Arrangements have been made for
two weeks summer school at Ames,
from June 12 to %. This summer
course will be mainly for the benefit
of teachers, who find 1t impossible to
attend the winter short course. The
summer work will also be valuable
for country preachers and others who
have desire to learn more about
agriculture.
Work will be offered in the certifi-
cate branches, and in farm crops. ami
NAL husbandry, soil, farm mechanics,
horticulture, dairying, cooking, sew
ing, home management and other sim
liar subjects.
The college farm and grounds will
be at their best during the summer
school. The entire college equipment,
including laboratories. live stock,
buildings and fields and plots will be
at the disposal of the summer school
students. This summer school offers
a splendid opportunity to teachers and
others who wish to learn more about
The principles of agriculture. Further
particulars can be obtained by writing
to Dean C. F. Curtiss, Ames, Iowa.

The
sed to the HerdW

The quality Of the silage improves
as the depth increases, due to the
weight above. The usual silo today is
80 or more feet deep. A larger per-
centage of moldy or otherwise inferior
silage is found near the top of silo
than at the center or near the bottom,
proving that certain weight is neces-
sary to compress the silage and ex-
clude the air SO as to insure it's per-
feet preservation. BY building deep
silo greater percentage of good
silage is obtained, which is, of course,
matter of economy. Good practice
at present seems to dictate that the
depth should be at least 80 feet. Some
limitation in height may be neces-
sary in silos of light construction on
account Of the wind, or the strength
of the walls to resist crumpling, but
In masonry silos greater height than
the average is advisable A large per-
centage Of good silos are built con-
siderably deeper, even 80 to so feet.
The capacity of silo varies as the
square Of the diameter. while the wall
surface varies directly as the diane
ter. This means that as far as ca
pacity Is concerned the silo should be
of as large diameter as possible. But
there are other limiting factors in
volved. When silage is left exposed
to the air for short time, more than
a day, it spoils. Enough must be
removed daily so that it will keep
fresh. In we'll settled silage the air
does not penetrate much over an inch,
and if " to 2 inches are fed from the
surface daily the silage will remain
fresh. In warm weather the spelling
will take place much more rapidly
than in cold weather, requiring that
silage be removed from the surface to
greater depth each day in order to
keep it fresh. 1t has been noticed also
that air penetrates into loose, dry
silage farther than it does into that
which is moist and compact Thus
1t is seen that under some circum-
stances an inch might be sufficient
but in order to have fresh silage un-
der all circumstances the silo should
be of such size that approximately
two inches will be fed from the sur
face each day. After silage has been
placed in the silo there is more or
less settling, the amount of which
will depend on the condition of the
silage and the amount of tramping it
is given when the silo Is filled In
der average conditions the settling
will amount to about one-sixth or one
fifth of the total depth. Where one
silo is used it should be of such a
depth to provide for the feeding sea-
son by removing the necessary amount
each day. Thus If the silo has 80 feet
of silage in it after settling, 1t will
provide silage for 180 days or six
months by removing two inches from
the surface each day.
The following table gives the capac-
ity of various sizes Of round silos and
the amount which must be fed daily
to lower the surface about two inches
per day. This table assumes that the
silage is made of well-matured corn

How About TheESilYer Set?

Don't you need good, serviceable
silver set that will hold it's color forever

If you know anything about silver
ware values, you know that the price of

than it is really worth But it is sent
for So on subscription and 80 cts addi-
tional. Doesn't this look like getting

and that after the silo has been filled
and allowed to settle for two days
it is retilled to the top. The amount
which should be fed daily is based
upon an average weight of 40 pounds
per cubic foot. By examining the
table the economy of increasing the
depth of the silo is observed. A silo
16 feet in diameter and 80 feet deep
will contain 119 tons of silage, while
if it's depth be 40 feet it will contain
$50 tons, or one-half more.

Sleep and Happiress.

DR.. Henry Smith Williams, who
wrote THE Science OF Happiness" ia
an advocate of early rising. He made
1t almost a gospel in his book. and
although he requires only about six
hours sleep himself he practices what
he breaches and rises early. While
writing THE Science OF Happiness"
he cut this period an hour or even
two hours shorter for weeks at a
stretch, not burning midnight oil, but
retiring at comparatively early hour
and rising correspondingly early. AS
an example. Dr. Williams cites the
elder Pliny. 1T appears that In sum-
mer lie always began his studies as
