FROSTED CORN slLAGE.

How Farmers Can Save Corn Which
,p Fails to Mature.
Prepared by United States department Of
agricultural
The fact that corn if frosted and i'm
mediately put into the silo Will still
make good silage may prove of great
advantage to corn growers in certain
sections where the lateness of the
present season may prevent the corn
from ripening or reaching the glazed
stage before the first frost, according to
the dairying experts of the department.
Those who have not been intending to
make silage of their corn should find
this information very useful in the
event that corn cannot be harvested in
the ear.
The best corn silage, of course, is pro-
duced where the corn can be put into
the silo after it has reached the glazed
stage In an emergency, however,
where The corn has not reached the
glazed stage before frost, it is better
TO give it all the growing time possible,
even if it has to be put into the silo
Immediately after the first frost. Every
extra growing day after the corn has
reached the milk stage adds very much
to the solid constituents OF the silage,
as In these last few days there is
very important transfer of material
from the roots into the stalk and ear
Of the plant In fact the corn plant
when ii reaches the milk stage contains
only about 90 per cent of the dry mat
ter that it contains two weeks Later.
Aside from the increased feeding vai,
ne, The corn when it has reached the
glazed stage contains a much larger
percentage of starch and a smalle'
percentage of sugar The high proper
ton of sugar in immature corn is one
Of the main reasons for the high acidity
IN the silage made from it. The amount
of acid in the silage is found to be
very nearly in proportion to the sugar
present in the corn.
Where ii has been necessary to delay
until after the first frost TO cut the corn
for silaGe it is essential that the plants
be not allowed to stand frosted In tho
field. They must be cut and put intp
the silo at once. The chief effect OF
the frosting, it will he found. is to re
duce somewhat through evaporation
the water content of the plants. In
packing frosted corn, therefore, il viii
probably lie necessary to add some wa
ter to the blower as the corn is being
run through the cutter.

The Hereditary faint

Editor Howe of the Bennington
Banner is as pro-German as though
to the manor born His spleen against
the Allies tand especially the British
has shown itself time and again TO
be abnormalN developed | This is so
unusual among newspaper men Of
this country that one Is naturally led
to inquire if there's ,ggod reason? A-
Fair Haven Era A$ff y
Certainly there isySseasen. Doesn't
the insensate Era Ahsssxl thai IN the
dark days of lg7A when 1LestE Howe
and Gen. HowSfgancestogs and broto-
types Of FranEE. Howe p were en-
delivering byaasrce of arms duplicity
and European diplomacy, to hold this
country subject to Great Britain, they
were almost saved by the arrival of
the Hessians?
Hasn't the Ira man read, that I'M
written history of the lovely Hessian
camp follower Teutonic type Of the
yivandiere of the French wars in
Africa, who (perhaps) fell desperate
ly in love with Gen. Howe and how
their happy union (maybe) founded
long line Of happy Howes, whose is
sue even now engages in newspaper
ing and hammers the hinges of the
half of his ancestral house?
The love OF the Howes for Hes
slams, Prussians and Teutons is found
in Bancroft and Ridpath, but no doubt
the erudite Howe of the Banner will
deny the romantic story aforesaid,
though he clearly loves the Teuton
and, strangely enough, hates the peor
pie of his British namesake. Ergo.
there must be something in his ances-
try or place of birth to explain his
editorial opinions. y
This, at least, is according to the
Banners explanation Of the secret,
sinister motives that lie behind the
editorial opinions of his contempor-
aries.-Rutland Herald.

Pittsfield. Oct. ia sharp piece Of
steel, imbedded in the cheek of JOS
eph Strizzi, OF 104 Wahconah street,
puzzled the police and physicians in
the House of Mercy hospital tonight
Strizzi was attacked by two men in
his shoe repairing shop tonight who
entered with shoes which they
brought to be repaired and while he
was inspecting the shoes slashed him
in the face and broke his right arm.
Strizzi was unable to give the police
description of his assailants and
could give no reason for the assault.
Dr. Thomas Littlewood attended him.
The bit of steel which was removed
from the wound in his cheek was
about an inch and half long, three
.tifths OF an inch wide and very keen
ly sharpened on both edges. How it
was used and how Embedded in Striz-
zi's face, the police could not explain,
but was plain, the police say that
Strizzi's assailants sought to give him
the familiar mark of the Camorra

WORK FOR THE FALL.


Gardens are often not rich enough to
produce satisfactory results, and fail is
rather the best time to apply the requi-
site stable manure. A good covering
of this is to be supplied and plowed or
dug under, going as deep as may be
convenient The ensuing six months
will put the manure in good condition
for next seasons crops. Flowing again
IN spring will be beneficial in making
the soil loose.
Fail blowing OF land infested with
white grubs, wire worms and cutworms
I is urged by Professor j. G.. Sanders of
The, College of Agriculture of the Uni
yersity of Wisconsin as n control for
these pests and as a protection for next
summers crops Thorough disking or
narrowing, in, addition to blowing, dis
tlirbs and brushes the winter cells Of
these pests in the soil and exposes
them to their enemies and the severe
winter weather 1t is especially urged
that all cornfelds in which the corn
ear worm appeared last summer be
plowed and thoroughly narrowed to
kill the larvae which hibernate two or
three inches deep in the soil. Proper
crop rotation is undoubtedly one of the
greatest factors in the control of many
field crop pests which cannot be Well
controlled by remedies applied after

Nitrate of Soda on Meadows.

On an old meadow which has not
been properly fortified Il top dressing
OF nitrate of soda is almost certain TO
show very marked results. The farm
err is likely to be so enthusiastic over
tho showing made that he at once CON
cludcs that nitrogen is the one factor
needed TO make his hay crop n prof
table one. Right here lies the danger
While the first application of nitrate
OF soda may show these marked re
suits. ii is not by any means safe to
conclude that nitrogen is the only ele-
ment of fertility needed. Repeated ap.
pications OF nitrate of soda may soon
result in no apparent benefit and even
result in Il final condition worse than
the original condition The first appll
cation of nitrate of soda shows such
marked results because there is n
marked deficiency of nitrogen in the
soil, but there is sufficient of the other
fertilizing clements, particularly phos-
lphorus and potassium, to balance the
nitrogen used The increased crop
Yields from the use of nitrate of soda
make an increased drain upon the
available phosphorus and potassium OF
the soil No effort being made to re-
place these elements thus removed, the
time very soon comes when no re-
spons,, is received from the applica-
ton of nitrate of soda because tho
plosphoric acid and potash have been
depleted or, in other words, are the
limiting factors. AS a rule. where nj
trate of soda is used as a fertilizer, il
is safe principle to use in connection
with it some form IF phosphorus and
potassium, having in mind permanent
results rather than temporary in
crease due to the nitrate of soda.
