STORING CROPS FOR WINTER
Cellar Should Be Carefully Cleaned
and All Defects In Walls Made
Tight With Mortar.
(By WALTER B. LEUTz.)

Have the cellar carefully cleaned be-
fore storing away any of the winter
supply. If there are defects in the
wall make them tight with mortar. Ii
the windows are loose, repair them.
These little things may be the means
of saving the entire contents of the
cellar.
If the potatoes incline to rot, sort
carefully and put in no questionable
specimens. Dust the seemingly per-
feet ones with lime.
If the winter squashes are picked
before they become fully ripe they
will be much more apt to mold and
rot.
Make the cabbage heads which in
cline to burst into kraut. If you fear
trouble in keeping 1t cook part and
put into cans, sealing with parafin.
The solid heads need not be put into
the cellar until November, but may be
left growing.
Do not despise the small beets, tur-
nips and apples. The stock will need
them If you do not. And 1t is aston
fishing how much stuff of this kind
chickens require to keep them at their
best. Give them the parings now and
save the small fruit or vegetables for
winter use.
If you have more stuff than you
need and it is not of sufficiently good
quality to offer for sale, perhaps some
neighbor could use it to advantage.
Many a poor man is glad to get even
the culls and windfalls from large
orchard-and the latter is the better
for their removal.

GARDEN and
FARM NOTES

Keep weeds from going to seed.
Plant satisfy vegetable oyster) for
next spring.
Don't try to save money by buy
ing cheap seed.
Farm tests are worth more than
all the theories.
Don't SOW alfalfa seed on very re-
Gently plowed land.
Continue the cultivation, and keep
up the fight against weeds.
It is none too early to commence
blowing for the 1913 crops.
Guernsey cattle are prime favorites
in the dairy sections of the west.
No animal on the farm should
suffer from hunger, thirst or cold.
There never were better oppor-
tunities in vegetable garden than to-
day.
Build silo and save much of the
fodder that would otherwise go to
waste.
Go after the extra strawberry vines
and cut them out. Do not be afraid
to slash them.
Beet green's are extremely edible
at eight weeks Of age, even II the
roots are only nubbins.
Two of the best acreage-saving
money-making propositions up to the
farmers today are silage and alfalfa.
Stormy days should not be idle days
on the farm. Look about and zee II
you cannot find some profitable work.
II you intend to allow that second
crop OF clover to be plowed under, 1t
viii not hurt to pasture it from this
on.
Set out celery plants which are to
be used for a late crop, and bank the
plants which were set out in june or
July.
Now the boys are looking forward
with keen anticipation to the winter
at the agricultural college. Do not
disappplnt them.
A thrifty farmer can well AFFORD to
spend deceit sum on good paint
with which to brighten up the busI6

ADVANTAGES OF GOOD sIL0
Size OF Receptacle Should Be Adapted
10 Number Of Head Of Animals
TO Avoid Spelling.
(By PROF. w. M. EATON, Connecticut
Experiment Station.)

(By PROF. w. M. EATON, Connecticut
Experiment Station.)
One of the greatest advantages OF
the silo Is that it can be made to tide
over the time when there is serious
diminution of green pasture feed dur
ing July and August. The question
of the size of silo becomes very Inn
portant. During the warmest part Of
the year silage spoils very rapidly
where 1t comes in contact with air.
Spoiled silage Is dangerous sub
stance to feed. Besides tainting the
milk and upsetting the digestion of
the COW, 1t often becomes poisonous.
To avoid this, it is necessary to feed
off each day from one and a half to
two inches. If this is done the silage
does hot have time to change or fer
ment much. A silo IS feet in diameter
will feed AZ animals; 16 feet in di-
ameter 33 animals, and IL feet will
feed 20 animals. IL the herd is large
enough. two silos of different di-
ameters are great economic con-
venfence. For the winter feed use the
large diameter, ane for summer the
small one. Another advantage is in
filing One will be settling while the
other Is being filed and one-third
more silage can be put in both. The
tall, narrow silo is better than the
broad low one. The loss is much less.
Taking all things into consideration,
it is evident that a round, wooden
stave silo is the best. And wooden
sflo, If taken care Of as it always
should be, can be made to last as long
as a wooden building. Certain proc
esses can be applies to the wood, such
as soaking it in some wood preserva-
tive or applying asphaltum and creo-
sote substances to the bottom of the
slaves for few feet, keeping the
other outside areas well painted.
These are factors which would deter
mine the lasting qualities of a silo.
The size of the silo should be
adapted to the size of the herd. A
tall silo with rather narrow di-
ameter is preferable. Silage is pre-
served best with the least loss IN a

Must Xiii Rats to Get Rid of Plague Danger

1t would be preferable to resort to the
more rapid means Of passive immuniz-
alton by the use of anti-Dlague serum
either alone or In connection with In
Ioculation. Workers in plague labora-
tories and hospitals. rat catchers. fu-
migators, etc., should be inoculated at
least once every six months.
The use of anti-plague serum for
the immunization of whole commu-
nifty is altogether impracticable, be-
cause of It's excessive cost, the limit
ed supply available. the short duration
of the immunity conferred, and the ex-
cessive discomfort and actual danger
accompanying the repeated admins
tration of serum at such intervals as
would be necessary to maintain i'm
munity.
The governments conclusions indi-
cate that if the country is to be kept
free from plague next summer. the
work of rat determination must be
carried on increasingly, regardless of
the cold weather.
incubation consists In injecting into
a person solution of killed or attenu-
ated living plague bacilli. Passive inn
munization consists in injecting into
