In Favor Of silage.

There are several good points In
favor OF silage as q iced for dairy
cows, and these shoul4 not be over.
looked when the farmer is debating
what kind of feed he will use. Its
digestibility is increased by the fer
mentation 1t undergoes, and by some
scientists this increased digestibility
is placed at about 20 per cent. With
silage more bulk of feed can be
raised to the acre than in any other
way. Nearly any kind of corn can be
raised for silage and shorter season
will bring 1t to the Safeguarding
stage than to the grain-producing
stage. 1t can be harvested in wet
weather and moisture does not harm
it, which is not the case with corn
that is being raised for fodder. AS a
plant to grow it is not expensive and
our farmers all know how to harvest
it. Tho feed that comes out of the
silo Is as succulent as the COW ever
gets and she will do as well on 1t as
on the best bluegrass pasture that
can be grown. Some feeders say that
their cows do better on silage than
on blue grass pasture. Silage can be
used as soiling crop as well as a
winter feeding crop. This is a great
advantage when farmer has enough
to last him over winter and into the
summer season. There Is one thing
that should not be lost sight of In re-
gard to silage and that is that 1t can
be carried over from zoe year to an
other and its life caa be extended
through a number Of years. This is
not true of fodder, for In the course
of time it deteriorates, though 1t NAV
be bright and good throughout the
first winter. None of our farmers
would think of keeping fodder for
two or three years and feeding 1t to
their cows. The keeping quality OF
silage makes it impossible to make the
abundance of one year balance the
deficiency in another. Silage is very
convenient to use in feeding, probably
more SO than any other kind of rough
feed It's use makes it possible to
greatly increase the stock carrying
capacity of the farm. - =.

Pasturase Not Enough for Fatsenins
Sheep.


Sheep.
The attempt has a good many times
been made of giving sheep nothing
but pasturage when they were being
prepared for market! If this is ever
successful it is under exceptional con-
ditions. The well-finished sheep has
to have something more than half
flesh. This is the more the case as
this fattening has to be done in the
fall OF the year when pastures are
not at their best At the South Da-
kota station an experiment was made
to determine to what extent the sheep
would improve on pasturage in the
fall Of the year. The time of pastur-
ing was from September to Novem-
Der 2. Sixty ewes were used in the
experiment, and these were divided
into lots of ten ewes each. Each lot
was allowed to run on two acres .of
native prairie grass, but it was in I'm.
usually good condition, as it had not
been pastured for the entire season,
nor had it been cut for hay. OF the
six lots only one was fed entirely on
this native pasturage. The other lots
had some kind of grain in addition.
The trial would indicate what we
have said above that it is unadvisable
to attempt to fatten sheep without
grain. The lot that had no grain not
only did not increase in weight, but
lost over five pounds each in weight,
the loss for the ten being 81 pounds.
All the other lots made substantial
gains. This trial was only another
proof that it docs not pay to try to get
something for nothing. This pasture.
it may be noted, was much better
than is the average pasture on our
farms, as the sheep were really put
onto pasture where they could eat
in two months the pasturage that is
generally available during six.

Attack the Weeds in lime.

Ore OF the greatest mistakes made
in regard to weeds is TO permit them
to get a good start before attacking
them. Last week, in company with
a noted agricultural scientist, the
writer was passing a small farm in
which the stamp weeds were appear
ing here and there. The college man
made the remark that they could be

to grow and reseed themselves there

next year. The weeds were already
of good size, and there was no indica-
ton that the owner of the field real
lied their presence. The old saying,
"A stitch in time saves nine" will do
to revamp and apply to weeds. A few
minutes spent in their eradication
when they are first noticed will save
days of time the next year.

A woman is always pretending that
she never pretends.

There was once passage at arms
between Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the
eminent woman suffragist and Hor-
ace Greeley, on the occasion of a dis
course by the former on the right OF
women to the ballot. In the midst
of her talk, Greeley interposed, in his
high pitched, falsetto voice: What
would you do In time Of war IL you
had the suffrage" This seemed like
poser; but the lady had been be-
fore the public too long to be discon-
certed by an unexpected question, and
she promptly replied: Just what you
have done, Mr.. Greeley-stay at home
and urge others to go and fight"

INSPECTION of Milk Increases Its Use.

Inspection of Milk Increases Its Use.
In Rochester, N. Y, where about
$4,000 are expended annually for the
supervision of the milk supply, and a
few thousand milk samples are ex-
amined both chemically and bacteria
logically each year, the average daily
use of milk amounts to about eighty
three one hundredths pint per capita;
while in st. Louis, Mo-, where less
than $4,000 are expended annually for
the supervision of the milk supply
and only a few hundred samples OF
milk are examined chemically and
bacteriologically, and where it Is Of
ficially admitted that the milk regu-
lations are not well enforced, the
average daily use of milk amounts to
only about thirty-seven one.hun-
dredths pint per capita. Just and
weIl-enforced laws are not objection
able. They increase public confidence
in milk and thus increase the de-
mand for it. 1t would be well to add
here that by "well.enforced" we mean
enforcement by an officer who Is in
sympathy with all honest efforts to
improve the milk supply, and who
does not labor under the belief that
all persons engaged in producing or
handling milk are necessarily by ma.
ture law -breakers.-Prof.R II. A. Pear
