try In the civilized world at some sea-
son OF the year. With us the most
dangerous time Is In July and August
which are usually droughty periods,
when the grass is short and flies are
bad. We are finding out that by
having summer silo we can provide
pasture out of the silo until the rains
come in the fall.
Some OF the readers may shake
their heads at this, but we are telling
them agricultural gospel truth. They
may say: While we often have these
dry periods in July and August, we do
not always have them. Some years
We have excellent pastures. True, but
your silage will keep almost as we'll
as the fruit your wife keeps over from
year of abundance to a year of want
Last year we fed on one of the farms
belonging to the Wallace family silage
that was two years old. Apparently it
was just as good as the year 1t was
made.
Why do we talk about 1t now? Be-
cause, If you are going to have a silo
this fall for either winter or summer
use. you ought to be thinking about
1t; not about the building of it or the
cost OF 1t. although it is worthy of
thought, but where you will plant
your corn to necessitate the least haul
Ing and diminish the expense: abou,
what kind of silage you want. whether
rich with corn or scant in corn. You
can determine that by the thickness
OF planting. II you want silage rich
IN corn to fatten steers. you want to
plant itAs you do for the market-for
the maximum Of ears; but if you want
1t to feed to the dairy COWS and want
large yield OF stock with small grain
yield, you must plant it thick
The main reason we are tall,ing
anout 1t now Is because to put up a
si'o and use it economically you want
to enlist the cooperation of yonr
neighbors. The same silage cutter

We have been laboring In season
and out of season to induce farmers
to build silos. The silo is no longer
an experiment 1t has been used by
dairymen with success for thirty
years. 1t was for long time supposed
that it could only be used in dairying,
says the Wallace Farmer. We have
found out now that it Is almost as val
liable to the man who grows stock as
to the man who milks cows. We are
finding out that silage very materially
decreases the cost of putting a pound
of beef onto feeding steer. We have
found out that 1t is good for the eve,
for the brood sows, and for young
stock Of all kinds as we'll as for dairy
cattle. The only animal on the place
to which it is not safe to feed 1t is the
horse; just why we do not know. 1t is
perhaps entirely safe If of good quail
ity, but dangerous If moldy.
We are finding out still more about
silage. namely, that by using sum
mer silo, one about half the size Of the
winter one, we can bridge over the
droughts. which come in every coun-

Suppose you cannot I'LL one mans
silo before it Is dry; you can easily
remedy that by putting In water. We
have done it and it works finely. You
can even take the corn that stands In
the field ready for husking and make
good silage out OF 1t II you put In
water enough; or you can plant some
sorghum and corn. and let the abun-
dance OF moisture in the sorghum
make for the deficiency in the corn.
All these things are worth thinking
about. What we want to impres'
upon your minds just now is that you
cannot afford not to build silo If you
are in the stock business. You can
no more do without manure spread

things that are well settled over most
of our territory. There are sections.

TO PREVENT SOIL BLOWING
Planting Of Windbreaks viii Temper
Force Of Winds and Prevent Loss
Of Much Land.

The older q country becomes and
the drier the season is. the greater Is
the danger of the wind blowing away
the best part of the soil. The windier
the country, and the less timber and
hedge rows and windbreaks there are
the greater the danger OF blowing,
says Wallace's Farmer. There Is not
much danger of 1t when a new prairie
sod Is broken up, because the vegeta-
BILE fiber holds the soil together in a
surprising way. There is not much
danger when the land is well sup
piled with vegetable matter through
the application of manure or in any
other way. The danger increases with
the absence of windbreaks and with
the decrease of vegetable matter In
the soil through continual cultivation.
The danger is always greater when
the surface Of the land Is smooth, as
after it has been rolled or grain has
This will indicate the best method of
prevention.
We are told that there are large
areas In Canada where the land has
been farmed a number of years, where
warranty deed, no matter by whom
given, will not hold the land. The
same condition OF things will exist In
the newly settled west, particularly In
the semi-arid section, II the land is
given over continuously to the cultiya,
tion of crops.
A good soil contains only about two
per cent. of vegetable matter. and
when this Is reduced to one per cent,
which will certainly be the case II
rational system Of farming Is not al
lowed, these soils will blow when
there is wind. Hence the remedy
Is: Keep your soil in some way as
full OF vegetable matter as it was when
the raw prairie was first broken up.
Plant windbreaks. We were greatly
impressed thirty years ago with the
difference in the force Of the winds In
the adjoining counties of Madison and
Adair. Madison county was settled up
many years before Adair, and when
ever we passed from Madison into
Adair county we noticed that the
winds had increased force. In the early
settlement of Madison county, wind.
breaks were planted, thus causing the
winds to rise as they passed over,
leaving the fields in a comparative
calm. while the prairies were wind.
swept. One can scarcely realize the
difference that windbreak each mile
would make In the force Of the winds.
Hence the planting of windbreaks,
even II only around the house and
barns, but much more II in long belts
to the west, will temper the force OF
the winds and prevent soil blowing.
Next, avoid leaving a smooth sur.
face for the winds to blow over. In
these sections no roller which leaves
the land smooth should be used for
any purpose, unless Immediately fol.

supplied with vegetable matter, which
can be done only by the adoption of a

HoED CROP PROFITABLE

The more l study the value of in.
tense culture and thorough cultivation
given some hoed crop the more have
come to appreciate it's value in our
crop rotations. No practical farmer
who has given some hoed crop thor.
ough cultivation during the whole of

good effects upon the succeeding crops
in the rotation that they are prac.
ticing.
Years ago the old practice OF bare
summer following found favor in
many farming sections, but during re-
cent years the decreased price of farm
products and the decreased cost of
labor has made its use actually pro-
hibitive, besides the practical farmers
