JUST SAVED THE SITUATION
British RoyaIty's Narrow Escape From
What Might Be Called "Simpiy
Awful" Position.

When truth gets a fair inning she
rarely fails to be much funnier than
fiction. Strange to say, old England,
where truth is supposed to be always
dismally sober, now and then makes
quite a merry record. A rector of the
Church of England, in a remote par
ish in Wiltshire, recently discovered
among his Pensioners a fine old fig
r of a woman, age n hundred and
four, the widow of an %innkeeper. This
ancient dame has eight sons living,
six of whom have served in either the
army or the navy. The rector wrote
informing King George of these things,
and the king ordered a warm congrat-
ulatory telegram to be sent to her.
Just as the telegram was sent off.
the rector having received additional
testimony concerning the "old un,"
wrote again, explaining that she had
been twice divorced, and had not gone
through the marriage ceremony at all
with-the mar of her latest household.
Another wire was promptly set at
work at the kings command, ordering
the postmaster at the other end to
stop delivery of the royal %congratu-
l%ations, and that functionary had
barely time to grab the coattails of the
messenger with the bicycle as he was
about to make delivery.

size Of sllo to suild.

The size of the silo to build depends
upon the number of animals to be fed
As q rule, the mistake is made OF
building the silo too large in diameter
rather than too small. The silo should
be small enough SO that the animals
will consume a quantity each day
equal to a layer Of at least two inches
over the entire surface, Silage keeps
better in a deep silo than in a shallow
one, because 1t is more firmly packed
and at the same time more feed can
be stored In the same space.
Except with a very large herd 1t is
not advisable to build a silo more than
JIG feet in diameter. IL more capacity
Is needed a second silo should be con
structed. As a rule the height Of the
silo should be at least twice the diam
eter.
After the silo is opened silage
should be taken out regularly. Other
wise that which is exposed to the all

Preventing Erosion
Tile Drainage, Surface Ditching and Proper
Turning Under of Furrow Wi Aid
By c E LoAhF Instructor in Aponomy College Of AsduLme University of Missouri

In the gently rolling to severely
broken country of Missouri, heavy
rains are bound to remove some of
the best of the soil. leaving the heav-
ser, sander material which is always
poorer in quality. This process of
washing away the finer, rich soil in
gradients is called erosion. All soils
are composed of clay, silt and sand
particles mixed with organic matter.
Clay and silt are both easily removed
by the washing of the rains. Unfor-
tunately, these two soil constituents
contain the bulk of the essential plant
foods, phosphorus, potassium and nj
trogen.
The cultivation of soil by mar is an
unnatural condition. Nature protects
rolling or billy land by a mat of grass
with a network of fine rootlets which

turned under there is little wash as
compared with the following years.
Soil kept rich in organic matter re-
sists the ravages of surface water.
In preparing hillsides for corn, the
blowing should always be done par
allel with the contour of the hill. AS
Flowing is done in the fall, the land
should be left in the rough over win
ter. Dead burrows should lge placed
SO that they lead to a soddec strip or
ravlne at the end of the field, thus
they will be effective drains and deep
cutting during the spring torrents will
be prevented.
When corn is checked. the first cul.
tivation should be up the hill, so that
later plowings will have burrows per-
hitting drainage with the contour. On
the more gently rolling land, where

'enmesh the soil particles. Often the
%steepest slopes support timber growth,
the dead leaves of which provide a
blanket of spongy material which has
the ability to drink in a great deal Of
water.
1t is perfectly practical to cultivate
rolling lands and maintain a reserve
fund Of fertility if the ways Of nature
are initiated as far as possible. Steep
hilIsides should be kept in a perma-
nent pasture. Very broken land, should
be kept in grass Whenever feasible. AS
q rule, even in the toughest country,
there are few farms which do not have
considerable level strips. These fats
should be utilized for the titled crops.
AT the same time the hillsides may
be put in corr once in four years, as
the first year after the sod has been

blowing must be practiced more fire.
~quently, it is often advisable to have a
cover crop. such as rye, on the land
over winter.
New land does not wash as does the
older cultivated soil, because the or
ganic matter binds the mineral grains
together. Retaining the organic con.
tent of soil indirectly prevents erosion
Where little precaution is taken in
this regard it has been estimated that
the loss to the soil by erosion is as
much as one-tenth of an inch of sur
face soil in four years. This means
a great loss of plant food.
By diligent practice OF these sug.
gestions the reserve fund of fertility
will be kept permanent and the uni
formity of the field will make farming
operations less difficult to handle.

c~uItivatIna Corn.

Usually the cultivation OF corn
should begin nv narrowing lightly be-
fore the corn comes up, or at least
once or twice before the corn is large
enough to cultivate with a cultivator.
This is an especially good practice If
planting has been followed by a rain
that has packed the soil and caused
q crust to form OF top through which
the plants cannot break. Early har-
rowing will also conserve moisture by
stirring the top soil, kill the weeds
and grasses which have started, and
throw out more seed to sprout and be
killed by later cultivation. An ordi-
nary spikestooth harrow or weeder Is
best adopted to this work.
IL conditions will permit, it is well
to harrow nee before the, corn Is up
and again before 1t Is large enough to
cultivate in the ordinary way. When
the corn is large enough to cultivate,
it should be Dlowed fairly deep and
close the first blowing, SO as to kill
all grass and weeds that may have es-
capped the harrow Get the field
cleaned out as early as possible, : ~

gowns is not crushed by them, they
are easily slipped on or off, and they

they are prone TO become wrinkled
and must be occasionally dampened
aud pressed with a warm iron. u is
said the most satisfactory way to
dampen a taffeta garment is to hang
it near an open window or door ON a
rainy day and allow 1t to pick up
moisture from the air. It should be
pressed under a thin clean cloth.
The three views given of the coat

lines of the garment and may be
taken as a criterion In the matter Of
shaping the popular summer coats Of

Missouri for last year was 2S6 pounds
Of lint cotton an acre. Although very
few people are trying to improve the
cotton crop, our natural advantages
are such that we produced higher
yields than any other state, with the
exception of California, where the
most improved methods are used. The
production there last year was a bale
to the acre.
Each locality should grow one kind
of cotton and the farmers should co.
operate in the marketing of their crop.
With proper farming practices, cot
ton is probably the least exhaustive
of any Of our farm crops. Duggar esti-
mates that where only the lime is re-
moved from the land only AZ cents
worth Of fertility is lost when a bale
of cotton is sold. The seed is very
rich in nitrogen. After the oil is ex-
PEELED the c~ottonseed cake should be

One Of the richest sections in the
cotton belt is found in the sandy loan
Mississippi bottoms OF southeast Mis-
souri,. In 1911 the production reached
about 100, 900 bales Of cotton, with an
approximate value Of S5,000,0 900 to
$6,000,000. There are 100 gins to han
die the crop and four large oil mills
to crush the seed. The seed in 1911
amounted to $4,000 tons, yielding
1,500,000 gallons of oil and over 10000
ions Of cottonseed cake.

10000 bales for 1918. This produc-
