DIGEST OF EXPERIMENT

SilOS and SiIage.

SllOS and S1Iage.
Several bulletins have just come to
hand from different stations on these
two subjects, and it will be we'll to
consider them all in one. article.
While the silo in the United States
dates from 1875, and the first book
on the subject was published in
France in 1877, giving h authors ex-
p%erience for 25 years. many people
think Of the silO as something quite
new, and thousands Of American
farmers have never seen a SilO; hence
fundamental facts and principles.
Everybody is more or less familiar
with canned goods-how the exclu-
sion of the air and it's germs of de-
cay from fresh fruits and vegetables
preserves them in their natural state
for future use. Now a silo may be
regarded as a huge can, and silage as
canned forage.
The Greeks and Romans preserved
green forage in pits dug in the earth,
and the first silos in northern and
western Europe were Of his type.
| Next, silos were constructed partly in
and partly above the ground. But
there is greater convenience in hand
ling silage when the silo is built en-
t;rely above the ground.
In order to exclude the air, silage
must be cut into lengths Of IA to IL
| inch, so that it will pack close, and
1t must either contain enough juice
| to fill all the little spaces between
these pieces, or enough water must be
added to serve the same Ma
chimes Of many kinds are on the mar
ket for cutting sila&e and ~elevating II
to the top OF the tallest silo with great
rapidity-fast enough to keep six O,
more teams busy hauling he forage

Of the $1,000 offers and Is to have a

and the same is reported Of Mecklen-
burg. The offer Of the $1,000 comes
because Of a million dollars given by
a Mr.. Rosenwald of Chicago, to be
distributed to counties raising $1,000
for crop improvement.
For the Hog Serum.
The Board. after a full discussion.
voted to appropriate $500 and all
receipts from the sale Of hog serum
for its manufacture and to erect a
plant, the present plant being on

the price Of the serum to n and a

About the Institutes.
T. b. Parker. director of farmers in
e~mbodying these abbreviated fea-
lures:
During the year we have held 236
regular farmers Institutes; 231 insti-
tuteS for 35 special railway
Institutes, % Of them with the South
ern Railway Dairy institute train, Ia
with h Winston-Salem Southbound
railway; II orchard demonstration in
stitutes held by the horticultural and
chronological divisions; 5 three-day
short curse institutes; a three-day
normal institute for institute lecturers,
and a three-day roundup institute, or
farmers convention. Institutes have
been held in SO of the 100 counties in
the State, Dare county. only, being
omitted.
The attendance has been as follows:
At mems regular farmers in
%stitutes 1888
At women's regular Institutes. 1914
At short course institutes -. 1882
At special railway Institutes. 1903
At orchard demonstration in
stitutes 223
At other special institutes -. 1,4O5
At roundup institute or farm
erS' convention $500
Total attendance ......... 60,190
Upon the face of the report the at
tendance does not appear to be quite
as large as it was last year, but in
fact 1t was larger. Last year were held
joint meetings at practically all of our
Institutes and the attendance at those
was counted, while this year COMPARE
lively few joint sessions were held, SO
the attendance from that source was
very small.
The report OF Mr.. Parker shows that
interest in bread making has been
greatly stimulated. Several prize
winner declared that they had been
taught the art and a n~1ne-year-Old girl
won at another over all competitors.
For the two years closed, North Car
DINA has furnished more women's in
stitutes than Any Of the States, beat
ing Wisconsin 5000, and more. in at
tendance. Oklahoma ran third.
At the Atlanta meeting, Prof. John
Hamilton, institute specialist, compli-
mented North Carolina and Mrs. +. L.
Stevens, formerly Of Raleigh, praised
what North Carolina is doing.
The report shows what is being done
to make home and farm inseparable
and there is an appeal, for a woman
assistant to assist IN this work of
making the home feature attractive
by lecturing over the State and get
ting in touch with the women else
where.
1t asks for the same appropriation
as it had last year. It hopes to make
even A better showing the next.

Detectives Fatigued
In Brickyard Hunt

Washington's detective and police
force is rapidly becoming fatigued from
numerous unavailing man hunts about
the brick yards in Jackson City, at the
south end of the Highway bridge.
George Jackson. alleged assailant Of
Charles Brooks, has been seen more
about the brickyards in the last few
days than Dorsey Foutz was seen after
his famous getaway.
A report came to headquarters early
this morning that Jackson had appeared
just after the big force in Virginia had
left off searching. A big detail of CEN
trail office men and policemen of the
Fourth precinct were hurried into Vir-
ginia, and spent all the early morning
in a fruitless search. The men on the
case are ready to abandon all brickyard
clues.

Emphatic denial Of the charges against

Golfers of the society, are unduly active.
is made by John P. Heap, secretary OF
the humane organization.
That our agents persecute horse
Iowners is untrue" declared Secretary
Heap today. 1T is characteristic of
human nature to antagonize when
thwarted in doing injury to other hu-
mans Or to dumb beasts. That the
agents of the humane society bring
horse owners into court for trivial mat
ters is false. No owner Is ever brought
into court unless the charge against
him has been thoroughly investigated.
Then unless a conviction Is made and a
fine imposed nothing accrues to the cof-
fers OF the humane society. These same
charges have been made before, but on
investigation by neutral parties have
fallen fiat"

At an expenditure OF more than
$4,000 the New Hampshire was re-

II is significant that orders were

oliver from the New Hampshire and
assigning him to command the Ala

detached as commander OF the Ala

New Hampshire.
A number of other officers of the
