Silage and the Silo

King gives the following statements
in regard to building stone silos, says
Hoard's Dairyman:
1.-THE portion of the silo wall which
is below ground better be about two
feet thick and laid in cement rather
than lime, the cement being desirable
because lime mortar becomes hard so
very slowly in heavy walls, especially
below ground. After the wall is two
feet above ground good lime mortar
may be used, but in this case there
| ought to be at least two months for
the wall to season and set before fill
ing The upper portion of the silo
wall need not be heavier than eighteen
inches and if the size Of stone permits
of it the outer surface of the wall
may be drawn gradually to thick
ness Of twelve inches at the top"
PaIatabiIity of SiIage
Cows as well as other stock have a
wonderful liking for silage, and / be-
lieve much of the success in feeding
it can be attributed to its palatability,
said G. p Goodrich at Round Up insti-
tute, Eau Claire, Wis. They even pre-
| fer it, to certain extent at least, to
fresh cut forage or good grass in the
pastures / have seen cows in June,
when on good pastures, which had been
fed silage every day come to the gate
at o'clock in the afternoon and bel
low and ask to come to the barn and
get silage, which they would eat greed
| lily and with apparently great relish. /
have seen the experiment made of of
fering cows at the same time corn cut
fresh from the field and silage that
was put up the year before. Every
COW chose the silage and ate that first.
Feeding SiIage to Cows.
Most cows will like silage the first
time they taste it; few will mince at
it for few feeds, but for a few feeds
only 1t is best not to feed too heavily
to COW just learning to eat it. have
had cows eat greedily Of it the first few
feeds and then become turned against
| it, but little bit in their trough for
few feeds and they are all right again
For COW, though. which is used to it
nothing under eighteen or twenty
pounds to a feed will gorge her.-J. B.
butcher In Farmers Guide.
Sowing Corn For SiIage.
How thick to plant corn for silage
| depends somewhat on local conditions,
says Hoard's Dairyman Professor
Hacker of Minnesota sows about thir-
| ty quarts of corn per acre, and no ears
develop when sown so thickly. Mr..
Gurler of De Kalb, Ill, sows in rows
twelve quarts Of seed per acre, and
fair sized ears Of corn develop. It is a
rule of many dairylnen to sow twice
as much seed for sIlage as they do
when they wish to have ears develop.
About eight quarts of seed per acre ere
usually sown for silage purposes.

THE COW AT CALMING TIME
Essentials That Must Not he over
looked by the Herdsman.

AS the time of calying approaches
consideration must be given to the
place where the animal is to be when
calving. A clean, well lighted box
stall is the most desirable. The animal
should be put in there some days be-
fore in order to have her become ac-
austomed to her surroundings. This,
too, gives the herdsman a chance to
notice the condition of the droppings
and find out whether the bowels need
loosening. If they do, dose Of salts
should be given. Use about one pound
of Glauber's salts and one ounce of
ginger.
If heifer with first calf, her udder
should be rubbed and the teats worked
gently, SO as to have her accustomed
to the idea of being MIXED. Exercise
should not be neglected, and it is much
better for a COW to be running out of
doors in the bright sunshine than to be
shut up in close STALL Fresh air and
exercise are powerful aids to a healthy
condition.
AS the day of calving approaches see
that the stall is bedded with good,
clean straw. Let no droppings or urine
soaked straw remain there longer than
necessary. 1t is very desirable, too,
that the hind quarters of the COW, in
Guiding the yulva, be kept as clean as
possible.
The cow will, if she is in good,
healthy condition generally clean, that
is-pass the afterbirth soon after calv-
ing. If she does not, do not be in a
hurry to remove it. A weight may be
tied to the part protruding from the
vulva, and the constant bearing down
will aid in bringing it away. If it does
not come away within forty EIGHT
hours consult a veterinarian, unless
you are thoroughly familiar with the
internal anatomy of the uterus. Dam
age may be done to the generative or
gans and the animal made nonbreed-
er by the misdeeds of an ignorant op-
orator.
The COW should be given water, but
it should not be too cold. A large
amount of cold water may cause an
animal not to clean as rapidly as it
otherwise would. A good way to sup
ply the water is through succulent
feed, as by grass or roots and by slop-
ping the grain. A slop of bran and
flaxseed meal is cooling and at the
same time has laxative effect. Be
sure that the bowels are working free
". If there is the slightest tendency to
constipation give some gentle laxative
Salts are probably the handiest and
are quite effective.
Feeding should be done judiciously
To crowd the animal with food during
the first week is most undesirable. Get
her off her feed during the early period,
and you will have more or less trouble
during the whole period of lactation.
Commence slowly and increase gradu-
ally as you see she responds through
the milk pail. Better to have her lit
tie hungry than to have her appetite
clogged. Cultivator

OF course it is important to have three
good stalks of corn in each hill, but if
the land is so poor that it can only pro
duce one ear to the hill there will be
two barren stalks, which are just as

spring get it near home. Acclimated
corn will always yield more than i'm
