the Roasting Stage.
Through a better knowledge of the
best methods of SLIDING farmers have
come to feel that it is safe to plant
corn for the silo quite late In the sea-
son, writes a farmer of Maine in Amer
lean Agriculturist. Some farmers In
northern Vermont have largely over
come the difficulty Of securing good
silage from immature corn by cutting
the crop and allowing 1t to wilt for
several days before placing In the silo.
Through this practice they overcome
the danger of early frosts, and by the
drying out of part of the water con-
tent they secure a lighter colored, less
acid silage. This practice may be ex-
tended this season.
The White Sanford Variety.
Silage corn requires the same cul-
tural conditions as field corn-the same
liberal fertilization, the same thorough
blowing and careful cultivation deep
at first to maintain mellow condition
of the soil, shallow later In the season
to avoid cutting the corn roots and to
maintain q dust mulch. In this region
the White Sanford corn Is the favorite
for the silo. 1t is a rank, strong grow

close clay soil and In ordinary seasons

have ripened 1t sufficiently for seed.
For best results II should be planted
In drills three to three and one-half
feet apart, according to the fertility of
the soil, and there should be about two
growing stalks to each foot In the drill.
Good farm manure plowed under the
greensward at the rate of twenty
spreader loads per acre supplemented
with 45O pounds of high grade com
mercial fertilizer will produce a yield
large enough on land not too badly run
out.
I have never succeeded In raising
satisfactory crops of sllage corn on
commercial fertilizers alone. find the
barn manure carries 1t through the
latter part of the season better and If
finely and we'll spread and completely
mixed with the soil aids In carrying 1t
through a drought.
In Condition For Cutting.
For best silage the crop should fairly
mature. The smaller ears should at
least approach the roasting stage, and
If some of the most mature are well
glazed no harm will come from It.
When corn can be secured in this con-
dition and is cut In half inch lengths
into a silo, the silo filled slowly and

sweet silage will result. Such slage
will not fill the barn with unpleasant
odors-ln fact, no one will know that
there Is a slo In the barn except at
feeding time, and then the odor Is
slight and very pleasant.

TranspIanting Turnips.


Rutabaga turnips are excellent to
follow a crop Of early peas, says the
American Cultivator. For late crop
we have had the best success by trans
planting the turnips. After the peas
have all been picked the land Is
plowed and a cultivator Is run over
the place to level the surface and to
scrape of part Of the weeds and rub
bish. The land is then drilled eighteen
inches apart, with a moderate applica-
ton of phosphate in the drill. The
young plants are set four inches apart
in the row.
The work Of transplanting may be
done very rapidly by skilled work
man. Care is taken to bear heavily on
the soil about each plant after pricking
out. The after work Is not very great
by this method, the ground being kept
loose by wheel hoe. For large
field or where wheel hoe Is not to
be had wider rows and a fine toothed
cultivator would be preferred. The
transplanting method insures a regular
stand of turnips and quick growth to
q good size.

The Dunlap and good late kind like

practical point Is to put on straw
enough for mulch and winter protec-
lion to last until the bearing season
