PLAN NOW TO PLANT
CROPS FOR SlLAGE
(By C. A. Hutton, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By c. A. Hutton, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
At this season of the year farmers
generally are busy with field work
and are apt to neglect planning for
crops for filing the silo. The best
yield Of silage is made by planting the
crop on weil-prepared ground at the
usual complaining time. Good yields
are secured, however, by planting on
stubble land after a crop of wheat,
oats, rye, or barley has been harvest
ed. A good seed bed should be pre-
pared by use of a subsoil pillow and
disc harrow. This should be done as
soon as possible after the winter crop
is harvested, while the land is still
moist and mellow
Corn is the best crop to plant for
silage Any variety which makes a
good yield of grain in the locality will
make a good variety for silage., 1t is
usually best to plant one of the large
growing, prolific varieties, however,
owing to the large tonnage secured.
Sorghum or cane makes large yield,
but the snage is hardly as nutritious
as corn alone. A mixture of about 0
to pounds corn and to pounds
sorghum per acre gives excellent re-
suits The corn and sorghum may be.
mixed and planted with an ordinary
corn drin, and cultivated as one would
cultivate corn. The sorghum adds sue.
culence to the silage and gives a
larger yield than corn alone.
Cow peas and soy beans may be mix
ed with corn or sorghum for silage,
and they add palatability and protein
to the silage, but do not preserve in
the silo quite as we'll as corn or cane.
1t is usually best to plant these crops
for hay to be fed dry with silage.

TIME TO pRuNE NOW.

(By c. A. Keffer, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Late April and early May is the best
time to prune- trees in Tennessee.
Peach trees may be pruned earlier, and
grapevines that have not yet been
pruned should have the work done
when the new growth Is few inches
long, at which time the greatest care
Is necessary to avoid breaking the new
shoots but apples and pear trees
especially are best pruned now.
If the trees are Of bearing age, be-
gin pruning at the top, and remember
that the purpose of pruning is to let
sunshine reach the fruit spurs in the
lower part of the crown. Prune heav-
lest at the top. 1t is better to cut out
many small limbs than one large one.
Do not make holes In the crown, but
endeavor to distribute the light evenly
throughout. Prune less and less as
you go down the tree, and at the lower
part of the crown remove nothing but
dead wood.
Young trees should be pruned to
give them a symmetrical shape. with
strong skeleton branches so paced as
to provide for the best distribution of
light throughout the crown when the
tree is in full bearing. The main
branches should radiate from the
trunk like spokes from wheel hub.
Avoid crogs-branching and narrow
forking. Do not cut out the small
branches on the lower limbs-they are
needed to shade the trunk and main
branches. thus preventing sun scald.
Cut back last years shoots from one
third to one-half, to make them stalky
tall. slender trees can never carry
heavy crops), then the last years
shoots to provide plenty of room and
light for those that remain. Remove
water sprouts as they appear through
the summer.

ADVANCING AGE OF MARRIAGE.

Comparison Between Present Condi-
tions and Those of Few Years Ago.
The average age of the community
is becoming older it was pointed out
by the president of the Royal Statistl-
cal Society of London recently. It is
interesting to note that the age Of
marriage has also the same tendency.
According to the available returns
as many as 10000 girls marry in Eng
land in a year under the age Of Fl,
that is in less than one-seventh Of
the marriages registered. Thirty
years, a generation, ago, more than
one-fifth of the women marrying in
a year were minors.
Another interesting fact that seems
to prove this tendency to later mar
rage is provided by the figures of
the last decade. In 1907 the number
of marriages Of women between the
ages of Fl and Is were just over
5000 more than in 1898, while the
marriages of women between the
ages of Is and 90 increased by just
over 10000.

At almost any drug store you may OBJ
tain S. S. s., the famous blood purifier,
and you then have the veritable wizard
that makes all blood troubles vanish. Your
stomach takes kindly to S. S. S., it rushes
into your blood, is a purifying wave, makes
the liver, kidneys, bladder and skin work
in harmony; stops accumulations that have
caused rheumatism, catarrh, swollen glands,
sore throat and skin eruptiOns.
Just as food makes blood, so does S. S. S.
follow the process of digestion to stimu-
late natural secretOns to protect us against
the ravages of disease germs. We are well
aware of the fact that these germs are
apt to be latent within us to break forth
in violent eruptions of the skin whenever
the system is in a low state of resistance.
And it is to both prevent these eruptions
or to get rid of them that Nature gave US
such an ally as S. S. S. 1t is purely
vegetable, contains no mercury, and yet it
.OvercOmes those serious troubles for which
mercury has been employed for ages. In
