It is not wel., however, to permit the corn to tipen fully because as the moisture content of the .plant decreases it beeotmes more difficult to pack the silage thoroughly. Therefore, where corn is ensiled to ripe, there is likely to be spoiled silage in spots where all the air has not been excluded. The best time to cut for siluge is when the kernels have glazed and the husks and a few of the lower leaves have turned yellow. In ensiling sorghum the plant should be nearly ripe before cutting for silage made from immature sorghum is unpalatable and keeps poorly. If the. crop being ensiled is too dry, water should be added to obtain the proper moisture- content and to make the silage pack well in the silo. Dry silage cannot be packed so as to exclude air, and it will mold. The water should be mixed thoroughly with the silage, and may be applied by running a steady stream into the blower or by forcing it up into the silo through a pipe or hose while the silo is being filled. It is essentia! that the silage be well tramped to exclude the air, especially along the walls of the silo. It is best to keep i? high around the wall and low in the middle until the silo is nearly full and then keep it higher in the middle. To pack the silage properly two men are needed in the silo. A distributor pipe should always be used in the silo to secure even distribution and settling of the silage. Caught Enormous Carp.

Jesse grew weary of hoeing cot Ion. Ihs eyes wandered frequently from the monotonous rows of cotton to a white tower which stood, a few teet distant, an iinsistible challenge to adventurous youth Suspend i?d from the to wen were several high Lens oi wires, carrying power for cotton mills whose roofs glistened in the distance. Jc- e left his Id-year-old sister to hoe cotton and set out on his last great adventure. The t??>y climbed the tower. One of tie high tension wires, swaying in th. breeze, swung against the boy body. Smoke began curling up from the- clothing with which the death dealing wire hud come in'contact. flesse's sister, watching him climb the tower, saw that the boy no longer moved nimbly about on his lofty perch. She went closer and saw that Jesse's face was strangely contorted. Then she realized that something was wrong with her brother. She summoned assistance. It was more than an hour later that an electrician arrived and released Jesse's seared and scorched body. Jesse had died instantly, but the pitiless current had continued to race through the corpse that hung from the tower. j A.- sympathetic hands grasped the lifeless body to release it from its contact with the wire, Jesse's charred clothing fell from his body. Elec-j tricians said 3,200 volts had coursed through Jesse's body. Coroner John S. Turner investi-1 gated the tragedy. He. said an inquest was unnecessary; that Jesse | evidently wished to climb the tower to learn something about the mysterious things. that traversed the wires stretching like tiny ribbons across the field toward Spartanburg. The field in which Jesse was hoeing when he yielded to the impulse to climb the white tower was one wMch had been turned over to the boy. lie was to have for his own all the proceeds from the crop he expected to raise on the field. All spring and summer Jesse had hoed and ploughed it industriously, and lie planned to have money enough in the full to enable him to learn more about the unexplored legions into which the mysterious wires extended.
