KEEP SILAGE FROM FREEZING
See That All Ventilation In SiIo Wall
Is Excluded by Closing
Upper Openings.

There is very little that can be done
to prevent silage from freezing
around the edge of the silo I'm severe
cold weather. About the only provi-
sion that can be made is to see that
all ventilation In the silo wall is ex-
cluded by closing the upper openings
of wall and in case there are any
along the bottom, to close these also
says an exchange. If the trouble
comes from the freezing of the
silage at the top, we would suggest
that care be exercised in closing any
ventilation through the roof and. In
addition, it will be found desirable to
cover the top Of the silage with tar
paulin or cloth bags, and in case these
are not available. a covering of straw
will be of some value. The purpose
of the covering is to keep out any
| circulation Of air and to confine all
the heat there is in the silage.

How Burmese Women Smoke.

Merchants smoke their pipes from
dawn until dark. in Korea, writes a
correspondent. They squat down
when they smoke, and as the stems
of the pipes are 3 feet long, the bowl
can rest on the ground. In Bethle-
hem the hOokah is very popular among
the women and il accompanies the
morning and afternoon cOffee-drinking
hour. Several tubes extend from the
water bowl through which the smoke
passes in a cooling process. and the
women gather about the hOokah, each
selecting a tube. and all drawing
smoke from the common bowl. The
Burmese maidens smoke a cigar lO
inches long and as fat as a goOd-sized
candle and with a white paper COW
ering. The longest pipes known are
those used by natives of the Belgian
Congo. These pipes have stems 1O or
II feet long, with small bowls. III
matches were used to light them a
friend would be needed to apply the
flame, but the native gets his light
by merely thrusting the bowl into his
camp fire.

HONORS NOT EASILY EARNED
Japanese WrestIers Who Rise to Fame
Are Deserving of the High Po-
sition They Attain.

Training for japanese wrestler
Is not euSv. The training of our col
lege boys for an athletic event IS child
play in comparison. 1t is not unusual
for n novice to be gaShed and bleed
ing after being knocked about the
hard gravel of private arena. Young
students come out at on cold morn
incs and train until s. Their fat and
muscles are hardened by constant
ramming at wooden posts and their
heads are hardened by being pushed
vigorously against walls. Yet il Is a
career any boy in Japan's villages
aspires to who throws more than the
average number of local rivals.
A champion today has 100 or lOo
"handS" or devices at his disposal. The
aim, worthy one certainly, Is the
maximum of force with the minimum
of disturbance.
Wrestlers are classified into nine
grades, of which only the first three
or four have professional Importance.
In each camp there are three leading
| lights. The champion, the O-Zekl, or
second champion; the Seki-waki, or
second assistant champion; the no
musubi. the assistant TO the second
assistant champion. The supreme
champion is called the Tokodzuna, but
there have only been a score of these
since Japanese wrestling started in
the prepagoda period.

Product for Market-cooling May
Be Done by Placing Carcasses
In Iced Water.

Birds to be killed and marketed
should be kept without feed for at
least II hours before killing, say poul-
try specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture. The best
method of killing is to suspend the
fowl by the legs and through the
mouth cut the jugular vein in the back
of the throat with sharp-pointed
knife. After prosecuting this vein
once or twice cut into the roof of the
mouth so as TO pierce the brain with
the point of the knife, slightly turning
the point after 1t has pierced the
brain.
Fowls to be used at home may be
killed more easily by chopping off
their heads. The fowls may be either
dry picked or scalded. Dry-picking
makes a better-appearing market fowl,
but scalding, which is easier is often
preferred. if the bird is for home use
Dry-picking should be done immedi-
ately after the bird Is killed, as the
feathers then come out more easily
Be careful not to tear the skin. Fol

Tree surgery Is comparatively SIM
pIq and inexpensive and most persons
can. with a little preliminary practlce'
undertake the simpler types OF Tree
repair work that will prove immense
ly profitable in saving fine trees. \
few fundamental principles must be
observed To secure permanently gOOd
results.
OD Remove the dead, decayed. dis
eaSed or injured wood or bark. When
on n limb this can often be done best
by removing the entire limb; on
large limb or on the trunk 1t may
mean at times digging out the decayeu
matter 50 that cavity is formed.
(2) SteriIize all cut surfaces.
CD Waterproof all cut surfaces.
(D Leave the work in the most IA
vOrable condition for rapid healing; !;
this will often mean filling or cover
ing deep cavities.
90 Watch the work from year TO
year for defects and if any appear at
tend to them Immediately.
Removing Large Limbs.
4 large limb rarely should be re-
moved by a single saw cut from the
upper side, as this usually strips the
bark and wood as it falls. a prelim-
mary cut should be made from the un-
der side, beyond the point for the
final cut; and second cut on the up
per side an inch or more beyond the
first one. Then cut the stub close TO
the trunk. a coat of good shellaC
should be applied over the entire area
Of the bark, outer sapwood, and the
cambium Immediately.
CreosOte should be applied to the
rest of the exposed wood not already
| covered by the shellac as protec'
! ton, and the entire shellacked and
creOSOted surface should be finally wa
! terproofed with thick coal tar or as
phalt. Grating wax, particularly the
thick liquid alcoholic kind, is excel
| lent for waterprOOting small surfaces
Another good method of treating the
scars is to char the surface with 6
gasoline or alcohol blast torch anC
then quickly cover the hot surface
with heavy tar. pitch, or hot asphalt
The treated surfaces should b'
watched from year to year and recoat
ed as necessary to preserve the wa
terprOOfing.
In removing small branches ant
twigs the cut should be made as clos,
to the supporting branch as possible
so as to leave no projecting stub. Th
pruning wound must be sterilized an,
water-proOfed. For very small wound
shellac is handy.
When a wound has been allowed t
remain untreated for a year or more
decay producing organisms are almOs
certain to have started an area of de
cay and insect activity behind the eS
posed surface. Such regions ger
orally require excavation of decaye
and diseased wood and sterilizing an
waterproofing of the cut surfaces.

Remove Diseased Wood,

bum.
Remove Diseased Wood,
Remove all the diseased or Insect
eaten or watcr-SOaked wood. In DIS
eascd areas of many years standing
there may be only Il thin she'll OF
healthy wood around the cavity, in
which case the tree must be braced
or guyed. and it is often better re-
moved and replaced by healthy one.
Do not leave cavity so 1t will re-
tain water. In shaping cavity that
is TO be filled with cement, etc, have
the sides undercut. if possible, so as
tO hold the filling more firmly in place.
Inroled bark at the edges of the open
ing should be cut away after the de
cayed and diseased matter has been
completely eXcayated and the edges OF
the sapwood and bark adjoining th~
camhium shellacked. The remainder
of the cavity also must be steriliZed.
Creosote is recommended. Over this
heavy waterproof covering should
be applied.
Filling the cavity is of much less i'm
portance. Often cavity is better left
untitled. A cavity must be watched
from wear to year and any tendency
| of the waterproOfing to crack, split,
or blister should Immediately be coun-
teracted by repainting.
Where sheet-metal covering is used
| there should be narrow half-inch
| ledge of bare wood around the edge
| 10 which the margin of the metal can
| he tackled The cavity must be thor
oughly steriliZed and waterproOfed
and the sheet metal fitted tight at the
| edges.
If a long cavity is TO he filed with
cement or asphalt, il usually is advis'
able to place one or more bolts
through it to hold the wood and filling
more firmly together. Long cavities
as rule, should be bolted every Is
or a inches.
The most widely used material fol
filling cavities is cement, usually II
the form of cement mortar or con
crete. Under certain conditions as
phalt and sawdust and sand used II
combination with cement blocks ~
with wood would be better than eiths
used separately, and they often arr
more economical. Often large piece
of wood or smaller sectional pieces
can be fitted to the opening and the in
terstices filled with the plastic.
