Dehorning cattle has long been prsctis

the usual custom TO remove the horns Ia
prevent the stronger ones for iniuring the
weaker. Humsnitarians have objected 70

claimed that 1t injured the flow OF milk
and the making Of beef, Bulletin IS OF the
Minnesota station gives The results OF ex
peiimen's with horned and dehorned cat

saved Of, pine tar bandsged over the
place. For the first three days after the
operation the dehorned cows lost three per
cent in butter fat ard seven per cent in
milk flow. But this was only temporary
In short time the COWS recovered their
normal condition. and the milk flow and
fat contents were as large NJ ever Owing

There is some risk in s'oring green clovl

done, the clover heats. The escaping air

air cannot come in at the sides and bottom
Without fresh supply Of oxygen, there
can be no combustion OF The clover. The
fermentation ceases, which, with supply
of fresh air, would go on until the clover
was charred mass.
To get the best results, the clover NOV
should be boarded close on the sides and
floor. The cut clover should be as clear
Of rain or dew, as possible, and evenly
spread over the NOV. When all but two
or three loads Of The clover is in, make
the top Of the NOV as level as possible and
and then roll strips Of tarred paper over
the surface, tapping the strips. Do not
tread on it to break the paper; and scatter
on the remaining loads for weight A lay,

The object of this layer Of boards, or pap
er, is to prevent the escape of the heated
air, and If the air is imprisoned in the clo'
yer, there will be no entrance Of fresh air
fresh air fresh air from the outside In
the silo where the walls are higher than
the silage, the air that falls upon the sur

only few surface inches of the silsge are
affected. In the NOW where the sides are

prevented to great extent by checking

This is accomplished by the lightly weigh
