SILAGE TO cheaper RATION
More SiIos Being Constructed Every
Year Because Of Convenience
and Economy in Feeding.

Because of the economy and con-
venience in feeding silage, more silos
are being built every season. This
year will likely see a larger number
erected to ''can" the corn crop.
Seventeen per cent more milk and
% per cent more butterfat was pro-
duced by dairy cows fed largely silage

Josephine Goldman Discusses The Tenl
Hour Lave Great Changes Are
Taking Place. II 81

tremendous changes in the nations
Industrial life are taking place in the
midst Of war. None is greater than
that caused by the Supreme court de-
2cision holding valid the Oregon tenn
hour law for men and its minimum
wage law for women and girls, says
he New York Evening Sun.
: Eleven states have been marking
line, half-heartedly enforcing their
minimum wage laws; in reality, hold-
ng them in allegiance pending the rul-
ling Of the United States Supreme
court. Il
In New York state Senator Wagner
has introduced a bill establishing the
minimum wage principle. In the Dis. /,
trict Of Columbia plans for the intro
ductlon in congress Of a minimum
wage bill have been held up for a year
ID the hope Of favorable decision on
the Oregon statute. Similarly, legis.
lators in a number of states have been
reluctant to- present minimum wage
bills under the rendering of decision
by the Supreme Court Of the United
States.
Arkansas, California. Oregon, Colo
ado, Kansas, Massachusetts, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, Utah, Washington and
Wisconsin are the states that have the
minimum wage laws on their statute
records. In California the authority
of the Industrial commission expired
and enforcement of the law was prac-
tically dropped pending the Oregon
case. In Minnesota it was imperative
because Of an injunction.
Miss Josephine Goldmark, associated
in writing the briefs in the Oregon
case, said after the decision: J.
"As to the ten-hour law for men.
such law is states most urgent
duty. In overwork America finds one
of its most serious menaces to the
public health. People die young in
America. Workers wear out quickly.
The average length of life has been
increased, but fewer adults than ever
live to old age.
"The tired worker Is a great prob
lem for society. The victim of IA
tigue 10 menace to public health and
morals and to national integrity. He
takes to drink and drugs. America
In war needs to conserve it's vigor and
energy. The rested man can do more
work than the man who is fatigued.''

the middle of the ears so that they
hang balanced and horizontal. Ordi-
nary binder twine is strong enough
to support from Is to 20 ears.
Wire racks are cheaper in the long
run and more convenient. A good
form is made from welded or woven
wire fencing, the upright wires being
used as the hangers, and the lateral
wires cut off and bent upward being
used as supports for the individual
ears. The lateral wires, about three
inches long on either side Of the main
upright, are thrust into the butt end
Of the cobb. These racks will last
many years and are easily stored
when not in use. In use, with the
corn upon them, they have somewhat
the appearance Of giant fern fronds.
The central wire is the midrib Of the
leaf, and the ears of corn stand out
on each side like the fern leaflets, or
like leaflets on locust tree.
Wooden Racks Convenient.
Wooden seed racks, in which the
ears are stored in rows on separate
Shelves, are convenient dryers, and
have no drawbacks in dry, breezy
place, although the air cannot circu-
late freely on all sides and dampness
may be held where the row of kernels
rests on the wood.
Only during unusually damp wealth
er at seed-gathering time will fire
be necessary to help the drying. Yet
if heat is applied in a poorly ventilat.
ed place, it will do more harm than
good. If used, the fire should be slow
and long-continued. It should be be.

serted place, through the opposite

Donald.
'Tm afraid there isn't any doubt Of
it," answered Masterman. TITS an
old organic trouble, likely to carry me
off at any time, and progressive in
character. Before I left for the Shet-
lands, the doctor gave me year.
That was ten months ago, and my
experiences haven't heightened the

ploration. haven't you?"
"A little" answered Donald. 1--WE
Americans seem to have taken the
lead since the days Of the Challenger"
''Yes, Yankees have done good
work." said Masterman. "But I've got
them all beaten now. Nobody will
bother his head about the earlier dis
coverles after the next few weeks.
You've heard about the known forms
Of deep-sea life, haven't you?".
Without waiting for reply, he be-
gan to speak about the strange or
ganisms that had been dredged from
the ocean bottom, so that Donald saw
the whole picture in Masterman's
brain. He saw the eyeless fishes that
had abandoned the effort to see, and
fishes with eyes as large as dinner
plates, with which they caught the
CLEANS of phosphorescence that be-
'tokened the pursuit of wandering sea
scavengers. There were fishes that
carried their own lures in the form of
luminous tentacles.
In the abysmal depths, in a realm
of perpetual night, these organisms
perpetuated an inferno of slaughter,
preying upon each other, rowing on
their Unsuitable quest for food.
Masterman leaned forward and
spoke emphahcally.
"When they are brought up-up
through three miles of water-they
explode mostly, Donald" he said. If
they didn't-well, I've seen things that
would make a stout man faint, my
lad"
Paget shuddered as his mind con-
ceived the picture that the old cap
tain painted. He saw the giant mon
sters Of the abyss lurking among the
yellow, carnivorous lilies that bend
and sway in league-long gardens,
catching the plankton, the floating or
drifting organic life of the sea, that
comes down like finest meal from
above, but always ready for larger
prey.
Its murder enthroned, Donald -
said Masterman. "There isn't love
not even maternal love. Nor pity,
either: Suppose our world were like
that"
, He was watching Donald keenly as
he spoke.
@l~ I'VE take life as we find it, Lieu
tenant Paget answered. "But, thank
heaven, life has its compensations,
which make it worth the living" i,

We feel very much assured that
parents or friends of soldiers at
Camp Wheeler have no special occa-
sion to worry about their health or
comfort From many impartial and
reliable sources it is learned that
much of the stir that has been made
about health conditions at the camp
is due to reports that were greatly
exaggerated. There has been some
sickness. but no epidemic of serious
nature, and everything possible is be-
ing done to relieve the situation
which now seems well in hand. The
cause of much of the sickness is the
carelessness or imprudence of the
men themselves. it being difficult to
make many of them adopt the simple
precautions against colds, ETC., that
their own common sense should teach
them.

1t would seem from all the reports
we are able to get that there is less
sickness in our own Company D than
in any unit of the army at Camp
Wheeler The reason for this un-
doubtedly lies in the extraordinary
interest and care exercised over the
men of this Company by their officers.
Few men in the army can be found
who are as keenly alive to the respon-
sibilities of their positions as Capt.
Steitz, and Lieutenants Wills and

AS to how to raise this money,
there are two plans open; by popular
