much appreciated talk on the
work of the associations in the

CORN INTO A sILo
Grains Should Be Well Denied and
Glazed, and Few of the Lower
Leaves Turned Brown.

(By w. R. DODSON, Louisiana Expert
ment Station)
Corn is ready to harvest for filling
the silo about the same time it is
ready for harvesting the fodder; the
grains should be well denied and
glazed, and a few Of the lower leaves
turned brown If the corn is cut too
green the silage will be sour, and the
feeding value decreased, while, on the
other hand, if the corn is too ripe 1t
will not pack well in the silo, large
amount of water will be necessary to
insure its keeping quality, and there
is danger of dry rot, which lowers
the feeding value.
Sorghum should be harvested for
the silo while the seeds are i'll the
dough stage. Like corn, if it is left
in the field until it has become too
dry, the silage will contain a large
amount of indigestible material, and
will not make a good quality of silage.
The time of harvesting the crop for
filling the silo-that is, the stage in
which the crops should be harvested
must be given great consideration if
good quality is to be obtained.
Pea vines, soy beans, and other hay
crops should be harvested for the silo
at the same time as for making hay
that is, when in full bloom and few
of the heads are ripe.

NANCE TREATMENT OF HOGS
BEGIN With Brisk Serubblng OF AMI
mails With Brush, Soap and Wa
ter to Remove the Crust.

Treatment of hogs for mango should
begin with a vigorous scrubbing with
brush, soap and soft water so as to
remove the crust A variety of coal
tar dips are on the market. Most or
these are quite satisfactory if of sutfi-
cient strength and warm enough
(about 10 degrees f.; do not boil)
The hog should be given good thor
ough soaking in the dip, not less than
two minutes. The hog must go I'M
der, head and all at least once. Treat
ment must usually be repeated one or
more times at intervals of eight days.
Treat the whole herd and do 1t thor
oughly.
An effective dip can be made from
crude petroleum as follows:
Four gallons crude oil.
Sixteen gallons water.
One pound soap.
The soap should be dissolved in the
water by heating. An emulsion is
then made by adding the oil and thor
oughly churning the mixture. Water
in different sections differs very great
" in the way it will combine with
SOAP If this amount of soap does not
give a good emulsion simply add more
soap. Avoid oily dips in cold weather.
While the hogs are taking the dip,
thoroughly clean and then disintect
the pens. In case of true mango the
fence posts, trees, and everything
against which the hogs can rub must
also be disinfected. Use strong dis
infectant and plenty of it. After treat
ment do not put hogs back into lousy
or NANCY pens.

TOOLS FOR DIGGING PEANUTS
Turning Pillow With MoIdboard Re-
moved is ExcelIent-Hay Can Be
Cured by Stacking Around Poles.

In harvesting peanuts, where the
acreage is large enough, peanut har-
vester can be used to advantage. The
peanut digger is used by many farm
ers to lift the vines, as it leaves them
lying loosely on the ground, and they
can be easily thrown into punches and
small shocks with hay fork. A two
horse turning pillow with the mold
board removed makes an excellent
peanut digger, as does also a potato
digger.
Peanut hay can be cured by stack
ing around poles three to four inches
in diameter and eight feet high, set
in the ground deep enough to stand.
A two-by-four scantling may be used

AIDS IN POTATO PRODUCTION
More Liberal Use of Seed viii Result
in Increased Profits-Good Stor-
age Place Essential.

Cd A more liberal use of potato
seed will generally result in both in
creased production and profit.
(2) A good storage place is essen
tial in order to insure sound, firm
seed at planting time
(3) The use of high-grade seed
would increase the returns from the
potato crop Of the country by many
millions of dollars.
"a All seed should be treated with
formalin before planting to prevent
scab.

FACTOR IN PORK PRODUCTION
Growing of Pasture Grasses and For
age Crops Makes Healthy, Vigor-
Gus Hogs of Good Quality.

Many now realize the fact that the
growing of pasture grasses and for
age crops that make healthy, vigor-
Gus hogs of good quality is the basic
factor in successful pork production
They are raising hogs at big profit.
Of course those who are successful
realize the fact that a certain amount
of grain feed is needed to grow hogs
with greater profit, but they use this
grain only as a supplement to the feeds
harvested by the hogs in the pastures
and fields.

to the street door and vanished.

CHAPTER u.
The Right Of Might.

Two days after the supper at Chau-
diere's the unimpetuous routine Of the
business quarter of New Orleans was
rudely disturbed by the shock of
genuine sensation.
To shatter at single blow the most
venerable Of the routine precedents,
the sensational thing chose for its col
liding point with orderly system one
Of the oldest and most conservative
Of the city's banks-the Bayou State
Security. At ten o'clock, following
the precise habit of half lifetime,
Mr.. Andrew Galbraith, president of
the Bayou State, entered his private
room in the rear Of the main banking
apartment, opened his desk, and ad-
dressed himself to the business of the
day. At half-past the hour the presi-
dent was left alone to read his cor
rsspondence.

Broffin, heavy browed and clean

the chair to suit himself and sat down.
In appearance he was cross between
a steamboat captain on vacation and
an up-river plantation overseer recov-
ering from his annual pleasure trip
to the city. But his reply to Balm

ther.

laughing. Cant you ever forget that
you are in the man-hunting business?
Where are you headed for, Brofin?"

a steamboat captain or a plantation
overseer. and was neither, chuckled
dryly.

rickety chair.
The fat negro shufled out, scenting
tips. The moment he was out of
sight Griswold took up the scissors
and began to hack awkwardly at his
beard and mustache; awkwardly, but
swiftly and with well-considered pur-
pose. The result was a fairly COM
plete metamorphosis easily wrought.
In place of the trim beard and curling
mustache there was a rough stubble,
stiff and uneven, like that on the face
of man who had neglected to shave
for a week or two.
There, l think that will answer"
he told himself, standing back before
the cracked looking-glass to get the
general effect. "And it is decently

when, with the robber at his elbow,
he stepped to the window and pre-

through him.

met would reconstruct the beard on
the sunburned lines. Now for pawn
broker; and the more avaricious hO
happens to be, the better he will serve
the purpose"
He went to the door and looked up
and down the alley. The negro was
not yet in sight, and Griswold walked
rapidly away in the direction opposite
to that taken by the obliging barber.
A pawnbroker's shop Of the kind re-
cality, and when 1t was found, Girls
void drove a hard bargain with the
Portuguese Jew behind the counter.
The pledge he offered was the suit he
was wearing, and the bargaining con-
cluded in an exchange of the still serv-
iceable business suit for pair of but
ternut trousers, secondhand coat too
short in the sleeves, a flannel shirt,
cap, and a red handkerchief; these
and a sum of ready money, the small
ness Of which he deplored piteously
before he would consent to accept 1t.
The effect of the haggling was ex'
actly what Griswold had prefigured.
The Portuguese, most suspicious or
his tribe, suspecting everything but
the truth, fatty accused his customer
of having stolen the pledge. And
when Griswold departed without deny
ing the charge, suspicion became con-
viction, and the pledged clothing,
which might otherwise have given the
police the needed clue, was carefully
hidden away against time when the
Jews apprehensions should be quieted.
Having thus disguised himself, Girls
void made the transformation artisti-
cally complete by walking few
squares in the dust Of loaded cotton
float on the levee. Then he made a
tramp's bundle of the manuscript OF
the moribund book, the pistol, and
the money in the red handkerchief;
and having surveyed himself with
some satisfaction in the bar mirror
of a riverside pot-house, a daring inn
pulse to test his disguise by going
back to the restaurant where he had

town.
The experiment was an unqualified
success. The proprietor Of the bank
neighboring cafe not only failed to rec
ognize him; he was driven forth with
revilings in idiomatic French and brok
en- English.
"Bete! Go back on da levee were
you belong to go. I'll been kipping dis
cafe for zhentlemen! Scelerat! Col"
Griswold went out, smiling between
his teeth.
THAT settles the question Of iden'
tif1cation and present safety" he as
sured himself exultantly. Then: Il
believe l could walk into the Bayou
State Security and not be recognized"
AS before, the daring impulse was
irresistible, and he gave place to 1t
on the spur of the moment. Fouling
a five-dollar bill in the mud of the gut
ter, he went boldly into the bank and
asked the paying teller to give him
silver for it. The teller shifted at the
money, scowled at the man, and turned
back to his cash book without word.
Griswold's smile grew to an inward
laugh when he reached the street
