The Indiana station has just con-
structed a silo that holds about sixty
five tons, says G. S. Plumb of the Pur
due experiment station. 1t is - feet in
diameter and % feet high. Studs 16
and II feet long of 2 by 4 pine were
placed vertically end to end, long and
short alternating to break joints and
II inches from center to center on a
circular brick foundation two layers
deep. No. l pine fencing l inch by 6
inches by 16 feet was then resawed to
make boards a half inch by 6 inches by
16 feet and these dressed to make them
lay true. These were then nailed
around the inside against the studs,
forming q circle, two men bending
them into place and mailing on. First
one layer was nailed up for a space,
then tarred paper was laid over this
layer, and this was followed by another
layer of half inch stuff, breaking joints
with that underneath. Four doors were
left at convenient intervals, the width
between studs and about Is inches
high. Boards and tarred paper may
be laid in these doorways, the ends
tapping against the studs when the
silo is filled. No roof is provided or nee
essary. Such silo is strong and mex
pensive and will preserve the contents
in good condition. This one cost, with
out boarding the outside of the studs,
slightly under $50, not including labor.

sweet silage is a chemical process in
duced by the life action of the living
plant cells, says L. w. Lightly in Ma
tional Stockman. The experience Of
siloists will, I believe, sustain this.
When we have very dry season and
the corn is wilted and withered, with
some leaves scorched, or when the corn
is frosted, thus not having the life proc
esses all in full vigor, we nearly always
have poor silage. If we have vigorous
growing, brittle, bright green, thrifty
plants in the full vigor OF life just at
the joint where all life processes are
in their greatest activity, the reproduc-
ton of it's kind, the perfecting OF the
seed-I say if we have these conditions

Whole Corn Silage.
In most sections corn for the silo IS
cut into one-half to three-quarter inch
lengths by running through feed cut
ter 1t is elevated at once to the silo,
carefully spread and in some cases
tramped down, says Farm and Home.
A few dairymen and feeders have had
much success in putting whole corn in
to the silo. IT this is done, the corn
must be cut little greener, so that it
will pack more completely. Mr.. Hold
son of southern Wisconsin has had ex-
cellent results with whole corn silage.

Every person acquainted with the
Babcock test has been frequently con-
fronted with the question, What
makes the milk test vary?" says E. S.
Cooley of the Massachusetts station.
Popular prejudice is prone to jump at
the conclusion that anything so vari-
able is worthless. A knowledge Of
the principles of the Babcock test, ex-
tended experience in it's practical work
ings and close comparisons of it's re-
suits with exact chemical analysis
have convinced every one who has
taken the trouble to investigate these
matters that the test is thoroughly re-
liable and practical and that causes Of
variation must be sought elsewhere.
Milk itself is not so uniform as is
often supposed and is subject to wide
differences in composition. Fat, the
most valuable constituent of milk, is
the most variable. The casein and
sugar of milk vary only within mar
row limits, but the fat is subject to
wide variations. Among the more COM
mon causes of differing percentages of
fat in milk are:
Breed.-Jersey, Guernsey and Devon
milk usually contain larger percent
ages of fat than Holstein or Ayrshire.
Observation-Disclosures is often a wider
difference in the fat content Of the
milk Of two Jersey COWS or two Hol-
stein COWS than between the averages
of the two breeds. Each COW has a
normal quality of milk born with her,
and, while external conditions may
vary the proportion of fat somewhat
from time to time her milk has a con-
slant tendency to return to it's normal
fat content, which is retained with
much constancy through life.
LactatiOn. - Fresh COWS generally
yield milk with less fat than when in
a more advanced stage of lactation.
This variation often amounts to more
than / per cent increase from the first
month after calving to the last month
before drying off.
Age.-Young heifers usually yield
poorer milk during the first lactation
period than during the fourth and fifth,
when they reach maturity. Again, old
COWS in the decline of life have been
observed to give milk poorer in fat
than when in their prime.
Feed.-Though always the first thing
the farmer thinks of when his milk va
ries, feed appears to have only very
slight effect on it's quality. A vast
amount of information has been piling
up on this question, and it generally
points to the conclusion that feed has
only a minor influence on the fat con-
tent Of milk Indeed Professor Hills
results indicate that it's influence is eX-
actly the opposite of the popular no.
ton. He finds that the richer the feed
the poorer the milk.

PROGRESS IN DAlRYING.
Effect of Dual Purpose Ideas In Varf-
Gus States.

Effect OF Dual Purpose Ideas In Vari-
Gus States.
Dairymen are almost invariably the
result of the ideas they have absorbed.
These ideas govern the work Of their
hands, says Hoard's Dairyman. They
are the standards to which they I'M
consciously refer. This basic truth is
seen in thousands of communities. Go
through New York, Vermont, Illinois,
Wisconsin or California or any state in
the Union and note those communities
where the largest prosperity in dairy
ing prevails.
Where do the farmers make the lar
gest profits from their cows? Where
are the best COWS produced? Where
do we notice the best dairy methods in
use, the best barns and stables, the
most silos-in short, the largest evil
dence of dairy progress and the preva-
lence of the most intelligence? Is it
in those communities where the dual
purpose idea of the COW prevails? Not
So Almost invariably the most pros
porous dairy communities are those
where the ideas of the farmers tend to
breeding and keeping of the special
purpose dairy COW. These are the
farmers that make the most money per
COW, who show by their surroundings
the best evidence of prosperity.

Feed Young Cows Literally.

Young COWS require to be literally
fed. 1t must be borne in mind that the
two-yearold cow has not only to yield
milk, but also complete her growth,
says f. S. Cooley of the Massachusetts
experiment station. If concentrates are
withheld at this time on the mistaken
notion that they are injurious to young
COWS, not only is her milk flow lessen
ed, but she is hindered from reaching
her most useful development. 1t may
not be desirable to crowd young heifers
with heavy feed, but when they milk
deeply there must be the material to
supply the drain just as we'll as in ma
ture COWS

Gender of the Sword.

Among the many curious notions OBJ
tanning among the different races using
the sword may be noted the gender of
the weapon. In the north Of Europe it
was either masculine, as in Britain, or
neuter, as in Germany, while in the
south it was uniformly feminine. Its
force and cruelty appealed to the north
ern mind. It's grace and elegance at
tracted the warriors Of the sunny south.
1t typified to the one strength, to the
other dignity.-Exchange.

The Water Supply.

An abundant supply of pure water is
one of the essentials for the production
of good milk. When cows are COM
PEELED to drink the water of swamps,
muddy ponds or sluggish streams and
bitches, in which there is decaying ami
NAL matter, including their own drop
pings, there is a constant menace to
their health, and unless cows are in
good health they cannot give first class
milk. Moreover, the mud, often full Of
foul germs, which collects on the legs,
TANKS and udders of the COWS and falls
into the milk at the time Of milking, is
q direct source of infection which is
often overlooked.

Beware of Oiutn1e1tS for Gatarrh
that Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on peescrip-
tiops from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do is ten fold to the
good you can possibly derive from them.
Halls Cattrrh Cure, manufactured by F.
J. Cheney & Co., Toledo. o., contains no
mercury. and is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. In buying Halls

Self Sucking Cows.

A self sucking cow is nuisance and
is generally incurable. She should be
fattened and sold for beef or sold to
some one who will fatten her and sell
her for beef. There are a number of
contrivances that will prevent self
sucking, but they are all more or less
cruel. The best plan is to get rid of
the cow,

AN INHUMAN FATHER.
His Child Starved and Beaten to
Death.

Beaufort, S. c., July 2O.-The facts
of a homicide committed at Rocky
Point plantation, Sheldon township,
this county, have just been made
known here. The testimony of the sew
eral witnesses before Deputy Coroner
Roger Pinckney over the body of An
drew Michael, a 5-year-old negro boy,
all ends to the conclusion that the vic
tim was starved. There was no per-
son about the premises when the cor
oners witness found the body, which
was nude and fearful lacerated, but
jenkins Michael, the dead infants
father, returned while he (the witness)
was engaged with several neighbors in
preparing the corpse for burial The
elder Michael, according to the testi-
mony, became furious when informed
that the circumstances of his sons
death would have to be investigated.
The child was last seen alive on the
previous afternoon, when he told A wo-
man who was passing that he was
hungry and that his papa had
beat him with a stick and threatened
to kill him. A post-mortem eXamina-
ton revealed that the child's death was
due to starvation and beating, and
that several wounds in the region of
the abdomen, evidently inflicted with a
stick, would have caused his death.
jenkins Michael is said to have gone
to Georgia. Gov. insolvency has been
furnished with the official records and
has been requested to offer a reward
for the capture of the inhuman father.
