill and
most of the capacity will be made use
of.
Where no special form of distributor
is used in the silo, there is tendency
for the heavier pieces of ears to drop
in one place while the leaves and
stalks are thrown greater distance.
In order to keep the silage OF uni
form composition the portion richer in
grain should be distributed over the
surface of the silo as the filling pro-
crosses.
1t is especially important to make
sure that the silage is packed closely
the walb since this is where
the air gets in and the spelling takes
place. The wall must be smooth to
make as little friction as possible in
settling. While the silo is being filled,
one man at least and preferably two,
should work in the silo, distributing
the silage and packing it. The outside
next to the wall should be kept higher
than the center and constantly
tramped. There is no necessity for
tramping in the middle. as it will take
care of ITSELF

The dust mulch from now on, for
the conservation of soil moisture.
A good garden goes a long ways
toward keeping down the cost of liv-
ing we have heard so much about
the last few years, but the city man,
living on lot a few inches too small
to hold his house, can not reduce liv-
ing expenses by gardening. It's a
few cents every time you turn around
in the cities.
Few of us 60 to the trouble of
grounding" our fences, but we real
ly ought to do it. Many a bunch of
cattle, with heads between the wires
during an electrical storm, are strick-
en- by single bolt. The loss to the
owner is then heavy, whether in
sured or not, and wires every few
rods, connecting each wire of the
fence with moist earth, might have
taken the current off and made the
bolt harmless.
/ have tried any number of dopes
to rid henhouses of mites, but a good
painting of the roosts and nest boxes
with crude oil, then a spraying with
a strong whitewash spray is the best
combination l have ever found. Il
