Facts About the si1o.


Silage is as valuable in summer as in
winter.
Thirty pounds day is enough silage
for an average sized Jersey COW. Larger
cattle will eat more.
A cubic foot of silage from the middle
of a medium sized silo will average
about forty-fve pounds.
Fifteen feet in diameter and thirty
feet is a good depth Such silo would
hold about 200 tons of silage cut in half
inch lengths.
Silage comes nearer being a perfect
substitute for the succulent food Of the
pasture than any other food that can
be had in winter.
Corn just passing out of roasting ear
stage is the best single material for 81
lage. Corn and cowpeas are the best
combined material.
A larger amount of healthful food for
cattle can be preserved in the silo in
better condition, at less expense of Ia
Dor and land, than by any other method
known.
The circular silo, made of good, hard
wood slaves, is the cheapest and best.
For 1872 days. or half year, an aver
age Jersey COW will require about six
tons of silage, allowing for unavoida-

Using Abandoned Pastures.

In many sections of the country but
perhaps more largely in the East, one
will find on the farms fields which had
been used for pasture until they were
no longer profitable for that purpose
and not thought worth breaking up and
re-seeding. Eight out of every ten Of
such pastures could be turned into fer
tile fields by proper handling. One ex-
cellent plan for doing this is to break
up this pasture, manuring it as heavily
as one can afford, and plant to corn.
Cultivate the corn several times during
the growing period and sow, in August
or September, to some cover crop. The
following spring plant to potatoes. Flu
ture crops should be according to fer
tilizing and what one wishes to grow.
The main point in this item is to call
attention to the value Of these aban-
doned pastures for the first crop Of
corn. Eniugh corn may be grown to
carry a herd of pigs to a profitable
market and at an expense that Will
hardly be felt.-Exchange

Feeding Sugar Beetss

In sections where sugar beets can be
grown at comparatively small expense
thew should form one of the crops for
stock feed even if not grown for fac
tory use. In many localities sugar beets
will form fair part of the ration this
winter when grain is scarce and high
in price. Some complaints have been
made about the sugar beets, but, in
most cases, this is due to using them
too freely. No green food or root crop
should be used at the expense of grain
or roughage, except in part, although
they may be more freely used than they
are. especially sugar beets. They are
especially desirable in the early spring
for sows that have farrowed, and for
new mich COWS, greatly increasing the
milk flow. All farm stock is fond of
sugar beets, and If they are on the farm
or can be bought at a fair price they
should form part of the ration as long
as they may be had or until the stock
is turned out in the spring.

AN ARTIFICIAL INFERNO.
Risks Attending Certain Departments
of Steel Making.

Walden FaWcett pictures very vivid
| ly in the Century the special risks
attending certain departments of the
work of steel making at Pittsburg.
The mode of operating one Of the
older furnaces, although it was the
| accepted method only few years ago,
seems crude enough now. Workmen
with shoyels transfer the fuel and raw
material from the railroad-cars to
novel iron wheelbarrows which are
| loaded on rickety-looking elevator
that creeps creakingly up the outside
| Of the furnace to the top, hundred
feet in the air. Perched up on this
chimney-like structure, with the mol
| ten pool directly Notwithstanding
above the crater Of volcano, as it
were,-are workmen whose daily occu-
patton is as dangerous as that of a
| steeple-climber.
The deadliest danger is from the
great wave of poisonous gases which
rushes up with terrific force whenever
| the ''bell,'' as the top of the furnace
! is called is opened to admit fresh
supply of fuel or ore. AS rule, the
escaping gases become ignited, and
woe betide the unfortunate workman
who is tardy in retreating before the
sheet Of flame that momentarily illum-
| mates the whole countryside. At
times, however, the gases do not pass
| off in flame, and the effect upon the
workmen af this terrible rush OF car
bonic acid fumes is very much the
same as. that which might be expected
| from an over dose of whisky. Some
| times a severe attack of hiccOughs and
a violent headache warn the worker
that he must quickly seek clearer at
mosphere, but more often the laborer
| falls in his tracks as completely over
come as though heavy dose of ether
| or chloroform had been administered.
So many men have lost their lives or
been terribly burned by pitching head
| long within the zone of heat and flame
when staggering from the Supplying
odor that, nowadays, an extra man is
stationed at the top of the old-fashion-
ed furnace, back where he will not be
reached by the gases, whose duty 1t is
to drag to the elevator and take to the
ground as quickly as possible any of
the men who may be overcome. 1t
is not an unusual sight, at good-slzed
blast-furnace plant Of long establish
ment, to see half a dozen dazed men
stretched side by side upon the grass,
the CHASTITY pallor which the gas has
wrought intensified by the blotches
of CRIME which partly obscure it.
More terrifying even than the men
ace of the gases is the eyer-present
possibility of an explosion that will
toss the massive cover of the furnace
into the air. Sometimes this giant
lid rises only few yards and then
falls back into place, but there have
| been instances when it landed on the
ground many rods away. Whatever
be the force of one of these sudden
upheavaIs of the lava-like mass, the
laborers on top of the furnace have
no warning of it's approach, and their
| chances of life, when flames burst
forth as though from cannon
mouth, constitute the most uncertain
of problems.

Fruit Asserting Table.

The cut shows an asserting table for
fruit or roots, which is about 3 by IL
feet and nearly 3 feet high, with a four
inch rim all around so as to hold about
six bushels Of apples or potatoes and
bring them right up so that the men
can stand up straight in sorting. Speak
ing of asserting potatoes in the cellar,
a correspondent says in reference to
this table: With a wire scoop shovel
we scoop them up from the cement bot
toned cellar, leaving all dirt and dust
on the floor to be swept up and taken
out The table stands in good light
and the sorting is far more rapid, easy
and accurate than when you knee]
down and sort from the big pile. The

Kitchen Apron.

The best apron for occasional use in
the kitchen is made of straight lengths
of Bingham sewed together in a piece
wide enough to easily envelop the fig
ure The bottom and sides are hemmed.
Openings are cut at the top for the
arms, the two sides being connected
over the shoulder by a double bias
band. The neck, both back and front,
is straight and is gathered into fac
ing. The distance between the open
ings for the arms should be determined
by the width required at the foot Of the
skirt. Three or four buttons and but
tonholes close the back. The beauty
Of these aprons is that while they are
quickly made they protect the gown
at the back as well as at the front, and
prevent the waist from being spattered
while beating eggs, batter, cream and
the like.

as much as possible from the farm is
too strong and too far-reaching. Time
was when sales from the farm were
made only after provision had been
made for the living and comfort of the
occupants, human and animal. Then,
too, the soil was considered, and if it
needed anything produced on the farm
it was furnished. These things wen
provided for, the surplus, If any, was

the soil. True, there was not SO much
ready cash handled as now, but there
were fewer things for which cash was

could be produced on the farm was so
produced. 1t is admitted that in this
age, when things are deemed necessi-

TREATMENT of old Orchards.

Many an old and apparently worth
less orchard might be made of value by
encouraging the growth of the young
shoots. One orchard of the kind de-
scribed was supposed to be too old to
be worth anything. The large branches
were cut back freely and where a
young shoot with much vigor was
found the cut was made so that this
shoot was not injured nor the flow
of sap In the main branch retarded.
Grating was done in some Of the small
er branches and the trees bore several
good crops of fruit; more than enough
to pay for the work and the after care
of the soil. True, it was taking a
chance, but the labor was not great
and the trees were yalueless- unless
treated in some such manner.

Breed Mature Sheep.

Don't breed the lambs. This is bad
mistake so frequently permitted or pur-
posely made as to call for earnest re
monstrance. Theree is no surer way
to run down a flock than this. If per-
sisted in, it will annually lessen the
size of the lambs, so that in a few
years the average Of a flock Of breed
ing ewes may go down to sixty pounds.
Good lambs are the progeny only of
mature sheep. And If one is DESTROYS
of preparing some show animals he
should breed four-year-old sheep on
both sides. A sheep is really in its
prime at five years naturally, this being
an average of two-thirds or half its use
