USE ALL THE CORN.
silo Makes Available Feeding Value of
Stalk as Wei as Ear.


BY the use Of the silo and harvesting
the corn plant for silage the feeding
value of the plant is increased from
$40 to SIP per acre. 1t is estimated
that 80 per cent Of the feeding value Of
the corn plant is in the ear Of corn and
40 per cent is in the stalk.
If a field Of corn which would make
forty bushels per acre is harvested In
the usual way Of gathering the corn
and leaving the stalk stand we have
harvested only 60 per cent Of the crop
The forty bushels Of corn at 80 cents
per bushel are worth $50, but If the
stalks have two-thirds the feeding
value Of the grain the stalks are worth
from $40 to Sl2 or SIS per acre, de-
pending upon the quality of the crop
and the condition they are in when
harvested for silage.
If the stalks are left in the field they
have a feeding value Of from 81 to
$3.50 or $3.50 per acre. This decreased
value Of the eornsalk when left in
the field is due TO the fact that when
the stalk is left standing it loses its
moisture and the fiber becomes hard
woody and indigestible.
It Is therefore evident that to obtain
the maximum feeding value Of the
corn crop it should be harvested and
made into si.age and that the use Of
the silo will increase the feeding value
Of the corn plants from $40 to SD per
acre.-Roy c. POTTS, Department Of
Dairy Husbandry. Oklahoma A. and NJ.

Fertilize Your Orchard.

As neglected as the average farm

West African religion is particularly

Of whom it allots several souls, four
being the usual number. Only one Is
immortal. however. The others. though
troublesome enough during the own
er's life. cease to be at the same time
as the body. They are the shadow
soul, the dream soul and the bush soul.
One soul seems more than many Of
us can manage. but the poor African
has a bad time between the four Of
them. He never knows when some
enemy may plunge a knife into his
shadow, thus causing him to sicken
and die, or when his bush soul, which
takes the form of an animal. may rush
into danger and get hurt. and. as for
his dream soul. that ia particularly
troublesome. as 1t wanders from his
body during sleep and runs the risk Of
being caught by witch traps. When
this happens its place is often taken
by nasty stranger spirit called a
''sisa," which seems to have no other
object but to cause misfortune and
sickness to the being who forms it's
temporary habitatiOn:@
Most Of the tribes have the idea Of
an underworld after death, neither

AN OLD INDIAN LEGEND.
The sneidente That Led Up to the
Naming Of Poughkeepsie.

During the days when the Indians
etill held sway on the banks of the
Hudson there was fierce battle be-
tween the Delaware and the Pequot
tribes. The former won, and among
their captives was handsome young
Pequot brave lie was offered his life
If he would swear allegiance to the
Delawares and he branded with their
tribal mark-the turtle. He refused,
and preparations were then made to
kill him. As his enemies were on the
point of doing this young Indian girl
broke into the circle and begged for
his life. She had ut one time been
Pequot, but had been captured by the
Delawarcs and forced to join their
tribe. Her appeals were 81 touching
that the warriors were dehntng the
matter when the party was attacked
by still another enemy. the Huron In
dams. In the excitement the girl cut
her lovers bonds. but the two found
themselves In the midst Of fierce bat
tie and eventually became separated
The young warrior escaped. but the
girl was captured by Huron chief.
Determined to rescue her ut any cost.
the PequOt brave Disguised himself as
a medicine man and entered the camp
of the Hurons. BY some pretext he
gained admission to the tent where the
girl was kept prisoner, and late at
night they managed to escape in the
darkness. Their flight was soon dis
covered and pursuit began. but the
young couple reached the river far
enough in advance of their pursuers to
embark in a canoe and push off from
shore. They were still followed. but
the warrior was young and strong and
succeeded in getting his little craft
safely into cove at the junction Of
the great river and a little stream en-
tering into 1t between two high, pro
tecting banks. where they hid, and
later found a friendly tribe.

A.-Tbe writer Of this question must

twenty-five trillion miles. Write row
of units HILL. TO the star and let
each unit represent one mile; then the
distance represented by line Of is,
twenty-five trillion miles long. sub
mergcs all human powers of imagina.
ton But write row of 222222.. twen-
ty-fve trillion miles long; then the
number of miles represented would be
twice as great. Then write row Of
999099... equally long. and the distance
expressed would be nine times as great
as that represented by the is.
But no human can think Of the dis.
tance expressed by the is. Let the
first row of figures extend twenty five
trillion or fifty or thousand trillion
miles to the east: then row could be
extended toward the west. Many mil.
lions Of years would be required to
write the long rows. Suppose that
you write gs both ways during thou
sand million years each. Then the dis.
tance in miles would be thinner than
spiders thread when compared to
an infinite distance.
There are possibly fifty persons now
living able to think one new thought
They are the mighty of the earth, and
are all transcendent mathematicians.
Not one Of these even tries to begin to
think Of infinity or eternity. They all
know better. Only the superficial

CURIOUS HERMIT CRABS.

They Keep Housemaids, and Also Use
Sponses For Protection.
1t has been said that crabs are as
artful as "a barrow load of monkeys
and no one who has read Professor
Edward Steps "Messmates; A Book Of
Strange Companionships In Nature
will deny that there is considerable
truth in the remark. Amazing indeed
are some of the revelations which the
professor makes regarding crabs.
He relates. for instance. how the
common hermit crab actually keeps
hOusemaid to clean out his house.
When he first starts life this particu-
lar species Of crab hunts for some large
shell6sh's shell In which he can live
at ease, rent free. He usually chooses
a large whelk shell and introduces q
large seaworm. belonging to what is
known as the "nereis" family and
which grows to a length Of six OF
eight inches. to keep the interior OF
the shell clean. The crab feeds hearti-
ly on sea creatures that wander care
lessly into the shell and throws the In
.digestible parts Of them about the
door. The nereis worm promptly con
sumes these remains and keeps the
shell as clean as new pin.
The artfulness Of this crab. too, If
strikingly illustrated by the ingenious
manner In which he protects himself
against the large fish which look upon
him as an excellent article Of food.
Sometimes he induces sponge to
grow on his shell. SpOnges in living
condition give out a strong odOr, which
is distinctly unpleasant to fish, and
even a dogfsh will not attack crab
protected in this manner.

THE HOME, OR THE STREETq

There is a mode of life among some of the people in our larger cities that is being aped to some extent in our smaller ones. It is a habit of eating in public, talk ing loudly and seeking attention overdressing in cost and under. dressing in modesty, scoffing at conservative conduct, sleeping in house and living all over town. getting more fun outof spending than out of earning, living each day as though there were no t O. morrow.
 In men it makes them abandon temperance for excess, speculate instead of invest, want to make more so they can spend more. wish to get rich quickly instead of acquire competence surely. to esteem notoriety above reputa tion, to live, in the world instead of in the home. In women it makes them disdain the nobility of motherhood and the duties of the housewife, to look upon mar riage not as an institution but as a qualification, to put beauty of appearance above beauty of char acter, to mistake excitement for pleasure. In both it makes sel fish supreme and aids the immor- al and inspires the extravagent.
 It is tendency to be combatt- ed both in ourselves and in those whose we'll being we hold dear. And it is best combatted by that institution known as the home, The more attractive the home the less attractive the street. The greater the home influence, the less the influence of h e world. The more comfort, the less desire for luxury.
 If you could trace the lure of the lights to it's source you would find it in part at least in the rent ed house, the home that is occu- pied without the sense of propri- etorship or permanence, t h e home that is physical conven- fence instead of a mental refuge.
 The real home, the home that will keep the daughter out of the cafe and the son out of the re- sort, is the home that is owned. And the father who builds d home builds more than a house he builds character in his child. ren and competence in his age. He makes himself happier, his children better, his town bigger and brighter. He performs a greater service to the world than the statesman or the warrior and a greater service to himself than he can in any other way.
