THE GREAT WITHIN

(Orison Sweet Marden in Nautilus)
The keeper of menagerie once
tried the experiment of raising
young dog and tiger cub in the same
cagk. The two grew together, ate
together, played together and slept
together as tremendously as If they
belonged to the same family. The
puppy. being larger at the start, do
mineered over the tiger cub, knocking
him over with his paws and assuming
the attitude of master and leader not
only in their play but on all occasions.
But although much the smaller of the
two, the dog was still the master,
and when they quarreled he would
dAive his antagonist into corner
where he would lie down and put up
his paws in selfdefense and as though
appealing for mercy.
Finally their owner decided to
separate them and removed the dog
from the cage. No sooner did the
tiger miss his companion than he be-
gan to pine away and lose his spirit.
He refused to eat, and would take
notice of no one. Alarmed at his con-
dition. the keeper brought the dog

playmate the tiger rushed to the front
of the cage, put his paw out between
the bars in a effort to get at him. The
dog stretched his paw up to meet the
tigers and they were evidently over
joyed to see each other again. Not
withstanding the fact that if the
Jungle beast realized and put forth
his strength he could easily have
killed dozen dogs, he could not for
get his habit of submission to his
babyhood companion, and when the
dog was put back into the cage he i'm
mediately assumed his old ascendency
over tho tiger.
Most, of us are like this tiger. We
have formed this habit of covering
before things that have no power over
us except what our imagination gives
them. This habit has beld us in slav-
cry so long that it has become a part
of our very being. We do not seem
to realize that there is something
within us that can laugh at Fate,
something far greater than a tigers
strength which we have inherited from
our divine parent, something which
makes us masters of circumstances
and gives us dominion over everything
In the universe.

THE IRRESPONSIBLE SPIRIT

There are always lot Of people
who refuse to take their part IN the
measures necessary for the benefit OF
the community. You can see examples
of it every day.
For instance, driver with heavily
loaded truck pulled into Beldlng from
somewhere the other day, stopped his
machine, and proceeded 20 deliver his
stuff. 1t took him something over
half an hour. All that time he left
his motor running. That motoc was
needlessly wasting gasoline every
minute of his stay.
If the driver noticed it, he probab-
~ argued that the gallon or two ne
might be throwing away would be
worth but Is or so cents, and that his
employer would never feel or know the
difference. Perhaps he was one OF
the men who complain about the UNI
satisfactory wages they earn. If SO,
one reason for the same is the waste
full habit of so many workers VINO
never consider the interest OF their
employer. or the necessity OF CO.
operation in community measures OF
economy.
And 50 it goes IN all the poIlcles
that ought to be adopted for public
benefit. A man may think that the
few cents worth Of gasoline ne wastes
are not enough to amount to anything.
But If everyone wastes in the same
spirit, the supply is depleted. the price
is advanced, and another item added
to the costs Of everyone who does
business. So it is in the waste OF
paper stock, food and fuel supplies and
everything the community needs but
finds scarce and high.

How to Cut Corn
For Filling SiIOs

Corn cut when the grains have
reached the glazed stage contain al
most twice as much digestible matter
as corn cut at tasseling time; corn cut
at glazing time, therefore, is best for
silage.
These statements, says Andrew
Boss, vice director of the Minnesota
Experiment station, are based on an
alyses made by chemists Of the Do
minion Of Canada at Ottawa, which
show that the corn from an average
acre cut at the glazing period contains
1903 pounds of digestible matter as
against 4. 220 pounds when the corn is
cut at tasseling time.
Samples of corn were analysed"
says Mr.. Boss, "that had been taken at
all stages from tasseling to silking,
early milk and late milk, and glazing.
These analyses show strongly In ia
vor of allowing the corn to reach that
stage of maturity when the kernels are
well denied or glazed before it is cut.
At that time the lower leaves are US
ually beginning to turn yellow. The
figures show that while there is
large amount of green corn on the
acre when the corn is IN the tasselng
stage, the total amount of dry matter
is not nearly SO great then as when
the corn has glazed.
"The dry matter per ton amounts to
285 pounds at the tasseling stage. 323
at the silking stage, 389 in the early
milk, 444 at the late milk, and 523
pounds at the glazing stage.
IF there is any danger of frost, corn
should be cut early rather than al
lowed to wait for the maximum
pounds of dry matter"

kind we boys used TO see many years

work here and there, making enough
to feed and clothe himself. He was
a genial old party, full of all sorts of
stories he had picked up in busy life,
tramping al over the earth, and Mex
