SAFE TO ENTER SILO
IF BOTTOM DOORS OPEN.

How to avoid the dangerous silc
gas is again a question, now that The
silo filling season is here. The one
safe, sure way, according to G. S
Humphrey of the College Of Agri-
culture, is eve to go down into a silo
where carbonic gas has had a chance
to accumulate without first getting
some circulation of air.
Most of the danger from silo gas
is in the pit silo, or silo filed within
6 to 10 feet of the furface, where there
is not opportunity for circulation OF
air." says Mr.. Humphrey. Some
draft must be produced before any one
enters the silo, either by opening the
doors at the bottom, by directing the
blower into the silo, or by putting in
some newly cut silage.
"The gas is a natural result Of Ter
mentation of silage. 1t is dangerous
only when it accumulates. Circala-
ton of air drives it out.
IF there is any question about the
safety of the silo where gas might
accumulate, it is we'll to lower a light
ed lantern or candle into the pit. II
the light burns, the silo is safe"

THE OTHER

Yous are a s~elf-centered idealist.
You are a selfish dreamer.
Your head is always in the clouds
so high you have little time to re
alize there are those around you de-
serving of interest.
Always you are meeting people
who inquire kindly, How are your
How are you children? ?" How are
you getting along?"
And always you are polite enough
to thank them, perhaps; but you new
er get any further in your enthusiast
tic recital of your own projects about
which they have seen fit to inquire.
Reverse the matter.
Be the first to ask about the other
fellow.
Head him off by showing interest
in the matters which are of such
great interest to him.
And be honest in this.
Warm your own sou by listening
to the plans with which he is occu-
pied.
1t will do you good to wake up once
in a while and really give some con-
sideration to those about you.
You are becoming too selfish and
