ESTIMATING THE
WEIGHT OF SILAGE

1t is often necessary to estimate the
capacity of silos or the weight of sill
age under various conditions. Such
estimates are usually made by the use
of tables published by silo manufac-
These tables are all based on a table
published by King in 1893. Even
when the tables are used according to
the directions of the originator the
results are too high, and as they are
generally applied the tonnage is'often
estimated rs per cent above the actual
weight of the silage. From a four
year experiment with 80 silos it is ap-
parent, according to G. H. Eckles, of
the University Of Missouri College Of
Agriculture, that no table used for
estimating the capacity of silos and

1t seemed to get colder and colder, we
did not mind it 20 much. At about
eleven that morning. we arrived at .
place called Minden and saw a prison
camp there-just a stockade near the
tracks with the boys out in the open.
We waved to them. and they waved
back and gave cheer-oh or two. We
felt sorry for them, because No knew
we were not going to that camp, and
from what little we saw. we knew We

than they were in. shall never for.

received the only cigarette I had while
I was in Germany.
Minden is quite railway center. I
guess. and when we pulled into the
depot. We saw many troops going to
the front or coming back. As at all
important German railway stations.
there was a Red Cross booth on the
platform, with German girls handing
out barley coffee and other things to
the German soldiers. I saw a large
shanty on the platform, with Red
Cross painted over the door. saw
the girls giving barley coffee to the
soldiers, and thought I would have
try at 1t and at least be polite
enough to give the girls a chance Of
refusing me. I was refused all right,
but they were 80 nasty about it that

supply will go and what kind Of dishes
she can prepare from them. To begin
with, she should remember that the
usefulness Of these foods is not de-
pendent on the form in which they are
served, providing, Of course, they are
prepared in wholesome ways. For ex.
ample, an egg used in the preparation
Of mullins, corn bread, custard or Ice
cream goes as far toward making body
protein as when 1t is boiled or poached.
Most housekeepers serve q central
dish of meat or meat substitute for
dinner and for luncheon or supper and
some serve such dish for breakfast.
This habit has the advantage Of assur.
ing regular supply Of the complete
protein foods. but 1t may lead to the
use Of unnecessarily large amounts of
them. A meal may be quite unusual
in form and yet perfectly nutritious.
It may consist Of an unstrained meat
soup containing the meat itself. with
bread. or Of cottage cheese with bread.
butter. fruit, and vegetables. Or. 1t
may seem to consist Of dessert only,
as when strawberry shortcake with
milk as q beverage constitutes q sup
per or luncheon.
The total amount Of complete-protein
food decided on by the housekeeper n
desirable for her family may BE- served
chiefly In the form Of q central meat
dish. or in the form Of soups, vege-
table dishes, and desserts a. the fol-

I fell on my hands and knees, and
about . yard away I saw q cigarette

lieve me when say that I enjoyed
It. There was not much to II, but
smoked It until there was not enough
left to hold In my mouth. and then
used what was left and mixed It With
the bark that We made cigarettes out
of. Incidentally. this bark was great
stun. I do not know what kind Of
tree It was from. but It served the
purpose. Whenever a fellow wanted
to smoke and lit one Of these bark
cigarettes, Q few puffs were enough.
He did not want to smoke again for
some time afterward. and like - not.
he did not want to eat either. They
were therefore very valuable.
