A recent fatal accident in Ohio calls
attention to danger to farmers which
cannot be too widely circulated. Since
1875, when the first American silo was
built by DR.. Manley Miles, this method
of preserving forage for livestock has
been generally adopted. Although the
Department of Agriculture has fire.
quently called attention to the danger
of carbon dioxide gas accommodating in
silos undes certain conditions, no ia
talities have been reported heretofore.
On the morning of September IS, four
workmen on the farm of the Athens
(Ohio) State Hospital, assembled the
ladder on the outside of a silo to an
open door about twelve feet from the
top and jumped down one after another
onto the silage. the top of which was
about six feet below the door. About
five minutes after, two other workmen
following them found them unconscious.
Although large force of workmen
were immediately summoned and the
bodies of the four men removed at
once through lower door, the physi-
clans of the hospital who were at once
on the ground were unable to resusci-
tate any of the four men. Evidently
the carbon dioxide gas had accumulated
during the night, filling the silo up to
the level of the door and forming a
layer of carbon dioxide gas six feet
deep. Such accidents, says "The Jour-
nal of the American Medical Associa-
ton" might easily be repeated on any
modern farm. Agricultural journals
should call the attention of the farmers
to this danger and should urge that ST.
los be carefully ventilated before being
entered

A South Carolina pastor in setting
forth the results of revival in his
church says: "Men and women all
over town were stricken with convic-
ton and were seen going around pay
ing up old debts and confessing their
wrongs" Noting this statement, Bro.
Nettles, the editor of the paper in
which this appeared, interjects the re-
mark: 1--WE are sorry it did not reach
to indebtedness to the Advocate" Our
confrere here puts his finger on one of
the weak spots of many people. One
of the strange things in the world is
how so many persons who claim to be
Christians can read paper all the
year and then permit its publisher to
discontinue it without paving what is
due on it. We scarcely think that
such type of honesty will pass mus
ter at the bar of the general judgment.
