SLIDING Whole Corn.
this way

Uncut fodder can be successfully pre-
served in the silo. 1t is claimed by
some that there is less loss from fer
mentation when the fodder is preserv-
ed whole than with cut silage, and that
the silo is less subject to decay. In ex-
periments conducted at the Massachu-
setts agricultural experiment station in
18S4-5 with whole and cut corn silage,
the conclusion reached was that the
whole ensilage was In better state of
preservation than from corn cut into
pieces of from one and one-fourth to one
and one-half inches in length. But the
handling of the whole ensilage was less
satisfactory and its consumption was
not so close as was that of the cut 81
lage.
To handle uncut corn fodder, grown
as it should be to get q maximum
amount of food per acre, from the field
into the silo, and then out of the silo
into the manger, is hard and not very
pleasant work, and the method is not
advisable except on the score of too
limited means to meet cost of ensilage-
cutting machinery. Preserve the en-
silage whole if you can't stand the ex-
pense of buying or hiring cutting ma
chinery, but get cutter as soon as
possible after building the silo.
1t is advisable by some that when the
fodder is to be preserved whole il
should be grown 30 as to have small
stalk; that is, by planting so thick that
the stalks cannot grow large and tall
but grown under such conditions the
fodder is not 80 nutritious as when the
plants are far enough apart to permit
access of air and sunlight, and normal
development
In SLIDING whole corn it must be put
into the silo in regular manner; be-
ginning at one corner and laying small
bundles of the same size side by side
all the same way, ends against the side
wall, continuing the row across the
floor of the silo; then another tier il
laid close up to the first, tops in the OPP
posite direction, and so on until the
floor is covered, Begin the second lay.
or where the first stopped, but lay in
the opposite direction, and complete
this where the first layer began; and
thus continue until the silo is full

Sheep Notes.
PINE BoUGHs FOR SHEEP.

II is observed all through the North
where sheep do not have access to
fresh pine browse or boughs, they are
likely to be troubled more or less with
stomach, bowel or lung worms; but
where they can get this, these para
sites seldom bother Tempt them with
a little of this material, and see how
quickly they will leave other roughage
to eat this. Pine is death to worms.

MAMANASCO LAKE.

Mamanasco lake, or Burt's pond in Ridgefield, has always been favorite resort of fishermen. There has been for some time controversy over the ownership. Many years ago. perhaps fifty years, there was mill at Maman- asco lake. The owner of the mill was given permission to use the water by the town of Ridgefield. A man by the name of Smith owned the mill. After few years MT. Smith wanted to bor- row money. Selleck Brothers, of Ridgebury loaned it to him and took a mortgage on the mill. The lawyer who executed the mortgage included wrong fully the lake. After a time the mort gage was foreclosed, and the Sellecks received title from the court for the whole property. A few years ago a special law was rushed through the legislature prohibiting fishing in that lake, and several Danbury and Ridge field fishermen then raised one hundred dollars to test the law, and it was de- clared unconstitutional. The present owner is Isaac Purdy, of Purdy's Sta tion.
