The Merits Of the small Thresher

If you are unwilling to go to the
trouble Of stacking, the sooner your
small grain is threshed the better.
For this there are several reasons.
Every day the grain stands in the
shock there is liability of injury
from bleaching, rain, wind and wild
fowls. The proper thing to do is to
run the grain through the machine
and get it to the elevator or granary
at the earliest possible moment.
This cannot always be done where
one depends upon the regular thresh-
ing outfit, which must come in rota-
ton; one is just as apt to be the
first as the last on the list. No mat
ter how willing the owner of the
outfit may be to please you, he must
take each farm in order. This year
it may be more important than usual
to get the threshing done early.
There may be profit in threshing
early and marketing before the full
flush Of the grain movement. AT
least the farmer could be ready to do
this in moment were the grain
ready and should conditions war
rant.
How can early threshing be ac-
complished? By getting one of the
small outfits now on the market and
doing your own work. 1t may not

for his own use exclusively, but sew.

a tiny reservation embracing only

South Carolina, on which are eighty
members of the tribe, lately visited
Raleigh, North Carolina, seeking in

Indians were, even after 100, a
powerful tribe and touched the

CORN s1LAGE.
In Milk Making and Steer Feeding
Midsummer Benefits.

Making corn into silage is means
Of preserving the grain, as well as
the stalk, in the best possible condi.
ton for feeding and without the ex.
pense of shelling and grinding, says
WILDER j. Fraser, chief in dairy hus.
bandry at the Illinois experiment
station In feeding whole corn,
either in the ear OF shelled, many of
the kernels are not digested. With
silage, the grains being eaten with
the roughage. nearly all the kernels
are broken during mastication, and
since they are somewhat soft, are
practically all digested.
BY the use Of the silo the corn is
removed from the field at a time
when no injury is done to the land
by cutting it up while soft. AS the
corn is cut before the blades are dry
enough to shatter, there is no waste
from weathering, and both stalk and
grain being in good condition the
whole crop is consumed by the stock,
while with dry shock corn d large
percentage Of the leaves and butts OF
the stalk is wasted.
Being a succulent feed, corn silage
tends to heavy milk production and
should be given an important place
in the ration Of dairy cows. 1t has
proved an important factor in steer
feeding as well as in milk produc-
ton, but a steer cannot be finished
on silage alone, any more than COW
can produce her best yield of milk
on such ration.
IN MIDSUMMER.
A pasture will carry much more
stock during spring, early summer
and fall than it will through the hot,
dry weather of midsummer. By help
ing the pasture out at this season
with partial soiling the cattle not
only have better feed during this
critical period, but more stock can
be carried on given area than by
pasturing alone.
Mr.. Fraser also remarks in bull
letin lOl, from which these points
on the silo are taken, that as land
increases in value and farming be-
comes more intensive there is greater
need for soiling, and the most satis-
factory method of providing sub
stitute is by means of the silo. 1t
requires too much labor to cut green
crops every day and haul them to
the COWS, and, besides, there is neces-
sarily a great loss in being obliged
to feed the crops before they are fully
matured and after they are overripe.
Mr.. Fraser concludes that no crop
furnishes more feed to the acre than
corn, and with the silo it can be
utilized for soiling, thus permitting
the whole crop to be harvested when
at tho right stage of maturity and
fed when needed, saving both feed
and labor,
