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

tSN NJ, A. GOODklCH.
Perhaps there is more benefit derived
from silage by feeding it to milk cows
than by feeding 1t to any other kind
Of stock At any rate, it is used more
and thought more of by dairymen than
by any other class of farmers.
Cows should never be fed exclusively
on silage. They need some dry forage
to go with 1t; they need a variety. Be
sides this. corn silage is a carbona-
ceous food and needs some more nltrog-
enOus food to go with it to make a
well balanced ration. About thirty
or at most forty pounds a day of
silage is as much as should be fed to
each COW. 1t 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 it is long exposed
to the air it will be damaged. If the
feeding commences Immediately after
filing the silo-and this is a good way
to do it-there will 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 1t up with the fork, for that will
let in the air and cause damage.
My way is to feed the silage ration
in two feeds, both night and morning.
and it 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 a
wonderful liking for silage. and be.
lieve much Of the success in feeding 1t
can be attributed to it's palatability.
They even prefer it, to 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 day
come to the gate at 4 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 at
the same time corn cut fresh from the
helds 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 it may be the

YOUNG COTTON PLANT DYING FROM WILT.
This may be succeeded by corn, with
Iron cOwpeas or peanuts between the
rows. The third year a wilt resistant
variety Of cotton may be planted.
Wheat or rye may be substituted for
oats and the velvet bean for the Iron
cowpea, especially in the more south
ern districts.
Considerable relief is often obtained
by single years rotation with oats
followed by crab grass or winter oats
or rye followed by Iron cowpeas, but
not all the nematodes are destroyed.
However, it is much more profitable in
the long run to practice three year
rotation like that previously described

Second.-To build up the fertility Of
the soil and especially to increase the
amount Of organic matter or humus.
Thlrd-To secure an adequate in
come during each year Of the rotation.
Fourth.-To keep the land free from
weeds that are liable to root knot.
A list of the crops not liable to root
knot which can lie used in such rota
tons follows: Corn, winter oats, rye,
wheat, crab grass, Iron cowpea, velvet
bean, peanut. beggarweed.
Some Of the crops susceptible to nenl-
atodes and therefore to be avoided in
rotations for root knot are cowpeas
Except from, alfalfa, vetch, soy beans
clover. sugar cane tomatoes. okra, GU
cumbers, cantaloupes, watermelons,
celery beans. sweet potatoes, tobacco,
potatoes, peaches, figs, mulberries. The
Iron cowpea is occasionally slightly af-
fected in Florida, but is practically i'm
mune In the cotton belt Seed of the
Iron cowpea containing admiXtures of
other kinds is dangerous and should be
avoided
Bermuda grass. chufas and summer
oats are slightly susceptible. but prob
ably can be used in rotation when root
knot is only slightly prevalent Many
weeds are also to he avoided because
subject to root knot The commoner OF
these are maypop, Indian potato saw
brier red root or pigweed (amaran-
thusl and purslane
The following treatment is suggested
for fields injected with both wilt and
root knot:
Beginning in the fall. SOW winter
oats. These may be cut for hay In
May or allowed to ripen. Follow the
oats with Iron cowpeas. sown broad
cast or. better, in drills. where they
can be cultivated once or twice. Cut
these peas for hay and pillow the land at
once for another crop of winter grain

RECENT DEATHS.
Pearl.

The death of Mrs. Lucina S. Albee,
widow of William L. Pearl, which oc-
Cured on the evening Of Friday, Deem
Der IS, brought sincere sadness to the
entire community. Since the beginning
of her Illness last month she has made
brave struggle to regain health and
strength and had continually improved
until Thursday noon when cerebral
hemorrhage occurred, resulting in her
death.
She was born in East Hardwick. Nov.
%, 1888, and is the last member of her
family. She was educated at Peacham
Academy and Castleton Seminary. She
graduated with large class from the
Seminary, now the State Normal school,
in 1868, with valedictory honors. At
that time Rev. Stephen Knowlton,
formerly of Danville, was principal and
Rev. J. K. Williams was tutor. After
her graduation she taught school success
fully until her marriage, November 19,
1866. Mr.. and Mrs. Pearl lived in
Sheffield until March, 1873 when they
moved to St. Johnsbury, which has since
been her home. and where Mr.. Pearl died
about II years ago. She is survived by
her daughter, Lillian NJ, her son, Ray
mond A., and her grandson, Theron P.
Calderwood. One daughter, Bertha NJ,
Mrs. c. S. Calderwood, died about 10
years ago.
Mrs. Pearl was an ideal mother and
home maker, and one with whom
acquaintance and friendship was an in
spiration for the highest ideals, the
pleasant memories of which can never be
forgotten.
The following tribute is from her
pastor:
1t is impossible to speak justly of Mrs
PEARLS character without falling into
what may seem extravagant language.
Hers was nature of a quiet, intiexible
strength, but at all times full OF the
grace of a sweet. christian spirit. Few
so truly exemplihed the charity that
even thihketh no evil Patience, an
accomplishing fortitude, and deep,
immovable faith were natural and usual
with her, as though the most common Of
human characteristics. For over 80
years she was identified with the North
congregational church and tor much OF
the time was active in its service. None
more solicitouslv had the deepest in
terest of the church and of all religious
work at heart. Suffice it all to say that
Mrs. Pearl was of those whose influence,
though unobtrusive, is one of the posi-
tive and unacceptable elements of life, and
that to know her only casually was to
realize
That good diffused may more abundant
grow"
The funeral was held from her late
home Monday afternoon, Rev. 6. w. {.
Hill officiating. Two selections were
sung by the male quartet of the North
church, Harlan n Wood, P. F Hazen,
E. A. Silsby and F. H. Brooks. The
bearers were George Tilden, Albert
Gifin, DR.. F. E. Farmer. and Gilbert +.
Woods. The profuson of beautiful
flowers was a silent token of deep love
and respect tor her.

quite sick through the week, but rallied

lapse which resulted in his death.
Mr.. Story was born in Warner, N. H.,

a father when only eight years old,
he and his older brother lived on the
farm and made home for their mother
When a young man he moved to
Canaan and entered the lumber business
in partnership with H. S. Dow He con-
tnued in this business until 1883 when
he became one of the purchasing agents
for the Boston & Lowell railroad, buy
ing the wood and coal for that railroad.
In 1890 he came to St. Johnsbury to

The term "microbe" refers to a

Gus diseases, and derive their titles
through the form of their growth or

licles, and i'm time the pores entirely
close and the scalp gradually takes on
shiny appearance. When this hap

growth being revived.
Dandruff is a contagious disease

Sometimes the cuticle surrounding
