Ration For staera

The amount of alfalfa hay In addition
to maintenance required for pound of
gain will depend on the amount fed OF
the quantity that the animal will eat
and assimilate over and above that re-
quired for maintenance, says Luther
Foster of the Wyoming experiment sta
ton. Alfalfa alone does not make a
well balanced ration for growing steers.
1t has too much digestible protein in
proportion TO the other nutrients. For
best results 1t should be fed with some
concentrate, such as corn, very rich IN
nitrogen free extract.

Cornstalks should be cut into about
inch lengths. The finer the cut the
more compact the silage, says Breed
ers Gazette. AS the silo fills with the
fresh cut corn, ears and all, the mate
rial should be spread evenly and care
fully tramped next the walls. One may
fill the Silo in three or four days or
be two or three weeks conducting
the operation. The slower it is filed
the more material can be got into it.
A practical silo should not be less than
Is feet in diameter and should be from
a to 80 feet deep. AS silo filling nears
completion let the material settle and
add more so as to have it well filed.
The covering may consist of the cut
corn forage material itself, or of nu-
merous other substances about the
farm. Marsh grass, weeds or other
waste green material can be run
through the feed cutter and placed one
or two feet deep on top Of the silage
mass. Chaffed straw or oat chaff is
also excellent. These materials should
be; thoroughly wet so as to render
them heavy and cause them to pack

Stlo and EnsiIage.
People are fast learning that good
ensilage can only be secured in a first
class silo and that silo made of poor
material or from lumber that warps or
twists will always prove disappointing
to its owner, says a writer In National
Stockman. This is illustrated by the
method of canning fruit. If the can is
sealed alright, the fruit can be pre-
served all through the winter. But If
the rubber packing is poor or the top
is not screwed on tight, admitting the
air, the contents "work" and are spoil
ed. The same thing holds true with a
silo. Unless the walls are impervious
to both air and moisture one must not
expect to keep his ensilage sweet. The
cheap structures made of old fence
boards should not be called silos. Yes
sells of this kind have also led many
men to reject silage and probably ac-
counts for the unjust and sweeping
condemnation of it by milk condensa-
ries. There has never been food upon
which all kinds of stock thrive so well
and which gives such large returns as
Indian corn, cut and preserved In a
silo in the form Of ensilage. AS Pro-
fessor Henry says, Cheap silos are q
delusion and snare, while good ones
enable Indian corn to yield its greatest
benefactions to man"
Feeding EnsfIaUe
One can begin to feed silage from the
top of the silo as soon as cutting
ceases, or the material may be left un-
til needed In winter time, says Breed
er's Gazette. The silo should be ar
ranged to have such diameter that
from an inch and a half to two inches
of silage will be fed off the top each
day. If less than this amount is fed
off, trouble may arise from the ex-
posed silage starting to heat and mold
If so much as an inch and a half or
two inches is fed off daily, then the
silage material at the surface is always
fresh and In good condition.

Chemical analysis does not show that
there is any constant difference be-
tween white corn and yellow corn as
to nutrients, says Professor W. a..
Henry. 1t Is doubtless true that some
varieties of yellow corn are better or
more nutritious than some varieties OF
white corn, but these differences are
not inherent because Of color.

by the use of a narrow harrow that

Rape makes very satisfactory calf

crops, there is danger of bloating; con-

We. have an inquiry from az gnung
man aged 20. lie is q representa tive
western farm boy. has always lived
and worked on the farm and ,avaiLed
himself Of such educational advantages
as the local country school afforded
He says he expects to stay with hia
father until he Is OF age and then COM
mence life for himself He owns d
team of horses and has saved up $3.50
IN money. He wants Us to tell him
how he can work II SO that be may
best succeed as farmer and says that
he would like to raise good stock, grow
big crops and farm in a little better
way than he has been brought up to.
This Is another of those hard QueS-
tlons which folks seem to like to fire
at us. So much depends upon the
young man himself, the locality where
he may settle down for business and
the sort of girl that he sits up with
Sunday evenings. If he locates where
land Is worth from $50 to $50 per acre,
he Will be compelled to put more brains
and science into his work than If he
takes a homestead on some frontier set
tlement If he is to work high priced
land and wants to farm better than his
father did, we would advise him to go
to one of the many excellent agricuI-
| tural colleges and spend what money
he has got in acquiring n knowledge
| Of the technical and scientific agri-
turc. This would include farm me-

winters or so used would easily make a

he go into business on his own hook
and rent good farm, for instance, he
would be almost certain to make a

is that such an effort is an eye opener

sire to know more and occupy higher
| place in his profession. He may not
do this, but instead marry. rent a farm

taken pains to inform herself in an all
round way. Her idea of advocating
the good consists in abusing in a maIig-

not believe as she does. When her fits
of tea delirium are on, her temper is as
fierce as that of a Robespierre, yet she
honestly believes she is helping reform

was her devoted slave. She made wo-
mans rights speeches, in which she
abused the tyrant and monster man

to get her legal and civil rights from
men will not abuse them for every
thing that is bad, will she? Rather
will she Jolly tl.em a bit Mrs. Wo-

sive to the masculine sex that by the
score she turned them against the
cause Instead of building up the
beautiful temple of liberty for woman,
she merely scored men. When she
was buried, there was not a man at
her funeral as a mourner, not even
her sons-in-law, who might have been
expected to be present on the occasion
with especial Zest. So the masculine
sex got even with her at last.
There, too, is Mr. Antique Hem,
