In selecting variety of corn for
silage always use one that will ma

equal, select a variety that produces
a large fodder as the yield will be
greater
There are special ensilage varieties
such as Virginia Ensilage corn" but
before trying any of these be sure to
know whether or not it will mature
in your locality.
Corn can be planted somewhat thick

grain but not thick enough to prevent

One dairyman who has had good
success in growing corn for the silo
and puts up about 1000 tons year
says that he plants one-third more
seed for the silage corn than for the
corn grown for grain.
The amount, however, depends much
upon the variety and the conditions of
the soil.

islands in a Volcano.

The crater Of Halemaumau, Hawaii,
presents a particularly impressive
sight, for the surface of the boiling
lava supports several floating islands.
According to Mr.. Frank A. Perret,
most of the larger islands seem to
be caused by the fall of masses from
the crater wall, and some of them
last for a year or more before they
are finally melted. The phenomenon
bears a certain resemblance to the
formation and melting Of icebergs.
When the islands finally sink, the
lava surface oscillates like boiling
molasses. When one island disap-
peared. it caused a huge sausage
shaped, gas-infated bubble of black
lava-glass, no less than ITO feet long.

This goaded him to an apology. He
regretted that she was not making it
easy for him, but he forgave her be-
cause he knew she did not understand.
Because I've been so busy, please
don't think that I'm discouraged"

she replied with spirit.
Her remark hurt him both her words
and her manner of speech. 1t tore
away his reserve and made him burst
forth in protest.

been such good friends"

admitted promptly. rs there any
reason, Joe, why we should not be
now?"
His heart beat high within him at
her words. They were so direct, SO
honest, SO like the one woman of his
dreams. 1t grieved him that he could
not be as direct with her; but that
was impossible, for over them was the
sinister shadow of David Kerr. her
father, the boss of Belmont.
There's no reason why we shouldn
be good friends, Gloria. What put
that idea into your head?"

seems TO have grown smaller and
smaller"

side"
You seem to have put yourself

The conversation Jagged. There was
SO much to think about. Gloria was
seeking to reconcile his explanations
with her own observations. Looking
at him closely she saw that he did not
have that fresh, robust look which a
month ago had made him seem fit for

would also begin to look about for a

would have no difficulty in getting Clio
ria to leave Belmont. Then for the
new life with her where they could be
ever together. one in heart and hope
and happiness.
When Williams told Wright that
Judge Gilbert was ready to see him.
he opened the door and saw the law

corporations knew the value of a hand
shake and cordial greeting. 1t made

social affair
I'm so glad you came" he said to
the editor, shaking hands heartily.
Il came as soon as could" Wright
was not going to be outdone, and
therefore used his most genial tone,
although the shaking hands on his
side was perfunctory performance.
He knew Judge Gilbert's real attitude,
and undue cordially under the circum-
stances savored too much of the
Greeks bearing gifts.

When little girls go to parties, or
appear at entertainments, they need
a dressy frock, such as this one. The
dress proper is very plain, with a
little blouse, plainly gathered skirt
and bishop sleeves. But the neck may
be cut low, the sleeves shortened, and
over all the Bertha may be placed,
coming down in points to the hem Of
the dress in both front and back, and
edged with lace, or bands of ribbon.
The dress pattern (6423) is cut in
sizes a, 6, s, 10 and IL years. Medium
size requires 2% yards Of q inch ma
terial, with ~ yards of SO inch fabric
for the bertha.

have to have a storage capacity of
600 tons. Figure this out and see
which would be the cheapest.
There are many kinds of silo and
made of different materials. Con-
crete, cement, brick, tile and several
styles of wooden silo. The wood silo
is cheapest of course, but it is not so
durable as the concrete or tile.
The different styles range from So
to SIS per ton capacity for the con
crete and tile silo, while the wooden

TRANSFORMING Vegetables.

The use of machines for transplant

Every grower should know that ma

those which are planted by hand, pro-
vided the work is done with care. The
fact is that plants may be set out
more firmly by the use Of machines
than is usually done by the use Of
the hands. Again, with machines, wa

Good BEDDING a Comfort.

Good bedding not only means COM

but the saving Of q large portion of

how much more profit we get from our
animals when they are comfortable
and figure how much fertility goes out
to our fields that have shown in their
succeeding crops a grand return, we
do not hesitate to advise farmers to
use all the straw they possibly can in
bedding their animals.
