The Useful SilO.

The silo Is text which Is always
inspiring to the man who knows Its
value and 1t cannot be preached from
too often, writes s. c. Miller Wher-
ever 1t Is seen 1t denotes farming,
1t solves the problem of turning into
the highest efficiency that portion of
the corn crop which fails to reach the
desired maturity as feed. The silo
can be filled at less expense than the
same amount Of dry feed can be cared
for and 1t makes better feed. This
is, after all, the main point to con-
slider. Dairymen have learned that
when cows are kept in the stable for
f1ve to seven months they cannot re-
turn as satisfactory profits II they are
confined to a ration of dry feed alone
Ensilage gives succulence and Is very
much easier to masticate and digest
than dry corn fodder. There is also
a great saving Of labor In feeding en-
silage, over feeding dry corn fodder
The initial expense keeps many silo
from decorating the landscape, but
1t Is good practice to economize in
other directions to provide for 1t. Once
built and rightly built 1t will not have

cost is spread out so thinly that 1t
cuts no great figure In the business

Renting a Farm.

The following Is from the Almanac
and Encyclopedia for 1910, published
by the International Harvester Com
pany:
The greatest risk is always on the
landlords side in the rental of prop
-erty. He Is putting his property into
the possession and care of another,
who may be person Of doubtful util-
ity. 1t is we'll to observe these rules
and cautions: Do not trust to a ver-
bal lease-let 1t be in writing, signed
and sealed. Its stipulations then be-
come commands and can be enforced.
Let 1t be signed in duplicate, SO that
each party may have an original.
BE careful in selecting your tenant.
There Is more In the man than there
Is In the bond. Insert such covenants
as to repairs, manner Of use, and in
restraint Of waste as the circum.
stances call for. AS to particular stip-
lstions examine leases drawn by those
who have had long experience in rent
Ing farms, and adopt such as meet
your case. There should be covenants
against assigning and underletting.
IF the tenant is of doubtful respon.
sibility, make the rent payable in in
stallments. A covenant that the crops
shall remain In the lessons till the
lessees contracts with him have been
fulfilled Is valid against the lessee's
creditors. In the ordinary case Of
renting farms on shares the courts
will treat the crops as the joint prop
erty Of lord and tenant, and thus pro.
tect the formers rights Every lease
should contain stipulations for forfeit.

CHAPTER VII.

Frankel and Sothern went down the
hall from Betty Lancey's room after
the clerk and his companion, who was
80 excitedly seeking the papers that
had blown out of the window and q
couple Of bell boys.
We'll go right down through the
bar, It's the quickest" they overheard
the clerk say as the couple passed to
await the elevator. The two newspa-
per men ian down to the next floor,
caught the car at the second landing
and rode to the first floor with the
clerk and his plainly excited compan-
ion.
The bar was closed and while one
clerk procured the keys for entrance
Frankel covertly watched the man,
and Sothern nonchalantly strolled over
to the clerk behind the desk
who Is that man?" he queried. II
don't mean the little Jew, but the dark,
handsome fellow there? He has such

"So?" asked the clerk. "They have
been here at frequent intervals this
last year or two. Don't know much
about them, except that his name is
Harcourt-Harold Harcourt-and they

one of the bell boys. "Old lady in E22

The only way to raise chickens in
large numbers In short space of time
and have them at the right time to
get the biggest prices for them is to
use incubators and brooders. BY the
use of the hen for Matching and brood
ing, enough chickens can not be raised
in season to make 1t pay. Many Of
my customers tell me that they would
rather take care Of 100 chicks In a

Hints About the Farm.

All COWS that are weak, extremely
thin and coughing must be removed
from the herd.
Let the sheep CLEAN over the grain
and cornfields II the land is free from
burs and cookies.
Pals, cans, strainers. coolers and
every other utensil that comes in con.
tact with the milk should be washed
and sterilized.
Farmers who have given cowpeas
fair trial have almost invariably con.
tinued their use along with their
other staple crops
Frequent plowing will gave larger
average crop with an equal amount OF
fertilizer, but 1t mosts more to pro-
duce and Is more work to harvest
With good grass land 1t is consid-
cred that the plan Of moderate top
dressing with chemicals bringe larg-
er income for the labor employed than
any other sytem of management

During an experiment in Cornell
University few years ago the aver
age feed cost for eggs throughout the
year was about 8 cents per dozen.
Other experimenters give the cost of
eggs In winter at Is cents per dozen
and in summer S1a cents. Under the
present prices Of feed eggs would cost
about IL cents per dozen, but 1t must
be remembered that on the farm the
hen picks up the most part OF her liv-
ing from the waste material that is
scattered over the farm, so that the
cost of dozen eggs is very small
item of cash outlay.
