In an effort to invoke forgetful-
ness and physical warmth which
comes from 7inbibing alcohol, and to
make troubles dee like the wings of
the morning, but having to overcome
the Yost law to acquire these mag
ired moments Of bliss. the natives Of
the state have resorted to all Kinds
of substitutes for thu oil Of Joy.
The latest of these has been In
vented In Braxton county where In
ventiye genius seems to have reached
it's highest perfection. Raleigh coun-
ty gave to the world the famous Old
Hen" liquor which set IN the sun for
three weeks to hatch for consump-
ton; but up in Braxton county ma.
ture does it.,
Braxton county Is distinctively a
farming county, where agriculture
has reached higher perfection than
in Kanawha county. The county is
covered with silos, where chopped up
corn and other green plant life Is
put in silos and is used for the feed
ing Of. cattle and live stock during
that period Of the year when Moth
Ing grows except a desire for big
jtgger whiskey. Corn silage consists
Of chopped up corn stalks, the ears
and the corn itself. all being run
through silage cutter when it Is
partially green. The stlage Is packed
into the silo and fermentation begins.
Contains Much Alcohol.

percentage OF alcohol and so one can
drain the juice from the silage, then
strain it, and, mt1dng 1t with a little
water, can get drink with a large
percentage Of alcohol and a lot of
headache. So common has this drink
become that when a man gives EVIL

say he is full of "silo.n b

from the farmer. It is easy now for
g. man to put up q supply of green
food and'also his supply Of liquor for
the winter at the same time.
A resident Of Sutton brought the
story to the city the other day that
a famous character about the town
went home one day and found that
the family churn ysas not in Its place.
Re asked his wife about the matter
and she said that neighbor had the
chrrn. The head Of the house rayeti
about the churn being away, and all

the churn had been loaned. partie-

1T developed. from further uues-
tionippg that the word silo had been
pressed into universal use. In this
case what was referred to as s!ssilo-
Ing" was simply process by which
an alcoholic. drink is made out Of
dates, corn meal and yeast and Ia
similar to the liquor known ast"old
Hen. The yeast is used for a pre-
SENTATIVE. while the churn was used
because 1t mixed the ingredients so
well.
In this connection, Mt is recalled
that a visitor from Florida says the
natives down there also have inyens
tive minds. In Florida the thirsty
ones make d liquor from practically
the same ingredi dents, except that they
cut big hole in a palmetto palm
tree fill 1t with the ingredients and
then let the sun do the rest. It is
said that a few, drinks Of this LIQUOR
will case q sensation the most prom
inent manifestation of which Is d
desire on the part of,the intoxicated
one to climb the palmetto tree.
But one of these methods has
reached the high standard Of devel-
opment as SLIDING" The liquor
costs nothing. It Is vegetable prod
uct and the carfare to an adjoining
state is not necessary. One can feed
both the. stock and acquire an ''.edge.'
by just walking out to the barn at
any time during the day.
