Little Gay had barely ceased speaking
when the great factory bell commenced
pealing the hour of noon.
In a trice the huge wheels and looms
were stilled, and the girls were scamper-
ing in all directions. Some brought their
lunch -baskets; but most of them patron-
ized the little bakery around the cor-
ner -the five -cent pies and the rolls were
always, so nice and hot.
• Gay took down her braided jersey, and
slinging the elastic of her slat over her
curls, walked proudly out of the weav-
ing -room. Let them discharge her at
nightfall if they would, she would not
let them see that she feared it.
When she was quite out of sight of
Hazel's watchful eyes all ber fortitude
seemed to give way at once.
Passionate tears sprung to the lovely
dark eyes, and great Bobs shook her slen-
der girlish form like a leaf in the gale.
It seemed such a relief to rebellious de-
fiant Little Gay to give' way to those
hot, burning tears just for one little
minute when she was all alone by her-
self,
Alas, it was so hard, for a dainty, ten-
der little creature like Gay, to battle with
the great, cold, cruel world for her daily

In that brief Sash of lightning they had

ation, terror and despair were written
upon every feature of a beautiful face.

All this had transpired within a few
fel minutes, and. as is often the case
great emergencies, the crowd stood bY,
etrified with horror, unable to sot or

Hazel Esterbrook's piercing cry rang
ut over .the seething, 'surging water,

A strong hand drew her forcibly back
and a hoarse voice cried in her ear:
"Take heart; I will save your Little
Gay or will perish with her!"
Just as the torches , which had been
quickly improvised were lighted, Percy
Granville -for it was he -tore off his coat,
and leaping into the boiling, lashing
waves, struck boldly out toward the mill.
He was a strong, athletic young fel-
low,•nool and daring; yet it wee no light
task to brave that swollen stream that
had buret its narrow confines and the
freshet of roaring water, which was now
a mighty cataract rising higher and

And their lusty hurrahs rang out as
Gay's joyous cry floated back. to them as
she realized that help was at hand.
A moment more and the ledge itself
was deluged. and they were standing
ankle-deep in the dark, purling waves,

On the Farm
Filling the Silo.
Before it is time to fill the . silo
it should be examined and if a stave
silo the hoops should be tightened..
and the silo doors numbered sothat
each door will be properly in its
place as soon as the silo is filled up
that far. ,A11 of these things should
be attended to before the crew and.
machines begin to work, for it
makes an expensive delay to stop
all hands and do a little tinkering
that could as• well have been avoid-
ed by . a little work at some more
favorable tinge. We figure that ib
costs us , about $60 or $70 a day
when we are filling our silos, and
plan to make every man'S time
count as much as possible.
We make a practice of starting
one cora binder the day before' fill-
ing time and then keep two binders
cutting while the corn is being run
into the silo. - We do not like to
get too much corn on the ground
before we begin filling, owing to
the danger of rains and unfavor-
able weather.
When'the corn is convenient to
the silo: we employ four teams to
haul the corn to the cutter and
four extra men in the field to hand
the bundles up to the drivers. One
man is kept at the cutting machine
to assist the feeder and to save the
strings that are used to bind the j
bundles. This we do as a matter of
precaution more than to save the
strings, for there have been -num-
erous
numeroius instances where sows have
been injured by eating the strings
after they have been run into the'
silo.
Two or three men are kept inside
the silo to keep the outside edges
packed and to distribute the ensil-
age over the surface properly. With
a. good working crew of fourteen
men besides the crew with the en-
gine and cutter 100• to 120 tons -a
day is a good day's work. - Oft
course, this is not the exact cost;''
depend upon how everything works
and how the men are arranged so
that they can do the most work in
the easiest manner. None but good,
men should be - sent into the field
to hand bundles onto the load.
I find titan on figuring- everything
on, a, strictly cash basis it cost
about 7Q' cents a ton to hare "1,
ensilage crop, that is, allowirt
each man $2 per day, the teams' $4
per day, - and the crew and machin
$2 per hour, running time,, say
Mr. W. M. Kelly. Of course, this
is not the exact cost for there are
numerous conditions that we can-
not allow for, but taken one year
with another I believe that 70 cents
a ton is a fair average for the cost
of cutting the corn and filling the
silo.
When it is possible we fill one
silo on Saturday and allow it to
settle over Sunday and fill th
other on Monday and then place
woven wire fence around the one
that is filled first and refill to the
top of the fence so that when the
ensilage settles it will be as near
full as possible, and after this w
refill the other one in the same
way..
For .a few days We make a prae
tice of keeping the edges packe
down and lose but a small amoun
of ensilage. When it is possible fo
a man to exchange help the cos
cost of filling may be greatly re-
duced, but my figures are based
strictly on a cash basis, hiring ev-
erything done by outside labor.
Keep Milk Away From Odors.
Milk absorbs odors very easily,
and so it should not be placed in
the same cupboard or refrigerator
with onions, strawberries or - other
food having marked odors. -
Keep the refrigerator erste' ve
r
y
clean
and see that the drain -pipe and the
shelf which catches the drip from
the ice are kept free from slime.
Milk that is kept covered absorbs
odors Use easily than that whic
is not. Keep the cap on the milk
bottle while it is in the ice box un-
less the cap is torn or dirty, in
which case a tumbler or cup may
be inverted oval.
