USE LIME TO SWEETEN SOIL
Beneficial Effects Following its Use
Have Not Been Appreciated
by Many Farmera

Though lime is not fertilizer. It Is
q soil amendment, material added
for its indirect effect upon important
plant foods in the soil, and If the
soil Is in need Of sweetening. Its ef-
feet upon the growing crops will be
immediate and very beneficial.
The practice of applying lime In
some form has been followed for
long time especially in Europe. The
beneficial effects following its use
have been appreciated by farmers
since ancient times. but, strange to
say, In this country its need is not
generally realized to the extent It
should be, and in some sections II is
practically ignored.

DIRECTIONS FOR
F|LL|NC.A SIL0
Everything Should Be in Readi-
ness for Continuous Run
When Cutting Starts.
DENTED EARS ARE FAVORED
Short Lengths Mean Greater Space,
Less Air and Decreased Ii<eii-
hood Of spoIIino-Apply Enough
Water to Molsten.

Silo filling Is hurry-up job in Or
der to get all the growth possible and
to avoid frost. Consequently every
thing should be made ready for a
continuous run when cutting starts.
The cutter should be put in first
class shape, special attention being
given to the knives and knife heads.
An extra set Of knives should be on
hand. The blower. fan and both
knives should run at the rated speed.
Poor joints and a leaky blower mean
more power and clOgging. The cutter
bar should be In good condition and
the knives and bar properly adjusted
to each other. If any extras are like
~ to be needed for the corn binder
they should be on hand.
To Make Best siIage.
Authorities agree that the nearer
ripe the corn is, II it contains enough
water to make good silage, the sweet
er the silage will be and consequently
the more palatable; also the greater
the amount Of digestible nutrient it.
will contain. Roughly speaking, a
majority of the ears should be dented.
When large quantities are to be cut it
is necessary to begin before the corn
Is at its best. otherwise the last cut
will be too ripe.
Shortcut silage means greater silo
capacity. less air space. and If the
corn is little dry. less likelihood OF
spelling. Short cutting, also, means
reduced capacity Of the machine and
more power. If the stalks are coarse
and woody the waste is greater In
lOng-cut silage. In fine stalked corn
that is very green there is less diff
ference between the long and short
cut.
Water 10 Essential.
When corn is very dry from being
overripe or frozen. it Is often neces-
sary to apply water to the silage In
order to make 1t keep. Enough water
should be applied to moisten thor
Oughly the whole mass. There is little
danger of applying too much water.

Hc uTSt CdTOl
in history is the "Gloria in Excelsis"
found in the Roman mass, and in the
Episcopal Book of Common Prayer. 1t
is ascribed to Telesphorus, bishop OF
Rome, about the year A. D. 139, and
is common in both the eastern and
western churches
An old English carol begins with the
notable words:
Behold a simple, tender babe
In freezing winter night,
In homely manger trembling lies,
Alas. a piteous sight.
The "higher critics" have wondered
how the shepherds could watch their
flocks by night. even in winter in
Judea. but this presented no difficulty
to Robert SOuthwell. the author of this
quaint carol, who as Jesuit was i'm
prisoned in the Tower of London, and,
after enduring the tOrtures Of the rack.
was executed in 1894.
A popular carol among the Germans
ls one written by Martin Luther for
his little son Hans. 1t begins:
From the highest heaven l come to tell
The gladdest news which e'er befell
A very sad story is told in connec-
ton with this carol. In order to give
1t realistic effect in a certain Luther
an church it used to be sung by a boy
let down from the roof of the church
dressed as an angel. But one day the
rope broke. and the boy was killed.
This put an end to very beautiful but
dangerous Christmas custom.
At time when the liturgical and
biblical plays were popular the
Christmas carol was an important
feature. In Italy in the time of St.
Francis of Assist, in order to instruct
the people, the villagers came to the
church carrying lighted torches. and
there they saw the scene of the man.

thanks that by this means the hearts
of the people had been touched.

carol which begins II sing the Birth
