Mr.. A. e. Hodgett Of Hay, Ont, ia
vors the building of cement silos,
which will last as long as man is on
the face of the earth, says the st. Paul
Farmer.
He describes how to build a concrete
silo II feet in diameter inside and 80
feet high.
by all means build a silo with six
corners, as you can build a lighter wall
than If you were building a square silo.
First dig a trench about 20 inches wide
and about 20 inches deep. Fill this up
with concrete and large stone. Pound
the cement well in around the stone.
Then put up your scantling or long
poles fattened or n side. Stake them
firmly at the bottom, three at each cor
ner, two on the outside and one on the
inside. Tack small strips across from
one to the other to keep them in their
places. Go around each corner in this
way: then tack a piece of lumber from
corner to corner, and then they are
ready for cutting your plank to fit.
Take a plank. say, nine inches wide.
cut it in two, say long enough to go
from corner to corner. Then lay two
edges together and nail a piece across
the back to keep them together. Go
around the silo with these planks, in
side and outside. Make wall of silo IA
inches at bottom and 8 inches at the
top. Make the batter on the outside.
Make the inside of your silo an inch
smaller at the top than at the bottom
SO that it will give the ensilage a
chance to settle without pressing too
much on the walls of the silo. In set
ting up your uprights at II make
them six inches wider than you are
going to have your wall. so you can
have your plank and room for an inch
wedge at back. Set up plank. Cut
small piece Of board fourteen inches
long. Put between planks. Put In YOU
inch wedge between planks and up-
rights. Then take gravel and cement
Zone Of cement and five Of clean, sharp
graveD. mix well together. Then wet it
enough So it will stay in a ball when
you take and squeeze 1t in your hand.
Now take it and put it between the
plank. Take an old Ak or n small stone
hammer and pound we'll down. ut the
same time laying in all the stone that
you can as long as you keep them
back. say two inches from the edges
on either side. After you 90 around it
once knock out your wedges. take your
plank bac' from part Of wall first
built and lift up about sixteen inches.
Knock in your wedges again and then
start to fill the next round. Keep lift:
Ing your plank rs you 60 around. l
also build in iron bands around the silo
every four feet. Any old buggy tire
will do by cutting them long enough to
20 around" i.

almost attained an average Of 100
pounds a day for a month. In four
months Jamaica gave almost 10000
pounds of milk and about 10000
pounds during this. her second milking
period. From her milk for a week
23h pounds Of butter were made. The
average of grain fed to the COW during
her greatest yield vas tw~enty-eight
pounds, costing 80 cents. with an abun-
dance Of cut beets and good hay. and
she had access to spring water in the
stable yard five or six times a day.
She received no silage, Stops, stimulat-
ing food o drugs. Jamaica was Of
medium size for her race, handsomely
marked. vigorous and very stylish, as
shown by her likeness. This was made
about the time of her famous test.
She then weighed 1892 pounds. Her
owner was offered $4,000 for this COW
and her heifer calf, shown in the pic
ture. before her milk yield reached
100 pounds a day. After her great
performance, this offer was increased
to $4,000, and $4,000 was refused for
the calf alone.-Dairy and Creamery.

A recent article in the Dairyman on
ment. a cow kicks from only four
causes-namely, pain, fright, nervous
ness and viciousness. The first three
causes are by proper treatment easily
overcome. There is no room on earth
for a habitually vicious cow, and she is
easily disposed of. Beef her at once,
for no matter how good she may be
she is not worth b%Othering with.
A COW knows as well as her owner
when a whip is kept in the stable, and
she is ever alert for it. A COW that has
been whipped will as a rule start and
shrink at the approach Of her master
or the sound of his voice. and as a o n
sequence both the milk flow and fat
content is notably diminished.
Harsh treatment or words affect us
all, according to our temperament, and
a dairy COW is no exception. A man
who canno keep cows without resort
ing to the use of a whip had better re-
tire from dairying and exercise his
muscle chopping wood or carrying the
hod. a whip may be necessary in
training steers-Of that | cannot speak
but | am fully convinced that any
means of punishment in Il dairy herd
is a losing game.-J. II. in uoard's
Dairyman.
A Valuable Circular.
State Dairy Commissioner II. L..
Wright Of Iowa has issued Il circular
containing valuu' lr hints to dairymrn.
and he is very much "rntitied at the de.
mand which is being made for it. The
first issue of 800 copies is exhausted.
and there arc requests for three times
that many now on file with the dairy
commissioner. The circular has been
carefully prepared and takes up vaIi-
Gus subjects of interest and help to
dairymen. One of its most popular ftI-
lures seems to be the table giving com
parative value Of feedstuffs for dairy
cows and carefully worked out to very
small percentages.

Popularity Of SilOs.

Reports from some of the dairy sec,
tons say hat silos OF silo stock is
coming in by the carload and that the
number in use will be largely increased
this year and in future years. says an
exchange. This feeling In favor Of
the silo is increased by the fact that
in many cases those who feed ensilage
are getting ut the creameries credit
for more butter fat and a better price
for their milk than those who feed
hay and do not expend any more for
grain. though they may balance their
rations a little better. and the good
price paid for hay may have some In
fluence, for dairymen would not object
to having a few tons Of hay to sell
and yet be able to keep rs many cows
and sell as much milk or butter as they
do when they feed out all Of their hay.

The Minnesota dairy and food COM
missioner has entered upon a most
worthy work In the way of prevent
Ing those creamery proprietors who
make a practice Of undertaking the
milk test. One case is that Of the Sec
rotary OF the Delavan creamery, who
has been arrested and fined for in
s%tructing his butter maker to short cut
the test of milk and cream that came
to the creamery. The st. Paul Globe
In commenting on the fact very truth
fully says:
Where there are several creameries
within easy distance Of a farmer he
will naturally go to the creamery that
will pay him the most for his cream.
If one or the creameries underreads
larger price than is offered by the
creameries where the test is properly
recorded. In this way the creamery
gets a greater patronage than the other
creameries by fraudulent means. 1t
creates an unfair competition, and not
only do the other creameries suffer, but
in the long run the farmer also loses,
because he is not actually getting the
same return as he would get from the
other creameries were his own cream
correctly tested.
The Angus-Jersey Cross.
Cows Of the Erica, Jennet and Co.
Quet families are considered good milk
ers by those who handle them and are
undoubtedly better for dairy purposes
than the general run of scrub cattle
found throughout the country, says r.
d. Rosa of Goodland, Kan. AS fair
milking, high class beef cattle no breed
probably surpasses them.
Some fat calves from Jersey cows
and an Angus bull topped the fat calf
market in Chicago one day last Novem-
Der. This is, at least, one Of the few
times if not the only time half Jerseys
have competed with beef bred calves
and topped the market. According to
all market reports and to every known
test, no bull can produce more valua-
BILE calves and calves more salable at
an early age than an Angus.
Know What You Are Doing.
The COW is Of paramount cOnse-
quence in the business of making mar
ket milk. The dairyman should deter
mine the character or quality of milk
he proposes to produce and sell and
the minimum quantity Of milk Of this
kind which he will demand from every
COW he owns during the 1865 days in
every year which he is obliged to feed
and care for her.
The Cow the Year ~
The cow should have good care
twelve months in the year. She should
give milk ten months and rest two
months. During the latter time she
should have little or no concentrated
food and the last forty-eight hours be-
fore calving have laxative food.

state during the month of June be-
tween $135.UOO and $40. 600 for butter

of the towns in the state said that in
his town more money was being paid
out to the farmers for dairy products
than for grain.

Fat Cows.

flesh. says a writer in Rural New
Yorker. These COWS are holding their
milk flow better than some others that
were fed more heavily upon protein
foods and consequently at the time
gave more milk. ! came to the con
clusion that these rich heterogeneous
foods must not. for the we'll being OF

ticularly is this true under present
