silage. Its heavy yield, richness In
protein and soil renovating qualities
will command the attention Of all pro-
gressive agriculturists. Glover, with
the possible exception of alfalfa, can
probably be grown and placed in the
silo at lower cost than any other for
age crop.
Vetch is another valuable legume. 1t
will thrive in a greater variety of soils
than clover and can be sown as a catch
crop either in the spring or fall. 1t Is
very palatable to stock and about equal
with clover in nutritive principles and
adaptability for slage.
Alfalfa is also a good silage crop.
This plant under favorable conditions
will yield a crop representing perhaps
a greater value per acre than any other
forage crop grown. With the silo this
crop can be made of inestimable value
to the dairying aud stock growing in
dustry in semarid sections.
Field peas make a good silage crop.
They are rich In protein. but stock do
not relish them quite so well as clover
suits have followed attempts to ensilo
peas and vetch when grown with
grain. While the grain will materially
aid in holding the vetch and pea up,
thus facilitating the harvesting of the
crop, too large a proportion Of grain Is
undesirable when the crop is to be en-
sliced The hollow stems of the grain
carry more or less air into the silo,
which is thought to accelerate fer
mentation and consequent deteriora-
tion of the slage.
The best forage plants for silage are
generally those with solid stems and
which carry over 20 per cent Of solid
matter In their physical structure.
Very succulent plants, such as cab
bage, rape and immature corn, clover
alfalfa or vetch. when carrying much
less than 20 per cent of solid matter
are unsuited for silage.
Recorded results of q large number
of experiments with silage warrants
the conclusion that plants are in the
best condition for silage when they are
fairly we'll matured. Corn Is seemingly
in the best condition for the silo when
the kernels are nicely glazed just after
the roasting ear stage.
The problem of sweet and sour silage
continually comes up, and much the
orizing has been INDUCED In. That
some slage is exceedingly sour is a
well known fact, but the cause of this
condition Is not we'll known. Results
obtained from experiments seem to In
dicate that there are at least two con-
ditions which favor the development
of organic acids in sllage-i. e.. imma-
turity Of the plants and extreme com
pactness Of the silage. A good ex-
ample of the former Is shown in imma-
ture corn silage.
Corn silage which though extremely
acid was exceptionally well preserved,
possessed an agreeable odor. and cows
ate 1t with avidty. There were no ap-
preciable harmful results from feeding
this exceedingly sour silage. The period
of feeding. however, was brief, only ex-
tending over two weeks.

1t is sometimes thought that some con.
Germs, in order to make people believe
that the article in which they deal is
good one, manufacture themselves the
testimonials which they use in their ad-
vertisements. The DR.. Williams Medi.
cine Co., manufacturers of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, however, have
always held that the publication of fic.
ticious or even a misleading testimonial
is not only bad morally but is bad adver-
tising Consequently the greatest care
has always been taken in selecting testi.
monials for their advertising. Every case
Is not only carefully Investigated but in
most instances it is sworn to in legal
form and the affidavit placed on file.
That no doubt may be in the minds of
the public, the company offers one thou
sand dollars (Sl ,000) for evidence of
fraud, on its part, in the publication of
any of the testimonials used in making
known the merits of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. In view of this,
the following remarkable case, published
In the Democrat and Sentinel, Lewiston,
Pa, is given without further comment.
Mr. Frank A. Means, a well known
farmer of Reedsville, Mifflin County, Pa.,
writes:

There are many who think they can
get better crops of grass by sowing the
seed In August or early in September
without grain than in any other way.
We think this Is correct when the land
has been well prepared and the season
is favorable. The one drawback is the
chance of a fall drought, which will
not allow the seed to germinate or
burns out the tender shoots as they
come up. Yet there Is scarcely one year
In ten when this will happen If the
land Is well worked and the seed quick
ly follows after the stirring of the soil.
And one may take his chance almost at
any time from July to Sept. Is to OBJ
tain good weather. We seldom have
six weeks of weather I'm succession un-
fit to SOW the grass seed.-Boston Cul-

GRAIN SHRlNkAGE.
what Wheat, Corn and Oats Lose bY
StOraEe-The Corncob.

Wheat fluctuates in weight according
to the dryness of the air. The extent
of this variation under ordinary condi-
tions does not exceed 6 per cent, but
where the grain is taken from an in-
tensely dry climate to comparatively
damp one the gain may amount to %
per cent.
Oats stored In the fall lost In one
instance over per cent by the follow
ing May, less than 2 per cent in the Sec
ond instance and exactly 2 per cent in
the third and in fourth lost but seven
pounds in 100 bushels.
Corn, when the entire plant Is stored
in the silo, suffers a very considerable
loss in weight. AS an average of four
tests this loss amounted to 1892 per
cent. In other cases the loss varied
from 14.57 to 20.36 per cent.
When the entire plant Is cured In the
field, subsequent variations in weight
are determined by the dryness of the
air. At the Connecticut station, where
273G tons of corn were cut Sept. into
shocks, hauled to the barn later and
stored for fodder, the gross weight
was but AS tons. On Feb. 8 following
the weight was rs tons. In duplicate
test 25.5 tons of green corn weighed but
50 tons on Nov. II and gained to S.5
tons by Feb. 8.
When the corn is husked in the field,
the loss Of weight suffered by the ears
depends on their condition when hauled
to the crib. Very damp corn cribbed
early In October shrunk in weight 80
per cent by the middle of February,
while dry corn cribbed Oct q had
shrunk by the last of January IL per
cent. In another case corn very dry
when hauled shrunk by New Years
less than 8 per cent. At the Iowa sta
ton the loss In an entire year was 20
per cent in one case and o per cent In
another.
The relation between the weights or
kernels and cob does not stay constant
as the ears dry. When first husked,
fully 25 per cent of the weight of the
ears lies in the cob. By spring less than
90 per cent of the weight of the ear Is
In the cob An elaborate set of expert
ments at Houghton farm showed that
the shelled corn lost In weight but
about 7.45 per cent from October to
March, while the cobs lost fully SO per
cent.-D. c. Smith, Michigan Station.

A good time II not the best. to cut
timber or fell trees is In midsummer,
when the leaves are full grown. If the
trees are cut from the 1st Of June TO
the 1st of September and left two or
three weeks until the green leaves are
dried before cutting or splitting. the
leaves will draw the sap from the body
of the tree and thus quickly season the
wood and prevent sap rot and worms.
The 1st of August is one of the best
times to deaden trees. says Field and

The lobster season is from March to
November. and at other times they are
apt TO be stringy and tasteless. AS the
size of lobster increases with age it is
plain that heavy small oneis better than
the larger size which when PRESSED be-
tween the fingers, will often be found to
be yielding. That means that the meat
is scarce aud the water plentiful The
freshness of lobster is shown by the tail,
which ought 10 be curled and springy if
the creature was not dead before the boil
ing process, 10 which case the meat is
very UNIV hoesome Served in its natural
state, as a salad brolled and baked. it
finds its way to the beverage table while
in its many fancy forms it is reserved for
the homes of those who are continually
seeking variety in the food line. The
true flavor of the lobster will never be half
appreciated until il has been tasted in
some of the dishes which are not familiar.
