and is nearly always available
when needed. In fact, some thresher-
men now have their silo outfits too,
and do that line of work also, as it
comes after most of the small grains
have been separated. Plenty of
power is required, and this demands
an engine of large capacity, especial
1y if many silos are to be filled.
As the cut corn or sorghum is de-
posted in the silo enough men
should be there to take care of it
and see to its proper distribution and
packing. Where cut into short
lengths practically no air-spaces are
left except about the walls There
it should be tramped heavily. A
conveyor or distributor is advisable,
as it not only makes a better mix
ture of the grain and fodder but will
save at least the labor of one man
in the silo where two or more pre-
viously were employed.
Unless the si1age is to be used at
once, it is good practice to strip the
grain off the stalks of the last few
loads and cut the slower for the top
layers in the si1o. For this purpose,
there is nothing better or more eco
nomical. This of course molds and
is unfit for feed. No other covering
is necessary, but spraying the top
with water, and then tramping once
for each of several days following
will materially assist toward thor
oughly sealing the mass, minimiz-
ing loss, and when opened up the
si1age should come out in excellent
condition. Some thoroughly soak
the top with water, then add guam
tity of oats which of course will ger
inmate and form a thick covering.
This is also a good method.

Live Stock

In raising live stock the successful
farmer fully appreciates the value of
good breed, proper care and scientific
feeding. If any one feature is neg
1ected the full value of the feed is not
secured. The production of live stock
is not, nor has it been for several
years, keeping pace with the increase
in our population and the demands
from abroad. Western ranges have
been developed into farms and East
ern farmers have been so well salts
fed with the high price obtained for
corn, hay and other products that
they have not bothered with live
stock. Because of the increasing de-
mand for meat at home, and the def
cit abroad partly because of the war,
meat will command a very attractive
price for many years to come An
other reason why stock raising should
not be neglected is because the ma
nure from the live stock is indispensa-
bic in maintaining the fertility of the
soil. a subject we will discuss later.

After an introduction, Guthrie helped

talked with the mother In half an hour

Maize came over to him and smiled as

he confessed.
"Of course you are. You never tried

Twin than my youngster does about the
depth of the lake on which he goes.
Before they left, Guthrie crossed over
to the bed and pressed something into
the pale woman's hand. AS he looked
down into her eyes he saw the barred

Secretary Lansing would answer no

him while she called for help.

jewels whose value brought up the
total Of the booty to 533S5 we're taken.
None Of it has YET been recovered.
During her struggle against the in.
truders, Mrs. Armour grasped the bar
rel Of revolver which had been
pressed into her face, tore it from the
hand OF the burglar and tossed it over
her shoulder.
The police believe that pearl
necklace, for which Mr. Armour was
obliged to pay $4,000 duties when he
brought it to this country from France
in 1901, was the loot the thieves
sought. The necklace was appraised
at the time at more than $4,000. This
was not in the Armour residence when |
the robbers forced their way in.
None Of the robbers has been
caught and the police have no clue of (
any value. It is believed that two of
the robbers did the actual thieVing,
