REFILL THE SILO

Frequently farmers are unable to
to fill when the corn or sorghum
crop is in the proper condition. This
necessitates the cutting and stacking
of the crop to preserve 1t. Other
farmers plant an increased acreage
In the spring so they will have a
surplus over and above what will be
needed to fill the si,o in the fall.
| In both instances, says S. P. Clark,
Extension Agronomist of the Uni
versity, the dry fodder should be put
in the silo before being fed to the
livestock.
Some farmers make practice of
refilling the silo two or three times
with dry fodder during the winter. In
making dry fodder silage an abundant
and convenient water supply must be
available.
II insufficient water is added the
silage will mold and be unfit for feed.
Care must be taken that the cut
fodder as it goes into the silo is
uniformly wet 1t takes on an aver.
age of about one ton of water to one
ton OF dry fodder. You cannot put
enough water on dry fodder silage
through the blower. Neither can you
fill the silo and add water later, for
1t will form channels and run through
to the bottom. The most practical
way to add water is TO supply what
you can through the blower and the
balance as a spray as the silo is be,
ing filled.

Diamonds Territory's Only Asset.

The territory known before the war
as German Southwest Africa is of lit
tie value to the British, who have nc.
quired ii, inasmuch as 1t is mostly des-
ert. It does, however, produce many
diamonds, which are picked up in the
sands along the coast.
The desert diamonds have evidently
been disturbed by water and wind, and
doubtless were brought from not.
distant source by ancient and van.
ished rivers. Presumably they were
originally derived from volcanic
pipes" like those which produce dia.
monds in the Kimberly field Of South
Africa. Experts are inclined to think
that all of them came from single
pipe, because they are so much alike

monds from no two pipes are alike.
Accordingly, an anxious search is be

Atmospheric Phenomenon.

A singular atmospheric phenomenon
recently noted along the western
coast of South America, is bank or
band of cloud extending for 1000
miles, from Ecuador to the center OF
Chill, and following the trend of the
coast range OF hills. The cloud band
is between 10 and 20 miles broad, floats
at am elevation between 1000 and
5000 feet, and has vertical thickness
of not less than 1000 feet.
This curious phenomenon is as
crlbed to the prevalence of cool south.
erly and southwesterly winds blow
Ing obliquely along shore. and having
their moisture condensed by the coast
hill range just sufficiently to produce
clouds without rain.

NO SIGNIFICANCE IN COLOR
Idea Long Held by Horse Breeders
Has Been Proved to Be Without
Foundation.

For more years than a man can
count men have felt suspicious of, II
not unkindly toward. a horse with
three white feet. There is an ancient
thyme which runs something like this: /:
One white foot buy him:
Two white feet, try him;
Three white feet, deny him:
Four white feet. skin him and give him
to the crows.
Not true; nothing in It; facts dis
prove it. A fair proportion of the
fastest. strongest, toughest and most
faithful horses have had and still have
two, three and four white feet. Dur
bar ii, Derby winner few years
back, had three white feet.
Another deep-rooted prejudice con
Germs the color of horses. A gray has
been generally esteemed as a tough
and staying horse, and black horse
has been suspected of lack of stamina.
A roam horse, either steel roam or
strawberry roam, has always been
sized up as hardy horse. dun
uoiSS was liiouEht W bS Tile tstSi WOEu
in feebleness. A cream-colored horse
was suspected Of inability to go the
pace, and a white horse, besides be.
ing hard to keep clean, was believed
to be of delicate constitution. Bays
browns and sorrels have generally
been judged on points" and eonforma.
tiun, Independent of the color ques'
ton.
All this is wrong, according to ex
periments at government station. A
government bulletin has said that
'The color of horse Is no indication
of the real value of the animal ant
the statement cannot be made too EN-
phatic that speed, intelligence. vigol
and other good traits are inherited in

counts, is ON the side of 1egionnaire
Legionary' connotes an embattled Ro-

having rescued hundreds of people
from housetops and treetops, the Le-

NJ. L. Geisenberger, former lieuten-

Buildings Of Old Rome.

Lanciani, the archeologist, has
shown that in the Rome of the Caesars
trouble was experienced with high
buildings. A law was passed restrict
ing the height of fronts TO sixty feet.
In order to evade IL. builders adopted
the practice of carrying up the rear
portions several stories more Other
laws bearing on the height of the
buildings were passed in cary times,
There was tendency to diminish the
height of stories as the buildings In
creased in size, and n height OF 100
feet was probably attained. II Is be-
lieyed that the ceilings We're so low a
