DAMPEN CORN WHEN
PUTTING INTO SILO
Always Better to Use Too Much
Water Than Not Enough When
Crop Has Been Frosted.

II the corn crop has been badly
frosted and is in dry or semidry state,
1t should be dampened as it enters the
silo. 1t is always better to get too
much water than not enough.
1t is common practice to allow q
stream of water to enter the blower or
elevator as the corn is being cut, but
1t is claimed a better practice to wa
ter the corn when on the wagon; how
ever, it is very little good to pour the
water on top of the silage after the
silo has been filled.

In regard to the relative value of

which show no hues except those pro-

emerged from the cabin the most beau

the physical beauty as the sweetness

the march, rather, as we expected to-
leave trails behind us and strike across
country to the base of Mount Clark.
Hot Rocks to Warm Cold Beds.
We held it to be but tribute to our
skill as mountaineers, however, when
we found an old sheep trail following
the very route we had planned to take.
For many miles we followed it through
the rolling forest east Of Mount Starr
King, through Starr King meadow, and
out near the crest of granite ridge
near Clark Fork. Here we left it be-
hind and struck across the open coun-
try, over ridge after ridge, across
stream after stream, until we came to
the northerly fork Of Gray creek,
where we made camp. We had
reached the altitude of about $500
feet, and snowdrifts lay deep all about
us. But firewood was abundant and
our little nook among the tall frs
promised every comfort that KNAPP
sacker need expect.
In default of extra bedding we took
hot rocks to bed with us.
The night passed comfortably and
we were up at dawn ready for the as
sault on Mount Clark, confident also
Of success. AS we climbed the snow
lay even deeper about us. The forest
of fir and mountain pine gave way to
the harder white-bark. pine, the tree
of timberline, Up to the top of the
ridge it crept, at the top a mere shrub,
bent and twisted beneath the winters
weight of snow.
AS we climbed, our horizon to the
south and west widened. We were
looking across the valley of the Illilou-
cite toward the snowy divide separat-
ing us from the south fork of the Mer-
ced where lies Wawona and the splen-
did Mariposa grove Of sequoias. Yo-
semitic valley was but blue rift in the
forest with only its great domes, Half
Dome, Sentinel Dome and Starr King,
rising into any prominence.
Far different was our view to east
ward from the crest. Our ridge ended
on the east in an abrupt precipice.
Through broken chimney" or win
dowlike aperture in the rocks, we
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1915-09-10

looked down 500 feet into great snow
field filling all the eastern basin, and
beyond this lay the cleft of the MERGED
canyon, and, still beyond, the magnifi-
cent snowy peaks of the summit crest,

others, all above 10000 feet, all shin

seemed to belong to this world.
Couldn't Get Up Clark.
Well for us that this glorious vision
was compensation for all the many
miles we had climbed, for we got no
farther that day-and Clark still re-
manned unconquered. For we had an
ticipated the season for mountain
climbing by fortnight or more, and
the slope that should have offered an
easy rock climb to the summit was
now a precipitous wall Of treacherous
snow. We had no rope, no ice ak, not
even a knife with which we might
have cut steps, and the icy edge where
rock and snow met proved an irwin.
chile barrier to the summit.
Up and down the ridge we prowled,
over every ledge, into every chimney,
only to admit ourselves defeated in the
end.
For an hour or more we remained
upon the ridge feasting our eyes on
the marvellous panorama hundred
miles of snowy range, a magnificent
alpine region, the greater part Of
which is now almost inaccessible, soon
to be opened to travel by the construc-
ton of the John Muir trail.
After luncheon in camp a 15-mile
walk back still lay ahead of US. Our
defeat lay lightly upon us, for many
mountain SUBMITS have been ours in
the past, and we had had, after all,
the inspiration and the uplift OF the
glorious upper regions of snow even If
the exnilaration of the summit had
been lacking. Down among the great
below Of yellow pines, under the
spreading arms of sugar pines and out
upon open crests covered with man
zenita and chinquapin we fastened
past Nevada and Vernal and down
through the Happy Isles where
thrushes sang their evening songs, and

"The matter was still up in the air

Molly went home to her mother and a
lot of crank female friends-the un-

"The first day or two he mooned
