ask for her till he had met the coveted
success. He always had something
under way or finished which he hoped
would make the expected hit.
Bertha encouraged him to push on
and he would eventually reap the re.
ward of his perseverance. But, though
many of his works We're recognized by
a few as scintillations of genius, only
those Of which he himself had an in.
different opinion found their way into
print. One or two stories Of marked
originality were published and attract

when the owners Of the magazine with
which he was connected told him that
the next issue would contain a like
ness and notice of the new literary
light and that they had decided to
'boom' him.
While Gregory had been trying to
dash in upon the public by a brilliant
stroke, humble Spangler had been
slowly crawling up upon it. He pos.
sessed a homely faculty of portraying
the common events entering into the
lives of ordinary people. Having
reached a point where capital conclud-

life was the receipt of Il letter from

had never made a formal proposal for

her entering into any explanation or

she was not to marry her ideal, but
people never did that.

WHEN TO CUT MAIZE.
To Avoid Loss In Food Value Pre-
pare Silaae st Right Time.

Maize should he cut neither TOO early
nor too late for the silo. When placed
in the silo before it is mature it on
tainS much sugar, which later forms
starch. When placed III the silo while
this large amount Of sugar is present
the sugar fermentS, turns to alcohol
carbon dioXide and acids. which
means an almost total loss of the sug-
ar and sour, unpalatable, unhealthful
SillGe.
Frost burnt maize differs from un-
frosted chiefly in loss of water. Frost
ed maize therefore makes as good 81
laoe as untrosted when water is added
in making the >ilage. provided the crop
is cut before the leaves drop oft.
Maize has approximately a ton more
dry matter per acre when ripe than
when in the milk: hence to avoid great
! losses in 1uol values it should he cut
for >ila9e when it is ripe or at least in
the glazing stage.-Farm Journal.

not properly ripened.
1t is highly important to stop the
cultivation soon enough 50 that the
ground will partly dry ont, inducing
the proper ripening. If a cover crop
like cowpeas. vetch or rye is grown
it will serve the purpose Of taking out
the moisture at the end of the season
and will help the trees ~ 90 into the
