Economy Of Ensilare.

Ensilage cannot be made of immature
green goods. If SO it will be lacking in
quality. Several years ago many Of
our most progressive farmers, as well
as some Of the scientific investigators.
violently attacked ensilage, claiming
that it added nothing to the available
supply of food in winter, that it was
also lacking in nutriment. and came out
Of the silo in an acid condition. That
there were good grounds for this oppo.
sition is now made apparent, as the
causes of failure have been discovered.
but that ensi!age is now considered an
indispensable article on the dairy or
stock farms is no longer denied by any
one. 1t has forced its way to the
front wherever dairying exists. and
with our cheap corn fodder, which
gives the American farmer an advan.
tage. the failure to use ensilage is to
sacrifice opportunities. The mistake
made by those who first built silos and
stored green fodder therein was in sun.

rial contained an excess Of water IN
its composition, and was lacking in
food elements. Its keeping quality was
also deficient, and though highly rel.

unsatisfactory as ensilage. It is o
known that the only proper method of
securing ensilage from the corn plant
is to grow it in rows, SO as I'd cultivate
it until it produces ears. 1t isl cut when

Tobacco in the Antarctic.

A singular phenomenon of the Ant.
artic region is reported by those who
left the Discovery last March and
sailed to New Zealand on the relief
ship Morning. The ~bluejackets, each
Of whom received a pound Of tobacco
each month, found themselves prac-
tically unable to smoke in the open.
In that pure air, it seems, tobacco does
not smell at all like tobacco, even to
the man who is smoking it. 1t smells
like burning rags" SO that at first
the smoker suspects that his clothing
is on fire: and the sensations on the
palate are described as highly disagree
able. However, the pipe had all its
accustomed qualities when INDUCED
in below deck, and eve a few draws
were appreciated at night in the tent
on a sledye tourney.

Cows and Poultry.


The writer is acquainted with a wom-
an who has a place Of four acres from
which she gets most OF the living fe on 9
COW and about 100 fowls, the number
varying with the season. In addition,
strawberries are raised for the market;
the rest Of the place is given over to
raising what vegetables are needed for
family use. Naturally, on such a area
food cannot be raised Tor the cow and
poultry, but for a small sum she OBJ
tafns summer pasture for the cow, but
pays full price for the food consumed
by 1t in the winter. The animal is not
as highly fed as she could wish, but as
it is kept mainly for its value to the
poultry this is not a serious drawback.
Aside from the milk used in the family
all Of the product of the cow is fed to
the poultry. Twice a week the fowls
are given all the sour milk they will eat
or drink, and on other days the milk is
used in place Of water for mixing the
mashes given the fowls. This woman
has kept a careful record Of results and,
comparing them with the one year she
was without a cow, has found that if
all Of the milk had been used for the
fowls and the supply for the family
bought, the COW would still be a profit
able investment. This is but one Of
the many cases where it has been
proved that milk forces the hens to
turn out eggs at a rate that pays. On
every farm there are quarts of milk
thrown away that if fed to the fowls
before it became rancid would increase
the egg production and be a source Of
large profit. Try it. - indianapolis
