This Beats Alfalfa.

Alfalfa has been proclaimed far and

costly fertilizer being drawn from the
air by nature through the agency OF

Alfalfa may be we'll enough in its
way but a Niagara Falls scientist

mosphere in an off-hand, lavish man
ner calculated to retire all the legumes

hot sun and rains in the course of

tains a loss in it's feeding value of
from 80 to 60 per cent. Likewise,
with other crops. 1t would seem that
cur only avenue of escape from these
great losses lies through the use of the
silo, where the maximum loss need
not exceed ten per cent, and from
that to practically nothing. The cows
eat the silage, in preference to the
best of hay, and it is a wonderful aid
in the securing and maintaining a
large flow of milk, with comparative
ly small outlay for ground feed.

Glover as a Fertilizer.

Bulletin 40 from the Central Expert
ment Farm, Ottawa, Canada, by Prof.
Frank T. Shut, discusses the value
derived from growing and blowing I'M
der of clover crops, the experiments
conducted at this station covers per-
iod of eight years, and contains con-
siderable data of practical import
ance. The advantages derived from
ploughing under of clover is briefly
stated as follows:
1. There is an enrichment of the
soil by the addition Of nitrogen OBJ
tanned from the atmosphere.
2. There is an increase to the store
of available mineral plant food (phos-
phoric acid. potash and lime) in the
surface of the soil taken by the clover
in part from depths not reacher by the
shallower root systems of other farm
sorps.
8. There is large addition Of hui
mus, whereby the soil is made more
retentive of moisture, warmer and bet
ter aerated, conditions favourable to
vigorous crop growth. Humus also
furnishes the material best adapted
for the development of those forms OF
germ life that act SO beneficially in
the soil.
4. AS an agent for deepening and
mellowing soils, no crop gives such
satisfactory results as clover.
5. Glover also serves a useful pur-
pose as catch crop during the au-
tumn months, when the ground would
be otherwise bare, retaining fertlllz-
ing material brought down by the
rain, and also that formed in the
soil during the summer months, much
of which would otherwise be lost
through the laching action of rains.
6. AS shown conclusively by the
particulars we have submitted, OBJ
tanned by careful experiment over
number of years with the more i'm
portant farm crops, the ploughing I'M
der of green clover has a most marked
effect in increasing the soils product
iveness.

The Silo Is Coming.

recent meeting at Kent, of the State
Dairyman's Association, for the first
time in the history of the Association
seemed to evoke general interest.
1t is evidence of the thought and
study of the dairymen along their
line of work beginning to blossom.
Soon will come the full bloom, and
then the fruit. While as a general rule
"go slow" is good advice to follow in
such matters, when it once becomes
sufficiently demonstrated that the silo
has a place in the dairymans bust
ness, that cannot proftably be dispens
ed with. then further delay is unjus-
tifable. 1t is the writer's opinion,
based upon his personal experience,
that there is no other improvement
the dairymen can make that will bring
in such satisfactory and beneficial
results.
There, however, are sundry prob
ing that it will take time to solve. For
instance: Which is to become our
great silo crop, and which will stand
second on the list, and so on? Shall
the silo be built high, medium or low,
or of great or small diameter? Which
shall prove to be the best method of
filling, and for best results ought the
material to be cut fine? Which stage
of maturity ought the material to be
harvested for best results? And, no
doubt, many other questions will pre-
sent themselves for solution during
our progress under such new system.
But these questions ought not to de-
lay the general endorsement OF the
silo. Our dairymen are fully capable
of coping with the proposition and OF
solving these several questions. We
have already learned that the East
ern siloist can assist us but little, ow-
ing to changed conditions. He con-
siders corn solely as the silage crop,
whereas corn with us has not made
good silage. At our Kent meeting the
only outspoken opponent of the silo
was a gentleman who had tried corn
in the silo on his farm in the White
River valley. When corn fails to make
good silage there is reason for such
failure. In this case there was ample
evidence furnished by those who have
visited this silo, that the structure
was not air tight; also that the corn
was too immature, since the juices es-
Gaping from the silo had killed the
vegetation for a distance of several
rods about DR.. Henry of Wisconsin,
than whom there is probably no higher
authority on the subject, says that
"silage from immature corn is sour
and of low feeding value" also that
many of the adverse reports on silage
are due to the use of immature, watery
corn plants" The structures that ap-
ply in the East, no doubt, will equally
apply to the silage plants in Washing
ton. The same authority also says
that cred clover stands next to corn
for silage purposes" With us, the
supremacy probably lies between red
clover and peas and oats. 1t is clear to
be seen that the dairyman's interest
lies in adopting such method In secur-
ing his crops as will result in the
least possible loss and damage there
to. It has been fully demonstrated
