slLAGE FOR MILK cows.
Most Profitable Way to Feed This
Valuable Ration.
BY NJ. A. GOODRICH.

BY NJ. A. GOODRICH.
/ Perhaps there is more benefit derived
from silage by feeding 1t to milk cows
than BY feeding 1t TO any other kind
Of stock. At any rate. 1t is used more
and thought more of by dairymen than
! by any other class of farmers.
Cows should never be fed exclusively
on siage They need some dry forage
to go with II: they need variety. Be
sides this. corn silage is a carboua-
ceous food and needs some more nitrog-
enous food to so with 1t to make a
well balanced ration. About thirty
or ut most forty pounds day Of
silage Is as much as should he fed to
each cow II should be fed from the
top OF the silo, taking Off about two
inches in depth from the entire sur
face each day. for If 1t is long exposed
to the air il viii be damaged. II the
feeding commences Immediately after
filling the silo- and this is a good way
to do it--there viii be no damaged
silage at all Care should be taken at
each time Of feeding to leave the sur
face smooth and even and not pick and
stir II up with the fork, for that will
let III the air and cause damage,
My way is to feed the silage ration
ia two feeds. both night and morning,
and 1t is better to feed after milking,
because the peculiar odor Of the silage
might affect the flavor of the milk.
Cows as well as other stock have
wonderful liking for silage, and be-
lleye much Of the success In feeding 1t
can be attributed to its palatabnity.
They even prefer 1t, to a certain ex-
tent at least. to fresh cut forage or
good grass in the pasture. have seen
cows in June when on good pasture
which had been fed silage every dag
come to the gate at o'clock In the
afternoon and below and ask to come
to the barn and get silage, which they
would eat greedily and apparently
with great relish have seen the ex-
pertinent tried Of offering the cows nc
the same time corn cut fresh from the
fields and silage that was put up the
year before. Every cow chose the
silage and ate that first 1t is true
these cows had been fed silage every
day all summer. and 1t may be the
habit Of eating silage had something
10 do with their preferring 1t, but they
surely would not have done 1t II silage
had not been Iretty good feed.
There is a better and cheaper feed
to supplement short pastures, which
we are almost suretto have every sum-
mer on account of drought or other
causes, than good silage. know some
Of the most snccessful dairymen In the
country who feed silage every day in
the year, winter rs well as summer.

DIZZY ROT IN CORN.
A Disease Which Threatens to rs.
come = Serious Matter.

CVHle ocFiOuS mattcTs
The name dry rot is derived from
the way the ears are affected in the
field in general the husks tend to
turn prematurely yellow to sooty, and
the ear becomes partially or wholly
shriveled and much decreased In
weight Sometimes the ears remain
upright with the husks closely adher-
ing to them. In other cases the shanks
are weakened, and the affected ears
hang limp from their attachment, or
the diseased condition may not be de-
tected uutll the husk is removed"
There are several kinds Of dry rot,
due to different causes. The most
common and that which has during
the past two seasons caused about 30
per cent OF the damage in Illinois liz
due to fungus known as Diplodia
maydis. Ears infected with this fun
gus 'shrivel up more or less. darken
in color and become light in weight"
The kernels are also shriveled. very
brittle and loosely attached to the cob.
The fungus penetrates all portions OF
the ear, kernels, cob and hus1s and
produces many dark brown. two celled
spores which serve to propagate the
fungus.
In the case Of the diplodia disease
and quite probably in that Of the other
forms the fungus perpetuates itself
over winter on the old diseased ears

CAPTAIN BURR'S INJURY.
1t Presents a Problem Hard to overesti-
mate, Says Harvard Crimson.

In discussing Captain Burr's injury
the Harvard Crimson says editorially;
The injury to Captain Burr, which at
first appeared to be merely a wrench OF
the arm, has proved to be more serious.
On closer examination it was found that
the shoulder itself was badly injured,
and one or two Of the ligaments torn.
This being the case, it is impossible for
him to play against either Carlisle or
Dartmouth. but it does not prevent the
possibility Of his being able to play
against Yale at New Haven on the 2lst.
The tearing of the ligaments which has
taken place will take considerable time
to heal, but it remains to be seen how
rapidly they will knit together again.
From present indications it seems to be
about an even chance that he viii be in
the lineup in the final game.
This presents a problem for the coaches
and the team which is hard to overesti-
mate. To be deprived Of linesman Of
three years experience, whose kicking
alone, measured in terms OF ground
gained, is invaluable. and in addition, a
real leader and captain-it is hard to
imagine more serious blow. The two
games in the coming fortnight will test
Harvard's strength to the limit. and with
Burr out Of the lineup it viii be doubly
hard 1t is hoped that he viii be able
