CUTTING CORN FOR THE SIL0
Dented-If Thought Too Dry
Water May Be Added.

There is considerable of the nu-
TRENT material lost in cutting silage
corn too early. Corn should not be
cut for this purpose until the kerr
nels are nearly all glazed or denied.
At this stage 1t will usually be noted
that the lower blades are brown and
dry. II 1t Is thought that the corn
is little too mature, water can be
added.
Experiments have shown that corn
stover (dry stalks without the ears)
can be ensiled II an equal weight of
water Is added as the slower is being
cut. The silage should be well
tramped as the silo is being filled, es-
pecially so around the walls This
Is done to exclude as much air as pos
sible. For the average man, the steam
engine is easier to run than is a gaso-
line engine, and not as many de-
lays will be made in filling the silo.
Where a number of men and teams
are employed, stop of even few
minutes is costly. After the filling
of silo is completed, 1t is a good
idea to wet the top down thoroughly,
after which 1t should be tramped once
a day for a week or ten days. This
procedure will save several tons of
otherwise spoiled silage.

SPLINTERS OF THE FAR PAST
Declared by Scientists Who Ought to
Know to Be Many Millions Of
Years Old.

The discovery of splinters millions
of years old has been made by pro-
lessor of paleontology at the Univer-
sity of California. The splinters are
neither decayed nor petriled, but re-
tanned the grain and distinct markings
OF the California redwood and 1t is
even possible to white shavings from
the larger splinters. The discovery OF
these splinters was made at Mussel
Rock, California, a bank of rock about
twenty miles out of San Francisco.
This stratum of rock offers an excel
lent opportunity for the study OF rock
formations and it was while on trip
OF this kind that the splinters were
found embedded in the sandy base OF
the rock. Furthermore, these splin-
tiers were contained in stratum which
had sunk under the sea and had been
afterward raised and turned over in
different position so that the redwood
trees were in a horizontal position in
stead of vertical.-World' Advance.

SAYS ACTION IS NOT INSTANT
Gravitation, as Electrical Phenome-
non, Explained by Scientist Of
Worldwide Fame.

Gravitation is an electrical phenom-
enon and does not act instantly across
space, but is transmitted with the We
locity of light, thus coming from the
sun to the earth in eight minutes.
So says Prof. Thomas Jefferson
Jackson See, famous astronomer in
his 600-word memoir entitled: "Elec-
tro-dynamic Theory of Magnetism and
of Universal Gravitation: Discovery
Of the Cause of Gravitation, With
Proof That This Fundamental Force
of Nature Is Propagated With the We
locity of Light" He claims to have
discovered the secret of grayitation
and has put the information in the
hands of the Royal society Of London.
Professor See is an astronomer of
note. He is a graduate of the Univer-
sity of Missouri and has received the
degree of Phi. d. from the University
of Berlin, for which institution he was
later an observer. He Is now a naval
observer for the United States govern
ment and is stationed at the Mare
Island navy yard.
Professor See holds that gravitation
Is due to elementary currents of cleo
tricity circulating around atoms of
matter Ampere, the celebrated
French scientist, discovered in 1920
that two parallel currents of electric
ity floating in opposite directions re-
pei. Following the lines first taken by
Ampere, Professor See has worked
out his theory of gravitation.

inheritance of the Corn Crop.

Corn is king of all the crops. More
than 20 per cent OF all the improved
farm land in the United States is an
nually devoted to the growing OF corn.
In 1914 lO5, 100000 acres were planted
to corn in this country, producing
2,7O0,UOO,000 bushels, which brought
the growers $l,90O,0O0, 900. For nearly
fifty years the land planted to corn
has been equal il not greater than
the acreage of all other cereal crops
combined.
Corn from a standpoint of acreage
yield and value exceeds every other
crop.
Wherever corn is grown, there you
find high-priced land and prosperous
people.
No other crop can replace corn, but
corn can readily take the place Of any
other grain crop.
Corn is put to a greater number OF
uses than any other crop that grows.
There are greater possibilities for
improvement, yield and quality OF corn
than any other crop.-F'rom O Lecture
by p. G. Holden.

DON'T CROWD ORCHARD TREES
Where Planted Too Close Together
Cultivation Is Prevented and
Spraying Made Difficult.

Misinformation is given in certain
sections concerning the proper dis
lance between trees in an orchard.
1t has been recommended by certain
uniformed nurserymen that trees be
planted about Is feet apart each way,
whereas they should be IS to 40 feet
apart.
If planted too close, they can
not be cultivated or sprayed to good
advantage. The limbs grow upright,
and make picking difficult. Further
more, shaded portions of the tree
will not set a normal crop.
The horticultural department of the
Nebraska Agricultural college says
that the proper distances for the diff
ferent trees are as follows: Cherries
and peaches, 20 feet; and apples, 80
to 40 feet except Whitney crab and
duchess and other upright varieties,
which may be planted but % feet
apart.

BEES OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
Than Wind-Their Absence Is Al
ways Deleterious.

Professor Bailey of Cornell says
that bees are much more important
factor of pollination than the wind,
and that their absence is always dele
terious."
In recent bulletin the department
of agriculture says: Plant mixed va
rieties, or at least avoid the planting
of solid blocks, and be sure there are
plenty of bees in the neighborhood to
visit the blossoms"
Professor Waugh, who experimental
as a fruit-grower and not as a bee
keeper, proved that bees, as polliniz-
ers, were more reliable and much
superior to the wind. He placed panes
of glass covered with viscid fluid
in the orchard in order to catch the
wind-blown pollen, and the amount
caught was surprisingly small.

All nursery stock received in the

TEST OUT PROFITABLE cows
Important That Farmer Should Know
Quantity and Quality He Is Re-
ceiving From Animals.

By W. A. M'KERROW, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station)
Feed Is going to be higher than
usual this season unless all signs fail
1t is, therefore, doubly important that
the farmer keeping dairy cows should
be sure that his cows are giving him
more than value received for what
they eat. The way to be sure OF this
Is to have scales and Babcock tester
This is only one of the reasons why
farmers should test their COWS for
quantity and quality of product.
Other reasons for cow-testing are:
1t enables the farmer to eliminate
cows that do not pay for their board.
1t saves many good COW from the
shambles
1t is an encourager Of good feeding
and good care.
1t gives the farmer an opportunity
to build up a good producing herd.
It increases ones interest in dairy
ing as a business rather than as
means of labor merely.
In short, it is plain common sense.

Motoring In Spain.

Motorists in Spain describe the road
between Irun and San Sebastian as
very beautiful, and the latter place,
even in the rain, looks most attrac-
tive to those speeding through. The
way runs along the Oria river, tur-
bulent stream, through Tolosa to the
village of Beasain, where the traveller
leaves the Oria.
BY a curious optical illusion, al
though running steadily uphill all the
while, meeting the rushing torrent,
the road appears to be a down.hill
one.
So it is on the reverse journey, al
though from the running of the car
one is obviously going down quite
considerable gradient the road looks
level.

A convenient granary is 32x32x14
feet to the caves. BY using a sling
carrier 1t is very easy to raise wagon
bed of loose grain and turn it around
and dump it in any bin or crib de-
sired and the scale makes it possible
to know the exact amount of grain
handled.
This is also a help to the farmer
selling stock, for by using four gates
hooked together he readily has stock

FRESH EGGS ARE VALUABLE
Safest Plan to Market Only Those
Taken From Regular Nests-Store
In Cool, Dry Place.

(By ]. G. HALPIN Wisconsin Expert
ment Station)
To have the eggs fresh market only
eggs that are gathered from regular
nests. disable eggs now may not be
disable by the time they reach the city
market, and all eggs of this sort
should be kept at home and used at
once. Do not hurt the sale of your
good eggs by including eggs gathered
from stolen nests, extra small or ex-
ira large eggs. The latter are like
ly to get broken and soil the good
eggs in the case. Gather eggs daily,
and as soon as possible after they are
laid; store in clean, dry, cool place,
free from bad odors, until ready for
market.
