hog comes out OF his hole on Feb. 2
and sees his shadow, but what does it

at you?
That is what Nick Dippong. labor

Nick was employed on an excava-
ton job at 80 Monroe avenue. He un-
covered small tile and broke it
open with his pick.

Other workmen decided Nick's ac.

EXCELLENT METHOD
OF FILLING A SIlO
There Is Greater Danger Of Put.

Than Too Moist.
tBy WALTER B. LEUTZ,)

Corn Is ready to be cut for silage
when the grain is in the dent and
glazed. but can still be broken with
the thumb nail. At this stage. under
normal conditions. the two or three
bottom leaves will be turning brown
and the shuck will be turning yellow
at the end. There is greater danger

than too moist In a stave silo tho
slaves should be frightened up to ex-
clude the air and generally loosened a
little after the silage swells the staves
The inside wall of a concrete silo
should be washed with thin mixture
OF cement and water every two or
three years. This fills the pores and
keeps the air from the silage
1t will take at least six teams to
keep the average silage cutter busy.
Corn should not be cut down too far
ahead or 1t will dry out too much.
Two men should work in the silo dis
trtbuting the silage with forks. Where
silage distributor is used one man Is
sunicient. They should keep the silags
higher at the walls than In the center
and should continually tramp the sill
age next to the walls. The tranping
is especially to keep out the air. When
possible allow the machine to stand
two or three days and refill to make
use OF all the capacity. Finish filling
the silo by running in load of grass
or weeds. This will rot and seal the
top and prevent having to throw out
the same amount of spoiled silage
The silage should feel wet after It
Is cut in the silo. II the corn is very,
mature when cut. and Is therefore too
dry. add water. A small stream may
be run into the blower from a barrel
or tank. 1t is especially important
that the silage be well tramped. The
blower should be run few minutes
every morning In order to clear the
atmosphere before any one enters tho
