there are sure to be a num ber of desertions These come about from various causes and among the deserters is always a large percentage of recruits that come from Inland states To these young men the con finement of a ship and daily drills soon become irksome This added to seasickness to which they are al most invariably subject produces a irresistible desire to desert In oth er instances desertions come about through the ineu becoming intoxicated and practically irresponsible while on shore leave In the meantime their vessel may sail These men are not at first termed deserters but are set down us stragglers If however after a period of ten days nothing is heard from them by the ships officers they are then considered deserters At the end of the ten day limit their allotment is stopped the bureau of navigation is notified and in con formity to an act of congress their effects are sold before the mast The amount realized Is placed to their ac count and the latter transferred to the deserters roll At the end of six months if they still have not been heard from their wages are declared forfeited to the United States The penalty for desertion is fine and im prisonment as well as loss of citizen ship The reward for the recovery of a deserter may not exceed 20 and for a straggler the limit it S10 This sum together with any expenses incurred by the person capturing and delivering a deserter or straggler when it id paid by the government is charged against the account of the num If the A large crowd from here celebrated ed man finds he has been left ashire the fourth

White was shipped in in carload lots from Mis souri and was known in that state as silo corn In all of the central west ern states the varieties used werethe same as those grown in the localities where the silos are located In fact the stations recommended that the fanners should use the same varieties as they were using on their farms for the production of grain Last year an experiment was started by the Department of Agronomy and Farm Management and the Dairy De partment of the Nebraska Experiment Station to determine if possible what variety would prove best for ensilage It is planned to have all of the sam ples analyzed both at the time of filling the silo and when they are taken out and fed to the stock during the winter Naturally we do not have the analysis of these varieties at hand for the Dairy Department is just now beginning to feed the ensilage used for this test There were six teen varieties grown and there was quite a considerable difference in the yield from the different plats A half acre plat was taken as the standard The variety which stood at the top was Hogues Yellow Dent This vari ety has been carefully grown on the sta tion farm for a number of years The second In the list was Learning grown from seed secured about forty miles from the station from a careful corn breeder Whether the variety yielding the largest amount of dry weight is the best for ensilage purposes cannot be determined by the data at hand The feeding tests with the cows and the chemical analysis may show quite a considerable difference The work of other stations in the central west and one years experi ment at the Nebraska station seem to indicate that the variety best adapted to ensilage purposes here would be the one grown longest in the locality The Hogues Yellow Dent

your plate at dinner to help you eat he is carrying filth and germs from a great many different sources There are few contagious diseases that the fly does not carry Flies in milk may mean the death of some infant or invalid who uses it for food We do not see people fall dead from the effects of flies but they die just r CORN FOR THE SILO SHOOL By C W Pugsley Professor of Agronomy and Farm braska Experiment Station widespread interest Which is THE aroused in the sfto and the uses of ensilage warrants its thorough discussion It is easy to theorize and to even advance what seem to be plausible reasons for taking certain stands but it is harder to demonstrate that these stands are right in every re spect The demand for agricultural knowledge has been so great during the last few years that agricultural writers have been tempted to give to the public as facts what seems rea sonable Some things which loot nice at a distance will not bear clov In spection It is only by careful and painstaking work that we are able to get down to the bottom of matters and build agriculture upon that solid foundation which it deserves The matter of growing corn for the silo is one of the subjects which comes in this class In order to get some statistics which would be of value I wrote to twelve experiment stations in an effort to find out if pos sible some absolute facts in refer ence to the things pertaining to the growing of the corn The first thing to be considered should be the variety of corn Of the twelve states respond ing those in the east all favored large and late varieties and a number of them mentioned St Charles White BE PLANTED THICKLY Nebraska Experiment Station Gets Best Results From Hopes Yellow Dent With Learning a Close Second Rate and Time of Planting Management No far seems the best and the Learning which is high up in the scale are both corns well adapted to this section of the country for grain purposes The rate of planting is the best thing to be considered in connection with the growing ensilage The sta tions report on this particular point range as follows Nine states plant one fourth thicker than for grain pur poses two states plant one half thick er and one state plants one third thicker This particular point will be taken up by the Nebraska Experiment station next year in connection with the continuation of a test carried on last year The varieties used will be the most promising of the sixteen tested during the last season The following quotations from Hoards Dairyman may throw some light on this subject Professor Haecker of the Minnesota Experiment Station gets admirable results by sowing corn so thickly that small or no ears devel op The analysis of this corn is about I the same as that which has developed ears and can be accounted for in this way The plant takes up its nutri ents from the soil and when the ears start to form the elements are taken from the stalk for the purpose of forming the ear and very little if any nutriment is taken from the soil after this period BUILD THE SILO WITH THE IDEA OF CONVENIENCE IN MIND From what has been done at othei Btations and from the experience ol the majority of practical farmers it seems safe to conclude that corn for ensilage purposes may well be planted somewhat thicker than where it is wanted for grain In producing corn for market the yield of grain is the test of Its usefulness In producing corn for ensilage the yield of nutri ents in both stalk and ear will deter mine the value of the variety There is considerable feeding value in every stalk and blade of corn and it seems quite probable that it is more econom ical to produce digestible nutrients by growing more of the stalk and leaf than by attempting to get a variety ol corn which will yield a large number of first class ears The next thing to be considered is the time of planting This depends somewhat upon the use to which the ground is to be put after the corn is taken off Tf It is desired to seed win ter wheat early planting would be ad vantageous A corn plant usually has a definite time for maturing depend ing somewhat upon the condition o the season Lack of rain will mak the plant mature earlier but the time of filling the silo will depend largely upon the variety of corn used and the rate at which it is planted in the spring From the replies received from other stations eleven of the twelve states recommended planting at the same time as for field corn One state farther south Kentucky plants the ensilage corn three weeks later It is the custom among prac tically all Nebraska farmers to planl the ensilage corn at the same time as the corn for grain purposes and vitt our present information this is to be recommendedas the best method Ensilage corn should be planted a close to the silo as possible for this will reduce by quite a per cent the labor of filling the silo A short haul will enable one or two less teams and drivers to be used the same The fly often

CHEMISTRY Prediction of a Scientist and Its Re- markablo Verification -When a mathematical astronomer in Paris gave a Berlin observatory a search warrant for a new planet and turning his telescope as directed the Berlin observer found the previously unknown planet all the world won dered Equally remarkable have been a prediction and its verification in the history of modern chemistry Grading the known elements of nature accord ing to the weight of their respective atoms it was observed that the ele ments some seventy or more in number-formed a scale marked by period icity like the scale in music This periodic law in the hand of genius be came an Instrument of research It was in 1S71 that Mendeleef the Rus sian chemist In forming the scale of elements found it necessaryto leave three spaces vacant for undiscovered elements to make his table true Neither did he hesitate to predict the properties which these elements should possess when discovered It was as if an astrologer should inform you that you would meet some time in your life three men and that with the utmost particularity he told you their respective physical weights the color of their hair the size of hat shoe and glove worn by each and in a word all the habits of mind and body ficient to discriminate them positively from all other men Not only was the prediction literally fulfilled but Men deleef had the unexpected pleasure to see the verification in his day for out of the night of the unknown one after another came the predicted ele ments into the clear sunlight of science and were instantly
