When to Cut the Corn, How to Pct 1t
In and the why's of Both.
My time for cutting the corn for the
silo is as near as may be when the ears
are just thinking about glazing. When
it is too old for me to eat, it is old
enough for my silo. l do not intend to
run counter to the scientific fellows by
saying 1 am not robbing my silage of
dry properties it might have acquired
if had not interfered, but l have i'm
prisoned for my cows the sweet juices
and fiavors so much relished in the
managers, writes a Pennsylvania to
The National Stockman.
If the corn lacks moisture i'll the lat
ter part of its season, the lower blades
will dry and drop before the hardening
process is operative at the ears. Then
that corn should be cut, for what it
may gain in dry matter above it is los
ing in dry matter below.
If one has a small silo and q few
acres and the filling is small matter
of two or three days, then he can bide
his time and cut when everything APP
pears to be just right
We have 1G acres growing for the
silos, and as we like to fill slowly our
cutting will extend over a period of
possibly three weeks. By filling slowly
we consider we get about 20 per cent
more in our silos than by simply filling
them and passing on.
Silage does rot begin to do it's bust
ness settling for about week, and it
is our rule to cut quite rapidly for two
or three days, then proceed more slow
~ by stopping day and cutting day
alternately.
We use low wagons and a corn har-
vester, sometimes, but when an acre
turns off 20 tons or more the harvester
we have doesn't succeed in getting it
In very far. We have man in the silo
and instruct him to keep the outsides
somewhat higher than the center. This
man is supposed, as Bob Seeds would
say, to keep a-goin, keep a-goin."

Queer Things In an English Egg.
The Pail Mall Gazette tells tba fal.

-tA~Ch AAAAe5S IA III A1h&5AASkA E<es
The Pau Mall Gazette tells the fol-
lowing remarkable egg story:
"a Scarborough gentleman was rath-
er bewildered the other morning to find
no fewer than SO common pins and a
shoemaker's brass sprig imbedded in
the white of his breakfast egg. The
egg had been bought in the Scarbor-
ough market. and it seems that one or
two other eggs purchased there about
the same time have been found to con-
lain two or three pins each. The ex-
traordinary egg is being preserved in
spirits by Scarborough naturalist"
What strange taste the hen that
laid that egg must have had! 1t is now
in order for some one to rise to demon
strate that such thing is an utter inn
possibility. Some people are SO practi-
cal that they would spoil any good sto-
~ for the sake of physiological accu-
racy.

Mangels as stock Feed.

Mangels. or stock beets, are harder to

In garden work plants have been

They are also being trained to single
stems and then have a peculiar effect

Killing Canada Thist1es.

When a summer fallow is resorted to,
there is no trouble in clearing the land
of perennial thistles, either by shallow
blowing or by using a cultivator with
wide points on the teeth so that they
will overlap and go over the fallow at
least every three weeks until about the
LIST of August. By this time they will
all be killed.

How to Boil Vegetables.

A cooking teachers directions for
boiling vegetables, even onion, cab
bage or cauliflower, without filling the
house with an unpleasant smell are to
cover the vegetables with boiling salt
ed water and stand the kettle aside,
where they cannot boil rapidly again,
until tender. 1t is the steam, accord
ing to this authority, that is driven off
by rapid boiling that carries away not
only the odor, but the favor Of yege-

1t used to be thought that rapid fill
ing of the silo was all important. 1t
must be filled so fast that no layer of
fodder could wilt before it was covered
with another, and thus the fermenta-
ton, beginning at the bottom, must
gradually work up through the mass
until 1t reached the surface, where oXi-
dization or rotting began. which again
worked downward until the decayed
matter on the surface prevented any
more air from going down, says Amer
lean Cultivator. Naturally we accept
ed this idea. as it was sent out by
learned chemists and scientific men,
but opinions have changed since those
days in the light of positive facts. The
farmers vho have not been able to fill
their silos as rapidly as they wished to
or have been obliged to wait for help.
for weather or for some later field to
attain maturity or those who from lack
of facilities for rapid handling have
been obliged to fill slowly have found
their ensilage was in no way inferior
to that which was all put in practically
at one time or without pause excepting
for the nights rest. And some have
learned that it does not injure it if a
part of the water in it dries out before
it is cut. The moisture is enough I'M
less the fodder has become dry before
cutting by reason of being overripe,
suffering from drought or being frost
bitten. Either of these causes may
make fodder so dry that it will be bene-
flied by wetting before it is pressed
