HOW TO sTAvE OFF OLD AGE.
BY E. w. GILES.

Look up, rather than down.
Look without, rather than within.
Look ahead, rather than back.
Maintain an interest in others,
rather than bestowing all your in
terest on yourself.
Keep going in the work Of life,
rather than laying down on the job
Keep on accomplishing things, ra-
ther than giving up effort.
Make the best bluff you can at be.
ing cheerful, rather than being sour
Keep smiling, rather than frowning
Keep on good terms with the
weather, and other things.
These are some of the things that
will help to stave off old age.

THE DIVORCE EVIL.
Nv q w. Giles

Back of the decadence Of the home
is the decadence jof the people who
constitute the home.
Marriage is not a failure, but a
great many married people are fail
ureS.
Partnerships in the home and in
business mean the giving up Of some
of the independence and privileges Of
all teh partners.
The difficulty is often attributed to
all sorts of outward things, but the
real trouble is inward rather than
outward. The tree often decays on
the inside before there is any out
ward manifestation of it.
Young people should s'make haste
slowly" in getting married, and mar
ried people should "make haste slow
ly' in getting divorces.
Divorce getting becomes habit of
life if allowed to, and the next COM
panion is no. better than the first.
The divorce habit is also passed
down from parents to children, and
to unnumbered generations.
The divorce habit indicates the
loss of moral heroism, and the rem
edy would be in part the regaining
of the same. HI
There is big hole at the bottom
of the divorce evil, and danger of
not only the home but the nation
falling through:
Elimination of the discussion of
family differences would help good
deal. We don't have much trouble
about what we don't say. ....
Regular family meals with the
blessing asked at each would help a
good deal. W..
: Regular family worship would help
a good deal. ~. :. III s-.-
Husband and wife either going out
together evenings or staying at home
together would help a good deal.

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 compare
lively new feature of farm manage
ment, and I'm many cases have been
built less substantial than some of the
older forms of farm structure.
SiIos Need Occasional Attention.
Even the best constructed silos will
need some attention occasionally. Con-
crete silos, which are among the most
expensive of construction, require
the least attention as a general rule,
but they will give better service if
the inside is given Oat 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-
ton. The hoops of stave silOS should
he frightened and any defective pieces
of wood replaced. In wood silos, par
tIcularly the cheaper ones and those
Of home make, there is always the
likelihood of inlets 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 well braced to with
stand winds.
Small Bundles Easier to Handle.
Careful attention should be paid to
seeing that the machinery to be used
In harvesting and storing the silage is

ers and silo-filliDg machinery are fire.
Quently owned in partnership by sew
eral farmers and, of course, arrange
ments need to be made in advance to

In at the season when it is i'm 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, fiat hayracks. The
lOw-wheeled wagon is much preferred
10 the high one. An underslung rack
can be constructed with comparative
ease and will save much labor. The

Silage Cutter 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
he 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 a little too long. as the
pieces do not pack so closely In the
silO. and they are not so completely
consumed in feeding as the shorter
lengths. On the other hand. the
longer the pieces the more rapidly the
corn can be run through the cutter.
Fine cutting and thorough tramping
are needed If il is desired TO make the
hest quality of siage and fill the silO
to its greatest capacity.
Two types Of elevators are in use
the Old-style 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 week or ten days
before it would he cut for shocking ;
that is. when about 80 per cent of the
kernels are dented and at least 70 per
cent 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 s. or 20 per cent of
moisture. which is sufficient for sill
age. Silage made from corn contain
ing moisture enough for proper preser-
walton is more palatable than that
made from corn so mature as to re-
quire the addition of water.

National development and the need

MISSION" said George NJ. Graham,
member of the highways committee.
National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce, speaking before the senate
committee on post offices and post

1.-The economic barrier now con-
fronting us is the lack of adequate
highways. There is urgent need to
build these highways as quickly as
possible, and with the maximum
economy.
Highways should be planned with
consideration Of their relationship to
railway and waterway communication.
The highway question concerns agri-
culture, commerce, the military and
the social needs Of the nation. The
roads program is national in scope
and is related to all departments OF
the government.

measure as roads will be with regard

of federal funds In conjunction with
state funds on these roads Is the first
step needed. States should be required
to meet the federal aid as states rath-

along to counties as many states do
now. In this way, II will be possible
to have state policies correlated with
the national program. The counties
will benefit from the general inter
state highway system, and the funds
which the counties formerly used In
conjunction with federal aid can be
devoted to more specifically local pur-
poses.
