One of the great advantages of hav-
ing silage is that uniform supply of
feed can be kept on hand throughout
the year. The experience of good feed
ers has demonstrated that silage can
be kept for more than year and be
identical in feeding value with silage
of but few months in age. One feed
er says that when he has silage left
in the bottom of his Silo. and fills in
on top of it with new silage, at time
of feeding there is no difference be-
tween the two. This fact being estab-
lished. it becomes possible for the
feeder to make provision for the years
of small corn crops, if he have album
dant silO room. y big supply of silage
in year when feed is scarce means
an increased income.-Farmers' Re-

MULCHING ORCHARDS
The Only Mulch They Should Receive
Is That Made by the Harrow
and CuItivatOr.

1t is common thing for the farmer
with surplus of straw to be at a loss
what to do with it, and for him to
conclude that the orchard is the best
place to haul and spread it. He ar
CUES that it will act as a mulch and
conserve moisture for his trees, and
ultimately be converted into humus
which will improve the land.
In this he makes three mistakes:
First, straw, which is given the the
oretical value of three dollars ton
when used as fertilizer. is worth little
when spread out thinly and allowed
to decay slowly as in the orchard. 1t
loses its nitrogen. Second. it fur
nishes excellent hiding places for
mice. rats and other pests. which may
cause great damage by gnawing the
trees. This is particularly noticeable
in young orchards. Third. and most
important. it does act as a mulch. but
in such a way that the surface layer
of the soil is kept moist at just the
time of year it should not be. namely,
the early growing season. This en-
courages the growth of roots close to
the surface, place that is dangerous
to the life of the tree, because in a
very dry spell there are insufficient
deep growing roots to supply the tree
with moisture. and the surface has no
moisture in it. 1t would be better to
sell the straw at a loss. This would
not mean the loss of the orchard as
well as the straw, if used as men
toned above. But some extra stock
may be utilized to eat up or trample
down the straw. and thus make ex-
ira manure and litter. This will save
the straw. the orchard and the ma
nure. The only mulch that the or
chard should receive is one made by
the harrow or gang pillow and Guilt
vator. This will make the roots go
deep and thus fit them to withstand
a dry time.-M. G. Kains. in National
