fty of silage, obviates the necessity of
putting up corn that is too green or
too dry and is also the more economical
way. With rapid filling a second fill.
ing is usually necessary about ten
days after the first slage has been
put in. The more uniformly and thor
oughly the silage is packed down as it
is put in the better the quality and the
longer it will keep. In distributing the
silage the outer edge should, be kept
about two feet higher than the center
and kept especially well packed The
work of tamping may be done by foot
but cement hampers give even better
results. This tends to make the silo
more completely air tight and reduces
loss from mold to minimum. In the
case of wooden silos any opening that
would let air into the silage should be
filled with soft clay. In case the corn
used is overmature and dry the silage
should be moistened as it is run in In
topping off the silo some use chaff or
cut straw; others soak the top with
water and seed with oats, which sprout
and form a nearly air tight mat. The
cost of filling the s.lo varies with diff
ferent outfits from 40 cents to 81 per
ton-that is, this is the total cost from
the standing corn in field to the shred
ded product packed in the silo. The
larger the outfit the lower the cost of
filling, as a rule. The process of fer
mentation which converts the green
corn into silage requires about ten
days. If not used at once the top,
which is likely to become moldy, should
be removed and used as manure. as
the feeding of it is often accompanied
with serious results.

tween meridian 100 and the Rocky
mountains, but simply as a warning to
some who have made entry on home
steads in the semiarid country and
who have had no experience with dry
farming methods, we would bring two
or three things to their attention which
NAV save them a lot of grief In the
end In the country referred to, where
the annual rainfall is less than sixteen
or eighteen inches per year, 1t is only
practicable to raise crop every otner
wear. the land having to lie fallow each
alternate season In order that enough
moisture may be stored up to insure
crop the following year. This means
that one must have considerable ready
cash before starting out In such a dry
country. not only for the purchase OF
necessary equipment for the working
of half section or more of land Ut

but a surplus to tide one over seasons
when nothing Is produced. 1t Is wen
TO remember, too, that in years OF ex-
IRENE drought, such as the last two
have been, practically nothing can
be produced. In one instance the
writer knows of a homesteader who
vent TO the country referred to has
had lust one decent paying crop IN
eleven wears. A little was produced In
three or four other seasons. but hardly
enough to furnish forage for the am,
mails which had to be kept on the
farm. This may be an extreme eA-
nerience. but 1t is cited as showing
