REASONS FOR TIE SlL0.
Good Ensilase Is a Necessity on Every
Dairy Farm

Iood ensilage Is Necessity on every
Dairy Farm.
The silo makes 1t possible for the
farmer to d. for his stock what the
housewife does for her family. We
take the crop of corn when 1t is at its
prime, gather 1t and store 1t in the
silo for feed during the winter, says
Kimball's Dairy Farmer. or course
other crops may be used. but corn is
always preferable. Anything that has
hollow straw does not make such
good silage because 1t does not pack
so well, and 1t is difficult to exclude
all of the air, and air Is what spoils
silage. You will notice this If you
find small hole or crack in the silo
All about this the feed will be decayed
until the decayed matter seals over
the mass of the silage, preventing the
air from working further injury. This
explains why any substance having a
hollow straw Is not easily preserved.
In filling the silo remember that II
is Of extreme Importance to pack the
feed very carefully over the entire
surface. II Is sometimes considered
best to keep the middle little higher
than the outer edges. but In no in.
stance should one neglect this part, for
the walls of the silo have tendency
to retard settling, and unless the silage
is packed so as to exclude all of the
air 1t will not keep satisfactorily.
Silage is good from the day 1t is put
into the silo until the last particle has

INTERCOASTAL RIGHT-OF-

While Mr.. Locke'S office as secre-

that he shall be the person to
whom to look for right-of-way
yet he has willingly encountered

ed. and only yesterday, after
months Of personal visitation, let
ter writing and other methods,
procured the right for the canal
to Mass through the entire parish.
Mr.. Locke is to be congratulate
ed. In all of this work he has
never once resorted to the courts
in an ex-appropration suit, which
would have been the quickest way
in many instances. Instead he has
argued, illustrated and finally
convinced all of the land owners
along the proposed right OF way
that the canal will be a great
blessing of them, securing their
consent.
Now that the right-of-way has
been obtained the actual building
of the canal will start within a

was before the people. Two years
ago the parish went dry by a
vote of over 40 votes. This cIec-

which no small amount of parish
politics was injected. One year

well for their foresight and pro

are Informed. Mr.. Crosby has been
given the rights of way along his

proper spirit, as it will be not only
a great convenience for the resi-
