The proper time TO cut silage is when
the husks on the most forward ears be-
gin to urn brown and the first three
or four blades at the base of the stalks
are dead. or the best time is about ten
days before the corn is ready for the
shock, says a correspondent of Farm
er's Advocate. The way to pack is to
have the stalks, leaves and ears well
mixed together in the silo and the
sides of the silage much higher than
the middle while the silo is being filed.
In other words, reverse the rule OF
stacking. keeping the outside full ia-
stead Of the middle, so that when the
mass settles ii will have a tendency to
settle outward, which will insure its
packing closely against the sides. In
packing all Of the tramping should be
done at the sides. Walk around the
wall with back against the wall and
tread well.

The Beef Cow In the Dairy.

1t seems to be clearly established
that any one cannot afford to use a
grade or a scrub sire In raising any
kind of stock, and we believe II is just
as much a fact that no dairyman can
afford to use anything except a full
blood sire of one Of the special dairy
breeds. 1t seems curious that many
dairymen will stick SO persistently 70
the beefy COW that makes little or NO
profit and is sometimes kept at a loss
just because her can sells better and
she will bring more at the block when
she fails at the pail, as she surely will
in a few years at most. A good dairy
bred COW will bring more clear profit
every year than an average grade
steer Is worth at two years old. and
besides she will last about twice as
long as the beefy cow.-Cor. Hoard's
