The SiIO a Means
Of Grace.

Silage, good silage, sweet 81
lage, silage made in a good silo,
made from corn matured and
we'll tramped down and well
watered, if necessary, is grateful
to the COW to the steer, to the
calf, and in small amounts to the
horse, to the sheep and even to
the chickens. 1t is a means Of
material physical upbuilding, of
efficiency, whether in putting
flesh on the bones, fat on the
ribs, or milk in the pail. This
is all the grace that the animal
knows about. 1t accepts it as an
expression of the favor of the
farmer, a sort of spiritual bond
between the owner and his live
stock, an expression of goodwill
which means money in the bank,
comfort and satisfaction in farm
ing, and the evidence of high
er type of farming and a better
life in the country. Such is si-
lage to about everything on the
farm that walks on four legs.
1t is the silo itself, and not the
silage, that is a means of grace
to the farmer. Singularly enough
this benefit to the farmer grows
out of what he thinks is the
greatest objection to it, even as
our Affections and difficulties, If
rightly met, are the most eth-
Gent means of intellectual, spir-
itual and physical development.
When a farmer thinks of put
ting up silo, he is apt to be
surprised at the cost, not OF the
material itself but Of the labor
in putting it up, and even more
SO at the cost of the silage cutter
and power to run it. When he
has mastered this difficulty, then
comes an even worse trouble, and
that is the help that is necessary
to get it filed promptly.
We are rather glad of all this,
because it is this very expensive
ness that makes it a means OF
grace to the farmer. He is in a
measure compelled to avoid the
expense, or as much of it as pos
sible, To do this, he resorts to
cooperation with other farmers,
so that they may share the ex-
ueuse with him. AS one large
silage cutter and one gasoline
engine of about twenty to twenty
four horse power will do the work
Of three or four farmers, he is in
a measure forced into cooperation
with his neighbors.
, We have never known men in
any part of the world to cooper
ate until experience forced them
to do so; even as we have known
few men to do much of anything
worth while until come kind of
force from outside brought out
and developed the best that was
In them. The introduction OF
the silo has given avast impetus
to the cooperative movement in
the west. Men are beginning to
see that the same gasoline en-
CINE will fill all.the silos In the
immediate neighborhOOd, will
run a small threshing machine
will run a hay baler, will cut all
the wood in the neighborhood,
will grind the corn and cob msal;
! in short, will be a labor saver
both in the house and in the
field. II is for this reason that
we have called the silo a means
of grace to the farmer, as well as
a means Of growth and subse-
qusut profit to all the live stock
on the farm.
We have been thinking for the
last hour or two of the losses in

Father as Commissary.

We have an example of this in
the rather general continuance to
the present time of the primitive
habit of looking upon the father
as the domestic commissary,
and of considering that the obIi-
cations with which he has been
especially charged have been full
filled when his children have had
furnished them all that is requir-
ed by their creature necessities
housing, clothing and food.
He is reckoned a dutiful father
if he keeps up the house and
leaves it TO the mother and her
proxies TO furnish education,
morals, religion and all the finer
accessories; he to take care of the
child as an animal. and she to
look after him as person.
Without raising the question as
to whether exclusive maternal in
fluence will suffice for the sue
cessful upbringing of a family of
girls, it is distinctly insufficient
for the development of young
masculine nature. There is a GER
tain personal quality inherent in
the normal man-but of which the
normal woman is destitute-and
without which no male child can
become a perfectly constituted
man: so that if he be submitted
exclusively 10 maternal treat
ment, he has small chance of
achieving an ideal manhood.
OF course, there are mannish
women-a species of human freak
with which our generation is be-
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-07-19

W THAT is the extent of the
w parental obligation which
father owes to his
children? The question deserves
consideration because of it's close
bearing upon the purpose of do
nestle life, which is to produce
children and make them service
able to the interests of their
times.
1t has been pointed out that the
terms father" and feeder" are
but variable forms of one and the
same word. SO understood, the
father is merely the one who pro-
visions the family and stands to
it in the relation of commissary.
In the more primitive forms of
familyhood, when increasing the
human breed, rather than improv-
ing it, met all recognized require
ments, nothing more would nat
urally be demanded of the father
than that the young Of the family,
like the young of the flock and
herd, should be amply supplied
with what will sustain life and
promote growth. So that the
faithful father would simply be
he who was the attentive feeder,
with no responsibility that looked
beyond what the children need
ed as young and growing ami
mails.
1t is one of the features of more
finished civilization that in some
respects it continues to cherish
customs and modes of thinking
and feeling inherent in civiliza-
ton of a more primitive type. but
which we should suppose would
have been outgrown and left be-
hind with the process of time and
the broadening and mellowing of
sentiment.

ing made painfully familiar-but
freaks play no part in the econo-
my of nature. Mannishness is a
cheap counterfeit of manliness
and can not render to the boy the
office of masculine genuineness.
There is a certain special type
Of robustness and stability which
the lad will gain by social con-
tact with the father which only
in rare instances will he acquire
from his mother; and the unfor-
tunate feature of our family life
at present is that the father, as a
rule, is so engaged and engrossed
with what lies outside of the real
inner life Of the home that con-
tact between father and son is re-
duced to a minimum.
Twofoldness of Percentage.
The twofoldness Of parentage
answers to the twin energies in
nature by which its sterner and
gentler forces combine with each
other in the production Of the
finest forms of vegetable and ami
NAL life. The idea Of duality runs
through everything.
Everywhere there is the ball
ancing and the cooperation OF
complementary forces.
The mother makes her contri-
button to the developing character
of the child, a contribution full of
wealth and tenderness. without
which the lad, as he comes into
mature years, would be destitute
of charm and incapable of the
finest effects of personality. But
underneath the materially con-
ferred graces Of character, and
sustaining them, there requires to
be a foundation made out Of
sterner stuff, exactly as the tree
is unable to achieve the purposes
Of its existence by virtue of the
foliage with which it is clad or
the blossoms by which it is deco
rated except by the solidity Of
its anchorage in the firm soil in
which it is planted.
Family life as it is maintained
in these hurried days of business
engrossment is such that fathers
and their boys in hosts of cases,
hardly know each other.
The Withholding of paternal in
fiuence is bound to leave it's mark
in the one-sided development of
the boy; and it does leave its
mark.
Masculine Impress Necessary.
The young fellow, as he leaves
the warm home nest, commits
himself to flight that lacks the
sustaining power which can be
secured only by the impress upon
him of what is definitely and dis
tinctly masculine.
1t lies in the order of nature:
beauty combined with stamina,
grace married into grit.
We might go on and say that
boyhood, and therefore manhood
is suffering from the fact that so
much of our schoolroom training
is furnished by women; but that
would carry us into too wide a
field.
In all the serious matters Of life
our only safe way is to keep close
to the intentions of nature. The
character of the individual de-
ponds upon it and so does the
quality of civilization.
