An agent for an anti-cigaretts society
called on Principal O'0rady At one Of
the east side schools and lIgr sstsd that
the boys enlist In his society. The prin-

didn't believe his pupils smoked.
To bear out his statement the school
head called to a group Of youngsters
and asked how many smoked.
Each one In turn replied that he
wouldn't think Of pulling on . cigar

Finally the principal called one boy
out Of line and asked him why he
didn't smoke.
"Oh. It's bad for my WIND" was the
answer that came back quick a. Q

Filling the SilO.

the grain is dented and glazed
but still soft enough to be broken
with the thumb nail. At this
stage the lower leaves of the
plant and the outside of the
shuck will have turned brown
and the corn is practically ma
tured but still contains mois-
ture enough to pack well in the
silo.
1t is doubtful if there is any
place on the upland of Missouri
where the condition OF this years
corn crop is anything like the
normal. This makes it difficult
TO say this year just what is the
right stage to cut the corn in.
tended for silage. The Missouri
College gives the following dir
sctions for filling silos. The
best practice to follow is to allow
the ear to mature as much as
possible and at the same time re-
tain enough moisture in the
plant to allow the corn to pack
well in the silo. In some Sec
tions the corn will have to be
cut when in the last milk stage.
In other sections the rain will
probably revive the corn SO that
it can be permitted to stand i'll
the field and become more ma
ture. Where a good water sup
ply is available the corn can be
cut later than otherwise and wet
as it is being put in the silo by
turning a stream of water in the
blower. However, it is not wise
to depend too much upon this
method of adding moisture to the
silage. 1t frequently happens
that farmers put in corn that is
too ripe and 10 not add enough
water. The result is moldy sill
age. There is very little danger
of adding too much water.
Before filling the silo the walls
should be swept clean. If it is a
stave silo the hoops should be
tightened. 1t viii generally be
necessary to loosen them little
as the slaves take up moisture
and swell. The corn should be
cut in one half or two inch
lengths. 1t should be well
tramped. AT a time like this
when the corn is liable to be
very dry not less than two men
should be in the si.o at all times,
They should keep the silage
higher at the walls than in the
center and should continually
tramp it next to the wall. The
center will settle by itself. Many
people had moldy silage last
year because they did not tramp
it tight enough to keep the air
out. Furthermore, the silage
will not settle as much while fer
menting if it iStightly packed as
it is put in the silo.
The silsge will settle consider
ably the first few days while it is
fermenting most rapidly. If
possible it should be refilled after
this settling stops. When filling
is completed 1t is well to run in a
few loade of weeds on top of the
corn. The weeds will rot and
seal over the top partly prevent
ing air from reaching the silage
and eliminating some of the US.
usl waste OF rotten silsge. The
silage should be tramped especi-
ally at the walls of the silo at
least once a day during the first
week after filling. This helps to
seal the silo tightly and prevents
some Of the spoilage OF the top
layer Of the silage.
