DESTRUCTIVE ENEMY
OF OUR WHEAT CROP
Suggestions Made for Fight on
the Hessian Fly.
Specialists Recommend Crop Rotation
and Not Sowing on StubbIe Where
Possible to Avoid-PIow
All Land Early.

The Hessian fly, one Of the oldest
and at times one of the most destruct-
i've enemies of the wheat crop in the
United States, is again on the increase.
Specialists of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture make the fol-
lowing suggestions for combating the
pest:
Practice crop rotation. Do not SOW
wheat on stubble if it Is possible to
avoid doing so.
Plow under oil infested stubble and
ruined wheat, where practicable, soon
after harvest.
Destroy all volunteer wheat by har-
rowing, disking, blowing, or some 9TH
er method.
Pillow all land to be sown to wheat as
early and deeply as existing conditions

We print these grateful words from
this dear lady, so that sufferers every

faith-just enough to give eatonic a
trial. Why, folks. last year over half
million people used eatonic and
found relief.
This is the secret: Eatonic SIM

of the body. OF course, when the
cause is removed, the sufferer gets

seventy non-organic diseases, so, If
you are suffering any kind Of misery,
not feeling well, go right to your drug

eatonic; cost is a trifie. Use it and
find quick, sure relief.
Make this test-you will see, and
then, if you are not satisfied, your
druggist will hand your money back.

TONNAGE OF SILO
Weight of SiIage Varies at Different
Depths-TabIe Taken From Mis-
souri, Station.

A large number of stockmen are
buying winter feed in the form OF
sliced corn. The problem Of estimat.
ing the tonnage in a silo is usually
a difficult one. The following table
is taken from Circular 80 Of the Mis-
souri, experiment station.
Silage at a depth of five feet weighs
1874 pounds per cubic foot; at ten
feet it weighs 80 pounds per cubic
foot: at Is feet, 1854 pounds; 20 feet,
37.5 pounds; % feet, 1873 pounds; 80
feet, 80 pounds; and at 40 and so feet
the silage averages 40.3 and Ala
pounds respectively.
To find the capacity of the silo:
Multiply one-half of the inside diam
eter by itself, then by 3.1416, and then
by the depth of the settled silage. This
gives the volume. Multiply this by the
weight of silage at that depth. This
will g:"s the capacity in pounds. Di-
vide nv 1000 to get the weight in tons.

His HEARING Restored

The invisible antiseptic ear drum
invented by Mr.. A. o. Leonard, which
Is in reality miniature megaphone,
fitting inside the ear and entirely out
of sight, is restoring the hearing of
literally hundreds of people in New
York City. Mr.. Leonard invented this
remarkable drum to relieve himself of
deafness and head noises, and it does
this so successfully that no one could
tell that he is a deaf man. This ear
drum is effective when deafness Is
caused by catarrh or by perforated or
wholly destroyed natural drums. A
request for information addressed to
A. o. Leonard, Suite 81, 70 Fifth ave-

TO stand without this protection. 1t
is also essential that he tighten loose
hoops in order that no cracks or crew.
ices allow air seepage. If the hoops
have been kept tight, however, during
the period that the silo is empty, they
should be loosened just before filling
to prevent buckling or breaking Of
hoops due to swelling when the dry
slaves absorb moisture from the green
silage.
Look for Cracks in Old siIos.
In the case of wooden silos it may
be advisable to cement around the
bottom of the silo where the founda-
ton joins the superstructure. In the
case Of old silos it will be profitable
for the farmer to go over them careful
ly to look for cracks, and where he finds
them to seal with tar and oakum, wood
filler, or other effective material. If
the bottom of the silo has decayed
slightly, the owner may saw off what
ever amount is necessary, and then, by
the use of blocking, gradually lower
the silo to the foundation again, ce-
menting around the base as previously
described.
When the silo Is alright and able
to stand the most rigid inspection,
the owner may consider the actual
work of filling. A wise precaution is
to place several feet Of straw in the
bottom of the silo to act as a protective
blanket between the bottom Of the
silo and the feed, as ordinarily silage

age.
Must Tramp It Down Well.
In the actual operation Of filling the
silo 1t Is Of paramount Importance that
no air pockets be left; this is pre-
vented by sufficient tramping. It de-
ponds largely on the diameter of the
silo how many men should be used to
tramp the ensilage, but even In silos
as small as IL feet in diameter, if
sufficient help is available, at least
three men should be used with an In
crease in the force as the size of the
SilO increases.
The proper sealing Of the silo also
is important, because where the silo is
correctly topped off there usually is
a minimum loss of the succulent feed.
A good plan is to snap the ears from
the last three or four loads of corn
which are run into the silo. Straw
or coarse hay may also be used as a
topping. Then oats should be sown

has been thoroughly moistened. if nec-
essary, although as a rule the corn,

USE SULPHUR AS FERTILIZER
Demonstrated in Many Cases That IL

on Alfalfa.

Much evidence has been accumulate
ed during the past five years to show
that sulphur in many cases constitutes
a valuable fertilizer agent and in
many cases gives remarkable results
when applied in the presence of lime.
In particular, remarkable results have
attended its use on alfalfa. Amounts
of 100 pounds to the acre have in
many cases given remarkable increase

Swatting the Professionals

that there are a number of men on

petty behests. rather than to respond
to the nationwide and world wide in
