Alfalfa HaY.

From the Utah station comes a re-
port of some interesting feeding expert
ments with alfalfa hay and other forage
crops.
Alfalfa cut just before blooming was
found TO be greatly superior to that cut
while in bloom or that cut just after full
blooming. The early cutting yielded
more hay per acre, and stock ate more of
it per day and made more rapid gains
on it than on the later cuttings. The
early cutting produced 40 per cent more
beef per acre than the later cuttings.
During the two weeks of budding and
Towering there was no additional
growth, but an actual loss of 80 pounds
of hay per acre.
As compared with other hays, alfalfa
proved equal to the best timothy and su-
perior to red clover. A ration of alfalfa,
straw and grain proved superior TO one
of alfalfa and grain. Mixed hay and
grain proved superior to alfalfa, straw
and grain.

Odd Mention.

Many farmers are of the opinion that
much of the hog cholera prevailing in

judicious feeding of new corn.

dates running from Dec. to Feb. q.
Active work will begin in the Wis
consin College of Agriculture at Madi-
son Dec. l, when the short course class
enters for the term ending March 8.
At the Indiana station, in seeding
wheat, five, six, seven and eight pecks
per acre gave practically the same yield
and better than any smaller quantity,
the indications being in favor of six
pecks.

Fixing Cellars For Winter.

Most country cellars require special
attention before very cold weather ap-
pears All outside windows and doors
will let in frost if they are not covered
carefully. These openings can be COM
pletely shut, as entrance can be obtained
from the inside. American Agricultur-
list tells that one of the best ways to
close the openings is to fill them full of
straw tightly packed down. When all
has been crowded into the windows that
the opening will hold, secure it in place
by stakes driven so that the tops touch
the wall. After the stakes are in place
push straw under them until no more
can be crowded in. Straw packed tight
Ily between the inner and outer doors
will prevent freezing from this source.
Have everything in readiness, but Go
not stop up windows and doors until it
is absolutely necessary. The tempera-
ture Of the room should be kept near the
freezing point, but must not reach it,
else some of the canned fruits or tender
vegetables will be nipped.

FARM PROBLEMS.
Where to Apply NIanure-How and When
to PlOw.

Where to Apply Manure-How and When
to PlOw.
A Minnesota contributor to the Iowa
Homestead expresses his views on two
subjects of Importance. He writes:
Manure should be applied ON land
nearest to where the manure is made,
90 as TO save time in hauling it on to
he land, and land at distance from
the barnyards should be enriched in
some way easier than by hauling ma
nure long distance to do the work, as,
for instance, by clover or otherwise 1t
doesn't pay to haul manure too far. l
find by experience that can keep land
up with clover cheaper than l can with
manure and with great deal less labor.
Fall blowing is necessary here in
Minnesota, as there is so short a time
in the spring to do the work of putting
in the crop, Sc that if we did not pillow
in the fall we would not get our crops
in in time. But the subject of blowing,
when to pillow and how to pillow, is a
wide question. / believe in varying the
depth of blowing every time pillow, nor
am related to the Skinner family. l
don't see auy benefit in early blowing
unless on new land where you need to
take up new soil that requires to be
plowed as early as possible so as to turn
the new soil up to the action of the at
mosphere to prepare it for the next
crop. because the atmosphere has great
deal to do with the matter. You cannot
live without the atmosphere; neither can
the plant You are made of atmosphere;
so is the plant. So the atmosphere has a
great deal to do with the crops.
Here in Minnesota follow a system
of rotation. On land where had corn
last year pillow light this year and sow
oats. Next blowing is deeper, and sow
wheat with clover seed mixed with the
wheat. A :er clover, which pillow still
deeper, 1 : wv fax, and after fax l put
the pillow own and plant corn, and so
follow that rotation. I SOW medium
clover, and it pushes its roots down so
as to let the atmosphere in to the land,
and it acts as drainage also. Then l
pillow so as to drain the surface, and if
your land is kept free from standing
water after heavy rain the baking proc
ess does not prevent the atmosphere
from entering the land, and where land
is we'll drained it is drier in wet time
and wetter in dry time, because in a
dry time, when land is in a condition
that the atmosphere can enter it, when
the sun goes down the atmosphere that
has entered the land cools and condens-
es, thereby leaving moisture which
would not be there if the atmosphere
was excluded.

Experiments With Cabbages.

From the Maine station come notes
on experiments in cabbage culture
Three varieties were compared to test the
effect of size of seed on the heads In
two varieties the larger seed was found
to produce much heavier heads. Tying
up the outer leaves was found to have
no influence upon the maturity of
the head, as is popularity supposed,
while it caused marked decrease in
size, and the moisture collecting within
the leaves almost invariably caused the
heads to decay. Mulching the plants
with swale hay produced heads slightly
larger than were borne by unmulched
plants used as checks. But little effect
on the size of the heads was produced
by deep cultivation, but plants so treat
ed appeared to mature more uniformly
than when shallow cultivation was
given.

WHEN TO OPEN THE sILo.
A Progressive Ohio Farmers Opinions on
This Subject of General Interest.

A Progressive Ohio Farmers Opinions on
This Subject of General Interest.
John Gould of Ohio, in a letter to
Rural New Yorker, writes on subject
of widespread interest. He expresses
himself as follows:
In a general way the answer might
be, whenever one needs the ensllage
TO feed" do not know that there is
ANYTHING like common agreement in the
time of opening silos. If the term may
be used, there is a great deal OF lndivld-
ualitv about silos and their behavior.
That they are hot or cold at the time
they are opened makes no difference so
far as I can see. Sometimes the ensilage,
when the pit is opened, is quite cold and
another year it will be quite hot 1t is
simply a matter of the condition OF the
ferment at that time So far as the en-
silage is concerned the opening makes
no difference with the contents three
inches below the surface, as the air can
not affect that which is slightly below
the immediate surface. l have no
"signs'' indicating when the ensilage is
ready to feed.
When the usual amount of roughage
about the farm is fed out in the late
fall, ! commence at once on the ensilage,
uncover the whole pit and feed from the
entire surface. A year ago commenced
to feed ensilage Nov. 80, and the year
previous nearly three weeks earlier.
Some of my neighbors commence feed
ing the very day that they finish filling
the pits, and cannot see but they have
as fine ensilage as do those who cover
the ensilage and let it sweat from three
to six weeks Some ensilage will remain
hot all winter and some will take on
hardly heat enough to make the mass
settle as solidly as it should. The truth
is I have never seen any ensilage so
young" or so ''old" but it could be fed
with perfect safety and satisfaction.
The most perfect government to none
at ALL have ever had on my silos is
this year. After the corn was all in the
pits the litter %about the machine was
Eun up the carrier and scattered evenly
over the surface, we'll trodden down and
this repeated for three or four days or
until it had become quite moldy. Then
we loosened it up, tread it down, work
ing in a half bushel of oat screenings,
distributed barrel of water evenly over
tbs ensilage and gave it one more tread
ing. The result is that the surface is
covered with this decayed ensilage and
over it is fine growth of oats, the roots
of which have bound the cover into a
regular fiber blanket. If covers are need
ed-which still doubt-this one is far
in the lead of any 1 have ever had in my
ten years of silo experience.

A Good Pillow Sled.

One of the farm conveniences is a
pillow sled, or runner, used in transport
ing the pillow to and from the field. 1t
is made of two pieces of plank, hard
wood preferred. The one for the bottom
should be 90 or "a inches long and IL or
10 inches wide. The other may be the
same width and or inches long. The
smaller one should have a notch two
inches square and an inch deep cut into
it. This piece, when inverted and fasten-
ed on to one end of the larger piece,
forms socket for the point of the pillow
to rest in and keeps the pillow from slip
ping off. The small piece can be spiked
or bolted on. After the pieces are fas-
tened together the front end can be
dressed off in the shape of a runner. The
corners can be taken off also. About six
inches from the rear end bore two holes
and drive in couple of old bolts far
enough apart to allow the land side of
the pillow to rest between them. This
keeps the runner in its place.
When transporting the pillow, turn it
over on the share, slip the runner to its
place, turn the pillow up and drive off.
With this little implement one need not
lift the pillow on higher sled or wagon.
1t saves lifting and saves time. OF
course. it is intended for a walking pillow.
If for left hand pillow, the notch and
bolts should be within two inches of the
right side, but for a right hand pillow
