A Word For the siIo.


There are about 6,50O,O0O turkeys
produced each year in the United
States, and the price ranges from IL to
20 cents pound at wholesale. The
demand is usually much greater than
the supply. AS turkeys can be pro
duced at a maximum cost of 8 cents
a pound, there is no reason why they
should not be raised more extensively.
There Is no flesh on the farm that will
show greater profit. Farmers living
In the vicinity Of towns can readily
dispose Of their entire crop to private
customers at retail prices and need not
depend on shippers or middlemen at
all. As In all stock breeding. the great.
est profit comes from disposing of the
fatted product as early as possible.
For this reason and because the birds
fatten more readily In warm than in
very cold weather the greatest profit
comes from marketing at Thanksgiv.

Cattle Feeding Tests,

The Pennsylvania experiment sta.
ton has now made three tests in fat.
tening steers In barns and outside
with shed to run to. The first two ex.
periments were vitiated by muddy feed
lots, and the results were in favor OF
barn feeding. The third experiment
was made with dry feed lot and
showed q very slight advantage III
feeding outside. Professor MARS says
1.-THE indications are that it is much
more important to keep steers dry
than to keep them warm and that
whatever advantage barn feeding may
possess over outside feeding results
not from the warmer but from the
drier quarters" This Is In line with
other experiments and with the expert
ence Of careful feeders. National

That an extra supply OF nutritious

That an extra supply OF nutritious

Don't feed the calves from the trough
at the same time. Calves, like men,
do not all drink ut the same speed,
One will gulp down three times as fast
as another when all are fed together.
One gets three times as much as he
should, while another gets only half as
much as he needs. This isn't all. The
calf that gets the small allowance
goes hungry, yet is more fortunate
than the one that gets too much, for he
is blessed with good digestion, while
the other suffers with the stomach
ache, and is Inconvenience with a bal

Study of Horse

The Importance of the horses physi.

Will here add that one may not be
surprised to see these remarks combat
ed by really good horse judges who un-
consciously recognize horses disposi-
ton from these characteristics, but
who have not thought to analyze the
physiognomy and be able to explain
why they never miss their estimate of
AoTSe disposition.
The width Of horses head across

The width Of horses head between

The depth or distance Of the eye be-

A full forehead from ear to eye and
an equal distance below the eye meas

SELOS AND SILAGE

There are several points that must
be closely observed in making sllage II
1t Is to be well preserved, and the
neglect of any one Of these will make,
In the final result, the difference be-
tween success and failure. These es-
sentials are close packing when the
crop Is at the proper stage Of ma
turity In an air tight structure having
perfectly rigid walls. II the sides of
the silo are not air tight the air which
passes through will cause the silage
to spoil, and if the walls are not per-
fectly rigid the pressure Of the silage
Will cause them to spring out, allow
Ing the air to enter between the silage
and the wall. In either case the re-
suit will be the same-decayed silage.
Bulletin Illinois Experiment Station.
The Size Of siIos.
Not more than eight square feet of
surface should be allowed for each
COW In winter; then, when feeding for
ty pounds Of silage per COW, a layer
about one and half inches deep would
be fed of daily. When silage Is fed in
summer 1t Is advisable that the ex-
posed area be not over half this size,
so that layer three inches deep may
be used daily. However much stock
Is to be fed, a silo twenty to twenty
two feet In diameter Is as large as
should be built. If a silo is Of greater
diameter than this, much of the silage
Is at too great distance from the door,
Increasing the labor Of removal.
Amount of silase Per Cow.
The number Of tons Of silage needed
can readily be estimated from the size
of the herd and the amount to be fed
daily. Even where 1t is desired to feed
as much silage as possible not more
than forty pounds per cow should be
fed daily. Silage Will usually be need
ed about 200 days. Each COW should
have an allowance then Of 200 times
forty pounds, which Is 5000 pounds
of sllage, or four tons per COW for the
year. A herd Of ten cows will require
silo holding forty tons; a herd of
thirty cows 120 tons; fifty cows 200
tons; hundred cows 400 tons.
A Word For the siIo.
A Tennessee farmer writing In
Hoard's Dairyman says of the silo: II
want to urge my brother dairymen,
especially small ones like myself, who
are In the business not for glory, but
for the actual living there IL In the
business. to no longer neglect the sllo,
but build and fill this fall without fall
and they will never regret It."

NO COLOR LINE WAS DRAWN
Negro Delegates from Mississippi Sat
in the Meeting OF the Southern
Cotton Association.

At the recent meeting of the South
ern Cotton Association there was
present a delegation of negro cotton
growers from Kinds county, Miss,
and in explanation of their presence
the secretary of the Mississippi divis-
ion said: eve do not have any sep
arate organization for the negro Is Of
our state. We must have every negro
farmer enrolled under our banner, and
we want cooperation such that sepa-
rate associations for negroes would
not answer our purpose. Therefore
the negro branches have all been dis
continued and the white and cOlOred
farmers belong to the same Organiza-
tons"
That's Mississippi, mind you The
delegates were well-dressed men, and
were shown by the convention every
consideration. In this great move
ment to secure good price for cotton
the farmers of the south, whether white
or black, are working together in alb
sOlute harmony and no color line is
drawn.
1t is another demonstration of the
fact that here in the south negroes
have every property right, and that
they have as much opportunity to gain
wealth as the white man. The indus
trlous negro is always respected, and
that which he earns is not only his
own, but he is not interfered with in
the earning. No such opportunity is
accorded hum in the northern states.
The good relations between whites
and blacks in every commercial and
industrial line are fully established
