WHEN CROPS SHOULD BE HAIR
VESTED FOR siLAGE.

Corn is ready to harvest for filling
the silo about the same time 1t is ready
for harvesting the fodder; the grains
should be well dented and glazed, and
la few of the lower leaves turned brown.
If the corn is cut too green the silage
will be sour, and the feeding value de-
creased, while, on the other hand, IL
the corn is too ripe it will not pack
well In the silo, a large amount Of
water will be necessary to insure it's
keeping quality, and there Is danger Of
dry rot, which lowers the feeding value.
Sorghum should be harvested for the
silo while the seed are in the dough
stage. Like corn, if it Is left In the
field until it has become too dry, the
silage will contain large amount of
indigestible material, and will not
make good quality of silage.
The time of harvesting the crop for
filling the silo-that is, the stage in
which the crops should be harvested
must be given great consideration If
good quality of silage is to be obtained.
Pea vines, soy beans, and other hay
crops should be harvested for the silo
at'the same time as for making hay
that is, when in full bloom and few of
the heads are ripe.-W. r. Dodson,

THE ENEMY WITHIN OUR
BORDERS.
Chicago Public.)

There is grave peril to the nation In
the demonstrated fact that monopo.
|listic corporation can have an obnox.
ious labor leader sent to the peniten-
|tiary for life for a murder he did not
commit. A foreign invader would
hardly do worse. There is danger In
the economic conditions that breed
such affairs as at Bayonne, New Jer-
sey. An affair unpleasantly like what
occurred two years ago at Zabern In
Alsace. National security is menaced
far more by such happenings than by
any possible hostile foreign invasion.
The American people have far more
cause for concern over the Lawson
case - an outrage within their own
jurisdiction-than over any matter con-
nected with the war in Europe. There
is little consistency In worrying over
the expectation of arms for foreign
belligerents, while a domestic trade In
arms goes on to be used against strik.
ing workers in the United States.
There is less consistency In raising 8
hulIabaloo about national defense while
we allow workers to be subjected to
predatory monopolies already estab-
lished in the country. Before we busy
ourselves with armies, navies or forti-
|fications, with wars in Europe or Mex
leo, or with preparations against an
imaginary foreign enemy, let us de-
monstrate our ability to deal intelli.
gently with the real enemy that Ia

ming to cooperate. Formerly they not
only would not cooperate when living,
but they would not even cooperate
when dead. All over the South one
finds family burying grounds going to
ruin and looking as if they did not

used to say. In view of the frequent
changes in land ownership in the South,

order, our rural burying-places might
be made objects of beauty instead of
examples of carelessness and neglect
as is now the general rule.
Another thought that cannot be too
often emphasized is this-that every
where the country church ought to be
a genuine social center for the COM
munity, "meeting-house" indeed, and
not simply a place to hear preaching
once week or once a month. The
writer passed an old church the other

get our people out of the individualism
of the past and helps develop the COM
munity spirit ought to be encouraged.
The true Democrat., 1915-08-14
HAY SHOULD BE FED TO STOCK
UNLESS PRICES ARE EXTRA GOOD

1T is mistake for our farmers to
sell their hay crop unless the prices
received are such as to cover both the
feeding and fertiIizing value of the hay
If fed at home" says e. L. Jordan of
he Louisiana State University. ut is
seldom that the price received equals
both these values, and the fertilizing
value, at least, is lost. A balanced
farm should carry enough live stock
to consume all the roughage and grain
the farm can produce. If more hay is
produced than is needed at home then
tonly the best should be sold, as the
inferior grades will not bring enough
on the market to justify selling but
will have a bad effect on the market.
Thus lespedeza which is one of the
very best hays to be had when properly
harvested is often not in demand for
the reason that all sorts of practically
worthless material has been marketed
as lespedeza hay. The stability of the
hay market, like that of any other
market, demands standard grades and
unless these grades are maintained the
really first quality of hay suffers
severely.
"Lespedeza must be harvested early
for the best results. That harvested
later should be fed at home, or used
for bedding, as should also the hay cut
from pastures and fields containing
mostly native grasses. Every ton should
be harvested, but that Of poorer quality
should find it's way to market only in
the form OF some class Of live stock or
heir products"

THE SOCIAL MEAN.
youths Companion.l

When you first settle in a place, it
seems hard to get start. You know
no one; no one knows you; and you
wonder whether any one wants to
know you. Then the visits begin to
come. There is the church connection.
There is the club connection. Will
you serve on this committee, on that
committee? 1t will take very little
time and will help you to get acquaint-
ed. 1t takes good deal of time, but
it does certainly help you to get ac-
Quainted. Very soon you know all the
people you want to know, and some
whom, it appears, you could very we'll
get along without knowing.
When you sit down to think the mat
ter over, you find the pace is getting
too fast for You. You could fill every
The true Democrat., 1915-08-14

afternoon and evening two or three
times over with committee meetings
and luncheons and dinners, and parties
and concerts, and lectures. They are
all pleasant, but they take time and
strength; and your children want you
and your husband wants you, and your
kitchen needs you, and your sewing
machine needs you desperately. Fur.
thermore, you did think at one time
that it would be pleasure to cultivate
your mind, but that was very long ago.
So you resolve to moderate, to find
the mean between going everywhere
and going nowhere; but that is ex-
ceedingly difficult. If you accept Mrs.
AS invitation, you will find it hard to
refuse Mrs. BIS, and by the time you
have declined C's and DIS, e thinks it
hardly worth while to remember you.
Moreover, the merely casual frequenter
Ehpf social gatherings loses the tone of
them, loses that common stock of gos-
sip and small talk that makes the
habit of such gatherings easy and di-
verting. Then, if you 60 only seldom
you soon become disinclined to go at
all.
1t is thus that the social habit eats
up time, eats up thought, eats up life.
AS is true of many other good things,
you can hardly get enough of it with
out getting too much; yet, after all,
the touch of others hands, the sight of
others eyes, the sound of others
voices are worth more than almost
anything else in the world.
