Ways of English Farmers.

Stock farmers realize that the great
value OF straw is as an absorbent OF
the liquid manure on the farm. When
thus absorbed by straw or corn stalks,
so far as the fertiiizing elements are
concerned, this liquid manure is about
equal TO the solid. Farmers realize
the great value of straw stack when
cattle are fed in the open and COM
foTtably bedded. and the straw is rap
idly decomposed. Still we doubt II
even the best farmers realize the full
value OF straw.
English farmers are sbiiged to utilize
all waste, and their chemists tell US
that stray presumably wheat straw
has manurial value of about seven
shillings per long ton, and a me-
chanical value when applied to tho
land of about seven shillings more, or
little over SO per shcrt ton, or 1000
pounds. II may seem surprising that
they figure the mechanical value as
equal to the fertilizing value; but we
have no doubt that on almost any kind
of land this estimate is correct

BEST FORM FOR SILOS
Round Receptacle Gives the
Largest CaDacity.
Where Built Above Ground This Form
or Construction Reslsts Strona
Winds and Pressure Of sllase
From Within.

Experience has shown that the best
form for silo is round with the walls
perpendicular The round silo does
away with corners In which silage is
likely to spoil. 1t gives the largest
capacity for the amount of material
IN the walls. and where built above
ground this form of construction re-
sists the winds and the pressure of
silage from within better than the
square silo.
When the silo exceeds IS feet in
diameter, 1t requires more work to
get the silage to the door than in the
smaller silo. 1t also requires a larger
amount TO be fed daily in order to
KEEP the silage from spelling on ac,
count of its contact with the air. A
silo of large diameter and not very
tall has more spoiled silage in It per
ton of good silage than a silo Of
greater height. The pressure on the
silage is measured by the height of
the silo and not by its diameter. so
that the TALL slim silo will hold prac-
tically as much silage per square foot
Of wall surface as the short, broad
one. On account of this greater ca.
pacity of tall silos, 1t is seldom ad-
visable to build one less than 30 feet
In height. Where built of masonry,
or where well anchored and carefully
looked after, they may economically
be built higher. to give the needed
capacity without getting the silo UNI
duly large in diameter.
1t is great mistake to make silo
with thin walls because the silage,
particularly in the northern states, will
freeze badly and not only sports its
quality but make it difficult to handle.
OF course the advocates of thin-walled
cement silos assert that it will freeze
no more than the silage in stave
silo. which probably is true: but fro

HAULING HEAVY GREEN CORN
low-Wheeled Truck Is Easy - Load
and Can Be Used for General Work
About the Farm.

A low-wheeled truck is best for
hauling corn, because it is easier to
load. They are also very useful for
general hauling about the farm, and
should not be counted as an extra ex-
pense when figuring embarrassing
machinery.
We do not know OF any harder Job
on the farm than Juggling and lifting
heavy green corn 1t requires con-
siderable skill in addition to strength
in order to do the work with anything
like ease and facility. and every prac-
tice that can be adopted to lessen the
work should be put into execution.
The cutting should be low enough so
that the corn may be dropped upon
1t instead of being lifted up to it.

PROTECTING STABLE MANURE
Ideal Place Is Pit With Cement Bot
tom-Roof Made of Rough Boards
Will Answer Purpose.


The annual question concerning the
disposition Of the stable-made manure
comes up as the pile begins to assume
formidable proportions. BY far the
best way of taking care OF 1t is to
spread it on the fields where 1t will
go down into the soil and be in readi-
ness for the crop which is to be sown
in the spring. If 1t Is to be stored.
the ideal place is the pit with cement
bottom, which will hold the liquid ex-
crement. IL this cannot be done, then
store ii under shed. placing it In
layers and let the hogs root 1t over.
n even this is not feasible, then put
it In piles not very high and cover
with any old, rough boards-almost
anything that will keep out the rain.

and see that 1t is forked over several
times during the winter. The main
thing, however, is to see that 1t is
protected from the elements as much

MAKE PROFIT IN MUSHROOMS
Obtain Good Manure, Rich in Phos-
phate, for Foundation Of Bed
Have Plenty Fresh Air.
CRy ii IAuR.l

Any person who has good cellar
that he or she can use, can make a
profitable business out of growing
mushrooms. The temperature of the
cellar should be kept always between
sixty and seventy degrees, we'll ven
tilated, as the success OF the enter
prise depends upon having plenty
of fresh air. The soil must be kept
moist. Secure good manure, rich in
phosphate. for the foundation of the
bed, which should be built on a dirt
floor. For bed fifteen feet long and
three feet wide, two loads of manure
will be sufficient. Build beds conical
in shape. starting with three-foot
base, building up two and half feet
high with a crown of ten inches at
the top. Use a frame of six inches
in height to keep the beds In shape.
The bed ought not to cost more than
ten dollars, the manure costing four
dollars, labor $3.50, loan $3.50. six
bricks of spawn one dollar. The yield
ought to be at least 20 bushels, in
three months. The average price for
mushrooms is three dollars per BUSH
e. clear profit of $50 can be made

RISES HIGH FROM THE RANKS

Most encouraging to the many
young Englishmen who have enlisted
in the ranks to fight for their country
in the European war is the promotion
of Sir William Robertson to be lieu
tenant general of the British army In
France. His career has been decided
~ romantic and shows how one who
begins at the bottom Of the ladder
may in time climb to the upper rungs-
In the past several enlisted men have
risen to the grade of colonel and even
of major general, one of the latter
being the late Sir Hector Macdonald,
but Sir William Robertson is the first
"ranker" to attain to lieutenant gen.
eralship. For ten years he served as
a trooper in the Sixteenth lancers,
and then, at the age Of Twenty-Five,
he was commissioned lieutenant of
the Third dragon guards. In the

lions and the ChlIral relief expedition,

he JUST FILLED THE BILL

Soon after President Wilson came
into office he began hunting for a
man. He kept three essentials in
mind during the progress of the
search. The man, he said, had to be
physically and mentally robust, and
Democrat, of course, and he ought to
have been a Union soldier in the
war between the North and South. If
such man could be found, the presi-
dent promised to appoint him commits
sioner of pensions. There were plenty
of veterans, he agreed, but they were
old and infirm and not competent to
manage one of the greatest bureaus
in Washington.

zen silage, from whatever source, is
not desirable.
Silage at the Illinois station has
been used for the past 20 years, and
they have learned how to build silos
that will stand the test of time and
preserve the silage. Experts at this
station say that the square silo has
not proved satisfactory because 1t is
practically impossible to build this
form so that the side walls will not
spring out and allow the air to get in
and rot the contents. In fact, very
few square silos are now constructed;
the round silo being more substantial
and more desirable in every way.

ceive that to care for man or woman
physically is not the end Of its respon-
sibility Caring for nearly eighty
thousand persons a year in hospital
and dispensary is today but one side
of the great work accomplished by
that institution. This change has
been brought about by woman
Miss Mary e. Wadley. As an en-
ployee of the hospital she saw pa
tients leaving Bellevue discharged as
cured who had not regained sufficient
strength to take up their work. She
saw families broken up because the
breadwinner lay i'll in the hospital and
the smaller and weaker members
were unable to shift for themselves.
Often a discharged patient fortunate
enough to have a home to which he
could return could not get the care
there necessary to insure complete
recovery.
