Of late years the Dutch East In

with the younger generation of
wealthy Dutchmen, who prefer re-
naming in Holland to seeing the
world, if it means three years in the

sonal hardship is regarded as form
of national degeneracy. Induce
ments to service in Java are by nc
means inconsiderable. A young army
engineer aboard had all his expenses
paid and a salary of $50 week
awaiting him. Living in the Dutch
colonies, however, is expensive, be-
cause everybody is out to make as
much money as possible in the short

cold, dispiriting, Dutch dampness
which they love- Nevertheless, the

SILO FILLING TIME.
Important to Have Enough Men and
Teams to Keep Machinery Going.

Silo filing time is at hand in many
parts of the State and, for the bene-
fit of those who are having their first
experience with silos and silage and
for those who are not quite certain
that they have been doing the work
properly in the past, Clemson college
is issuing a few simple directions
which, carefully observed, will en-
able one to fill silo economically
and properly.
Corn should be harvested for ST.
lage when the ear is dented and the
shuck begins to turn brown, or short
ly before the corn is fully ripe.
The most important point in filling
a silo is to make certain in advance
that there will be enough men and
teams for cutting, hauling, feeding,
distributing and other operations to
keep the silo-flling machinery at
work all the time. 1t is when man
permits his engine to stop every few
hours and has to start it again at
much trouble that silo-flling becomes
irksome and expensive, and the only
way to avoid this is to determine in
advance the number of men and
teams it will require for the work
and to keep the machinery in motion
constantly.
Hauling the corn to the silo is an
other important item. A farmer who
has his sila &c corn field far from his
silo will realize the mistake of this
when he begins to haul. Silage corn
should always be planted as near as
possible to the barn. A big labor
saver in hauling is the low-down
wagon. The work is done much
more easily when the men do not
have to lift the corn to great
height to load it into a high-bodied
wagon. Low-bodied wagons may be
bought cheaply or may be made easi-
ly. Directions for making them are
given in farmers bulletin SIS, U. S.
department of agriculture.
In filing silo with an ordinary
blower, there is a tendency for all
larger pieces of ear to fall in one
place while the stalks and leaves will
be blown little farther over. 1t is
best, for this reason, to have dis
tributer attached to blower, but, if
none is had, man should be in the
silo with a fork to distribute the
grain we'll over the surface. Men
should also be in the silo to pack
the silage around the walls instead of
letting it accumulate in the centre.
These men should tramp and pack the
silage thoroughly.
When the silo has been filled, the
top layer of silage should be made
thoroughly wet so to form; an air.
tight covering and prevent the spoil
ing of the silage for greater depth
than eight inches or foot. There
will be a slight loss in the top layer
of silage unless it is used immediate
ly. One need not wait a day after
filing the silo before beginning to
use the silage.
