PROPER SILAGE CORN
Select Varieties That will Pro-
duce Large Fodder.
Most important Essential Is to Find
Kind That Will Mature In Your
Locality-SiIo Is Always Prof
table to Farmer.

In selecting variety of corn for
silage always use one that will ma
ture its grain. Other things being
equal, select variety that produces
a large fodder as the yield will be
greater.
There are special ensilage varieties
such as Virginia Ensilage corn" but
before trying any OF these be sure to
know whether or not 1t will mature
in your locality.
Corn can be planted somewhat thick.
or than generally used in growing
grain but not thick enough to prevent
the good ear development.
One dairyman who has had good
success In growing corn for the silo
and puts up about 1000 tons year
says that he plants one-third more
seed for the silage corn than for the
corn grown for grain.
The amount, however. depends much
upon the variety and the conditions of
the soil.
The size of the silo of course de-
pends upon the number of cattle to
be fed. 1t should never be less than
20 feet high because pressure is neces-
sary to preserve the silage.
The higher the better. A good rule
Is to have 1t twice as high as the
diameter. The following table will
show the size for given number Of
COWS for 2O0-day feeding period:

the schoolroom where Santos taught
them the art of aviation in theory.
There were forty men in all-young,
vigorous, brave and bold. When Ro-
sitta entered, followed by her hus-
band, cheer rang out: "Hurrah for
our princess!"
She walked to the platform, and her
clear voice rang through the hall:
Gentlemen" The silence was in
tense. II have called you together to
explain the situation. The American
continent has voluntarily taken from
US Europeans, children of a different
caste, different race, our most cher
ished traditions. There is not one
among you who is not pobleman.
You all know the situation and Eu-
ropes eyes rest on US. Europe is
awaiting our action to restore the old
order Of things. We have the might!
Think Of these words: We have the
might! Therefore, we have the right!
The aerodromone flotilla is my own
property. Think this over and con-
sider
rs 1t right that THAT we-should
obey orders that come from powerless
rulers? That we, the gallant aerial
feet. should consider those who are
held to the ground? That we who
have the might should obey anyone
else except the one we choose?
Gentlemen, we were all born to be
rulers, or would not have selected
you as my aviators. Gentlemen! You
must select one Of US for our COM
mander, and we will rule the worldI"
"Hurrah for the queen! Hurrah for
the queen Of the air! Hurrah for
Queen Rositta!"
How sweet that sounded to the beau
tiful woman! A tear glistened in her
eye. She ran into their arms and
kissed one after another. The last
was Santos. and he was the least en-.
thusiastic Of them ALL
Rositta, queen of the air!
This was her election. When the
enthusiasm had somewhat abated she
gave them the oath of obedience, the
oath that would be kept secret until

and brave for the queen. And she
swore to be faithful and true to her

which would be the cheapest.
There are many kinds of silo and,
made of different materials. Con-

styles of wooden silo. The wood silo
is cheapest Of course, but it Is not SO

The different styles range from 50

AS l regained my strength the old

to a porch-like structure that stood
before the house, and beheld won

away was the smoking volcano, and
several steaming geysers were spout
ing water in the air. At the foot of
the cone-like peak stood a great
church with strange statues and re-
liefs painted in vivid red. blue, yellow,
black green and white colors. The
whole reminded me of the pictures of

Rositta had acquired great skill In

enough to leave and bade my host
goodby with the promise that l would
return and bring help.
This is short recital of my doings
during the two months past, and now,
my dear Astra, will you tell ME all
that is new here?"
Napoleon had heard a few things
from Whistler in Ciryne that disquiet-
ed him, and he was anxious to know
the truth. That Astra could tell him
best Of all. So she began to relate
all the important happenings whiis
Napoleon listened attentively, making
notes from time to time. Astra spoke
OF the European decree and all the
facts that were officially communicat-
ed to her. Then she told of the news
paper rumors concerning the aerodro-
none fleet and the preparations for
war that were supposed to be occupy
Ing the time of the European rulers.
I'VE have nine days at our disposal
I will be very busy for the next few
days, but next Monday will be ready
to appear in the congress as the presi-
dent of the International peace COM
mittee."
Early next morning Napoleon COM
municated with his brother workers
In the peace committee, and then left
the capital. He spent some hours ut
work designing device to be used
on the aerodromones. With six ms
chimes, equipped with men and bar
rels, he headed for the valley OF Xiuh
that evening.
They landed In the valley the next
morning and after a peaceful negotia-
ton with the high priest they caught
large supply Of the liquid that had
put the Eagle out of commission and
returned to Ciryne. While Napoleon
analyzed the liquid his workmen made
several trips between the valley and
Ciryne. carrying the liquid away In
vast quantities.
Napoleon, after thorough examine
ton, sighed. Here is something new.
1t puzzles me, but 1t solves the Ques-
ton Of superiority In the air."
Napoleon's next move was to try
out the new swallow-type machine. II
was smaller than the Eagle, but the
wings and the tall rudder were com
paratively larger. 1t had not the
grace of the Eagle in fight, but its
speed was something Unprecedented

found every aerodromone equipped
with long tube very similar to the
old style fire extinguisher. To this
tube was connected a small automatic
gun. which protruded through a spe,
cial aperture in the body Of the aero
dromone. The lever controlling this
gun was within easy reach Of the
aeroman, and the gun itself was &C
arranged that 1t could be pointed in
any direction.
The four aerodromones that hat
been sent toward the west were re
porting every few hours. They had
seen nothing so far that was out oi
