Trials at the Vermont station show
that there is no material difference in
milk-producing value between fmma-
ture and mature corn fodder when
compared ON the basis Of dry matter.
The same results were secured with
silage made from mature and i'm
mature corn. A pound of dry matter
of the immature corn produced the
same results as pound Of dry matter
Of the mature corn. This suggests that
if corn is cut too early the farmer
loses too many pounds, and on the
other hand if cut too late too much In
the way of coarse butts IS wasted.

A farmers club in northern Illinois
has been formed for the sole purpose
of looking after the roadways in the
district. 1t has been proposed that
clover or alfalfa be sown, each farmer
seeding the strip adjacent to his own
land, and then each one is bound to
keep his strip clear Of weeds.

If one wants to have green corn on
the table long after frost, let him plant
some sugar corn very late in the sea-
son so it will be in the milk just about
frost Before frost falls pull up the
stalks by the roots, with dirt on them
and store them in a cellar, where it is
pretty damp. 1t will keep this way
for weeks. As far south as st. Louis
it is possible to have green corn in this
way well into November.

old age by the right ronte, so
that when wesreach old age we
will be prepared to live comfort
ably and happily.
1t is a good plan to save
something as we go along in life.
The time to save is while we are
earning. Save sonnet thing during
your working days. You will
want an income to live on when.
your powers are on the decline.
The average man has agreat
many years in which he earns
more than he should spend. If
you will lay aside little each
year, you will soon have a con-
siderable sum saved.
Keep your savings in the
