hand had loosened sheet of paper
The two are quickly slipped together,
and with quick twist the paper is
wrapped around the fruit. So rapidly
do these men work that it takes up
little longer to wrap the fruit than
it would to put it in unwrapped. For
sale in the east, wrapped fruit is pre-
ferred. 1t gives a softer packing for
the fruit takes up slack space in
case Of shrinkage, helps to hold the
perfume of the apple and also pre-
vents decay, should this by any pos
sible chance appear in the box. Good
judgment is required in selecting and
wrapping fruit SO that the different
rows in the package may come out
even, and the last row go into the
box without too much tanning OF
crowding. 1t is also necessary to Sc
lect or turn the apples so as to make
a bulge or crown on the center of the
box, as in this way cover will fit
closely without smashing the fruit.
Honesty and uniformity should be
the motto hung up over every packing
table, for the apple at the middle or
bottom of the box should be just as
good as those on top, and every one
as good as the orchard can furnish.
With, the name of the packer on the
box, the number of apples therein and
the figure 81" when the fruit is under
colored, it is easy to trace mistakes
down to the individual, and dock him
if necessary. Where the overseer is
not critical, the packers are inclined
to work too fast, which makes faulty
packing. 1t is reported from some
places that packers have put up more
thai. leo boxes per day, yet very few
of them can do more than so and pack
well. Some of the boxes are labeled
where they are of the highest quality.
This is a good plan. We are told that
in Canada the following section is
found in the fruit law:
Every person who, by himself or
through the agency Of another person,
packs fruit in closed package, in
tended for sale, shall cause the pack

ly that hand cutting for fodder will
be done away with in the years to
come, at least on large farms.
After the corn is cut, a low rack,
with wagon, is very essential for haul
ing the corn, for corn in the green
state is extremely heavy and requires
much energy to load the same on high
wagons. The com having been hauled
from the field to the silo has still to
be reduced to fine, homogeneous
mass, convenient for feeding and eco
nomical as far as the utilization OF
the silage for feed Is concerned. In
or'ier to do this the whole of the corn
ears and all, may be run through the
ensilage cutter.
The corn is unloaded on a table
and run through the cutter, after
which it is carried through a tube by
means of blast of air, up into the
silo window, and is delivered into the
middle of the silo.
If corn is sliced ears and all, it is

THE BEST SHADE TREES.

Silver Naples and pop;ars.

During a severe storm in Washing
ton, D. c., this summer it is stated
that probably u thousand trees were
badly injured
The soft or silver maple, says Ar
Horticulture, suffered by far the great
est loss, while the Carolina poplar, or
cottonwood, was also badly broken.
Norway maple, sugar maple, ali the
oaks, oriental plane, or European
sycamore, honey locust, most of the
eoniferous trees and ginkgo, were
among those which were able to with
stand the beating and bending which
the storm caused for an hour or
two.
There are two trees, the silver
maple and the cottonwood, which are
more popular with the mass of tree
planters than all other shade trees of
America Both have one fatal quail
fication, that of rapid growth. Losing
sight of permanency and many more
excellent qualifications. these two in
ferior trees are planted to the eX-
clusion of all other trees.
Both these trees are short lived
worry much diseased, attacked by in
Vulnerable insects, while both are
seriously damaged by windstorms.
Both require much water, and send
their roots into sewers, wells and els
terms, which they frequently destroy.

the surface and tramp down the sides
and corners. If left by itself the
heavier pieces of corn will be thrown
each way and the light leaves and tops
will come closest to the discharge,
and as a result the corn will not set
tie evenly and the different layers of
ensilage will have a different feeding
value.
After the filling process, the cut
materials should be leveled off, and
the common and most successful prac-
tice is to keep the material higher at
the sides than in the center, and do
all the tramping at, and close to, the
sides, where the friction of the wall
tends to prevent as rapid settling as
reason, in the modern deep silO, no
tramping, or at least as little as pos
sible, should be done except close to
the walls. The weight of silage &C.
composites more than any amount Of
tramping, and all that is necessary is
to see that the silage is evenly dis
tributed and to assist in settling by
some tramping at the sides. -
After the silo is filled the silage is
left to settle. In the course of sew
eral weeks layer at the top, approx
imately foot deep, will begin to de-
cay and mould and seal the rest from
further decomposition. When feed
ing time comes this top layer is re-
moved to a depth sufficient to reach
pure silage. The silage in silo is
always more or less heated on account
of the Preventative process, hence the
top layer, which is cooled from one
feed to another. should be raked off
evenly AMI then fed.
Silage, the same as canned products,
should not be exposed to air for too
long a time. for decomposition takes
place very rapidly.
The principal lesson to be learned
from experiments is that the farmer
who would produce milk cheaply
should have alfalfa or clover hay and
a silo. combination of silage and
alfalfa hay make the cheapest milk
producing ration available. The addi-
tion of grain will increase the milk
flow to some extent, especially in the
first few months of the lactation Pc
riod. Later in the period the need
for grain decreases, and from the
standpoint of most economical produc-
tion very little grain is needed if al

ference between a juicy ripe apple.
and dry fruit In the dryins OF fruits,
as well as in the drying OF corn fod-
der, water is the main component
taken away This causes a loss Of
certain tlavoring materials, which,
though they do not vary much in the
chemists balance, are of the greatest
importance in rendering food mate
rails palatable.
1t is the same food materials which
are washed out of the hay during
heavy rains, and renders such hay of
no value, often of no more value than
so much straw-not because it does
not contain nearly as much fOsd sub
stance, like protein, fat, starch and
sugar, but because of the substances
that render hay palatable having been
removed by the rain.
The influence of we'll preserved
silage on the digestive system and
general health of the animal is very
beneficial. It is a mild laxative and
acts in this way very similar to green
fodder.
The filling of silos is the all-impor-
tant problem at the present time. AS
has previously been stated, corn is
one of the best feeds for making sill
age Corn should be left in the field
before cutting until it has passed
through the doughy state, that is until
the kernels are well de0ted and
glazed, as in the case of flint varieties.
The cutting of corn for the silo is
usually done on small farms by hand.
Many farmers have been using self
raking and corn-binding harvesters
for this purpose. while others report
good success with a sled or platform
cutter. If the corn stands up well
and is not of very large variety,
the end sought may be reached in a
very satisfactory manner by either of
these methods. If. ON the other hand

RELATION OF SILO AND
SILAGE TO DAIRYING

ing Green Fodder Has Made Win
ter Dairying Profitable.

Twenty years ago few farmers knew
ever seen one or fed ensilage to their
stock. 1t would probably have been
necessary at that time to publish a
book describing the silo system, with
definitions of silo and ensilase. Now
all farmers who read agricultural pa
pers, or who attend agricultural con-
veptfOnS or agricultural colleges, are
at least familiar with the fact that a
silO is an air tight structure used for
the preservation of coarse fodder in
succulent condition, and that silage is
the feed taken out, even though they
nave not mad a chance to become ia
miliar with the appearance and prop
critics of the latter.
1t was not until the latter part Of
the '70's that the building O. silos in.
tended for the manufacture OF cnsilage
began in this country. To-day silos
are very common in the east. especial
~ in the great dairy district of the
Mohawk valley, in New York, the
western reserve of Ohio, and the Elgin
ern Wisconsin, in the latter state be-
ing as common as barns.
In 1888 the United States depart
ment of agriculture could find only 81
farmers in this whole country who
used silos. The feeding of silage is
now considered necessity on thou
sands of dairy farms in the United
States and it is noticeable fact that
The states and localities ranking first
in dairy importance are the ones in
which the most silos are found. 1t is
likely that if census were taken Of
the number of silos in use in this
country to-day, we would find between
100000 aud 100000.
The SLIDING of feed compares favor
ably with the canning of fruits and
vegetables. There are various feeds
that can be sliced, but it has been def
initely determined that Indian corn is
best adapted for this purpose. How
ever, alfalfa and cow-peas, or soy
beans, are being sliced at the present
time with great success. A mixture Of
alfalfa and corn, or soy-beans and corn.
is preferable to either of these sliced
alone. on account of the balanced
nutriments which these feeds contain.
The advantages of silos. as enumer-
ated by John r. Fitch in Prairie Farm
er, are numerous. The silo enables
the farmer to preserve larger guam
tity of the food material of the orig
inal fodder for the feeding the farm
animals than is possible by any other
system of preservation now known.
Summarizing the considerations con-
corning the relative losses of food ma
terial, as given by the various stations,
in field-curing and SLIDING of Indian
corn, we may say that the latter. un-
der favorable conditions, is far more
economical than the former, and
therefore larger quantity Of food ma
terials is obtained by filling the silo
with fodder corn, than by any other
method of preservation known at the
present time. Besides this comes the
great problem of succulency.
All feeds of a succulent nature are
more digestible and more palatable
