WILL YOU BUILD A sILo?

Ten years ago It would have been
somewhat risky to advise that man
with as few as a dozen cows build a
silo, but as builders have learned
more about the construction of silo
the cost has been materially reduc-
ed, notwithstanding the increase in
the cost of lumber. 1t is not within
the province of this department to
give the names of silo builders, but
they are easily obtainable from adver-
tisements in various agricultural pa
pers or by inquiry to the experiment
station of your state.
That the silo Is one of the most
economical ways of preserving food
for cows is well known and frequent
ly one can find a structure in the
neighborhood which he can copy with
a few instructions il he is handy with
tools, for they are not difficult to
build. The silo does away with much
of the disagreeable work of corn har-
vesting and furnishes food for the
cows as good as the green food in
the shape of steamed clover that is
so valuable for poultry. II you can
find any farmer within reasonable dis.
lance of you who owns a silo 1t will
pay to visit and talk with him.-In'
dianapolis News.

wHIMs OF THE MARKET.

It is well enough to know good
ve.setabie when you see 1t, and to try
to haze the best Of everything. II
is well to have high ideals. But they
do not always uay What the market
gardener wants Is rash for his pro
ducts, and to get that he must fur
nish what the customer wants and Ii
willing to pay the most money for.
Almost each market has It's particular
whims and vagaries Or at times we
meet with particular customers who
have particular and possibly peculiar
whims and notions about what they
want. We must try to conform to
such notions no matter II we think
that they are peculiar and that we
have much better things than such
notional customer calls for.

Commercial Review

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Recent mild weather might have been
expected to retard business, but freight
blockades and several similar conditions
testify to the contrary, and the last half
of the week brought seasonable fall in
temperature.
Higher rates for money tend to pre-
vent excuses in Wall street, yet there
is no difficulty in securing funds for
mercantile undertakings. AT some cities
fall trade has become more quiet, first
necessities being covered, but supple
mentary orders are confidently awaited,
especially in dry goods, of which stocks
are not burdensome at any point. The
first interest in holiday trade is noted,
and this element promises to supply I'M
precedented business this year.
Crops were not seriously injured by
the frost, and such small percentage
of the years yield still remains exposed
to danger that agricultural results may
be summed up as most favorable. 1t is
to be hoped that large crops will restore
liberal exports, which have made very
poor comparisons of late.
Failures this week numbered PA in
the United States, compared with 2oS a
year ago, and IS in Canada, against "a
last year.
Bradstreet's says:
Wheat, including flour exports for the
week ending October I2 are 2,774462
bushels, against Io72,o42 last week,
I,3s7,I75 this week last year, 2,S65,oIo in
1908 and 5,24o,o88 in 1902 Corn exports
for the week are o62,474 bushels, against
I,IS6, 3S8 last week, S57,5I7 a year ago,
I,4Io4I2 in 1908 and I8o,674 in 1902.

FARM NOTES.

Good young sheep should always
command a market, but such stock
should not be sold off the farm.
Length of staple is often begotten
at the expense of fineness and this
should always be avoided.
In investing in sheep to form a
flock purchase none but f1rst-class ami
mails, healthy and vigorous.
Field peas make an excellent feed
for all kinds of stock and especially
for sheep.
II you have on hand considerable
number of good growing young birds,
1t will be well to pay particular at
tention to housing them during the
fall months.
The coop should be closed tight to
keep out rats or weasels. If these
animals exist in the neighborhood the
chickens must be protected, but not
by closing them in air tight.
Place a good-sized piece of wire
screen over the front of the coop to
admit fresh air.
Some poultry raisers clean out a
good many of the old birds in mid
summer, and in this way make room
for the chickens. If this is done and
the young birds are then allowed to
go on the roosts, nail board four
or six inches in width the whole
length of the perch. This will pre-
vent crooked breastbones which are
likely to result from roosting on mar
row perches or poles.
The pig pen should be dry and
clean. 1t is well to have two pens
-one for feeding and one for sleep
ing. In this way one pen is always
kept dry and clean, as the droppings
will be left in the other pen; clean
daily.
The pigs should be gotten out on
the ground as soon as possible, so
that they will not become inactive or
deformed The feed should be in
creased gradually. Foods rich in pro-
tein should be used, such as oats, bar
ley, etc.
AS the pigs grow older little corn
may be added to the ration, 1t Is
often we'll to scatter some shelled
corn on the floor of the pen SO that
the SOW will take exercise in picking
up the grains.

WHITE spEcKs IN BUTTER.

Ouestion-Can you direct me to
where I can find articles on the sub
ject of Cause and Cure of White
Specks in Butter?
Answer-The cause of white specks
in butter is usually overripe cream
When cream sours too far before
churning, the curd in the cream Is
hardened by the continued souring
ana contracted into small white
snacks which may be retained in the
bptter II not remoss I'D by washing AS
a rule. butter of this sc-St Is more
commonly made in farm dairies 'hal
in creameries, because at the far
dairy, cream is collected for several
days and the first lot OF cream is like
" to he very sour before the mixture
of several days cream is churned.
This separates the curd and although
It is mixed quickly and thoroughly

the harder specks are apt TO be left
In the granular butter and not wash
ed out with the buttermlk
Butter made from cream containing
this kind of curd can be freed from
these white specks by washing the
granular butter In the following way:
When the butter breaks and the
granules are about the size of wheat
grains, draw of the buttermilk. then
All the churn about half full with cold
water. revolve it few times and let
churn stand until the granular butter
rises to the surface Of the water: the
curd being heavier than the butter,
