in the history Of this agency when all the In
dians clustered around Pine Ridge and so long
as that was the case agriculture was almost i'm.

would speedily be eaten by those who did not
believe In raising anything but trouble, and
that discouraged even the most enthusiastic
tiller Of the soil. To make such evil work less
easy-for the vegetables or whatever else was

located on the creek bottoms. Then came the

GOOD sILAGE CORN.


Good silage corn is not raised without
special study and attention. The import
ance of 1t makes the question worthy oil
study and experiment. The main object
is to raise large crop with all of the nu-
tritive qualities intact. Each one must
select the corn for his particular locality,
but it may be said in passing that great
deal depends upon the variety of corn
used. Only the best varities, and those
known to produce luxuriant crops, should
obtaining plenty Of air and sunshine, and
not more than eight quarts to the acre
should ever be planted, even on the best
of soils.
Silage corn does well on freshly turned
clover or rye ground, and very good re-
suits will always be obtained on such land
when the soil is me}owed and plowed
thoroughly. Deep cultivation 80 as TO
mutilate the roots Is injurious to the silsge
corn after IL has attained any growth, and
to avoid the necessity of deep blowing it
is always well 10 mellow the soil at least
i've inches below the surface when plant
ing, and no further disturbance will then
he necessary. A deep. mellow seed bed is
one Of the great essentials in obtaining a
luxuriant growth. If this is obtained at
first, cultivation after that can be shallow,
and with the chief purpose of destroying
weeds. This shallow cultivation also
serves as mulch to prevent the escaping
Of moisture too rapidly.
! The best distance apart to plant drills of
silage corn is three feet eight inches. drop
ping one kernel every six or seven inches
in the drills. After the corn is planted the
corn should be dragged once as soon as it
shows itself to exterminate the weeds, and
to give the corn a chance to get the start
OF them. The corn will soon get such a
start of the weeds that its 1uxurisnt
growth will overshadow them, ard give
them sickly growth.
In cultiyating the corn great care should
, be taken to make it only shallow, for if
the roots are cut off it viii keep the plants
back by several days. growth. The second
or third cultivation is far more destructive
to the corn if the roots are disturbed than
the earlier ones. The corn is then in .
stage when it needs all o. its vitality 10
make luxuriant growth.
At the last working of The eo-a 81 is =
splendid plan to sow rye anlnng tI,s plants
at the rate of two bushels to the acre
This will grow and keep the soil free from
weeds. As soon as the corn is cut the rye
springs into rapid growth and crowds out
every other plant. The following spring
the rye outstrips the weeds, and is ready
for cutting in May or June. Clover seed
can be sown with it, and the two make a
good feeding crop. But if it is desirable to
enrich the soil, the crop of clover and rye
should be plowed under. The decayin2
plants will supply the corn with a food
that is very essential to its growth Silage
corn especially improves from such treat
ment of the soil. This work NAV req uire
more labor and time from the farmer. but
in the end it will pay by an increas ed
quantity Of winter fodder, which will not
only fatten the cattle, but be greatly rel
ished by them. w. f. FARMER

The dairyman needs hay richer and
more succulent in quality than the oFdi-
nary stockbreeder. He needs hay which
will sweeten the milk and give acharacter-
istic spring-like favor to the butter. Nearly
everything has been tried 20 make the
right article Of food for the COWS in win
ter so that they can be induced to give
good milk, which viii make butter of fine
quality The various mixtures now fed to
winter COWS are certainly superior 10 many
OF the old-fashioned rations; but there
can be vast improvement upon the hay
il it il cut earlier in the season.
The usual time for cutting hay is so late
in the year that nearly all of the juicy,
succulent portions Of 1t have escaped, and
cows will avoid it even when it is growing
in the fields. They will leave the patches
of fuil-grown hay alone and search around
for some younger growths. Every dairy
man knows what . difference the early
pastures have upon the milk dow, and
how late in the season when the grass be-
comes mature the milk and butter lose
tina. first tine fragrance and superior flavor.
All of this argues that grass loses much Of
its valuable parts for the dairyman after IL
has reached certain stage of maturity.
Hay made from such grass cannot be any
better. The fine quality in the butter
which fresh spring grass produces cannot
be obtained in the winter from COWS fed
on such hay.
The cutting and curing Of hay earlier in
the season will save for the cows a great
deal of this mysterious substance which
affects the milk so favorably. The haying
season for the dairymen should not be the
same as that now adopted by general con-
sent by farmers who raise it for the mar
kets or for general stock. There is no
special week or month in which hay
should be cut and cured, but each one
must determine the time for himself The
cows will be the monitors. When they
seem to like it the most, and appear to
thrive the best on it. then is the grass in
the height of its glory. 1t should be cut
then before it has time to lose this fine,
succulent flavor. This necessitates early
harvesting, but it also demands . repeti-
ton Of it. Three cuttings may be obtained
from one field in a season, or two at the
least. 1t is doubtful then if there is any
loss sustained in quality If two or three
cuttings are taken from the field. The
dairyman, to get the best winter hay,
should cut his grass before it has headed
or blossOmed. No carrots or daisies will
then be in it to reduce its quality,
and tender that they can be readily
masticated by the animals. All is nutri-
ment, and nothing stored in the barn will
be waste. Such grass should be cured in
cocks, and taken under shelter as soon as
the dew is dried off it. The hay will be
soft and sweet smelling, and the effect it
has upon the milk and butter is truly re-
markable. This may not be the best hay
for stock of a general nature, but it is GER
tainly the ideal dairyman's winter fodder.
