On; account Of the labor shortage,
neighborhood cooperation in, silo fill
Ing should be highly developed during
the current fall. All the silage crops
should be saved without loss, while all
4ilos should be filed to capacity. Five
or six or more farmers who own silos
in one community should combine
their working forces into a crew
Which should rotate from farm to farm
as the corn becomes ripe enough;
Such an arrangement resulting from
the interchange Of neighberhood farm
labor will minimize the expense OF
housing the silage crops.
It is essential that corn should not
be cut for ensilage until it Is mature
and through the dough stage, as re-
peated demonstrations have shown
-conclusively that corn in this condi'
ton is at the peak of nutrient value.
The bugaboo about frosted corn being
wholly unsuitable for ensilage is fall
lacy, as corn which has been damaged
with frost can be converted into very
good ensilage If it is cut shortly after
wards. In the case of badly frosted
corn, however, there occurs .consid-
erable loss Of leaves.
Watering the Chopped Feed.
In case the corn is excessively dry
and wilted at the time of silo filling,
water should be run through rubber
hose into the cutting box and blower
during the filling process so that the
chopped feed may be wet thoroughly
and rendered succulent for future feed
ing. In extreme cases where it is i'm
possible to saturate the corn COM
pletely in this manner, and where wa
ter pressure is available, a second hose
Is sometimes carried over the top OF
the silo so that the water falling on
board inclined against the side OF
the silO and moved at regular intervals
serves efficiently to thoroughly moisten
the forage.
Use Of Elevatino Attachment.
Labor in loading the corn on the
wagons in the field may be reduced by
the use of an elevating attachment,
several standard types of which are
now ON the market. This device Is at

prepared by the United States Depart
1nent Of Agriculture.)
Beets should be pulled and the tops
cut off when the soil is dry. If they
are to be held in the storage room In
the basement or in an outdoor storage
cellar, they should be placed in venti-
loted barrels, loose boxes, or better
still, in crates. If sufficient space is
available In the cellar, 1t is a good plan
simply to place them in small piles
along the wall. Storage in large piles
should be avoided, as it is liable to
ceuse heating and decay.
For storage in banks or pits prepare
the beets as for storage In the room in
the basement or In the outdoor cellar.
Select a well-drained location, make a
shallow excavation, about six inches
deep, line it with straw, hay, leaves.
or similar material, and place the beets
in conical pile on the lining. Make
the bottom of the pile about the same
size as, but not larger than, the bottom
Of the excavation. Cover the beets with
same material as that used for lining
the bottom Of the pit, and carry It up
several inches above the apex Of the
pile of vegetables, having It extend
through the dirt covering. This serves
as a ventilating flue. and It should be
covered with a piece Of tin or a short
board as q protection from rain. The
dirt covering should be two or three
inches thick when the vegetables are
stored, and It should be increased ~
severely cold weather approaches until
1t is a foot or more In thickness. In
finishing the pit the dirt should be
firmed with the back Of the shovel IN
order to make It as nearly waterproof
as possible.
The shallow trench around the base
Of the pit should have an outlet for
carrying of the water. Supplement
the dirt covering with manure, straw,
corn fodder or other protecting mate
rial. Use several small pits instead Of
one large one, as vegetables keep bet

Laughed With Delight.

John Giltroy was not happy. He was
not jealous of Madge's art, but he re-
gretted the slipping by of precious
hours when she could have been at his
side. The time allotted him for court
, ship was scant at best. He knew that
the return to London meant rehearsals
and fatigue that would assuredly re-
uove him at least temporarily from
her horizon.
As for Madge, she felt almost sorry
that Sir John Giltroy had appeared
upon that horizon at all. Her reason
told her that she could not be happy
as the mistress of London mansion
even though the very best people in
the land would be her friends./ Her
heart, in turn, seemed determined to
make her acknowledge that neither
could she be happy amid the apple
blossoms and simplicity Of the country
were not Sir John beside her. he was
so detached from her ideals of life.
Now that she had won heavy laurel
wreath, Madge had only one desire,
and that was to retire from the foot
lights to some quiet country spot and
there steep her soul in nature even as
she had STEPPED her life with the arti-
flcial moods Of the stage. .....

laughingly added. -=a.
Perhaps 1t was because her char
acter for the new play was that Of .
simple country girl that Madge spent
long hours in study Of 1t, or it might
have been that cold reason told her
that in escaping Sir John she was
fortifying her heart against the at
tack. She knew by the look in his eyes
that he would ask her to marry him be-
fore returning to the city.
Even so, Madge found It difficult to
withstand his pleading when he poured
forth his love for her with an ardor
that only 4 deeply affected man pos
sesses. She had not dreamed that a

TEN the silo will still provide wealth

Sealing 10 Neglected.
Sealing of the silo after the struc-
ture is filed is too often neglected.
There are a number Of practical meth
DDS OF topping of the silo 80 as to
minimize waste and spoilage. A COM
mon practice is to level the silage and
then to tramp over the top thoroughly
for 20 or 80 minutes every day for a
week, In order to eliminate air pock-
cts near the top Of the silo and to
thoroughly compact the mass Of feed.
Then oats may be sown after the top
os the ensllase has been thoroughly
soaked with water.
Make Use Of Boys.
The specialists Of the department
recommend the use Of boys In the silO
for trampin9 and packing the ensllage
during the nlling process as conserva-
tive az man laaor as we'll as silo space.
Under this arrangement one man to
hauo.e the distributor pipe with three

saved, but they also will render avail

Madge Lester had won her crown

From slip of a country girl, playing
I'm amateur theatricals, she had ascend

Yet, Madge was still the wholesome,

When Sir John Giltroy was present

So great was the havoc wrought that

to read Sir Johns eyes when they

measure. For the saving of different
kinds of food a whole administration

committee to start a campaign for The
conservation of the greatest crop o.
:lll-children. The success depends
upon reaching the greatest numo3'
of children. This is what our conl-
nl:,tee is art;cularly able to do. We
mlst see that the children of the
presen. arc properly prepared to ta';,:

rem will nc asked to solve the many
social aad economic difcultie:. de-
veloped by the war. Is there any
greater patriotic duty for our home
guard than to safeguard the welfare
of the nations children? 1t is esti-
mated that 100000 children under one
year die annually from preventabl7
diseases We hope to save 100000
lives this year. South Carolina S
quota is 2,149, under the school age.
After the nations soldiers are pro-
yided for the second year of the war

population to preserving the lives OF
the nations children.
