It has long been recognized that

This represents an almost absolute
contradiction of some of the ideas,
often accepted even by physicians,
with regard to the relation of comfort
in nonvariable temperatures to efi-
cheney and helpfulness.

PROPER TIME TO FILL SILO
Begin Operation Soon as Corn Has

(By J. G. WATSON. Missouri Expert

Don't wait too long to fill the Silo.
Begin as soon as the corn is right for
fodder The kernels should be in the
dough stage but dented and the lower
leaves turning brown. Let the corn
mature as much as possible without
becoming so dry that water must be
added to make the silage pack solidly
and ferment properly.
Cut into pieces half to three fourths
of an inch long to make them pack

I'VE Americans are prone to over

large motor car company. AT least
that is the accusation made by our Eu-

'Apropos of what?" you ask.

will either tell you they do not know,
or II perchance one has happened to

seen in Michigan or Nebraska.
Your travelled American will ex.

pronerly Balanced Farming.

In most cases where studies of the
profits in farming have been made.
particularly in our oldest agricultural
districts, such studies indicate that
the most successful farms are those
which have from two to four major
sources of income, !. e., they have a
well-balanced and diversified business
In certain instances it may pay better
to have only one enterprise, but usual
ly when one crop pays much better
than all others, the production of 1t in
creases rapidly and soon the price
falls to the point where other crops
or products are equally as profitable,
Diversified farming is often confused
with farming where there is little of
everything and not much of anything.
Either extreme lessons the chances OF
success. When the price of certain
crops Is very low then live stock usu
ally becomes desirable. However, II

ORCHARD
GLLANINGy
CONTROL OF ORCHARD PESTS
Certain Fungous and Bacterial Dis.
eases Which Are Best Fought
During the Winter Season.

In the management of the orchard,
especially the apple and pear orchard,
there Is a period after the fruit is
gathered, and perhaps after other
crops have been safely harvested that
is most convenient for doing some Of
the careful work in the control OF
certain diseases and pests. There are
certain fungous and bacterial diseases,
particularly pear blight and apple
cauker which are best worked upon
at this time These diseases are prin-
cipally controlled by the eradication
methods rather than by spraying.
Pear blight is bacterial disease
which works mostly in the feshy,
growing, tender parts of the tree, In
cluding the blossom clusters, young
twigs, and the bark of larger branches,
and even Oh the body, collar, and root
system of the tree. Under certain
conditions the bacteria spread into the
wood to considerable extent. The
disease attacks the pear, apple, ounce,
and other related fruits.
Pear blight eradication Is quite a
careful piece Of work. 1t requires
close attention on the part Of the or

help who may be engaged in 1t. Re.
member that thoroughness Is essen
tial for success. 1t is not necessary
to determine in all cases whether the
blight is alive or dead on the lower
margin, although somewhat helpful as
q guide in determining how low to go.
In actual practice it Is better to cut
out all the dead limbs and all the
blight anyhow regardless Of whether
It Is dead case or not.
The blight eradication should al
ways precede the pruning. Other
pruning for shaping up the trees may
be done, IL preferred, before leaving
the trees, or may be postponed until
some convenient time later, but OF
course, before the buds push in the
spring.

GUS as we'll as personal, and that
through such discipline man may

ski, the Russian novelist, to the rid
die of the ages.
The words he put into the lips OF
Father Zossima may be taken as sum
ming up his message to mankind.
Brothers, have no fear of mems
sin. Love man even in his sin, for
that is the semblance of divine love,
and is the highest love on earth.
Loving humility Is marvelously
strong, the strongest of all things, and
there Is nothing else like it."

TRAMP SILO WHILE FILLING
One or Two Men Needed to Give ST.
lage Such Compactness as Will
Insure Its Proper Curing.

The Importance of tramping while
filing is one that must be given con
sideration. In a silo at least one or
two men are needed in order to give
the silage such compactness as will
insure proper curing. The outside or
near the silo wall should be kept the
highest and made in the most compact
condition. This will prevent spelling
which is so very frequent in poorly
packed silage.
If the silo is filed quickly and poor
ly tramped, there will be a large
amount of settling. Where a farmer
owns his own outfit 1t will pay to
allow this settling to take place for
one or two days and then fill up the
silo.

GREAT MANS PRIVATE LIFE
immortal German Man Of Letters
Known to Have Had His Share OF
the Failings Of humanity

g. e . +.
The twenty second Of March is the
anniversary of the death OF Goethe
Germanys most renowned poet and
prose writer. When he passed away
all Europe took note OF the death OF
her most distinguished son. Johann
Wolfgang Goethe was born IN l74s at
Frankfort -the-Main and died at
Weimar, March %, 1882. When Ma
poleon | and the emperor Of Russia
met at Erfurt, near Weimar, in 1903,
the conqueror of Europe patronized
Goethe by summoning him to a private
audience which lasted nearly an hour,
and gave, it was said, mutual satisfac-
tion. Goethes Juvenile production.
"The SorrowG of Werther.' seized up
on the sentimental spirit OF the time
and rendered him famous. Though
genuine and characteristic work, he
outgrew it's philosophy and lived to re-
gret it. His friendship and cooperation
with Schiller is one of the most lovable
things in his long and busy life.
There Is something in Goethe's
greatness that was not always pleas
ing and that could scarcely be excused
by his friends and warmest admirers.
He feared to marry" said conlmen-
tator on his life and literary labors.
'lest he should cripple his freedom.
Not that he professed such motive.
but this is the only explanation that
SO many of his loves stopped short OF
marriage. The names of women in his
works mostly belong to real charac-
ters. Continually in his autobiography
one comes upon traces of love az
fair and besides obscure cases we
have Gretchen, Kaethchen, Frederika,
Lotte, Lii, Bettina, Frau Won Stein

fungi growing comparatively slowly In

enter in the twigs, fruit spurs, or

some kinds of cankers infect directly
