Value Of Corn st1age.

The Illinois experiment station is
strongly in favor of corn silage. and
puts in silo great amount of it every
year. Prof. Fraser of the station says
that our corn seems TO be the best
single crop for the silo. and by com
bining it with COW peas and soy beans
the feeding value is greater, ton for

corn ii fully tasseled it contains less
than onefourth as much dry matter

by cutting with a corn binder and us

ity to avoid the necessity of cutting

the leaves and heavier parts must be

Time to Make the CUTTINGS Now,

Few people realize how simple
matter it is to propagate ones own
grape vines, currants, gooseberries
and most ornamental shrubs. If the
work is properly done, these plants
may be readily propagated by means
of cuttings made late in autumn, after
the leaves are off the plants but pre-
ferably before cold weather comes on.
says the Indiana Farmer. Only well
rlpened mature wood that has grown
during the preceding summer should
be selected for the purpose, all soft
or immature parts being discarded.
The cuttings themselves should b.
made to 10 inches long, and the
base of each should be cut squarely
just below bud, so the bud is re
tanned at the lower end They should
be tied up in bundles of convenient
size, say 100 in bundle their butts,
or basal ends, all one way, we'll shaken
down so as to stand level on a fiat
table, They must then be packed in
fresh moist sawdust and be kept

lus pit. Upon the approach of spring,
as early as the soil can be worked,
and before the buds have begun to
grow on them, they should be planted
out in good garden soil. The rows
should be about four feet apart, to ad-
nit Of easy cultivation, and the cut
tings should be set very firmly in tn
soil, so as to leave no air spaces about
them, and set deep enough so on Y
the uppemost bud is above the
ground. They should then be Civ.

Gown all weeds during the summer,
when usually an excellent growth of
plants will be secured. Currants,
gooseberries, the Mariana and Coll

shrubs, Willows, poplars and sortn
other varieties of forest trees root
