 Cutter for Silage.
 There are on the market several makes of silage cutters that will give satisfaction, according to Farmers Bulletin 57S, issued by U. S. Depart. ment of Agriculture The capacity of the machine is an important ccnsid- txyht chnnld ba nVPT- Booked by the purchaser. Many per Aons make the mistake of getting cutter which Is too small, thus ma king the operation of filling the silo very slow and interfering with the continuous employment of the entire force of men.
 It is better to get a machine large enough so that every one will be able to keep busy all the time. The larger cutters are equipped with self-feeders, a labor-saving device which the small Ter sizes lack. Other factors to be taken into account in purchasing a cutter are the amount of work to bS done and the power available. Ot course, for the filling of a very small silo it would not be wise to buy 8 large machine. Neither would it be advisable to overload the engine or motor by using cutter which is too large for the power available.
 Two types of silage elevators are in us-the old-style chain carrier and the blower. The chain carrier re- quires less power. but Is harder to set up and there is more litter when 1t is used. especially in windy weather. For these reasons the blower Is now fast displacing the carrier.
 The blower should be placed as nearly perpendicular as possible so as. to reduce to the minimum the friction of the cut corn upon the inside of the pipe and lessen the danger of clog ging.
 The usual length of cutting varies from one-half to inch. The latter is considered a little too long, since pieces of this length will neither pack so closely in the silo nor be so com pletelv consumed when fed as the shorter lengths On the other hand. the longer the pieces the more rapidly csn the corn be run through the cs.> ter

Fer maintaining or restoring the fertility of the fields there is nothing becer than harnyard manure. By The ordinary methods of piling manure on the ground or storing 1t in wooden pens or boxes, 80 to 50 per cent of it's fertility is lost, according to the Y. S. Department of Agriculture. Thts JOSS is brought about in two ways: First, by teaching or washing due to heavy rains second, by fer uentation or heating caused by lack of sufficient moisture. Since concrete pits are waterproof, manure may be kept in them as moist as may be necessary and such an enormous waste in the fertility of the manure may thus be entirely prevented. One load of manure from a concrete pit is worth 11a to loads of manure as usually stored. Moreover, with con crete pits the supply of manure is increased by all the liquid manure, the richest part. from the barn gut ters and feeding floors.
 Shallow manure pits do very well where the manure can be frequently hauled to the fields The walls and floor should be inches thick. The clear dimensions of the pit are: Depth, feet; width, 6 feet; length, 12 feet Dig the trench feet inches deep by feet 10 inches by 12 feet 10 inches. By keeping the sides yer tical only an inside form will be needed. Frame the sides and ends separately. For the sides cut the 1-inch siding 12 feet long and nail it to the four by inch uprights 3 feet long and equally spaced. The end uprights for the sides are 2 by 1 inch pieces nailed fiat to the siding; the others are also by but are nailed on edge. It is not necessary to cut these uprishts to exact lengths; they may be allowed to extend above the siding. Make the siding for the end sections of the form feet 2 inches aong and at the ends nail it to the edge of two 2 by inch uprights. Place a single by upright between each end pair. Cut four cross braces, to 10 inches long, from by inch timbers. Have enough sections or woven-wire fencing, 715 feet long, to cover the bottom of the pit.
 Set up the forms on the finished floor so as to allow 5-inch wall on all sides. Join them by mailing to- gether che by As at the corners of the sides and ends. Do not drive the nails home Cross-brace with by AS and with 1-inch boards from each cen tral end upright to the second side up- right.
 Quickly begin filling the forms with concrete almost wet enough to pour, and keep it practically the same height on ali sides. Puddle the con crete by running long paddle up and down next to the form. Do not punch the earthen wall. Dirt In the concrete may make a poor wall. AT the top of the earthen wall tends eR

Twelve-lnch Gun ExplOdes
During Test of Powder at
Sandy Hook; Officer Hurt

NEW YORK, March 10.-Unable to
withstand the energy of new pow
der, 12-inch gun at the Sandy Hook
proving grounds exploded today,
sending its 1000 pound breech block
through a thick concrete wall, while
part of the barrel was hurled half
mile out to sea. Lieutenant Charles
PCndleton. who with eighteen men
had taken cover In a shelter trench
of which the concrete wall was n
part, received slight cuts about the
leg by a fragment of steel, but was
able to leave the hospital after medi-
cal attention had been given him.
Several of the men were thrown from
a wooden platform on which they
were standing, but escaped injury.
In compliance with a rule that at
first test shots the crew of the gun
must seek shelter. the officers and
men entered the shelter trench in the
rear Of the piece before the gun was
fired. A tremendous roar followed
the explosion of the charge, and while
the block crashed through the con-
crete wall and part of the muzzle
sped out to sea, smaller fragments
of steel went inland, one of them
landing a mile away near q wireless
station.
The tests were being made under
the supervision of Colonel Edwin b.

Protests Against Plundering
of Antiquities of China

NEW YORK. March 10.-In a
monograph called "Plunder and De-
struction of Antiquities in China" the
Asiatic Institute of New York calls
attention to the vandalism that has
appeared in China by which she is
| being ruthlessly plundered of her
antiquities.
The statement places the RESPONSE
bility for this situation on the de-
velopment of the present European
museum and collecting system. 1t
constitutes an appeal to nations and
organizations to call a halt in this
widespread plumber. often involving
bloodshed, in the interests of science
and Of fair play for China and her
coming generations.
The monograph contains private,
official and public papers. It voices
China's protests thus:
THE Asiatic Institute has received
Chinese protests dating back six
years, emphasizing Chinese adherence
of the European system. whose prae
tises have now invaded China. These
practises are widespread pillaging of
temples and sacred places of the dead
and other ancient works i'm Africa and
throughout Asia, in the name of su
perior civilization. punitive warfare,
science or other subterfuge. They
protest against the introduction into
China Of a foreign conception of time,
OF science and of history by newer
nations whose sense of antiquity as
peculiarly eXemplitied i'm their
museum system enables them to par
tieipate in and foster the destruction
and robbery of holy things
In a statement made to the Asso-
ciated Press the secretary of the
Asiatic Institute says: "All signs
seem to indicate that depredations
have commenced upon the archaeolog-
zeal and art wealth of China to an
extent even greater than the vandal-
ism with which Europe visited the
art and beauty of the shores of the
Mediterranean. The market for Chi
nese antiquities, particularly sculp-
lures, came with the close of the
Japanese war, but no nation
bears the stigma of being chief vandal
in China. The market is an interna-
tional one, and has been developed
under japanese and European direc-
ton with Paris as headquarters.
The Asiatie Institute emphasizes
the fact that this plundering of
China is a peculiar crime since it will
complete European civilization s
sroliation of the whole chain of an
cient. civilizations and will destroy
hope Of a consciousness in Western
civilization of such evil"

Daughters of Isabella
Lose Point in Test Case

NEW YORK, March 10.-Miss Mary
Z. Patchen, the Bay Ridge woman
undertaken, and her friends in the
disrupted Court of Our Lady of
Peace, No. 81, National Order of the
Daughters of Isabella, have won an
other victory in their fight against

that sought to "reorganize'' the court

friends know anything about it,
In decision filed this week Su-
preme Court Justice Crane, who
heard testimony in the controversy,
says that Miss Patchen and the 9TH
ers who were ousted from the court
have a remedy in mandamus pro-
ceedings, because she and her sister
members We're ousted without due
notice and a proper hearing.
In long opinion, Justice Crane
says the members could not be eX-

cause of their property rights in the

was unfair for the board of directors
to expect Miss Patchen to go all the

viously denied her reinstatement on
the ground that she had not exhaust

for American Commerce

NEW YORK, March 10.-William
C. Redfield, secretary of commerce
in President Wilson's cabinet, out
lined before the Brooklyn Institute
of Arts and Sciences last night a
plan under which he said il would

Mr.. Redfield asserted that the worst
days for American commerce upon

The only two nations which Mr.. Red
field credited with having greater
foreign commerce than the United
states were Great Britain and Ger
many. lie said that, while the COM
inercc of these two nations was
standing still, or growing at a very

states was overhauling them rapidly.

ExsMineOla Jail Keeper,
Arrested in Newark, Held
in $4,000 Bail for Trial

MINEOLA, L. l., March i0.-Lena
Newman, now q private in the Saliva
ton Army. was one of the witnesses
who appeared before the Nassau coun-
tv grand Jury yesterday in connection
with the investigation now being made
into the conduct of the keepers and
prisoners of the Nassau county jail
Former Warden Winfield Box and
former keepers William Clifford, who
was arrested in Newark. y, j., while
attending a funeral; Richard Miller,
Miles Rhodes and John C. Conrad have
been indicted on charges that orgies
went ON in the Jail. Clifford was ar
raigned yesterday and held in $4,000
bail.
Miss Newman was a prisoner in the
1ail last fall, charged with attempting
suicide. She had had an unhappy
love affair. she said, so she tried to
drown herself in a swamp in Nassau
county. She told the grand jury of
the conduct toward her of Keeper
Conrad. who is under indictment but
not under arrest and of Miller, who is
out on bail. Miss Newman was able
to corroborate a good deal of the testi-
mony given by the other women pris
oners, Laura Meyers and her mother,
Mrs, Jennie Foster, and Annie Quinn,
all of whom said that the indicted men
had miStreated them.
Another witness was Belle Morris,
negress, who corroborated testimony
given by the other women and mar
rated a few anecdotes all her own.
One of the mysteries of the present
investigation is the carelessness of the
authorities as to the whereabouts of
Ralph Jacoby, who was a prisoner
closely concerned in the afiidaVits of
the women complainants
