THE JOYS OF SILO SAP. I 1 Why Some Farm L?nds Now Stay at < Home. i t > * Some time ago The Times pub- A lished an editorial relating to moon- ' shining and similar practices. It re- t ferred to the fact that there was such j a thing as "silo sap." It was said in J < that story that it had been discovered i _ that the farm hands and perhaps the farmers in some sections of Jefferson * county found that by tapping the silo they could get genuine corn juice or j fermented corn juice of a character ' not unlike bourbon whiskey in some ' ' y. ' I m *1 ?L - ? mi- - 4 a nn AC ! 01 lis Stages. lilt; SlUi> "aj yuca- i r tioned by some at the time, but since then numerous persons ha\e attested to the veracity of the statements. Now comes a story from Connecti.'1 cut to the effect that the farm hands down in Midham county are pitching hay with a wild abandon they never ! knew before, and the peculiar burst of enthusiasm is attributed to "silo sap" which they projected into the ] bunghole of a corn silo. The dispatch ; } says that throughout Woodstock, j Eastfield, Brooklyn, Plainfield, and! ' r ? other towns of the State, wherever j they may be, this particular variety j of a jag is very well known, and it is serving to keep the farm hands of i that locality* at home and contented in ! spite of the extra hour of daylight, j The process of extracting, the silo ?? ?

There is noth-' ing an the way of bothering per-; centages. It does not stop at two and \ three-fourths. It is described as 99 ; Vj,vV. and ^9-100ths genuine stuff, a per. centage that would make even some I of our Congressmen from the districts : where corn is grown for something! f else besides fodder sit up and take -notice. The silo sap is looked upon as a beneficial nectar sent by the gods in some districts, according to the Conis ? necticut view. Nation-wide prohibi ^ion came on July 1. the day haying V" began. The labor' situation was ; ' Jeopardized. Along came this silo ' ? still. Result: Contented farm hands, who would have fled under other contj , dit*ons, remained to apply the straw to the low places of the silo and ! . thereby receive the nectar that would j i ' permit them to pitch 500 pounds of. bay clean over the new barn at a ? single pitch if tjiey were so inclined I v?-and, of course, under the circum II ' stances they were entirely willing.
