silage feeding where oats and hay
were used as supplementary feeds was
49,. 80, where shock corn with oats and
hay were fed 337.91 pounds, a differ
ence of 47.45 pounds per acre in favor
of system of silage feeding.
So far as the cost of harvesting and
feeding crops for the production of
beef is concerned in the net profits of
the enterprise, it should be borne in
mind that it will probably require near
ly twice as great an expenditure of la
Dor and capital in a system of silage
feeding as in a system of shock corn
feeding.
The silage fed steers were in much
better thrift and flesh at the end of the
experiment than were the shock corn
fed steers.
In case of the silage fed steers $3.50
per cent of the meat produced was
beef and 2.31 per cent pork. In case of
the shock corn fed steers S4.22 per cent
of the meat produced was beef and
1913 per cent was pork This clearly
shows that pork production is an i'm
portant factor in a system of feeding
shock corn for beef production, while
it may be entirely eliminated from a
system of silage feeding for beef pro-
duction practically without loss.
1t should be noted that the silage fed
lot consumed less feed than the shock
corn lot and less feed per pound of
gain whether beef alone is considered
or beef and pork combined. The
amount of. dry matter required to pro-
duce a pound of gain of meat where
the corn was fed in the form of Silage
was 652 pounds; where fed in the
form of shock corn it was S.57 pounds.
With an average daily ration to each
steer fed silage of 26 pounds silage, 2
pounds oats and 4.55 pounds of mixed
hay an average daily gain of 1.6S
pounds was secured for a period of
Lightweight days. With an average
daily ration to each steer fed shock
corn of 1922 pounds shock corn, 2
pounds oats and pounds mixed hay
an average daily gain of 1.42 pounds
was secured for period of eighty
eight days.
Under conditions comparable with
those prevailing in this experiment one
steer would be able to make an aver
age daily gain of 1.6S pounds for pc
Rod of six months on 80 of an acre of
silage, oats and hay, of which 81 of an
acre would be devoted TO corn for sill
age, % of an acre to oats and % of an
acre to hay. One steer receiving shock

and late Towering varieties could be
planted alternately, taking care to note
which are of taller growing habit.
The cultural demands of the phlox
are easily supplied. A good garden
loan and liberal supplies of water dur
ing the summer will do everything.
The plants can get on without so much
water, but not then do as well, how
ever, and the Towering period is short
ened. A liberal top dressing of rich
soil each spring is desirable. Accord
ing to variety. the shoots may be
thinned out in the spring, SO as to in
sure good heads on those that remain.
Propagation is by seeds, cuttings of
stem and root and by division. OF
course the first named method is not
available for increasing stock of a
given variety, and division of the old
root offers an easy method for the mod
crate increase. Commercially reliance
had best be on cuttings, which can be
taken at all seasons outdoors and
from hotbed plants during winter.
There is vast host of named varie-
ties offered in the several catalogues
of European florists, and each year the
French raisers add new ones to the
lists. The colors range from pure
white, through rose and mauve to GRIM
son and purple, with scarlet and salm-
on hues intermiXed, and show an al
most endless blending of body and eye
tints. 1t is quite impossible to convey
any real idea of the colorS of these
flowers. They are more bright and del
icate than in any other group of plants.
The Mahdi, one of the very latest in
Productions, has been received with
much admiration in Europe. It's color,
deep rosy purple, is remarkably pure,
and it outclasses all similar varieties.
In whites there are several to choose
from. LIE Cygne (swan) has very
large flower, midseason; White Queen,
July to middle of August, is a very free
bloomer; Jeanne dare, early. Fiancee
is another early, with large trusses.

White, with colored eye, gives a
pleasing effect, and here one may

We are inclined to think that in the
effort to do business on the largest
scale possible the modern thrashing
outfit has grown altogether too large
for profitable work either for the own
er of the machine or his patrons. In
communities where these huge ma
chimes are at work every available
hand from a dozen or more farms has
to be drafted to operate it. and when
the thrashing Is interfered with. as it
was this season by continuous rains. an
immense loss results. Either the grain
should be stacked as in the old way,
which is always a good way. or a
smaller thrashing outfit should be
owned jointly by two or three farmers

PREPARING BIRDS FOR SHOW
They Must Be Thoroughly Tanned
and Kept ns Clean as Possible.

They Must Be Thoroughly Tanned
and kept ns Clean as Possible.
Before making an exhibit at any fair
or show the main point to consider is
the proper conditioning and prepara-
ton of the stock. Every one knows
that fowls as usually found on the
range are far from being in presenta-
BILE shape for appearance In the show
arena. Consequently they must be
placed in suitable coops and runs for
conditioning. This means that they
must be carefully handleA cleaned and
put In proper weight. If bird Is wild,
it must be tanned and made to pose
and handle well in the hands of stran-
gers, as the judge must handle them,
and judge has no patience with a
wild or frightened bird. A good bird
untamed and out of condition Is often
left out of consideration by the judge
when otherwise it might have won an
honorable place. On the other hand,
an inferior specimen well shown is Of
ten given first prize by reason of it's
condition and proper preparation for
the judges inspection.
Another matter of great Importance
is cleanliness. A bird to show to good
advantage must be clean. No matter
how good specimen may be, If shown
with soiled and broken plumage it can
never be depended upon to command
the admiration of the judge.
Most fowls will clean and condition
themselves If placed in clean and suit
able quarters. Put them in rooms or
pens well supplied with clean straw
or chaff and keep their quarters clean,
and they will usually take care Of
themselves. A white bird should
in most cases be washed before going
into the showroom. To do this proper
ly requires that the one doing the work
must be familiar with the operation.
Take two common washtubs and fill
each about half full Of water. The first
or scrubbing bath should be about as
warm as required for washing clothes;
the other should be milk warm and
contain perfectly clean water made
blue with ordinary bluing about the
same as rinse water for white clothes.
w ACA OIL 40 ACdOJy use PulC Cdoli1c
soap and scrub every fowl thoroughly,
using care not to rub against the feath-
ers so as to break them. After the
work Of scrubbing is thoroughly ac-
complished put the fowl into the rims
ing water, and be very particular to
rinse all the soap from the feathers.
The next and most difficult part of
the work is drying. This may best be
accomplished by carefully rubbing
with turkish towel before a fire.
When the bird is as dry as it is posi-
BILE to make it in this way, place it in
a clean coop which has been previous
" prepared with about six inches Of
clean straw, and the bird will soon
appear as clean and bright as a new
silver dollar. The next important thing
is to keep it in this condition until it
reaches the showroom, which may be
accomplished by keeping the birds
apartments scrupulously clean at all
times during it's confinement pending
its trip to the show.

Relative Merits In Beefmaking.
Pork as a Side Issue.
The Illinois agricultural experiment
station has been investigating the rela-
tive merits of silage and shock corn as
factors in beef production. An expert
ment was conducted on the extensive
farm of a Mclean county cattle feeder.
In the feeding of 5.33 acres of silage to
calves 500 acres of crops other than
corn were used. In the feeding of 5.33
acres of shock corn to calves 5.6S acres
of crops other than corn were used.
This difference may or may not be
found unavoidable. Among conclusions
arrived at were the following:
1t requires third longer time to feed
an acre of corn silage than an acre of
shock corn.
