Putting Up siIage.
~OOOO~

Many people make the mistake of
cutting corn too green for silage,
writes DR.. G.. A. Billings in American
Agriculturist. At this stage there is
a larger percentage Of water, and the
silage when taken out has large
amount of acid, less starch and sugar
and hence is less nutritious. Corn
planted In drills with stalks eight to
ten ipches apart will mature good
proportion of ears.
Harvesting should not begin until
the ears are passing the roasting stage
and begin to glaze. Unless the season
is exceptionally dry the stalks and
leaves will remain green, but too ma
ture or dry corn is more liable to
mold. This may be found in spots
around the sides or more generally
over the silowherever the air has gain
ed access to cause the fungous growth.
This condition may be improved by
tramping the material carefully in the
silo. adding water by sprinkling with
hose, or IL this is not available d.
rect a stream of water into the blower
or elevator sufficient to saturate the
cut fodder. This moisture assists The
material to settle and acts as q seal
to keep out the air.
There should be labor and teams
enough to keep the cutter running
steadily. Nothing is gained by cutting
a large amount of corn beforehand,
hauling and piling near the machine
to be handled over again. Aim to har-
vest at the least expense ton. This

Chean FertiIiinr.

Some of the best farms in the East
have been brought to the highest de-
gree Of fertility by the use of clover
lime and manure. The farmers who
have accomplished such results have
aimed to save every pound Of manure,
and also to preserve it in the best
manner. Lime Is used extensively by
those who know that lime is an essen
tlal Ingredient of plants, and also be-
cause 1t Is excellent for increasing tie
clover crop. Clover enriches the land
by promoting the supply Of nitrogen in
the soil, hence lime and clover make
an excellent combination.

Glover aud Fodder.

Glover and corn furnish a fodder
ration that can not easily be improved
upon for dairy cows. Two factors
should be taken into account when de-
terminlng the amount of grain to feed.
One is the extent to which clover or
alfalfa Is fed, and the second is the
production Of the COW. Tie rule with
some is to feed one pound of grain for
every three pounds Of milk produced.
When clover or alfalfa form a large
part Of the ration 1t would seem rea-
sonable to suppose that less quantity
of grain would suffice than the amounts
named.

doing away with the stopping of an
entire crew to repair the elevator. If
the corn Is heavy and the stalk large
cutting in half inch to one inch pieces
will have the tendency to partially
shred the stalk, and there will be no
butts refused by the animals.
Teh material In the sllo should be
kept level and well trampled, especial
ly around the sides of the silo, and Il
pays to have sufficient help for this
work. Where considerable silage is

Hest Grating Wax.

The following is claimed to be the
best grating wax, by an old orchard

one of beeswax add one pint Of linseed
oil; put in an iron pot, heat slowly
and mix pour into cold water and pull
until 1t assumes a light color. Work
into sticks, and put into cool place
until wanted. Some prefer linseed oil
to animal fat for grating wax.

Plants that Poison one Another.

Plants that Poison One Another.
1t Is matter of common observa-
tion that grass does not grow, so well
close to trees as in the open. The same
Is true Of grains. Experiments in Eng
land and in this country have shown
that the deleterious effects of the near
nelghborhood Of grass and trees are
mutual. The trees suffer as well as the
grass and grain. This is especially true
of fruit trees. The cause is ascribed
to the excretion by the trees, on the
one hand, of substances poisonous to
the grass, and by the grass, on the
other hand. of substances poisonous to
the trees. 1t thus appears that the
failure of grass TO grow well near trees
should not be ascrlbed to too much
shade, but to the exhaustion by the
tree roots of the full supply needed by
the grass.

strain of white dent corn which
grows on very short, thick-set stalk,
and which natures a good-sized ear,
and the ears run remarkably uniform.
The growth centers in the ear rather
than In producing a big stalk at the
expense Of small ear. After four
years Of careful, persistent work, there
are numerous corn fields in Southern
and Central Wisconsin which will
yield 60 to 80 bushels per acre, and

CURED scarcely any more feed than
those given shelter 1t was concluded
that the weather Is seldom too cold in
this climate for steers on full feed out
doors, provided they are kept in dry
quarters and out of winds.
At the same station a test was made
comparing the fattening value for
steers of cotton seed meal and the dis
tillery feed called ajax flakes. Twelve
steers fed on the fakes for ten weeks
made about one hundred pounds more
gain than twelve similar steers fed on
cotton seed meal, both materials be-
ing fed in a mixture of ear corn, corn
fodder and hay; but as the steers fed
on the distillery feed ate more corn
and hay than the others, the cost Of
making a pound of gain in either case
was about the same.
