Putting I'd SiIaEe.

Many people make the mistake of
cutting corn too green for silage,
writes DR.. G. A. Billings in American
Agriculturlst. At this stage there is
a larger percentage of water, and the
silage when taken out has a large
amount of acid, less starch and sugar
and hence is less nutritious. Corn
planted in drills with stalks eight to
ten inches apart will mature n 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 ilowherever 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
a hose or if this is not available di-
rect stream OF water INTO the DlOWef
or elevator sufficient to saturate the
cut fodder. This moisture assists the
material to settle and acts as a seal
to keep out the air.
There should be labor and teams
enough to keep the cutter running
steadily. Nothing is gained by cutting
n large amount of corn beforehand.

will require an extra handling. Let

Bran for Poultry.

Bran is an excellent food for poul-
try in all stages of growth as we'll as
for laying hens. One great point in
It's favor Is its cheapness. 1t contains
a larger proportion of lime than any
other food at the price, and lime is
essential to growth Of bone, muscles
and feathers, as well as the formation
of shells for eggs. Lime which is
found in food for some reason is much
more easily assimilated than In the
form of oyster shell and the like.
Wheat is most excellent poultry food
but the high price prohibits many
from using it freely. Bran and clio
yer used in connection with oats will
produce as good results. Clover and
alfalfa are rich in lime and should he
had at all times in the green state
when possible and in the form of we'll
cured hay the rest Of the year. Cut
alfalfa and bran may be fed In the
form Of mash. Skim milk is an ideal
thing to moisten it with Fowls how
ever, will consume quantities of bran
dry fed from a self-feeder and they
eat alfalfa or clover hay freely from
the stack or manger.
Bran may be used mixed with the
cut grain the self-feeder and per
haps this is the most convenient form
Of ali in which to use It,
Some of the most valuable food
properties contained in the wheat are
left in the bran and its food value for
poultry is not fully appreciated by
many poultry raisers or we would see
more of them using 1t in the ration.
If you feed bran, clover and alfalfa
you need on oyster shell and very little
cut bone or lean meat. In fact Il flock
will get on and yield lots of eggs with
on any attempt to furnish meat if the
bran and alfalfa Is fed. ''-Poutry

Cheap Fertfliing.

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
tial ingredient of plants, and also be
cause it is excellent for increasing TIE
clover crop Glover enriches the land
by promoting the supply of nitrogen in

an excellent combination.
