silace Profitable for Cows.

'~SS 'S''NSb'S IS' SS"os
The prevailing high prices of grain
feeds in the face of very moderate
prices for dairy products have reduced
the dairyman's profit to the point
where il is question with him wheth.
er he can make the cows pay for the
large grain ration he has been ac-
customed to feed. If he can dispense
with half the grain he has been feed
ing without materially reducing his
production of milk, and butter fat, his
chances for profits have increased.
"To determine what effect the feed
ing of more silage than is usually fed
by dairymen, with a corresponding re-
duction in the grain portion of the ra-
tion, might have upon the production
of milk, butter fat, gain in live weight
cost of the ration and consequent pro
mt, the Ohio station conducting during
the winter and spring of 1904 an ex-
pertinent with ten dairy cows.
The plan of the experiment was to
compare two rations carrying practi-
cally the same amount of dry matter.
In one over so percent this dry mat
ter was derived from silage and less
than IS percent from grain. In the
other 81 percent of the dry matter was
derived from grain, no siage being
fed.
The silage used was a mixture of
one ton of soy beans and COW peas to
two and one-half tons of silage corn.
The silage as fed contained 1853 per-
cent dry matter, 2.36 percent protein,
4.GS percent crude fibre, 0.92 percent
fat and 1856 percent of nitrogen free
extract.
THE cows fed the silage produced
96.7 pounds of milk and sos pounds
of butter fat per hundred pounds of
dry matter; those fed the grain ration
produced S1.3 pounds of milk and 3.9
pounds of butter fat
THE cost of feed per hundred
pounds of milk was $0.6S7 with silage
and $1.O55 with grain ration. The
cost OF feed per pound of butter fat
was 13.1 cents with silage and 221
cents with the grain ration. Upon the
conclusion of the experiment each lot
of COWS was found to have gained in
live weight: Silage fed, AZ pounds
her head, and grain fed, 81 pounds
per head.
The facts reported seem to justify
the conclusion that silage can be made
to take the place of a considerable
portion of the grain ration. Ohio

| man problem than there should be.
In the first place, there are men on
both sides that are not satisfied with
justice.
The hired man should be satisfied to
do just what is right and his employer
should be satisfied if he gets just ser.
vice from his man. Then if each can
encourage the other to do little better
in cases of emergencies both should be
satisfied. But the hired man who has
to spend his time in town until a late
hour for three or four nights in the
week and has to have several lost
days in a month will be in very poor
shape to give his employer satisfaction.
On the other hand. the farmer that
wants his man to work from four
O'Clock in the morning till eight or nine
at night with only time to eat his three
meals per day should not have any
help. was hired man way back in

chanic as well as a farmer. ana |
know there is a great difference in
men on both sides.
Last summer let my slxteen-year-
old boy work out eight months. and as
it was his first season away from home
he probably did about as other young
men in his work, but he only had three
days lost time-on one of these days
he was sick.
He saved and brought to me $50 to
pay on small farm which he will
have clear of debt in four years more
when he is twenty-one years old, if he
does right the next four years. Hired
men could save good money If they
would. They do not realize what the
small sum of $50 per year will amount
to in forty years at six per cent. com.
pound interest. keeping the interest
and principal working together and
adding each year another $50. But it
would buy good farm home of 100
acres at $50 per acre, stock it with
fifteen good cows, two or three good
horses and all necessary farm ma
chinery.
There are thousands of men who
have been throwing away the $50 per
year for the last forty years that now
would be glad to have forty acres and
a common team and two or three cows.

Improving the Corn Crop.


The testing of seed corn is very i'm
portant and no farmer should plant
seed of doubtful terminating quality.
Good seed should give test of ninety
hVe per cent. or above and show Wig
orous termination. When purchasing
seed corn, the farmer should insist on
Its being shipped in the ear. 1t may
be difficult to get it from our seedsrnen
at this time, but they must be educated
to the fact that the scoop-shovel
method of selecting seed corn is not
the method desired by farmers. Prac-
tically all the seed corn will soon be
put on the market in the ear. as the
time has arrived when the corn grow
ers will insist on having their seed corn
shipped in this way.
The greatest immediate Improvement
in the corn crop will probably be
brought about by grading up promising
varieties already grown within our
State. BY testing other varieties that
seem especially adapted to our soil and
climate, we nay secure some standard
varieties that will be of great value
to onr farmers few years hence.
The greatest advancement in corr
growing in other States has been
brought about by the individual farmer
planting from year to year the same
variety of corn and practicing right
selection of seed ears. 1t seems adj
visable for the farmer to have Il Dor
tinn of tho Enl1 e., l,;
This may be one of several acres, but
must be that portion where extra care
has been exercised in the selection of
seed. From time to time during the
growing period, the farmer should
carefully study the plants of this por-
tion of the field, remove or detassel
the barren stalks, and note the uni
formity of stand and character of the
plants in general. At the time the
husks begin TO turn yellow, if the
farmer will occasionally go through his
seed patch. and by tying string
around each ear he desires he can
select ears of early maturity and at
the same time study the character of
the stalk ana mark ears only that grow
upon vigorous stalks with medium
shanks and having other desirable
characteristics. He may desire to grow
good fodder corn, as well as grain
producing corn, hence should pay con-
siderable attention to the leafiness of
the plant. Some farmers make a mis-
take by going into the field and picking
the early ears and retaining them for
seed. The ear should merely be
marked and then left until fully
ripened. 1t can then be distinguished
from the other ears by the string pre-
viously tied to it.
By selecting each year from our seed
patch one or two hundred ears in. this |
supplemented by the test for
and high oil and protein |
content we will have valuable corn for |
our seed patch the following year. The |
corn for the general crop should be |
also selected from that portion of the |
field that has been planned with this
selected seed, but we do not :
need TO spend so much time on the Sc
lection of that seed as on that which
we desire to plant for our special seed

Corn Silace.

A dairyman who has long fed corn
silage says: Corn silage is nothing
more or less than canned corn, and
it is better than corn stover for the
same reason that canned fruit is bet
ter than dried. The farmer who has
built good slo and filed it properly
never says that silage is not a good
feed, but on the contrary, he cannot
say too much in its favor. He finds
in the spring that his silage fed cat.

Quay on the Gentleman Farmer.

The late Senator Quay among his
other varied pursuits, was somewhat
of an agriculturist One day there
was a discussion between several of
his colleagues regarding the definition
of gentleman farmer. Some con-
tended that a farmer was a farmer,
and the matter of his wealth could
make no difference in the name.
Presently one Of the speakers ap-
pealed to Quay, and asked him If he
would define the difference between
the ordinary farmer and a gentleman
farmer. The Senator thought for a
minute, and said: There's this diff
ference between the two: One eats
what he cannot sell, and the other
sells what he cannot at."-Harper's

Long Island road the other day.

The dog was nosing around the
bushes, and Just as he started to
cross the road the motor car hit him
amidships, and doggie gave up the
ghost straightway.
Mr.. Vanderbilt stopped the ma
chine and, taking out his wallet, gave
the man a $50 bill, remarking:

Blocking the Road,

II is important to bear in mind that
highways are dedicated for the pur-
pose of travel only, and anybody that
interferes and obstructs travel on the
highway throughout its whole width,
from The line on one side to the line
on the other. who is not himself a
traveller, is wrongdoer, per Sc, and
in case of accident resulting in dam
age, he is not only barred from re-
covering for his damage because of
his wrong-doing, but he is liable to
respond in damage to the other. I'm
der this head may be cited the usual
habit of some people of leaving their
wagon, pile of wood, their hay hook.
or other truck on the side of the
road.
Another instance under this head
that might be mentioned is the case
where teamster drives his team up
to a hitching post on the aide of the
street, ties them to q post and goes
away and leaves them. At that mo.
ment he ceases to be a traveller and
is obstructing the highway. Have
not right, you will ask, to hitch my
team to post and go away and leave
them? would answer, certainly you
have, only you must beware of him
dering travel, the road was made to
travel on and If travellers can get by
you by ordinary diligence, they, nor
anyone else. have right to coplain.

Celery in the Garden.

Celery is an important crop for the
home garden, as it occupies ground
upon which some earlier crop has al
ready matured. 1t can follow peas or
spinach, for instance. 1t likes nitro
gen in abundance and so does particu-
larly well as a second crop on the
ground previously occupied by peas,
which leave nitrogen in the SOIL

the doors on hinges at top, so they can
swing either in or out, so that the doors
will always remain closed and pigs can

are required to be kept open all the
time they can be hung up by wire to

the feed alley it can be used for

such it may be closed by having trap
