AS TO FACTS AND FIGURES
Nature Seems to Have Laid Down
Some Rules to Which She Rath-
er RieidIy Adheres.

Why do tall persons have narrow
noses? There are many exceptions.
but this is the rule.
The type of the nose that we call
"aquiline" is much more common in
toll people than in those of short
stature. On the other hand, short
people are much more apt to have
fiat or snub noses.
Tall men are usually long-headed,
while most short men have round or
broad heads.
Tall persons usually have small
mouths. 1t is the short people who
mostly have big mouths.
Short people in great majority of
Instances have short or round faces.
Long faces go more often with supe-
rior height.
This is not ut all surprising. Tall
people have a tendency to longness
throughout their anatomical structure.
Usually their noses are long. Their
arms and legs are long. The height
Of most very tall persons is mainly
In their legs. Short people, on the
other hand, are apt to be short in ali
parts Of their physique.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.
With the approach of the time for
filling the silo the United States De
partment Of Agriculture calls attention
to the desirability Of putting silos in
shape and making plans for filling
which will save valuable time in the
rush Of work. SilOs are a compara-
lively new feature of farm manage
ment, and In many cases have been
built less substantial than some of the
older forms of farm structure.
Silos Need Occasional Attention.
Even the best constructed silos will
need some attention occasionally. Con-
crete sil0s. which are among the most
expens. OF construction. require
the least attention as a general rule,
but they will give better service If
the inside is given roat of special
paint about once in three years. Paint
for treating the interiors of silos is
easily made of new coal tar mixed with
gasoline and applied with tar brush.
Wooden silos, either stave or board
construction, require additional atten-
tiOn. The hoops of stave silos should
he tightened and any defective pieces
OF wood replaced. In wood silos, par
t1cularly the cheaper ones and those
Of home make, there is always the
likelihood of lnlets for air, which will
spoil the silage. If the silo is SO
built as to require guy wires, these
should be frightened to keep the build
ing plumb and we'll braced to with
stand winds.
Small Bundles Easier to Handle.
Careful attention should be paid to
seeing that the machinery to be used

qpently owned in partnership by sew
eral farmers and, of course, arrange
ments need to be made in advance to
see that all the owners get their corn
in at the season when 1t Is in best
shape. In using the corn harvester
the bundles should be made rather
small. While this takes more time,
the extra expense is more than offset
by the ease in handling the bundles
and feeding them into the silage cut
ter.
The corn ordinarily is hauled to the
cutter on common, fat hayracks. The
IOw-wheeled wagon is much preferred
to the high one. An underslung rack
can be constructed with comparative
ease and will save much labor. The
rack consists Of two by inch bed
pieces, 10 or 20 feet in length,
bolted together at the end to form
aV. On top of these timbers Is built
a rack 9 feet in width. The bottom
of this rack is about feet long. The
end boards are feet high. built

FOUL-SMELLING GAS
WILL KILL INSECTS
Various Kinds of Seeds Subject
to Injury by Bugs.
Pests May Be Destroyed by Funiga-
zion With Carbon DisuIphd--
Liquid May Be Placed In Any
Shallow Receptacle.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.
Many seeds, especially beans, corn,
and lettuce, are subject to injury by
a number of insects, all of which may
be destroyed by fumigatlon with car
bon disulphid, say experts Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture Carbon disulphid is a liquid
that can be- purchased in tin cans at
any drug store. When poured into a
dish It evaporates rapidly, producing
a fouI-smelling gas that is heavier
than air. Therefore, In fumigating
seeds, to kill insects attacking them
1t Ia necessary to place the carbon
disulphid on top Of the seeds in order
that the gas may sink into them and
reach every part of the container. A
tight tin pail. box. or barrel makes an
excellent container for fumigating
needs. For tight barrel full of seeds
one-half cupful of carbon disulphid
Is sufficient. For smaller containers,
use in proportion.
Seeds to be fumigated must be dry.
and II they are In paper bags, the bags
should be opened. The gas penetrates
cloth bags easily. The liquid may be
placed in any shallow dish. such as a
saucer or plate. or merely poured on
the seeds. The liquid will not injure
the seeds If poured directly upon them.
Immediately after starting the fumiga-
tion. the container should be covered
with several thicknesses of heavy
paper, or other tight cover, and al
lowed to remain covered from one to
two days. A longer fumigation in tin
pals is apt to injure the terminating
power Of the seeds.

light tapping at the outside door of
Bill Dale's room. Dale arose from
his sheepskin-lined rocker before the
CHEEKY log fire. went to the door and
opened it. Before him stood a slim,
barefoot boy in the poorest of rags ;
In the pitifully slender arms there was
something wrapped rather loosely in
crumpled brown paper. Dale did not
remember having seen the lad before,
but he knew II was no Littleford.
"COme in, son." he invited cordial
ly-"come in and warm yourself. My
goodness alive, it's too cold to go
barefooted like thati Haven't you any
shoes, SOM"
"Shoes?" muttered the boy, quecrly.
"Shoes?"
He was shivering from the cold. His
thin face looked pinched and blue, his
eyes big and hollow. Dale stopped,
picked him up bodily, carried him to
the old rocker he had just vacated,
and put him into it with hands as gen.
tie as any woman's.
Ill" began the boy, staring
hard-"what-"
Now stick your feet out and warm
them, son-that's it." and Dale chafed
the poor little, dirty, half-frozen feet
and legs.

The apex of the is suspended be-
low the front axle of an ordinary
farm wagon by means of long king

Stage Gutter Needs to Be Strong.
If the silage cutter and lifting ma
chinery have not been selected, every
effort should be made to get ma
chinery which has sufficient or ex-
cess capacity. The mistake is often
made of getting an outfit that is too
small, thus making the operation of
filling the silos slow and interfering
with the continuous employment of
the entire force of men. A number
Of satisfactory silage cutters are on
the market. The chief features to
be considered in a cutter are that it
is strongly made and will cut fine.
Opinions differ as to the fineness to
which silage should be cut. The length
varies from one-fourth to one inch.
The latter is little too long, as the
pieces do not pack so closely in the
s!lo, and they are not so completely
consumed in feeding as the shorter
lengths. On the other hand. the
longer the pieces the more rnpidly the
corn can be run through the cutter.
Fine cutting and thorough tramping
are needed If it is desired to make the
best quality of silage and I'll the silO

Two types of elevators are In use
the oldrstyle chain carrier and the
blower. The chain carrier requires
less power, but is harder to set up
and makes more litter. especially in
windy weather. though some chain car
riers are so inclosed as to keep the
corn from blowing out. In using the
blower type the blower should be
placed as nearly perpendicular as pos
sible.
Harvest Corn Before Fully Ripe.
Ordinarily, corn should be harvested
for the silo about a week or ten days
before it would be cut for shocking
that is. when about 80 per cent Of the
kernels are dented and at least 70 per
rent of the kernels are hardened SO
that no milk can be squeezed out. At
this time the lower leaves on the stalk
are turning yellow and the green corn
fodder contains 65 or 20 per cent of
moisture, which is sufficient for sill
age. Silage made from corn contain.

David Moreland himself had arisen
from the tomb and uttered it, it would
not have struck John X. Dale with
greater force. He grew weak, as
though with a fatal sickness. He sank
to his knees in the snow, and his iron
gray head fell forward to his breast.
Elizabeth Littleford knelt in the snow
beside him. She tried to find comfort
ing words, for she loved him and was
sorry for him, but no words would
come.

fed breaking of a dry twig in the

practical method of wiping it out. as
1t does not pay to spend two dollars

the United States Department of Ag-

often can be cured with little work or
expense. In nearly every case it is
better to remove the well birds and
put them by themselves. In case OF
infectious disease the premises should
be disinfected thoroughly.
