MOLD REPORTED IN slLAeE
Trouble occurs Only Whers Air ls
Present, Generally Caused by Lack
o. Water.

The usual number of complaints are
coming In regarding the presence Of
mold in siiage. Mold can grow only
when air is present. Air generally
gets in as the result of the silage be-
ing too dry when put into the silo. If
water was added. not enough was
used. Poor packing may cause the
same trouble. Mold around the doors
and against the wall is the result of
poor construction of the silo which
allows air TO enter. Nothing can be
done now toremedy the condition. AT
the next filling time special care should
be taken to see TINT the corn contains
enough moisture and that 1t is well
rramped 1t Is always safest to reject
moldy silage especially for horses and
sheep, although for cattle there seems
to be little danger-C. I'll. Rckles,

that there were a lot of little hope
full Bumps. An old trouble had
made him bitter and forgetful, and he
had felt more alone in the world than
he really was. AS he sat again by

new tenderness in his heart and well
coined new thought that came warm
ly to him and brought a lovely pur-
pose with 1t. He would play Santa

So, the day before Christmas things
happened at the Bump house. AS Mr..
Bump went to the wayside post box
he found two letters. One of them made
him sad, for 1t was from the man who
held the mortgage, and it said that the
time for payment had come. 1t meant
to MIR. Bump, "your money, or your
cows" But the other letter was from
Mr.. Gimlet, and 1t made Mr.. Bump
laugh until he cried, for it was check
for $500. with some kindly, friendly
| words and good wishes, enough to cure
the cows and all the family troubles
The next day the carrier brought

and some of the frost into his heart,
for he looked old, and cold, and grim.
The freight shadows that played on
the wall were like the thoughts that
went to and fro In his mind in the
light of the memories OF the brighter
days OF the past. The empty chairs
reminded him Of his friendlessness, the
slow ticking Of the old clock, as 1t
tried to be companion, only made
him feel how lonely he was He felt
as much out of the world, as far away
from its gladness as the picture Of his
grandfather that hung over the shelf
a MIR. Gimlet was wondering what he
would get for Christmas. He had
spent many years In wondering what
he would get, and had gotten good
many things. No one had better
house than he, few had as much money
as he had. There was a park, there
was garden; within and without and
all about him were the things that
money can buy. Yes, Mr.. Gimlet was as
rich as money and things can make
man. And yet, although all these
things had NOT made him happy, he
was wishing fot more. He did not
know any better than to wish for more,
and, though he could not think Of any
thing that he needed, he hoped that
someone would think of something or
other that he might want and that
might give him CLEAN Of real Christ
