How the Farmers Daughter
May Earn Pin Money

A lady in Richmond, Va, h a
made a national reputation put
ting up and selling "pin money
pickles." She began a few years
ago in a very modest way, Blu t
now her products are SO popular
that they can be found nearly
everywhere in the United States.
Another woman in Washington, d.
c., has built up a business making
chowchOw, for which she gets So
a gallon.
These are only samples of what
hundreds of young women have
done to earn pin money by putting
up canned goods at home. Peo-
pie are continually demanding a
better quality of canned goods
and are willing to pay a better
price for them. The farmers dau-
ghter who desires to earn pin
money may avail herself of this
demand and with care and perse-
verance learn to put up canned
goods that she may sell at a pro-
fit. Those who are interested in
such a project may obtain detailed
instructions on canning in Farmers
Bulletin 521 of the United States
Department of Agriculture, which
will be sent free of charge to the
applicant.

SIL0 AND SlLAGE SUGGESTIONS

With the prospect for feed prices
being high for the coming year,
every effort should be made to
secure the corn crop in the best
possible manner.
Farmers having silos are most
fortunate in that they will be re-
lieved from the difficulty of shock
ing corn that has been badly twist
ed and br ken down by wind storms
and in being able to store the corn
corn crop where it can be most
conveniently and economically ut
tilted. The silo makes it COM
paratively easy for the farmer to
secure his corn crop in the best
possible manner.
There are, however, a few rules
which should be carefully observ-
Important:
Do not be in too great a hurry
to cut the corn. When more near
ly matured the stalks contain a
greater amount Oh IG6Us
Begin cutting when a majority of
the ears are nicely glazed and the
crop is ordinarily about ready to
be put into the shock. Only when
corn is hurt by frost or badly
burned by drought should it be
cut sooner for silage. Other
wise, it is better to let it become
over ripe and add water while it
is being run into the silo than to
cut it before it has ripened suffi-
GENTLY. Where it is necessary to
add water it can be done convent
emily by running it, by means Of
an inch pipe, into the blower, or
into the carrier during the time
Of filling.
Properly distribute and thOrogh-
ly tramp the cut corn as it is run
into the silo. The surface Of the
corn in the silo during the pro-
cess of filling should be kept
slightly higher and most thorough
ly tramped at the edges where the
friction of the wall tends to pre-
vent it's settling as fast as it set
ties in the center. This practice
m axes the silage of uni
form character, tends to insure
against loss by mold and also in
sures a greater amount of corn be-
ing put into the silo. For week
after the silo has been filled, the
the surface should be thoroughly
tramped at sufficient intervals to
keep it we'll packed which will pre-
vent loss from the top of the silo
when it is opened.
Until the heating and fermenta-
ton of the silage is over, the silo
should be well ventilated.
Cutting stalks in one-half inch
lengths insures the greatest
amount of silage being eaten by the
COWS as they otherwise refuse and
waste the coarser portion OF the
stalks.

It was our privilege, not greatly
appreciated at the time, to be in
Germany from July % to August
18. and to see that prosperous
garden spot of Europe, With it's in
dustrious people, changed over
night into war garrison Of seeth-
ing, desperate humanity, prepar.

brought panic to the people OF

By Friday all kilograms IN d
telephone messages w n

was cut off, for Russia had given
no answer to the Kaiser's ultima

a bomb from an areoplane in t Q
Luxembourg. Therefore Germany
was in a state of war against both
of these nations. Communications
with other countries also were I'M
certain. All must be written in
German, or in open letters for
censorship.
On Saturday night the cathe-
dral bell tolled the declaration of
war. To some it meant immediate
departure, without time for taking
leave of their families-to on

of her seven sons.
Every German soldier is pro-
vided with a card telling the day
when and the fort where he must

Using. He has appeared here once
before in his famous lecture "Acres
of Diamonds" He is at present

make a spectacular front: Goodnight!

you only had to look like 1t. A typical

made man talk of his little cubby-
hole on the fifth floor Of tenement as
my apartments.' 1t made him put up
a front, as near to a millionaire's as
he could initiate, and he'd live on pork
and beans. In other words. the New
York point OF view was calculated to
make everybody and everything look
like money, and that was all anybody
ever looked for there at that time.
"A young man would come from the
hinterland to New York and get job,
and for the first few weeks he'd go
along his way as young man should
go who expected to be the boss some
day. He'd go home at night and sleep,
and he'd save little money. But
soon the bug would start working on
him. The first symptom would show
in his buying cane and discovering
Broadway. The next downward step
would be learning to eat spaghetti In
Italian restaurants. After that the
rest was simple. The young man
would go home in the evening, but
only to change his collar and get his
stick. Sometimes he would eat and

mans soul craved. After that he'd go
home and feel that the day had not
been misspent.
by this time If you ever asked him
II he hadn't come from Oskaloosa, or
Chicago. or some other American city
he'd be ready to fight He was New
Yorker by this time, and II he got as
far as Coney Island he thought he was
travelling. And with this we close the
book on young but misspent life.
For nobody ever recovered after the
bug had done its work. They were
sealed to Manhattan island then. They
would rather live there thirty minutes
than any other place thirty years;
they said SO themselves. That was
