VALUE OF
THE SILO.

The silo is an established factor in
American husbandry. While it is more
commonly used by dafrymen than by
other feeders, the time is not far dis
tant when the silo will be depended
largely upon to furnish succulent food
to all classes of farm live stock. The
comparative merits Of feeding a corr
crop I'm cured condition or converting it
into silage and then feeding 1t are as
follows: The losses Of nutrients in
either case are about equal. The digest
Utility is about the same for each.
Silage, however, is more completely
consumed, more readily eaten and in
greater quantity than when the same
material Is cured. It car be placed In
the silo when ready regardless Of the
weather and when so disposed Of is 10
the best possible condition for feeding
and handling.
The sflo is also much mort econom-
teal in storage per unit Of nutrients
than any possible Enclosure for dry,
bulky hays OF folders. The labor and
expense of harvesting and storing a
crop for the silo come all at time,

raising a very simple matter. It Is
not particular in its food, nor is II q
gross eater. For this reason goat farm
ing is especially recommended for
women. The farmers wife Is learning
that she can care for a large herd with
little effort or worry. An important
source Of income is thus made possible
throughout the country. Practically
any land, no matter how poor, will
| support a goat herd, provided alone II
is not we or marshy. Goats will
thrive and multiply on land which
would starve horses or cattle or ever
sheep. The roughness Of the land
works no disadvantage since goats
seem to prefer hillsides and rocky
| cliffs to level country.
The principal value Of the Angora
| goat from a commercial standpoint lies
in its wool, which Is commonly known
as mohair, but another strong point In
the Angora is its dietetic popularity,
which makes it one of the best land
scavengers In the world. A great
many of the farmers who have In re-
| cent years gone into Angora goat rails
ing have had the clearing of their
brush patches in view rather than the
mere production Of mohair.
Writing Of milk goats recently, a
Massachusetts breeder said: '"The two
breeds which by common agreement
seem the most desirable for this coun-
try are the Toggenburg and Saanen,
both Swiss varieties. Only a few i'm
portations of these have been made,
numbering in all fewer than 100
what are they good for? They are
milk producers-milk Of a very high
quality and with not the slightest
strong or unpleasant favor. They are
not so good for cream or butter. The
milk Is richer In fat than cows milk,
| but does not separate readily. At the
same time 1t is the most easily d.
gested milk known, which makes It OF
the greatest value as food for children
and invalids.
"The writer has a Saanen doe that
| gave three quarts Of milk per day at
her first kidding and now, six months
later, gives two quarts. The milk sells
In the cities readily for Is cents
per quart. When mature this doe
should give five OF SIX quarts when
fresh. She is a hearty feeder and
drinker, but, for all that what is such
an animal worth as an investment

domestic animals and with a small
capital here is IN opportunity in an

Developing Helfers' Udders

Hetfer calves should be handled very
often to keep them gentle, and fire.
Quent manipulation Of the udder dur
ing the first pregnancy will do much
to stimulate development, This fire.
quent handling Of the udder IS Of no
little Importance not only In securing
better development, but also to make
the hetfer 80 familiar with the opera
ton that when her calf Is dropped she
will take the milking as a matter Of
course and will not require to be bro
ken.
The heifer should drop her first calf
when she Is about two years Old, as
this will make a nor productive COW
than when delayed until another year.
When the first calf is not dropped until
the third year one calf and one year
OF milking are lost and the heifer ac-
quires a tendency to use her surplus
feed In the laying on Of fat instead Of
In the secretion Of milk, a tendency
which will be retained through life and
which would have been avoided by
earlier breeding.-W. r. Gilbert.

THE HORSEMAN.

Brood mares should be fed literally,
but not to excess. They should have
the best quality Of well cured hay. oats
and bran. Moldy hay that has been
heated in the or bale, musty oats
and bran that has soured Will not sup
ply the proper nutriment for producing
stake winners.
Horee Collars Should FL.
A badly fitting collar makes the
young team horse troublesome. It Is Of
the greatest importance that the collar
should At perfectly. so that it does not
cause discomfort to the animal nor
wiring u hurt Its shoulders. The shout
ders often become more or less tender
at first through the pressure Of the col
lar against them, and In order to
harden the skin on them It Is a good
plan to battle them with a solution Of
salt in water Tor alum In water when
the young horse has finished its work
for the day.
Exercise Before Foailng.
The exercise Of mares before foaling
should not be neglected. They can be
worked without harm up to within q
week or ten days before foaling, pro-
vided they are handled carefully. After
they have been taken out Of harness be
sure that they get some exercise each
day and do not feed large quantities Of
nutritious grain, as this will tend to
stimulate the milk flow too soon and
may cause milk fever n q bad udder.
I also believe there are many cases Of
scours In colts caused from this error.
The quantity Of grain should be gradu-
ally reduced and the amount Of bran
increased-Professor R. q Obrecht,
University Of Illinois.
Colo In Horsee.
Collie in u horses, says an English
veterinarian, is generally the result Of
careless Oh improper feeding. The
stomach Of the horse Is small, and the
digestion Is limited. and If the horse is
hungry and overfed or is allowed to
gulp down a big feed colo is the result.
Also If musty hay OF musty, sour feed
Is used or If fresh cut grass wet with
dew OF rain Is hastily eaten tn large
quantities cole Is often the result.

R1na In he Orchard

A writer in Rural New Yorker says
that before the pigs are turned on to q
clover sod they should have nose rings,
not for the good of the pig, but for
protection of the sod. 1t Is but little
trouble to insert the ready made wire
rings, which cost Is cents per 100, as
sorted sizes. The nippers for placing
the rings cost 20 cents each Place
ring in the nippers, and while the pig
Is eating reach down and place the
opening In the ring over the gristle
part of the nose. close the nippers
quickly and the job is finished. We
have placed forty rings In their noses
within twenty minutes. When we
pasture pigs in the orchard We do not
ring them. We think it advantageous
to the tree and fruit to have the ground
rotted up thoroughly. We are inclined
to think this method is more beneficial
to plum than to peach trees, especially
IN producing fruit Our plum trees de-
velop wood and a quantity Of choice
fruit while the peach trees develop

Health Of tho Flock.
Fly time Is on, and sheep espe-
italy rams, should be watched closely
for maggots. All rams should have
liberal quantities Of pine tar aroun
the horns, which will prevent the ny

ent turpentine or dip will dislodge
them and pine tar Will keep them
away, writes an Ohio breeder In the
National stockman and Farmer. The
long and middle wool sheep are more
annoyed by the common house fly than
the Merinos and should have a dark

single fly will prevent one Of these
sheep from thriving q whole day.

Cow Demanda Reouiaritx.

The dairy COW IS a good timekeeper
and knows very well when milking
time comes If she is neglected and
allowed to go far beyond the regular
time she begins to worry and loss fol-
lows. There are some COWS that GER
tain mixers can never get clean. They
milk out all that flows readily and
strip around once or twice, then call it
finished. With some cows this an
swers, but with others the mixer must
reach well up on the udder and work
it with a sort Of kneading process. A
little manipulation Of this sort viii
cause the whole quantity to flow into
the teats, whereas without it there will
be from a gill to a pint Of the richest
milk left in the udder every time, which
means a prematurely dry COW.

Hanged, Not Hung.

A well known English critic many
years ago tn commenting on some
amusing Americanisms called special
attention to the common use in this
country Of the word hung instead of
hanged" in connection with the ex-
ecut1on Of a malefactor. In England,
he said, beef Is hung, gates are hung,
curtains are hung, but felons are
hanged In the United States, on the
contrary, felons are treated like beef,
gates and curtains and are all hung"
There was a time when this criticism
was just, but DO careful speaker or
writer in this country now use hung
in that connection. Hanged" is right,
Of course, and the wide awakers should
remember that,

Mixed Breeding.

In mixed breeding or crossed breed
ing nothing Is accomplished beyond
the first cross. While a few good In
dividVNls may be secured, the tend
ency is for the progeny to be rather
below than above the average. A man
conducting his breeding in a haphaz-
ard way is contending with fearful
odds, cropping in the dark, following
a will-o-the-wisp, writes George II.
Glover in a Colorado experiment sta
ton bulletin. In a hundred years he
would be just where he started. After
animals have been graded up to a
practical purity Of blood, the longer
they are bred along this line the more
prepotent they become and the more
certain that the offspring will uniform
ly possess general excellence Of form,
quality, action and utility.

HEALTH OF THE HOG.
eeasures That Should Be Taken to
Protect the Herd.

Protect the Herd.
After all, the old adage that an ounce
Of prevention is worth pounds Of cure
holds good In protecting the health OF
the hog. Cholera receives credit for
killing many animals whose death
is due to other causes. Many of these
troubles a be guarded against or
may be successfully treated.
In the way of preventive measures
Srst and foremost stands the natural
nnshine-the best antiseptic and ger
micide known- Here is where, other
things being equal, the large, fancy
hog house is less desirable than the
small, Individual narrowing house in
which the sun can penetrate every
nook and corner, drying, warming and
disinfecting thoroughly every inch of
surface.
It might be said to an almost equal
extent that the more dipping the less
disease, as the dipping process not
only destroys the vermin, but stimu-
lates the action Of the skin and. re-
fexly, the digestive organs.
During last fall and winter several
outbreaks Of true hog cholera were
caused by the lack of q little foresight
IN not properly handling breeding and
show stock. No hog or pig should be
placed among strange animals without
first being kept in quarantine for a
few weeks and dipped several times.
In buying breeding stock OF show
stock. returning home they should al
ways be dipped upon arriving and at
the end of the quarantine period be-
fore turning them in with the rest Of
the herd. By quarantining, in this in
stance, Is meant the keeping of the
animals entirely by themselves and
cared for by an attendant who never
goes near the main herd until such
time as It is decided positively that
they have not been infected with dis
ease.
When symptoms Of cholera appear
tn a herd 1t is wise to dip the whole
herd, disinfect their quarters thorough
ly, give them a slight change in feed
and add to this about five drops Of
tincture of prickly ash for each hun
dred pounds Of hog once or twice per
day. The old remedy Of wood ashes
and salt is good in many Instances. A
little powdered sulphate Of copper,
dried sulphate Of iron or charcoal
given daily when the animals are not
perfectly healthy frequently does much
good-F. s. ~Schoenieber, D. V. S.. Pro-

Clean Milk Utensils.

I believe the ordinary ten gallon milk
can used for the transportation Of COM
mercial milk has been the cause of
more trouble than any other one thing.
Frequently cans which are supposed to
be clean contain half a pint Of filthy
rfnsing water. l believe there should
be al ordinance in every village and
city compelling the milk vender to
wash and sterilize his cans thoroughly
before sending them to the producer.
In the washing Of milk utensils you
should not use soap powders or soaps
Of any kind which contain organic fat.
By so doing you may convey to your
milk undesirable 1avors and cause to
remain in your utensils deposits which
will contaminate or deteriorate the
