corn roots will be closer to the surface
than in q field that has been plowed
deeply and that has been opened up to
considerable depth by the growth of
clover. Consequently, one can culti-
vate more deeply in field that has
been we'll prepared than In a field
that has been poorly prepared.
1t is not usually necessary to cult.
vate more than two inches deep to
keep the soil in good condition. After
the first one or two times, one can
usually do better work and do it more
safely by using some sort Of surface
cultivator Floats or knives can be
purchased from most of the dealers to
attach to any cultivator. v
1t is not enough to cultivate simply
when the corn gets weedy. When the
soil is dry, one should cultivate to re-
tain moisture by means of checking
evaporation with the surface mulch.
When the soil is wet, cultivation opens
It up, aerates it and makes it warmer.
ii one does not cultivate deep enough

er. Checking the evaporation also in
cfeases the supply of available moist
ure in the soil. Cultivation also stirs
up the soil and allows the air to en-
ter more freely. Consequently, in cul-
tivating, one has a means by which
he can largely control the available
moisture in the soil. In this way the
corn grower has the advantage of the
grain grower; because the grain grow
er loses control of his crop as soon
as it is seeded, while the corn grower
can do many things to regulate the
condition of his soil by means of cult
walton.
Corn, like any other plant, gets it's
plant food from the soil entirely
through it's roots. One should bear
this in mind when cultivating, and
avoid tearing Off the roots as much as
possible. This usually means rather
shallow cultivation. If land has been
poorly farmed and poorly plowed, the

ture. The large varieties Of corn, that
do not mature, make silage that is
too juicy, and consequently too sour,
for best results in feeding.
One can ordinarily expect about ten
tons Of silage per acre from a crop of
corn. Cut corn for silage when the
ears have become well glazed, or, in
other words. at about the stage it
would be cut if it were to be shocked
for ear corn. 1Es#&s + -"
The cost Of silage can be greatly re.
duced if several farmers own the ma.
chinery together, and, under most con.
ditions, it is desirable to cooperate in
the filling of the silo. Considerable
saving can also be made if several go
together and buy the material, and
have several silos made at once.

CORN FOR SIlAGE.
Conserves Much of Its Food Value
When Stored in a Silo.


There is no other way by which a
crop of corn can be handled that will
conserve SO much of it's food value, as
by storing it in the silo. Where one
can afford the necessary buildings and
equipment, as much corn as can be
fed in that form to advantage should
be stored in this way. For silage, corn
is usually soWn in drills at the rate of
about one-half bushel per acre. How
ever, many of the farmers, who have
had long experience in handling corn
in the silo, are reducing the amount
of seed used per acre down to about
one peck, and often the corn is plant
ed in the same manner as, for ears.
For silage, one should use the varie-
ties Of corn that gives best results il,
the production of ear corn in the To-
cality, because good silage is made
only from corn that is practically ma
