Feeding SiIage to Sheep.

Some sheep-growers are enthusias-
tic in their praises of corn silage as
food for sheep; on the other hand,
large number do not think so well
of it. All those who have tried it
have agreed with references to the
wisdom of feeding moderate guam
tity to the flock when the silage has
been properly cured. On the other
hand, quite a number have found
trouble from feeding 1t in large
quantities. On the whole, 1t is not
for sheep as field roots since more
especially when there Is much corn
in the silage it has tendency to
produce a heated condition of the
system, which with breeding ewes is
not desirable.
1t is not well, perhaps, to feed corn
silage to a breeding flock more than
once day, and when so fed the aim
should be to give them clover hay or
alfalfa at least onceSa day in order
to produce proper balance in the
ration. In cold weather it is prob
ably wiser to feed the silage at noon
than morning or night. When ex-
posed to such weather for only . few
minutes, the temperature as cool as
is frequently found in sheep sheds.
it will freeze more or less, or If 1t does
not freeze it becomes very cold. For
this reason it Is better to feed it in
the middle of the day in cold weather
for at that time the temperature is
usually many degrees warmer than
in the morning or evening.
1t is not common to feed more
than two to four pounds of silage per
head per day to sheep, but some
farmers who grow winter lambs feed
as much as that twice a day, more
especially after the lambs have been
born. A great advantage of silage
as a food for sheep consists in its
cheapness. 1t furnishes the cheapest
food that may be fed to them. and
when properly fed there should be no
fear of hurtful results from feeding
silage we'll made.

Filling the Silo.

Ensilage in order to keep well
must be free from water. 1t is well,
therefore, for it to be cut and
shocked few days beforehand. Dry
or half cured corn may be safely ST.
loed II water is added to it to make
moisture enough to start the fermen-
tation. Sometimes half dried corn
will make quite good ensllage with
out any water. The stalks usually
contain sufficient water at this stage
for the corn to cure itself, so that an
excess of water would tend to acidity.
The finer the corn is cut the better it
will pack, and 1t Is desirable to have
1t pack as closely as possible, as 1t is
carried in from the cutter by tread
ing. 1t should be tread, not only at
the sides, but in the middle, for much
more fodder can thus be got into the
silo. The object is to get the ensil-
age in as solid as possible SO as to
exclude the air. The best condition
of 1t, including absence of sourness,
depends on this solid packing. For
| merly 1t was customary to sprinkle
salt over the ensilage, as it was
packed down. but this is now known
to be unnecessary, IL not detriment.
Far more preferable II is to have two
men In the silo as 1t is filled to see
that the ensilage 10 spread evenly and
| tread down firmly. III the silo Ia
square the corners should certainly
be well tramped. When the recepta-
Gle has been filled to the lowest door
this should be fitted into its place
and perfectly sealed against the en-
trance OF air. A strip OF tarred roof
ing paper tackled over the joints of
the door helps to prevent the en-
trance OF air there as well as the es-
cape OF the carbonic acid gas In the
silo; by no means should this have a
chance to leak out, for II it does air
must OF necessity get in, whereupon
a new fermentation Will be started
and continuous mischief going ON
at each door. resulting In more or
less damage to the entire contents Of
the silo.---Fred o. sibley. Milford.

Squash bugs that pass the winter
as adults remain in the field until
nearly the end of July. The eggs
upon the leaves are more abundant
then than at any other time, early in
August the disappearance of the
adults becoming noticeable, freshly
laid eggs not being so numerous.
During August, however, the adults
of the new generation become abun-
dant, but do not lay eggs, hence
there Is but one brood of squash
bugs each year When autumn
frosts appear, some of the bugs are
still immature, and congregate upon
the unripe fruit, where they suck
the juices, many thus being able to
become adults during the mild au-
tumn days. In winter they are con-
cealed beneath fallen leaves, stones
logs, boards, ETC., remaining dormant
nltil the warm days of spring, and
fly to any squash plants that may be
up, finding their food, as IL seems
evident, by the sense of smell. A
number of bugs will congregate on O
leaf and cause 1t to dry up and this
dead portion may vary from prim.
rose gray to dark brownish-black
The bugs are generally present for
work as soon as the young plants ap'
pear. Later on in the stage oil
growth OF the squash plant the root
borer and fungus appear A sudden
willing and dropping OF the plant
characterizes the attack OF the roo
borer, which Is believed to be tbs
larva OF the striped beetle. Tn,
plant may be thrifty in the morning
and dead at night. When attacked
by fungus the leaves begin TO dry vi

on the leaves and the plant dies with
out whiting Many remedies hay'

consume them only when very hun
