The X ,uud Silo.

As every student Of mathematics
knows. the circle Is the shortest line
which can inclose any given area.
When the material for building silo
is an important object to be considered
the round silo will contain more than
any other that can be built Mt the same
cost for lumber, and thus 1t Is the better
form for many. but we think not for
ALL A silo built In the barn taking one
or more Of the bays used for hay. and
extending from the cellar floor. II there
Is a barn cellar to near the roof. can
often be put in at small cost. simply by
lining the outer walls and making
strong partitions on the inner sides. and
the space so taken up will not be need
ed for hay unless the stock kept Is to be
increased. as the ensilage In 1t will
feed more animals than all the hay that
could be packed in 1t. as farmers NOW
away their hay. or course we are not
speaking Of baled hay. because the
farmers do not often bale hay that
they intend to feed out at home. But
cubic foot Of ensilage in slo eighteen
to twenty-five feet deep will average
to weigh about forty pounds. which is
a fair amount to give COW each day
with the hay and grain that should go
with 1t. and farmer can very easily
figure how large space would be need
ed to provide food for his stock. Many
Of them could not as easily figure the
solid contents Of round sllo II given
dimensions. though they may have chill
dren who have graduated from high
school who could do so. But the silO in
the barn requires but little extra lum-
Der and no extra roof. and it keeps the
food very near where 1t Is wanted.
Those who have limited capital often
have to choose the cheaper way II it Is
not the better way.-New England

Glover and Corn for Stock.

\I0ver ana N0ru TOR StOCks
IL one could raise good crops every
year Of clover and corn. there would
be little difficulty In providing stock
with suitable food. says Michigan
farmer. Glover l regard as double
ration. taking the place really Of hay
and grain. 1t Is possible to winter
horses and stock on clover without pro-
ducing any Ill effects or reducing them
much in weight and strength. This
would not advocate except as an exper-
iment or In an emergency. What our
stock needs is variety. and while clover
might supply both hay and grain con.
stituents there would be the possibility
Of inducing sickness and poor appetite
from the lack Of variety. Clover, Of
course. produces a direct beneficial ef-
feet upon the soil and adds to 1t more
than the corn takes away. Persistent
cultivation of corn on any field must In
time reduce the soil fertility to such a
low point that succeeding crops will
suffer. With clover as part Of ro-
tation there would be little chance Of
such soil degeneration.

Passing or PuyinR Feed.


Where the farmer grows the fodder
and grain for his animals he Is justified
in feeling that 1t has cost less than 1t
would II he paid the cash for 1t in the
market IL he has been successful In get
taing good crops. He has made mar
ket for his own labor. the labor Of his
team and use Of tools. and for the ma
nure that was waste product OF his
stock. All Of that forms a part OF his
profit. and the crops may be said to
have cost him the seed. hired labor ana
fertilizer bought. But 1t may not be
the cheapest feed for him to use. He
may be able to sell it and purchase oth-
er food materials that would give him
enough better results to repay him Tor
the labor Of drawing both ways. Bran
and gluten feed produce so much more
milk than corn meal that he may sell
the corn he has raised. and buy the
other feeds which he does not raise.
Other foods are better for hens than
the corn, or even than oats. The man
who tries to be so Independent as Meth
er to buy nor sell. had better set up
hand loom and cobbler's bench. to
save spending money for clothing. We
could fatten hogs and cattle on turnips
and onions cheaper when we sold them
and bought our corn than we could TO
have fed the roots. and we thought
cheaper than II we had grown the corn.

CHANGING eed.

Changing eed.
We like to get new seed for farm
crops from more Northern points, as
the crop not only ripened earlier. but
yielded better. We remember one year
getting some seed potatoes from YER
mont. and as we did not get as many
as we wanted to plant we bought some
of neighbor who raised them the year
Def ore from Vermont seed. and finally
finished with row or so of seed which
had been grown on the farm where we
were. All were of the same variety,
and looked equally good, and all plant
ed the same day. The homegrown
seed yielded half as large a crop as
that we got from the neighbor and
about one-third as that which came
from Vermont. We have ripened a
good crop of corn from Canadian seed.
when the frost badly hurt that In our
neighbours field planted as early as was
ours. Seeds from Southern melons
fail to produce a good crop in Massa-
chusetts. and we have thought that
other garden seeds were not as good
when purchased from our Southern
dealers as when we knew they were
of Northern growth.-American Guilt
