1ns sllo AND soiLING CROPS.

Last year there xss drouIh enough 10
convince many farmers that the siio WAS
essential for correct summer feeding.
By raising corn for the sllo they made
provision against any accident 10 the
summer crops, and enabled them 10
carry their animals along successfully,
summer or winter, through any kind OF
weather. Consequently, more silos were
probably filled this year than ever be-
fore. Silos built large enough will not
only carry the cattle through winter,
but they will have surplus enough TO
make up any deficiency In the summer
crop. OF course, cattle do not take To
ensilage when they can get green grass
and fodder corn, but they much prefer
II 70 the poor pasture that many animals
have 10 put up with in midsummer.
The natural accompaniment OF the siio
for summer feeding Is good soiling
crop. With these two properly raised
the stock raiser or dsirymsn Is entirely
independent of the weather, and u
drouth does not affect him at all. Fod-
der corn can be planted early In the
spring for q soiling crop, and when dry
weather comes there will be food 10
abundance. The cows then, instead OF
hustling for living In bare pasture
fields. can eat good meals in the cool,
quiet shady parts Of the fields or barn
ward. What difference this make:
in their milk and butter production, also
in their general health! And yet ths
extra labor and cost required to do this
are insignificant. Ii Is something that
= dsirymau must do II be would make
money in these days of competition and

"Tbe chambermaid who attended to
