Ways to Seal the siln.

In a good Silo the contents are pro
tected from the air ON all sides excepl
the top. The air always spoils some
Of the silage on the top unless fe2dnla
IS begun as soon as the sllO is filed
Various methods for preventing this
waste have been tried One is TO cover
the Siage with straw and then soak
this protecting layer well with wafer.
This keeps out the air fairly well and
the waste is only slight Another
method is To SOW oats on toa Of the
silage. When they germinate the den-r
mass excludes the air.
The simplest and probably the mos,
practical method is to remove the ears
from the last three or four loads of
cornStalks brought to the ens.Iage cut
ter and then run just the stalks
through. IN that way the corn itself
is not wasted and the loss from tho
stalks is but slight

FUNNY MONEY IN CHINA.
Getting or Making Change Is a Sore
Trial to a Foreigner.

Getting or Making Change Is a Sore
Trial to a Foreigner.
A dollar Of our money in Chinese
cash weighs eighteen pounds.
In Chentefu, which is small village
where white people seldom go, was
going along with my guide when I saw
a small peddler beside the street with
some fine Peking pears. l bought six
Of them for 2la cents and in payment
gave the street peddler twenty cent
piece. He turned it over and over and
tested it with his thumb nail, which
was surely made for the purpose. The
peddler gave back the coin and said
that he would not take it. The guide
asked him why, and he explained that
he had never seen any such money and
that it might be bad. So bad to dig
up some coppers.
In all his life the peddler had never
seen piece Of silver money. There
are thousands and thousands Of people
in China whose financial dealings new
er amount to enough to have it put
into silver, who are born. grow old and
pass to theiryreward without ever hav
ing seen a piece Of silver.
All China is suspicious about money
Every time you put down dime or a |
piece Of silver the other person tests it |
before he will take it. ringing it on the
counter or on the pavement. You can't
give a merchant the right amount of
change and walk off. He won't let
you leave until he has tested every
piece, and he always gives back one OF
two pieces. He wouldn't think very
much Of himself as a merchant If he
didn't refuse some of your money.
If you buy something In one part OF
a store, get your change and walk to
another counter and buy something
else and give the change that has Just
been given you the second clerk on
general principles will refuse part of it.
Before you buy anything your money 8
has to have the once over. Sometimes
t is maddening to have to wait while
your money is tested. One day / rush
I'd up to catch train with just min
lte TO spare. One Of my dollars was

THE building of good roads is Z"
mans work" It cannot be done Just
So" There must be definite planning
and thorough system and capable super
vision. "To make the best use Of road
funds they should be spent under the di-
rection of men who have devoted their
lives to the study and practice of road
building" These men must be paid ad-
equately for their services, and these ser
vices should be available for all the
counties and districts through which the
roads under construction run. 1t may not
be practicable for single counties to en-
ploy the best engineering ability in the
construction of their roads but this diff
Guilty can be largely overcome if the coun
ties will all join in the work Of building |
up the State highway departments from

technical advice as might be required in
the solution of their several difficult prob

the Convention at Dover. was blow tC
Republican work in Delaware, which
may cause trouble at the next State Pri-
mary Elections; but it would be a crime
against the entire country to permit the
personalities of factions to split the party,
and bring Democratic success in Della
ware. The stakes are high United
States Senator, a Representative in Con-
gress, a Governor and the entire State
ticket, as well as the county governments,
are all prizes to fall to the victor. In the
county affairs it is directly touching the
people, and especially of Sussex County,
where the Levy Court will be selected to
put into force the new laws which will
create new era of reform, and which
will depend entirely upon the ability of
the men elected to fill the positions Re-
member at all times this fact, viz that
all Republicans supporting the organiza-
tion are Republicans; and that all the
men who believed and supported Cover
nor Miller in his desire to go to the Natl
onal Convention, are Republicans; and |
that all are desirous for the success of the |
Party. That there was fraud |
practiced in Wilmington at the last pri-
maries, can not be truthfully denied but
the warning, and experience of the men
Implicated in that fraud, as well as those
who upheld the fraud at the Convention
It Dover, should be sufficient to make

THERE is one thing in the politica
situation in Delaware that all Republican.
will do well to keep in mind, and that i.
the men who have different opinions a.
to means and ends to be obtained during
the campaign just opening, are all Re
publicans, and all hope to elect the entire
Republican ticket. There never was a
time when the National Government
needed a Republican Senator and a Re-
publican Representative in Congress from
Delaware more than it will during the
next six years, and the individual inter-
ests and personal animosities Of State
affairs will have to for once become sub
servient to the needs Of the greater natl

In one room is a balance so sensi- |

heat sufficient to disturb its accuracy.
In another there is one so delicately
adjusted that 1t shows the loss Of
weight due to the reduction Of the
earth's attraction when two pieces of
metal are weighed one upon another
instead of side by side.

WHAT is worth having is worth max
ing a fight for. This is true in civic as
well as business life, and the truth will
prevail even after the most bitter and
unfair attack. In a small village in Sus-
sex County a citizen who chafed under
the local conditions came to the CHRoNI-
Gle two years ago and asked help in
getting better social conditions, and
especially improvement in the public
schools, which had got into a channel
shaped by a few non-progressive men,
and the schools were not delivering to
the children the education that the peo-
pie were paying for. The fight ran
through two months, and the public be-
came aroused to the extent of looking
into the conditions, aud the result de-
sired followed The men responsible
did not realize that they were failures in
their school work, until it was shown to |
them, and they resented the public criti-
cism, even calling their critics bitter
names but the truth won in the end, |
and the citizen recently wrote Us, and |
said
1--WE won out in our school fight, as
we have two of the most proficient and
efficient teachers in Sussex County for
our school at present. The children are
making much greater progress than ever
before and all seem satisfied"
It requires moral courage on the part
of the women and on the part of the
men and of everybody in all districts and
communities, to enforce the laws for the
better conditions desire for all to enjoy.
In commenting upon the civic condi-
tons of his home village, a gentleman :
wrote to the CHRONICLE as follows: {
THE civic conditions surrounding our '
community are very bad, extremely bad {
which is a most unfortunate thing. The
church is in bad condition, and the morals
of our village are not what they should
be, possibly no worse than some other .
places.
"At recent election held in our church
by the members, when it came to voting, .
there were FOUR MORE VOTES CAST /
than there were members present some
thing that did not look very we'll v

ack of interest in anything pertaining 81
o the moral uplift. Absolutely no de- n
ire for anything of that kind Those
rho are in a position to take up BET nj
'ER MOVEMENT, are afraid of offend Fl
1g others. -
This letter clearly shows the lack Of 70
ourage on the part of the class of men m
nd women who should face the respon- is
bility of doing an unpleasant duty, for st
ieir own as well as for the general good
their village. A firm stand against
