POTATOES FOR sILAGE.
ity, Is Inclined to Discourage
Their Use.

Prof. W. A. Henry, of the Wisconsin
agricultural college, makes the, follow
ing interesting and practical comments
on an article in Wisconsin Agricul-
turist, entitled "Ensiling Potatoes"
The article is an interesting one from
several points. In central l am not in
favor of putting root crops into silo.
The turnip, beet or potato when taken
from the ground in the fall and stored
in the pit or cellar is living object and
under normal conditions loses only a
very little of its substance from week TO
week because when dormant the condi-
tion of life is maintained at the mini
mum of food requirements. The root
in the cellar or pit wastes little day by
day, but the loss is small. When we cut
up or slice roots and put them in the
silo, life is destroyed and lamentations
and decay set up at once, and these
proceed quite rapidly under almost any
conditions. Beets and turnips contain
go to "a per cent. water Because so
very watery, these substances are not
in any way suited for silage; the pota-
to, ON the other hand, contains about
20 per cent. dry matter, or as much as
green corn forage. 1t is possible this
particular root or tuber may be used
with success for silage. l cannot be-
lieve, however, that putting potatoes
into the silo is very practical or that
this material will become common as q
silage substance. If potatoes are very
low-priced in the fall, farmers general
ly hold them in pits or cellars, waiting
for rise, and only feed them to stock
in the spring when the markets are un-
satisfactory. To place them in silo
in the fall cuts off all opportunity fol
sale at later date. Viewing the mat.
ter from all sides, it seems to me our
farmers, especially where corn can bs
grown, had better rely upon that great
forage plant for silage material and
handle the potato crop much after the
present plan.

PIGEON HOUSE AND YARD.

most desirable accompaniments to
rural life.
Where pigeons are kept 1t is too
often the practice to house them in
some low loft under the caves, where
it is inconvenient to visit them and
where the birds often suffer neglec'
If possible it is better to have quarters
upon the ground floor and preferably
in separate building. The pigeon
house may well be made an ornament
to the place. With this idea in view the
accompanying illustrtion is given.
This represents small and mex
pensive house built in attractive lines
and thoroughly suited to the purpose
for which it is intended. A small hall
way runs through the center, giving ac-
cess to a commodious room on each
side. A flight" on either end Of the
house opens out from these two lofts.
Such little house, stained and COW
cred with vines, will make very at
tractive addition to any country place,
and will do much toward getting the
children in love with country life and
interested in the companionship of an
imals. Such result will prove bene-
fetal in all ways, and the influence will
remain lasting impression through
life.-American Agricultural.
The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1899-01-25
Handiness with Tools.

It is extremely important that every
farmer train himself to handling tools
of all kinds, If he has forge with
bellows and Toulouse with turning
lathe he can make extra whiffietrees,
clevises and other articles that are ept
to break when men and teams are busi-
est. Many Of these can now be bought
quite as cheaply as they can be hand
made. But there are many things that
are exceedingly handy to have about
the house or barn that cannot be pIr-
chased in the stores. The toollrouse
will be one of the favorite places for
boys on the farm to learn to he handy
with tools, and whatever they do in
later life they will never begrudge the
time and experience it has taken to
give them the lessons thus learned.

middle and the enc ones. Then fit
pieces from the eight-inch joist between
the teeth as tight as possible; then lay
the other joist on top of the teeth; bore
holes through the upper and lower
joist and the teeth; put good stout
bolts through them and the teeth.
At the end, outside of the teeth, shove
collar round so that chain can work
loose on it and not slip off the end. Bore
a few two-inch holes in the head and
put in stakes to prevent the hay slip
ping off behind. Fasten a chain or
rope ten feet long 10 each end; hitch
horse to each end; let boy ride each
horse; go to the end of the windrow;
have a man TO stand on the go-devll
to manage it; start the horses along
the windrow until you get load, then
draw it to the stack; turn the horses
ard pull it backwards until it is clear
of the load.-D. NJ. Adams, in Ohio

PIGEONS ON THE FARM.
How to Build a House and Yard
Suited to Their Requirements
in Every Detail.

Among the pets that make life espe-
cially attractive in the country stand
first and foremost the dainty pigeons.
AS well try to paint the lily" as to at
tempt to fashion more bewitching
creation thaniti is to be seen in this COM
bination of grace and feathers. Why
the pigeons are not more commonly
seen about the country places is hard
to understand, for as a source of orna-
ment they are preeminent and as a
source of delightful companionship
they are unequaled. Their superb airs
and grace, the bewitching posturing
combined with great beauty of form
all unite to make these little friends

SCRUBS MUST co.
No stOclman who sticks to Then
Can Reasonably Expect to Make
Both Ends Meet,


Scrub stock is NOT always bred that
way. The best and bluest blood known
TO breeders may be made TO bring forth
progeny of the scrub order by careless,
ness on the part of the feeder as.
The old saying that well fed is half
bred" is lot merely saying. 1t is
founded on truth, and as a statement is
quite exact. The veriest scrub may be
made quite respectable by proper feed,
ing, but il can never be made pure

There is no excuse for scrub stock
whether bred or made so by careless
ness. Scrubby horses or cattle mark
the owner as being at once non-pro-
gressive and il-ftted for breeding or
feeding. A man may not be financially
able to stock his farm with pure bred
stock, but even the poorest farmer may
command the services of good sires
and in this way secure the benefits of
good blood. The first remove from a

HAULING SORGHUM.
A Kansas Farmer Describes n Contri-
vance for Drawing the Hay
to the Stack.

We use homemade implement for
hauling it from the windrow to the
stack. The name it goes by here is
the go-devil. To make one, get three
joists eight inches wide and 12 feet
long; four scantlings 2x4; cut the 2x4
in different lengths from four to seven
feet long; take seven of these pieces
and sharpen one end so that they will
pass under the hay and not catch in
the ground; lay one of the 12-foot pieces
down for the head, cut two pieces one
foot long and lay one at each end of
the long joist. Then lay on the seven
teeth, placing the long one in the mid
die, see cut, and the shortest ones at
the end. then the others between the

Dried Gods Cor Kindlinr,

After corn cobs have thoroughly
dried it is quite common to use them
for kindling fires. But the cob alone is
very poor substitute for wood Cor
this purpose, as it does not make e
bright blaze, and the proportion OF
potash is SO large that the ashes will
soon destroy what fame might other
wise come from it. But If these cobs
are dipped in kerosene oil they will
hold enough to burn several minutes,
and by this time the wood above will
be thoroughly afre. This is really
the only safe way to use kerosene for
building fires, 1t should on no account
be thrown on lighted wood from above,
Even If there is no explosion, the wood
will not be set afre so well as it will
from below.--American Cultivator.
