Eeedina silaae.

There are many precautions which
must be taken In feeding corn silage,
not only because Of It's effect upon
the COW. but because OF It's effect upOa
the milk A. rule. silos are not very
plentifnlly distributed over the coun-
try IN fact. they are not nearly 50
common rs they should be, but even at
the present time we find milk con
densaries ana creamerieS that are re-
fusing the milk products Of silage fed
cows This Il not because the Stage
which the COW eats taints the milk.
hut it Is the sllage which the COW
does not eat that taints the milk. Only
last winter In conversation with
prominent milk condenser the writer
was given these facts:
This gentleman made the statement
that the milk produced on his own
farm was produced largely by the use
OF corn Silage but great care was ex-
ercised in the feeding. The reason his
company prohibited the use of corn
silage In the production Of milk by the
farmers and dalrymen was because
OF The carelesSness with which the ST.
lage WAS fed The odors were per
mltted % remain In the barn. and this
odor was what ruined the milk.
II the sllo connects with the barn
by corridor. the feeding may be- as
convenient as where the silo Is con-
nected directly with the barn. BY
keeping the doors OF the corridor
closed the odor from the silo Is con
fined. and II the feeding Is deferred
until after milking hours there IL no
reason why there should he any odor
OF silagc whatever In the barn. Often
times however. we lind that the cows
are overfcd Of siage. and a portion
Of II remains In their feed boxes or
around their front feet. Naturally this
portion of the feed decays aud mods.
and very ,llsa grceabic odor remains

THE CORN WORM.
Fall Flowing Is the Best Remedy

200 10 500 eggs. The eggs are shaped
Ike an inverted teacup, with the YER

The caterpiliars reach their growth I'm

ing light and dark brown stripes aud
lines running lengthwise OF the body.
Combating the Insect.
Unfortunately the combating Of this
Insect with any success IN the corn
field Is still an unsolved problem. It
has been found by experiments that
plowlng in the fall and breaking up
the underground sheltered pupae and
exposing them to the yicissitudes of
the weather Will In almost every in
stance result In their death. How
ever. It Is not often practical 10 plow

to put the calves up and haul the last
