The size Of the silo must, of course,
depend on the amount of stock to be
fed, as a certain amount must be fed
each day to keep the top layer from
spelling. Narrow and deep is the right
construction. and the deeper the bet
ter. as each added foot gives added
weight to the silage and helps to make
1t more solid and exclude the air. To
insure long service wooden silos should
be lathed and plastered or bricked on
the inside. This keeps the silage from
coming in contact with the wood and
does not permit of that wetting and
drying which soon decay the wood.
If silo is made too large in diameter.
and this is Il very frequent error, one
of two things will happen-either the
siage will be moldy all the time, ow-
ing TO the inability to feed it down rap
idly enough, or else the COWS will be
fed more than they should have in an
attempt to keep ahead of the molding.

Management Of Bears.

The careless methods employed by
some breeders in their management Of
bOarS accounts for Il goOdly part Of
the bad luck" in swine raising, says a
Missouri hog raiser. Allowing the boar
to run with the herd is common
practice that should be discontinued
Following his animal instincts. the
boar soon saps away his vitality. The
animal also worries other members Of
the herd, especially the younger sows,
and le is even liable to cause serious
injury in such cases as we'll as get
some with pig at too early an age for
them to make suitable brood Sows.
Besides, his changeable moods make
him dangerous animal To have run
ming at large. Often one Of them sud
denly becomes vicious and turns on
the first person he encounters. The
tusks should be removed from the
boar's mouth early in his career in or
der to guard against all possible acct
dents.
The only safe plan of managing the
boar is to have a lot and quarters ex-
pressly for combining him in and fur
nishing him plenty Of exercise and
sunlight. Thus managed he will re-
main quiet and tractable.

MILK FEVER TREATMENT.
Proper Method of Injecting Air Into
the Cows Udder.

The air treatment for milk fever is
simple one. The apparatus manu-
featured by several companies makes
it easy to initiate the udder with air
and is nothing more or less than a BIZ
cycle pump modified, Of course, to do
this work to better advantage, says
Hoards Dairynan. A bicycle pump
may be used in the absence of the
pump manufactured especially for this
purpose.
The end Of the instrument is at
tached to a small tube which is in
serted in the end of the teat. Care
should be taken to sterilZe the tube in
boiling water or corrosive sublimate;
also to wash the end Of the teat, as
there is great danger of doing more
harm than good to the udder. After
the tube is inserted in the teat the
operator forces the air into the udder
with the pump. Each quarter is in
inflated. and care should be taken not
to distend the udder too much. In the
treatment of milk fever and garget it
is customary to place rubber bands
around each teat to prevent the air
from escaping too rapidly. For milk
fever it sometimes requires a second
injection, but if the bands are used
one treatment is usually enough.
For garget the udder is not filled
quite so full as for milk fever and
after the udder is inflated it is thor

very clearly the degree to which
he is affected. One can tell a

OPERATE A SEED EXCHANGE
Concrete Illustration Of Benefits That
Can 30 Derived From Farm
Cooperation.

Farmers Of Meeker county, Mimi,
have struck on novel plan for co.
operative marketing Of farm produce,
says the Prairie Farmer. In this
county there are about dozen small
clubs Of farmers which are united In
one central club. They have a build.
Ing at the county seat in which any
farmer can place on display any sam.
pie Of grain or seed that he may have
for sale. He is required to attach to
the sample the amount that is for sale,
also price and his name and address.
Mr.. A. D. Wilson, an extension worker
In the state. comments on the plan
as follows:
This plan makes It convenient for
a farmer, looking for seed for any
crop. to find out whether or not he
can get that seed In his own county:
and II he can get 1t. to save the extra
expense Of one farmer selling his seed,
shipping 1t to the city. then the other
man buying 1t and shipping It back.
Clover that can be bought Of farmer
for 16 cents per pound would cost 20
cents per pound. at least. II 1t had to
go through the ordinary channels Of
the seed trade.
THE same idea can be carried out
regarding the transfer Of live stock.
There is no doubt but that the estab.
lishment Of seed exchange In most
Of the trading centers Of the state
would be very great benefit to our
farmers. and insure the wide distribu.
tion Of homegrown hardy seeds"
This Is certainly concrete illustra.
tion Of the benefits to be derived
from farm cooperation. and should be
stimulus to some inactive farmers
clubs.

drapery should be light and durable
like the hat, and In spite Of Its fragile
appearance chiffon may be repeatedly
washed.
The owner Of a panama hat should
not use hatpins to fasten It on with.
Hat fasteners should be sewed to the
head band and thrust into the hair to
secure the hat to the head. 1t is al.
most a crime to thrust pins through
the beautiful. painstaking weave Of
which the hat is made. The evidence
Of carelessness shows lack Of ap.
probation. When one sees fine pa.
mama punctured with holes II is q
mark Of inelegance in the wearer.

CONTROL OF COTTON MARKET

They realize that 1t will be neces-
sary for them to proceed upon diff.

greater scheme that grains and money

ming the farmers Of the south, says
the Farmers Union News.
II the farmers are permitted to

evident that they will be permanent

Sully and Hammond thought that
they had the scheme-and, no doubt,
they did, II it had not been opposed
by which they could unhorse the
farmers.
Quietly, there is being an effort
made in some sections to promote a
similar plan to have the speculator
located in the south.
Every citizen living In the south.
whose love for his country is equal
to his selnshness. should be suficient.
ly interested in the welfare Of the
south to oppose any scheme that will
take from the farmer the control of
