MILK FROM SILAGE.
Quality of Dairy Products Not En-
danGered by This Feed.

dnngered by This Feed.
Considerable prejudice has existed
among some dairymen against silage,
due to the mistaken idea that it taints
the milk and butter writes a CORE
spondent of Farm PROCESS. 1t has been
proved conclusively both by official and
private experiments that such is not
the case.
Some years ago out of hundred ra-
tons compiled by the Wisconsin sta
ton sixty three of them contained en-
silage. When the silage was first used
some of 1t was spoiled in the handling.
This spoiled silage fed to some of the
cows tainted the milk This occurred
In 1895, but so widely was the report
circulated that the quality of milk was
endangered by the use of silage that
even today there are dairymen who are
still under this delusion.
The big diaries all over the country
now use ensilage. and a good many
feed 1t all the year round, because in
this way more stock can be kept on
the same area Of ground The best
milk and butter now on the market are
from cows that have been fed on
silage. There is no question that the
time will come when silage will be
considered an absolute necessity on
many farms.
AS land becomes more and mora
valuable feed will have to be grown
in cheaper way The chief value of
the silo is that it is possible always to
store large quantities of green food as
ensilage, while there are many failures
to dry the fodder properly in the field
There is nothing unusual or remark
able about silage as food. as some seem
to think.
1t differs from the original fresh
fodder chiefly in containing a certain
quantity of acid, which in the case of
corn has come from the fermentation
Of sugar in the original fodder.
The New York station carried on ex-
periments for many years with corn
ensilage. and the authorities give as
their general results that there was an
increase In milk flow accompanying
the use of corn silage in the ration and
at the same time an increase In the fat
produced.
At the relative price for foods milk
was generally produced at lower cost
and the cost of fat production was
lowered more when corn silage consti-
tuted part of the ration than when
many other rations were fed.
One hundred pounds Of ensilage con-
tain 1913 pounds of dry matter, Las
pounds Of digestible protein, Ills
pounds of digestible carbohydrates and
80 pound of fat and has a full value
of 26.210 calories.
Instead Of being injurious to dairy
cattle. there is strong evidence of the
fact that of all live stock these cattle
profit most from ration of ensilage,
no matter whether 1t is corn or some
other product. The rapid increase In
the popularity of the silo in the states
especially noted for the dairy industry

IN APRIL AND MAY.
Programme of chronological Prac-
tice For the Orchard.


BY II. A. GOSSARD. Ohio experiment
station.
The following programme for prac-
tice in entomology is designed to sug-
gest to the orchardist what enemies are
most apt to cause him trouble and what
to do in April and May to forestall
them:
For the Apple.
If bud worms or case borers are
present IN large numbers, spray with
arsenicals just before leaf buds burst.
Omit unless these insects are present.
For the two insects mentioned in
preceding paragraph make a second
spraying about week later than the
first. or just when the leaf buds begin
to show green at the tips.
Just before the blossoms open spray
with bordeaux, combined with an ar
semitic. for cankerworms, tent cater
pillars, plum curculio, scab, leaf spot.
etc. A very important application.
Just after the blossoms fall or while
they are falling repeat the foregoing
for codling moth, cankerworms, curcu-
Ito. tent caterpillars and fungous dis
eases. Very important against codling
moth.
About seven or ten days after the
last spraying directed In preceding
paragraph reSeat for the same troubles.
Examine trunks and large limbs for
borers and destroy all found. with
knife. probe or carbon bisulphide.
Fer the Peach.

with lime-sulphur wash. This will also
prevent leaf curl.

made Of old bags to retain the heat
vent freezing. If ensilage becomes fro
zen it should be thawed out with hot
water or taken up into the farm stable
Where only little is frozen around
the edges it will thaw out by moving
1t to the middle of the silo.-L. W.
Lightly.
Regularity Important.
Have fixed time to begin feeding
and milking both morning and evening
This is important. When cow ex-
poets her feed and doesn't get it, she is
restless and worried, and anything
which tends to annoy COW lessons her
milk production. Regularity is mex
pensive. Use lots Of it.
Use the Comb and Brush.
The use Of the comb and brush on
closely confined cows during the winter
Is of double value. 1t not only keeps
them clean and improves their appear
ance, but adds a great deal to their
comfort. Comfort has a high place in
milk production.
Milk Thoroughly.
The first of a cows milk drawn
tests from to 2 per cent, the last
from 6 to s per cent. See that the
milking is done thoroughly. Dishonest
milking not only results in a loss of
butter fat, but tends to dry the COW
up. Milking should be made no sec
ondary job.
The Care of the Calf.
Beginning with her career as dairy
calf, the sucking should be allowed to
take the first milk Of her mother (colos-
trum) because it contains six times as
much protein and twice as much ash as
normal milk, says Kimbalrs Dairy
Farmer This furnishes material for
muscle and bone, which she needs most
at that time. She should be given
whole milk for about two weeks and
then fed as much roughage as possible
to develop capacity. She should be
bred so as to calve from two to two
and half years of age, so as to avoid
the tendency Of laying on flesh.

DIR. Thompson Resigned.

After FIVE years faithful ser
vice, DR.. E. J. Thompson has
resigned as pastor of the Presby-
terrain church of Independence.
In consideration of his age and
rather frail health, the elders
have accepted the resignation.
While DR.. Thompson does not
contemplate taking mp work of a
pastorate again, he will continue
in the ministerial work, supply
ing churches as his health will
permit.
During DIR. Thompson's pas
toral charge, there have beeu 90
aceessions to the church. The
church is left with a membership
of rs and is in a healthy con-
dition generally. The church is
out of debt with a few dollars in
the building fund. The Ladies'
Aid Society has a fund of $50
ahead. The Home Missions con-
tributions the past year were
larger than ever before and the
Sunday school is fourishing.
DIR. E. J. Thompson is 70 years
old and his health has not been
good the past winter. He was
born in Ohio and educated at
Middlebury College, New Eng
land. He also attended the
Polytechnic Institute of New
York. For IS years he held
professorship in the University of
Minnesota. He has been in the
Presbyterian ministry IS years.
He preached in Salem from 80
to '86; at Corvallis from '86 to
1901 and since the latter date
has been the pastor at Independ-
ence. DR.. Thompson took part
in the organization of the seven
Minneapolis churches. He is
popular among the young people
and probably holds the record for
Oregon in the number of mar
riage ceremonies performed. To
date DR.. Thompson has united
1888 couples.-West Side Euter-
prise.
DR.. Thompson is deservedly
popular in this city where he
served so many years and so ably
filled the pulpit OF the Presby-
terian church. There are many
sincere friends in this city who
devoutly hope that his declining
years may be fruitful of naught
save perfect contentment aud the
best that earth can afford.

Painful Accident.

William McPhail, who is en-
ployed by Fl. D.. Blydenburgh in
his sheep camp, met with a dis.
agreeable accident last Saturday,
which gave him a badly scorched
face. He was cooking meat over
a camp fire on the eastern slope of
the Medicine Bow range, when
the grease in the pan took fire.
He attempted to throw it out,
when a sudden change of the wind
blew the flame into his face,
scorching it up pretty badly, the
left eye being entirely out of com
mission for the present. DIR. Price
thinks he will recover nicely in a
short time, as no very deep seated
burn took place at any point.

Secure Principal at Last.

The school board has had a
rather strenuous time securing a
principal for the Saratoga public
school. 1t was late before the
vacancy on the board was filed,
but as soon AS it was the active
work of selecting a man to preside
over the school the coming year
began in earnest. There were %
applications for the place. At
such a late day the danger in
selecting any one of the % was
that he had already secured a sit
uation, hence a first, second and
third choice was made. AS was
to be expected, No l was engaged,
but before this was ascertained
definitely a week had elapsed.
Then No. 2 was appealed to with
the same result.
At this time DIR. Frank H. III.
Roberts, of the Colorado Univer.
sity, appeared on the scene and
solved the problem by recon-.
mending w. w. Miller of Den
yer, who had just taken some posi-
graduate degrees and was in the
field for a position. AS Mr.. Mil
Ter is a man Of abundant exper.
ience, a college graduate and
otherwise qualified, his services
were secured Immediately.
