Facta About the Silo.

Twenty years experience in the use
of the silo has brought out some facts
about which all are agreed.
First That larger amount of
healthful cattle food can be preserved
in the siIo in better condition, at less
expense of labor and land, than by any
other method known.
Second That silage comes nearer be-
ing a perfect substitute for the succu-
lent food of the pasture than any other
food that can be had in the winter.
Third Thirty pounds day is enough
silage for an average-sized Jersey COW.
Larger cattle will eat more.
Fourth-A cubic foot of silage from
the middle of a medium-sized silo will
average about forty-five pounds.
Fifth-For 1S2 days. or half year,
an average Jersey cow will require
about six IONS of silage, allowing for I'M
avoidable waste.
Sixth-The circular silo, made of good
hardwood staYes, is cheapest and best.
Seventh Fifteen feet in diameter and
thlfty rect good deptn. Such sll0 VIII
hold about two hundred tons Of silage,
cut in half-inch lengths.
Elghth-Corn just passing out OF
roasting ear stage is the best single ma
terial for silage. Corn and COW peas
are the best combined materials in COW
pea regions.
Ninth Silage is as valuable in sum.
mer as in winter.
Tenth-The silo has come to be as
necessary part of n dairy farm plant
as a corn crib or hay Jersey

Winter Helm.

Perhaps there will not be as many
men willing to work for their board or
for very low wages in winter, but there
will be some. and some good men, zoo,
who will prefer TO do so than to remain
idle. They have no other trade but
farming, and perhaps are too old to
begin anew now, and they would like
to earn at least their living There
win be many days perhaps when they
could do but little, and there may be
many when with their help the farmer
could do many things in the way of
improving land or the buildings that
he does not feel able to do in the busy
time when wages are high. He might
do what seemed like a deed OF charity
to such man aud find that by these
improvements he had been repaid
hundred fold. We know a good farmer
who used to say that if he had two
more men than he needed he could find
enough for them to do. and the man
who does not need more help on his
farm is more apt TO have a poor farm
than one that IS in good condition.

Snrarine Fruit Trees.

binary manner and strains it. Then
for apple and plum trees he adds to a
gallon of this two gallons of water and
two teaspoonfuls of London purple, and
sprays the trees before the bloom comes
out, and again after the bloom is gone.
Gives third and fourth application if
necessary, which is not often the case.
Never spray while the bloom is on, as 1t
browns, posons or kills the pollen.
Uses the same on currants and goose
berries before they bloom and after the
fruit has started. For peaches and
pears he weakens it, using one-half
gallon of lime water and one teaspoon
full of London purple in two gallons of
water. Uses lime water without Lon
don purple to spray trees after fruit is
fair size, to prevent fruit rotting on the
trees, and has succeeded in saving it by
shaking slaked lime from can attach
