FACTS To Be KEPT IN MIND
WHEN FILLING THE SILO
(By G. A. Hutton, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By G. A. Hutton, Division Of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
The best stage for cutting corn for
sllage is when the bottom blades have
turned brown and the grain Is we'll
glazed At this stage the shuck will
begin to show slight brown color.
About fodder pulling time" or just a
little later, is a good time for putting
corn into the silo. 1t Is good plan
to let the corn get as ripe as possible
In order to preserve well, as the plant
contains more dry matter and great
er feeding value as 1t nears maturity.
Fairly good silage may be made from
dry corn stalks, provided an abundant
supply of water is run into the silo
along with the corn. Much better sill
age is had if the corn is cut at the
proper stage. 1t is important to have
just the right amount Of succulence, or
juice, in the corn, and II this is not
there use plenty of water in filing by
turning stream from a hose directly
into the blower pipe of the cutter. Do
not be afraid of using too much water
II the corn is very dry. II sorghum
Is grown with the corn for silage it
will be ready when the corn Is In the
proper condition for cutting.
The corn may be cut either by hand
or with corn harvester. Where the
amount to be harvested is small 1t
will be found to be to the best inter-
ests of all for number of farmers to
club in together and purchase har-
vester. Corn should not be cut long
before 1t is to be placed In the silo,
as it dries out very rapidly
The best types Of cutters are equip
ped with blower attachment for ele-
waiting the cut corn into the silo The
power required is about one horsepow-
er flor every one-inch length in the
cutting cylinder. A 12inch cutter will
require 12-horsepower engine, and a
15inch cutter about a 15-horsepower
engine if gasoline engine is used.
If steam engine is used it should
have at least two-thirds the rated
horsepower as that indicated for the
gasoline engine.
The silage should be cut in lengths
from one-half to one inch Cutting in
short lengths, filling slowly and thor
oughly packing the silage gives best
results. Put the best, heaviest and
most energetic men in the silo to keep
the silage evenly distributed and well
packed. Keep the silage at least a
foot higher around the wall than in
the center, and see that it is espe-
cially well tramped around the wall.
When the silo has been filed 1t is
good idea to run on good amount Of
water. This helps to settle the silage
and exclude the air. This is espe-
cially important If the crop is too dry.

hour her remains are being laid to
rest in the cemetery over in that
Middle Tennessee town. We are ad-
vised that Elder T. B. Larimore, under
whose preaching she obeyed the Cos
pei in the long ago, in compliance
with her dying request, is to conduct
the funeral services. The w. G. T..
u, with which she was identified so
long, will conclude the services there.
have been asked to say something
on this memorial occasion. and while
the occasion is a sad one, am glad
that it affords us all an opportunity
to give expression TO our estimate of
the great character that has been
taken from US, and to publicly testify
to the love and esteem in which Mrs.
Holman was held by SO many thous-
ands in Tennessee and elsewhere.
The news of the death Of this noble
woman, the champion of temperance
and reform. of good government and
of Christian living, will cast pail of
sadness and of sorrow over men and
women and children wherever the
cause of the W. c. 7. U. is known or
the white ribbon is worn. For more
than a generation Mrs. Holman has
labored with fidelity and with wisdom
for the coming of the day when Ten
nessee would be soloonless State;
when the United States would be a
saloonless nation; when there would
be worldwide prohibition. She never
faltered; she never became discour-
aged. When confronted with the
greatest obstacles, her faith became
the sublimest, and her labers the
most unceasing.
Through long and weary years Of
fighting for Tennessee's redemption,
the battle seemed lost, and stout
hearts surrendered. But the daunt-
less spirit of Tennessee's great leader
never surrendered. She redoubled
her energies and fought on, inspired
by the thought that righteousness
will prevail, and that no question can
be settled until it is settled right.
That grim determination that pos
sessed her in early life, when as a
girl, the oldest of family Of FIVE
orphaned children, she re-possessed
the old home, and paid, off the $4,000
mortgage, attended her through life
and to the end of its journey. She
was hopeful; she was jubilant; she
knew and recognized no defeat. When
the battle ragged the fiercest. it was
then that her smile was the sweetest,
