Ga. waving- Silage in the South There is no form of roughage which the farmer can provide so economical or acceptable to his live stock as silage. An abundance of it simply means that there will be the equivalent supply for winter feeding of the best known sub stitute for grass. It was long since demonstrated that in the maintenance of dairy cows, beef cattle and sheep, a larger flow of milk and more rapid gains could be obtained through a prop er. combination of silage with various concentrates than through the use of any other form of roughage. These things being true, it would naturally seem that every fanner who is handling live stock would have provided for an abundant supply of silage to be tea. during the winter of 1918-1919. Unfor- J tunately. many people do not realise i the importance or desirability of thts food in the dietary of our farm ani mals, hence we have a long way to go in the direction of encouraging the use of silage tn educating our people to an understanding of how to make and pre serve it to the best advantage. There are, however, hundreds of silos now tn Georgia and other southern states and the number is rapidly increasing. There is' plenty of food already available to fill hundreds of silos which have not yet been erected. The wise farmer will, therefore, make an effort to provide him-' self with a structure capable of pre serving green crops in a succulent con dition. Containers of this character are the most economical of storage houses, and silos of a temporary character can be built out of rough lumber at a very small cost. All who are interested in this proposition should communicate di rectly with the Georgia State College of Agriculture and they will be furnished plans and specifications free of charge for the building of what is known as the “farmer’s Silo." Many inquiries are being received as to what crops can be used for the silo. Almost anything of a succulent nature can be need for thus purpose Cowpeas, soy beans, velvet beans grown in with corn, corn itself, sorghum, kafir corn. Sudan grass. Johnson grass, alfalfa, the leaves of sugar cane, sorghum begasse. and the refuse from plants where corn is canned, may all be used for this pur pose. It is thus easy to say that it is not difficult to produce a sufficient quan tity of food to fill an ordinary silo. It is also evident that a wide range of crops are adapted for this purpose. -The standard crops to use. of coudse. are sorghum and kafir corn, or corn and sorghum in which may be planted one or more of the various legumes men tioned. These crops are advised sim ply because of the large tonnage they make and their wide adaptability for cultivation in the southeast. ooth. w o A 4pC cmf mfw mfw M ama At this season of the year there is much interest in the subject of when tv eut crops for silage and how to handle them so as to insure their preserva tion to the best advantage.

If it is Combined with sorghum there is less danger from this source, as that plant is far more retentive of its juices than corn. When sorghum and kalii cora. grown either * separately or in combination, gre used Tor silage the •_rop should be allowed to almost ma ture before it is cut for this purpose. In other words, the seed heads should be practically ripe. This is more par ticularly true of sorghum than it is of kafir corn. Some people who have useo these two crops for silage purposes have complained greatly about the sour character of the silage. This makes it unpalatable and probably not so whole some as where the silage contains less acidity. The trouble was due alto gether to cutting the crop when in too immature a condition. This is one point which cannot be emphasized too strongly with reference to the saccha rine sorghums Most people are afraid they will dry out too much. On the other hand, they nearly always make the mistake of cutting and siloing them when in too green a condition to in sure the best results. If cowpeas or soy beans are to be put in the silo the crop should be left until it is in con dition to make good hay. This is gen erally best evidenced by the yellowing of the leaves at the base of the plant. Velvet beans can hardly ever be put tn the silo with satisfaction because of the very large amount of water they contain. When combined with othei coarse growing crops like corn they can be used to fairly good advantage. Al falfa should be put In the silo only When It is in good* condition Xo.CUX foi hay.- • , Crops to be put in the silo should as a rule, be cut in the middle of the morning after the dew has dried pff. and allowed to wilt during the balance of the day. ■ It is best not to cut in advance of the amount which can b« handled tn a given day. It is very Im that sorghum and other plants which are retentive of their juices be given a longer time tn which to wilt than corn. The cutting may be done by hand, though this is too slow, la borious and expensive to be practical at the' present time. * A sort of boat with culling knives attacked to. the the’ sides can be used with advantage on the small farm. Where operation* are conducted on any considerable scale the corn harvester should be utilized. By this arrangement the crop is bouno into sheaves and can be loaded on wag ons with much better a.uvantage, truck should be used for hauling the silage from the field. . An implement oi this type is close to the ground ana. thereforp. so much effort and energy an not expended in loading the sheaves of heavy green feed ,on to the wagons Two or' three wagons should be used in order' to insure the handling of the crop economically; one to be at th* cutter all the time, one on the road to the field, and one being loaded in the field. A corn harvester properly op erated can, of course, eut down more silhge in the course of a day than even three wagons can properly handle. Tha old wood-burning engine is now in ra because of the scarcity of coal. It is., however, a rather dangerous ma chine to usq tn the vicinity of a barn because .there' is always danger ot snarks flying out and igniting the sur rounding structures. Gasoline engine* are satisfactory, but they must be of much larger horsepower relatively that steam engines. Tn .purchasing a gas engine to drive a Dower cutting box, re member that a f(»-horsepower machine will be found more satisfactory than one of lesser rating. There are sevyal types of cutting boxes on the market. One of the rotary type with the blower attachment will probably be found as satisfactory as any which can be used. It is a good Idea to have a machine ot fairly large capacity so that it can be fed up to the maximum without choking. Smaller ma chines are often very troublesome in thts respect, especially if they are fed too fast. The blower type of machine has the advantage of being able to distribute the silage well over the inside of the structure. This lessens the labor neces sary on the part of men to distribute It and pack it down close tp the exterior wall. In filling a silo it is very Important to. remember that the material should be uniformly spread over the surface of the interior. It must be packed very lightly against the outside wall and silo thoroughly filled. A great many people who are inexperienced in filling a silo make the mistake of allowing pile up in the center and spread out 'over the side. As a result there is a great leak age in the structure and a considerable part of the silage along the outside wall spoils. This loss can be eliminated alto gether if the silage is properly packed. If the blower is properly adjusted one man should be able to distribute the silage. He should be replaced from time to time, as this is hard work. There is no objection to intermittent filling of the silo, that is, filling for one or two days, allowing td settle a day, and then filling again. In fact, if a silo is filled right up to the top this practice must be followed, because when it has appar ently been filled the heavy mass of semi green material it contains will settle down several feet in the course of a few days. It is our practice here always to refill the silo once or twice after it has been allowed to settle for two or three days. When the filling is completed take a hose and thoroughly wet down the top. Filling with water will not be objectionable. It will cause no loss or damage of the silage. On the other hand, it will result in the formation of a mould on top in the course of a few days. This will not extend down to a depth of more than six inches. This makes the finest kind of a covering for the silo and will prevent further spoilage. When feeding begins this top should be taken off and disposed of in some manner which will prevent animals reaching it. as the mould it contains may cause the animals consuming it to become sick. It is irood practice to allow the silo to stand a few days after it has been filled to settle and cure out. There is no rea son, however, why the feed contained in a structure of this kind may not be used early in the fall. We have begun feeding often as early as October 1. When the silo is opened in warm weather, of course, it must' be fed down with sufficient rapidity to prevent undue fermentation. If several Inches are taken off the top each day it will keep in perfect condition. The man who has an abundance of silage to feed this winter is fortunate. Those who have not made provision for its use should hasten to do so. There Is an impression that the silo can only be used where farming is con liicted on an extensive scale. This, how ever. is an erroneous conclusion. , A -mall silo will prove just as valuable, relatively speaking, to a man who keeps a feic,J;ea^J^f. cattlei as to the planter who produces live stock on an extensive scale. * ♦ * Mixed Feeds vs. Single Concentrates E. M. 8.. Monticello, Ga., writes: At JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA. THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1918. present prices for com and oats who do yon think of feeding what is commonly called “syrup feed.” Also what do you think of of mixing velvet bean meal with this feed fur mules working on a fang ? , There are some molasses feeds on the market which are of very good quality and could be fed with satisfaction to work stock and farm animals generally. We have not found these feeds, accord ing to our experience, cheaper than those we could make on the farm. They are made, as you know, largely of refuse from various kinds of concerns and often contain a consider able amount of fiber. Their palatability is secured largely through the use of the molasses or syrup to which you refer. You do not say what you are asked to pay for these feeds and. therefore, it Is difficult to offer any suggestions of a financial nature which might be helpful in reaching a decision relative to this matter. Corn mixed with equal parts of velvet beans makes a good feed for horses and mules. We had not thought we could find anything cheaper than this up to the present time. You could, of course, add 10Q pounds of cot tonseed meal to 500 pounds ot corn meal and 400 pounds of velvet bean meal and secure a very satisfactory food tor work stock. At the prices prevail ing for corn and velvet beans you should be able to determine w;hether these feeds would be cheaper than the com menial feed about which you inquire. * * * The Composition and Plant Food Value of Ashes J. C. M., Augusta, Ga.. writes. I would like some information in regard to the value of wood ashes as a fertiliser, and in what way are they best used? Wood ashes are a valuable source ot potash. The amount of this element they contain varies materially. There is gen erally more potash contained in the ashes derived from the hard wood trees than from soft trees such as the pines constitute. There Is at best, however, only about 4 to 8 per cent of potash in ashes. In most instances this will prob ably run between 4 and 6 per cent. Therefore, it would be a very extrava gant and wasteful process to try to pro duce ashes from the burning up of good wood. If there are old stumps and de cayed branches about not useful for wood they could often be burned and reduced to the form of ashes and the ashes applied directly to the land as a source of potash. Wood ashes, of course, should not be mixed with acid phosphate for obvious reasons. They should be applied directly to soils on which they are used and one will need to apply from 500 to 1,500 pounds per acre to furnish the land with a reasonable amount of this ele ment for most of our standard crops, particularly is this true df our truck props. Wood ashes, if used as a carrier ot potash, should be applied directly to the land as soon as they are burned, in ether words, in a fresh condition. If ex posed to rain or if leached in any way practically all of the potash, being very readily soluble, will be washed out of the ashes and lost to the land or the crop to which they are applied. In other words, it is not possible to leach ashes and leave much potash in them. ♦ * * The Food Value of Velvet Beans W. C. C. C.. Atlanta, Ga.. writes. Would velvet beans in the hulls and corn in the shucks ground half and half be a good feed for horses? Corn does not yield very well on my tend but velvet beans do well. Would it add to the feeding values of corn and velvea beans to add soy beans? Soy velvet beans do fine in this section. If velvet beans, including the hulls, and corn on the cob and including the shuck, be crushed together In equal amounts a very satisfactory concentrate would be obtained for horses and mules This material should, of course, be ground until it is in a fairly fine con dition. It should then be fed with long fodder such as hay constitute®. The hay or roughage used may be run through a cutting box and moistened with water containing a little salt and allowed to stand and soften for a few hours before it is fed. The grain mix ture indicated above can then be scat tered over the cut feed and this will provide not only a palatable but a sat isfactory ration as well. Velvet beans contain more protein than corn but not nearly so much as cottonseed meal. A combination grain ration, such as you suggest, would, of course, need to be fed in liberal amounts to horses and mules doing hard work. We would think that for a thousand pound animal one would need to feed 16 to 20 pounds of such a mixture. Only the man actually on the ground handling the work stock can tell just the amount to feed in order to keep the animals In good condition. Since the grain ration mentioned would contain the hulls of the beans and cobs and shucks, of course, but It would be lower In nutri tive value than a ration of velvet beans and corn ground together. Hence, it would be necessary to feed It in larger amounts than the mixture of the two grains in their puije state, even though ground together. We hardly think you would advan tage yourself materialy by growing soy beans in a eld of corn where you have already planted velvet beans. * * * W. A. 8., Pitts. Ga., writes: I have some pics atxsit twelve weeks old that are very poor. I feed them on shorts and corn, but have no green feed for them at present. I think they have worms and possibly a light attack of cholera. I would like to know what ails them and a remedy. As a rule, when hogs are attacked by cholera they succumb to this disease In a comparatively short time. Occas sionally it assumes a more or less chronic form and the hogs linger along for some time. We are inclined to think that If your hogs had been attack ed by cholera, however, at least some of them would have died. From what you say, it is quite probable that they are affected by lung worms as by cholera. You can determine this point easy enough, for when hogs are Infested with lung worms they generally cough a great deal and the frothy mucous which comes from the mouth and nose will be found on examination to con tain little short, thread-like worms. In the event this is the trouble we would place them in a tent or some other close structure and burn sulphur over live coals. You should keep your head ou a level with that of the hogs and ■when the fumes become so strong you can no longer bear them open the tent. This treatment should be repeated several times. It is not very effective but is one of the best simple remedies which can be suggested. If they are infested with worms one of the best things to use is a teaspoonful of turpentine in a small amount of milk or slop. This is a dose for an 80-pound hog. Proportion ate doses should be used, according to the srize and weight of the hog. You should feed the animals sparingly be fore using the treatment indicated for worms. If you suspect cholera you should have your hogs inoculated at once. Elegant 23 Jewel Fffied Watch Paoalar IB aiza for man or 12 siz« for boys.

'r.tC ZaCO., 8 Dearborn St, Dept K 3 CHICAGO Our Household Prayer ' “Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire, uttered or unexpressed.” In this time of unrest, this time of sorrow, this time of faithful striving after what is right, as well as by many a ceaseless striving to escape responsi bility and self-denial, one need not be surprised to find all sorts of so-called “prayers” and all sorts of theories fairly bombarding one. I can’t tell how many prayers and pamphlets have been sent me. And still they come. If I were in the least super stitious I’d be afraid to let one of tne requests be unnoticed. A subscriber asks my ideas on the subject of the prayer that is now an noying the lives and minds of the super stitious. It is called the Red Cross prayer, and is the same old prayer that scared the lives out of some people twenty years ago, only it now has the Red Cross for its object. It is as usual a garble of stuff and it promises all sorts of bad luck to those who fail to keep it going. There is a streak of su perstition and fear in most of us. We cannot see the future, we know that we have not lived up to the best in us and we are not sure that our sins, of omission perhaps, will not find us out. As ye sow, so shall ye reap, grows into a flaming sword in the minds of some. There is a morbid idea in some minds that calamities are more liable to come than blessings; they are the sort that the prayer appeals to. Those people will write the nine copies nine days and then go right on doing something, maybe slandering an innocent person or bear ing false witness, or "grinding the face of the pcor.” Doing the so-called “little things” that render them obnoxious as stinging flies. Then there is a class of people who really want to do every thing in their power to help the world, and to live on a higher plane, they measure the prayer by this rule: “There can be no harm in it, I will send it on.” There is nothing absolutely neutral. Either it helps or hinders. In the case of these so-called prayers we will sup pose it is sent out by one of the latter class. Take your own self, for instance You send it to nine people. Are these nine women among your acquaintances that have time to write an absolutely useless letter?. When you wrote that letter did it not take time that could have been used in writing to some one needing a word of cheer, or a line from you telling pf your keeping them in your thoughts? If you should be so fortunate as to have. every friend and acquaintance right in sight then surely you know that a cheery letter written to a soldier in France or Italy would do more good than ninety chain prayers. Take the financial side of the “chain.” Twenty-seven cefits added to the price of the stationery used in nine letters would feed a starving baby at least three days. Ten cents a day is all that is asked for their milk. So you see there is real harm in send ing the chain prayers. If you do not know where to send the money for the babies, give 30 cents to your Red Cross chapter. There would soon be quite a pile of pennies for them to use in buying suppiiefc. To whom are ,-you praying when you send that sheet of paper, to the recip ient or. to God? If to God you need not write it off, and ,if you want your friend to pray to God, and that is what all of us want, why pot write a personal let ter and say so. Don’t try to scare any one into praying. Such prayers do not amount to anything. God could have put a flaming sword between Eve and the fruit, but that is not God’s way A little lower than ths angels, made in his own image, it is our prerogative to decide for ourselves. God 1$ not afar off. He is ever ceady to turn a listen ing ear to our petitions. He hears the heart —you remember that Hannah re ceived her heart’d desire even though her lips moved not, and the priest be fore the altar thought she might be drunk. Pray without ceasing, remember that a little talk with our "Elder Brothers/’ our “Counsel,” our “Friend” makes many a problem clear. Let us not forget that we are only cogs in the great wheel called the universe and that our heaven ly Father is going to answer our peti tion in away that will give the great est good to the greatest number. The little streak of selfishness in our hearts may be like unto that which some of us is displaying in these war times, making us take all the sugar and flour we can get, even though others may starve. “What we cannot see we need not worry over,” is a mighty poor motto when it is applied to starving people. So let’s worry over Belgium and the starving babies enough to give them the stamps these chain letters demand.'

Write today, ■ I TaJ.; r Iron Works A Supply Co., Maeoa, ««. . g ligious is a letter purporting to have been written by uor Savior. That letter has caused people to tell positive un truths, as well as be superstitious. The story is that Jesus hid It under a stone and a little child found it. It was to be published. In those days publish meant telling a thing. A little child is used as the scape-goat this time. It was found and was hidden in one family a tnousund years. Then the family came to this country and misfortune still pursued them. They finally had no representation, but a neighbor got the letter and had it published, hoping to avert misfortune. She was thinking only of her own family for each subscriber to the paper was then obligated to the same task. I know, for I got about a bushel of the letters and declined to fill the Sunny South wdth them. If any special misfortune befels me about that time I was too dull to know it. Now use your common sense about this as well as that other prayer. Our Savior expressly forbade any one putting nis light under a bushel. Do you imagine that he would hide such a letter under a stone? Where were His disciples? Writing in those days was not the promiscuous accomplishment it now is. There was no paper, and the skins of sheep and goats had to be specially prepared. In Egypt the inner bark of a certain tree and tiling were u.<4?d. See the absurdity of imagining Jesus hiding a letter under a stone. He was not here for that sort of thing. The subject matter of the letter is a mighty poor imitation of Bible lan guage. Saturday is a word that was in corporable in our language, not from the Hebrews. Good Friday was instituted centuries after" but before the thousand years that it i sclaimed that this fraud was found. See? It is a Catholic in stitution, and incorporated in the Episco pal church when it protested against Rome. The Lord’s supper was instituted long before this letter was given to the public and there can be no comparison between our Savior’s own words as translated into the English language In King James’ version of the Bible and the garbled stuff in the letter. There’s where I would remind you that it is ex pressly said that if you add a jot of tittle to the Bible your punishment is certain and when one had the nerve to write a letter, and sign Jesus’ name to it, that reached the limit of forgery. All of the Bible is for our edification, and I hope that you are not neglecting it. But I want you to turn to the first epistle of John and read every chapter, it is short, then reaij again and again the second chapter and on your knees ask God to give you the sort of heart that can keep that which is committed unto you, in such away that you may be a light unto those who stumble, and 'not let suberstition rule you.

It was an astonishing vote, as I understood there was already a deficit of more than $1,000,000 —bor- rowed to pay the appropriation for 1917 It made me so uneasy to witness this in difference to financial conditions that t called at the comptroller general’s of fice and asked that official if there was any prospect of getting together nearly $9,000,000 in Georgia next winter to meet the drain on the treasury. His re ply convinced me that those legislators were indifferent to existing conditions or they were ignorant. In this day and time where billions of money are de manded to meet the military require ments, in Liberty Loan and War Stamp drives, not to mention the Red Cross do nations. these legislators have forgotten the first principles of conservation of our local revenue. But the senate called the comptroller into a conference and when he told them there was nothing in sight by which to raise these extravagant and reckless ap propriations. the senate placed a prun ing knife on the whole business. It would be perfect folly to command the governor to sign warrants for this extravagance when he has been com pelled to borrow money to meet present year appropriations and our spendthrift legislature would yet command him to get up the money, to make bricks with out straw. I remember Governor Bul loch’s time, when the debt of Georgia was raised from $6,000,000 to $19,000,- 000 nad there was insufficient revenue to meet the $6,000,000 by taxation. Those legislators in Atlanta made me tired.

Ga. and were “up against it” in our refugee homes, and when everything looked dark, as to war success, and we could not tell what a day might bring forth, are able to tell the present generation that patience and faith in Almighty God can bring comfort and peace of mind, when it looks hopeless and black with gloom. 1 My heart goes out to the mothers who watch the papers for the casualty lists, day by day. I sent a note of sympathy to Hon. Theodore Roosevelt his son last his life in France, and to his splendid wife, who has seen every one of her four fine promising boys leave her to go "over there.” A reply note came yesterday, thanking me for my sympathizing words. I have known Colonel Roosevelt many years. I am writing this article for the suffering mothers who will read it, maybe after the casualty lists have made their fond hearts quiver in anguish and deep sob row. Do not forget that nothing is So bad that it cannot be made worse. Cast your minds in and upon your daily sur roundings, and try to remember that God is In His Heaven, and He will hear the prayers of faith and will give sur cease of sorrow, in days to come: if we lay our burdens upon His promises. Your dead son might have died "over here" —for danger lurks in every place. Sometimes we see the most unexpected things happen—where we had reason to think every precaution had been taken. Human life is full of mystery. "We come into life without our knowledge and consent. We are called to go out of life without being able to add one cubit to our height or to save ourselves from afflictions that come upon us—like an army with banners —especially in time of war. We know that God has given us in the Bible the words of Eternal Life. We must stand firm in our places and trust Him for sustaining grace as Well as preserving mercies. The chances are against the return of many of these young soldiers, when battles are going on, day and night. Ask God to give you a quiet mind—that you may do your, duty tb the living.
