very ordinary exterior. You have
met people who have focused your
attention the moment you met
them. They were not handsome in
any way. If you analy2ed their
features you found them ordinary.
Aud yet the spirit within was so
radiant that YOU found it hard to
look away from them.
The reason there are so many
people you can describe as look
ing like everybody else is that they
allow themselves to get into ruts.
They accept their opinions ready
made. They do no original think
ing. They are content to follow in
the steps Of those about them,
without stopping to ask where they
are going. And the result is that
they become commonplace. There
is nothing about them to disting-
uish them, Nature may have done
much for us in the way of form
and feature, but it is our own fault
if we are insignificant, for char
acter and strength can set upon
the plainest face a mark of dis.
tinction which il would be impoS-
sihle to overlook.

INC i:m2. p.-&5o tel HS hcw much
silage the-e is in it. 1t was flied five
weeks ago and tie siagc is still hot.
We sprinklca it good while ii was
going through the machine, We have
not fed any of it yet. How long will
il remain hot?
A siIo twelve feet in diameter and
filled to a depth of tWenty-one feet
should contain approximately forty
eight tons of silage. We are sur
prised to know that your silage is
still hos after having been put up so
long ago. This would indicate that
there was evidently not enough mois-
ture in the crop when it was put
into the siIo, or you did not add a
sufficient amount when the silo was
being filled, or else the silage was
not properly tramped out against
the side wall, or the structure it
self is not air-tight Any or all Of
these causes would contribute to the
production of a condition such as
you describe. 1t might not be q bad
thing If you are in position to run
some water on top of this silo to
give it a thorough soaking down.
This may help to cool it out and
Will not hurt the silage. If, how
may find that some of the silage
around the edge of the structure is
spoiled. In that event do not feed
it. Musty, mouldy or damaged sill
age is not satisfactory for any class
of stock and should not be fed to
them.

The best practice in fighting the
boil weevil is to turn the cotton
stalks under Immediately and bury
them as deeply as possible. Any
means which will enable you to bury
them completely in the soil will be
found both desirable and ad-
vantageous. The sooner the work is
done the better it will be. 1t is de-
sirable as a rule to turn the cotton
stalks under four to six weeks before
frost occurs. Root them up with a
bull tongue, or any way which will
cause them to die quickly is an adj
vantage and of course is better prac-
tice than allowing them to die in the
field. However, when the stalks are
buried to a good depth one is much
more likely to kill out a large num-
Der of the weevils. A heavy disk
pillow should be used for this work,
as we think they are the most eff
fective implement for burying trash
with which we are acquainted.
Burning cotton stalks is an OBJ
jectionable practice and should not
be done. You should remember that
it takes about seventy pounds
of nitrogen per acre to produce q
bale of. cotton with the seed, leaf
and stalk. A bale of cotton with the
seed probably only takes away from
the land about tWenty-eight pounds
of nitrogen. Therefore if you burn
the stalks you will see what a ire
mendous loss of nitrogen is likely
to occur. You can secure the same
effect by blowing the land deeply
and burying the stalks as you would
by cutting them down, raking them
up and burying them, and the labor
involved in one operation will not
greatly exceed that involved in the
other operation. In the meantime
you will have cultivated your land
to good advantage, put it in good
condition for planting next spring or
for seeding to crop this fall, and
you will have saved the great loss
Of nitrogen and other plant food
which always occurs when burning
is practiced.
