terial is nearly as good next to the
wall as II Is In the center.
II is not always so with the square
structure the silage in the corners
OF a square building is apt TO be very
poor in quality and often unfit for
feed.
Since the round building Is the best
form to construct the next question
to consider Is what kind OF a round
silo should be built? The stave silo.
which Is manufactured by a number Of
Arms, makes a very satisfactory build
ing and one that lasts for many years.
Farmers who have built the stave silos
are well pleased with them.
II should be borne in mind that a
silo is nothing more or less than a
large air.tight vessel In which feed Is
canned for future use. The size of
the silo depends upon the number of
animals that are TO be fed from 1t.
In the main II should be tall and
slim. II Is difficult to build silo too
high, but II is easy to build It too large
In diameter. The diameter should be
of that size to allow at least a two
inch layer OF silage to be fed each day
from the top surface. II the silage Ia
exposed too long to the air II will
spoil. the same as canned fruit or
vegetables. The average feed OF 81.
lage IL about 40 pounds day and the
silo for winter feeding should hold
enough to feed the stock for 200 days.
The following table gives the di.
mensions the silo should be built for
q given number OF animals and the
number OF days that It will feed them !;
Il also gives the approximate capacity
of each size and the average number
of acres Of corn 1t will take To hll the
silo:

to have more material to feed II Is
better to build two small receptacles
than one larger than 20 feet In d.
ameter. II involves considerable more
labor to handle silage In very large
structure than In one of reasonable
size. Many farmers prefer to have
two silos. They feed from one during
the winter and have the contents OF
the other for midsummer's feeding.
The silo should never be built In
the barn. Silage is more or less a
fermented product and must be fed
with care. otherwise the milk may be-
come tainted by its use. Barns that
contain a silage always bear the odor
OF the silage, and this should be avoid
ed If high-grade milk is to be pro-
duced.
A circular foundation of stone. brick
or grout is constructed from two to
three feet above the ground to protect
the timbers from moisture. The wall
is built from IA to 20 inches thick. de.

and the size OF the silo to be built.
The top OF the wall should be beveled
outward, which permits the water to
flow away very quickly from the base

Asa Paine, vice-president OF the
American Automobile association, SAID
in st. Augustine of the automobse
industry:
Cars are now made TO last The
rich man no longer finds his 1897 car
unfashionable, like his 1907 coat, In
1909.
AT the beginning of the industry
car was antiquated in no time-ee
antiquated that people laughed at It.
They tell story in Detroit absst
dealer who had, in 1900, an anti
nuaCss 1895 car. He tried vainly TO
sell this car. He put lower and lover
price tags on it-s100. $50. s1e--asd
finally he put on a tag TO the effect
that the car was to be given away.
Even then there were no takers.

dealer left the 1895 car in a vacant

SOY BEANS
A GOOD CROP
Hogs Take Very Kindly 60 This
Plant and Eat Beans Readily
-FIesh Former-By Prof.
H. A. Moore.

Soy beans were first grown at the
Wisconsin experiment station in 1899.
and each year since the acreage and
the number Of varieties tested have
been increased.
The tests at this station have been
made for the purpose of determining
their value as forage plant and of
fiding out, which varieties. II any.
were adapted to our soil and climate
Twenty-Five varieties have been on
trial. OF these the Michigan green
seems especially adapted to be grown
with corn for silage. This Is a me-
dunn early variety and is noted for
its height and great growth of foliage
The stems are strong and 1t usually
stands erect so that 1t can be harvest
ed nicely with the corn binder, or II
grown alone can be cut 10 advantage
with a mower.
IL grown for seed or pasture pur-
poses the soy bean should be sown in
drills about 30 inches apart Where
a small acreage is desired a hand drill
can be used, but where a large guam
tity is planted grain drill can be
used by stopping some of the inter
vening spouts so as to have the soy
beans the proper distance apart.
A corn planter can be used to ad.
vantage and the seed sown the usual
distance allowed for corn. or by
doubling put them one-half the dis.
lance apart.
Where the greater distance is al.
lowed between the rows the seed
should be sown about twice as thick
in the row.
IL the desire is to cut for hay. sow
broadcast with seeder or by hand
Where sown in drills about one-half
ousbel of seed should be used per
acre, and II sown broadcast about one
bushel.
The soy bean can be harvested to
advantage by being pastured off with
hogs and II seems that this will be
one of it's principal uses in the future,
as II Is high in protein and a great
flesh former.
Hogs take very kindly to this plant
and eat the beans readily. BY plant.
ing few acres OF the early varieties
each year a farmer can not only re-
new the fertility OF the soil. but have
an abundance of feed for fitting his
hogs for the fail market.

II is more than a quarter OF cen
tury since the American farmer be-
gan to can some OF his green crops in
= vessel. called a silo. There has been
much written and a great deal of ex.
perimenting done to prove the feast
bility Of preserving some OF our green
food In this manner. There is no
longer any question that this method
Is one OF the best as well as the
cheapest ways we have of storing
some OF our green crops.
In the beginning manv ill-construct-
ed si.os were built and extravsgsnt
claims were made for their use. In
many instances the silage was very
poor in quality. which led many
thoughtful and conservative people to
condemn the silo
Since we have learned to fill them
properly the prejudice and suspicion
are fast disappearing and silos are
being built In every part OF the coun-
try where livestock Is kept The silo
has become a permanent factor in
American husbandry and the stock
EaiscIs. as well dS tuc udlT Tymen, Will
depend largely on the contents of the
silo for green feed
The progressive dairymen have long
realized the value OF succulent food
for their cows. and they have been
using silos for many years II is the
more conservative farmers who are
now rapidly becoming converted to
the use Of silage and are making In
quiries In regard to the building of
silos and many other questions per.
tanning to this method of preserving
feed. These questions have led the
writer to prepare these notes on the
silo and silage
II Is q settled question that the silo
snould be built round. for in a build
Ia OF this shape the silage is best pre-.
served. In round structure the con.
tents settle more evenly than in any
other shaped building. and If the corn
is properly put into the silo the ma.
