= POTATOES FOR S1LAGE.
Prof. Henry, the Wisconsin Author
lty, II 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 am not in
favor OF. putting root crops into a 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
90 to 81 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. It is possible this
particular root or tuber may be used
with success for silage. I cannot be-
lieve, however, that putting potatoes
into the silo is very practical or that
this material will become common as a
silage substance. If potatoes are very
low-priced in the fall, farmers general
~ hold them in pits or cellars, waiting
for rise, and only feed them to stock
jim the spring when the markets are un-
satisfactory. To place them in silo
in. the fall cuts off all opportunity for
sale at later date. Viewing the mat
ter from all sides, it seems to me our
farmers, especially where corn can be
grown, had better rely upon that great
forage plant for silage material and
handle the potato crop much after the
present plan.

Eastwood AND BEES.
A Beautiful Tree That Furnishes an
Abundance Of Food for the
Ha0ey-Makers.

Beekeepers will find it profitable to
plan for and prepare bee pastures, says
an exchange. Those who have had
either the good fortune to be located
where Eastwood or linden trees are
plentiful, or have the patience to await
the development of this tree, have
found that they furnish an abundance
of food for the bee to manufacture into
honey. The tree is beautiful one and
may we'll be planted as an ornament.
Small trees can be procured from the
forest or from nurseries. that handle
forest trees, and planted in the fall in
some desirable location for grove.
The larger ones are said to thrive bet
ter. The blossoms are small, of q
light yellow color, and rather pretty.
The honey is secreted in the inner side
of the thick, feshy petals. When it is
profuse it will sparkle like dewdroPs,
if cluster of blossoms is held up to
the sunlight. There has been recorded,
where Eastwood trees were abundant,
an instance of single hive storing 43
pounds Of honey in three days.

middle and the end 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
a 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 to each end; hitch
a horse to each end; let boy ride each
horse; go to the end of the windrow;
have a man to stand on the goodwill
to manage it; start the horses along
the windrow until you get load, then
draw it to the stack; turn the horses
and pull it backwards until it is clear

We use homemade implement for

joists eight inches wide and IL 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

Handine.s with Tools.

1t 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 whihletrees,
clevises and other articles that are apt
to break when men and teams are bust
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 pur-
chased in the stores. The Toulouse
will be one of the favorite places for
boys on the farm to learn to be 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.

Dried Cob. Tor Kindltn~.

After corn cobs have thoroughly
dried it is quite common to use them
for kindling fires. Butthe cob alone is
a very poor substitute for wood for
this purpose, as it does not make q
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.

be thrown on lighted wood from above.
Even if there is no xplosion, the wood
will not be set afire SO well as it will.
