PREPARING FOR THE WHEAT
A. c. Page, University Of Missouri,
College Of Agriculture.

Careful farmers are already prepar-
ing the seed bed for the wheat that
goes in this fall. One of the greatest
factors that limits the production of
wheat ordinarily is the poorly pre-
pared seed bed.
Prof. M. F. Miller of the Agronomy
Department of the University of Mis-
souri, ascribes the 'heaving" of wheat
to the looseness and Goodness Of the
lower layer of the bed. If the surface
is plowed and allowed to stand quite
a while, then is narrowed, the top will
appear to be smooth and in good con-
dition while the part a few inches
underneath will be made up of large
clods and openings. These openings
not only cut off the supply Of water
which should rise from the subsoil.
but in a wet time they will fill with
water and lift when a freeze comes.
The simplest remedy, and the most
effective one, for this coarseness in
Rthe lower part OF the seeded, is to
disk the ground thoroughly before
blowing 1t. Then there will be nc
clods that cannot be reached and
dealt with. Furthermore, the disked
surface will pillow with less horse
power, and the weeds will turn under
better.
Two things then, are extremely i'm
portant in preparing wheat land: One
is to disk before breaking; the other
is to do 1t soon enough SO that the
seeded will have time to settle wei
before seeding time. The moisture
will be started up and the seed will
have the best kind Of q start.

RED, ROUGH HANDS MADE
SOFT AND WHITE

For red, rough, chapped and bleed
ing hands, dry, assured, itching, burn
ing palms, and painful ~finger-ends,
with shapeless nails, a one-night Cuti-
cura treatment works wonders. d.
rections: Soak the hands, on retir-
ing, in hot water and Cuticura Soap.
Dry, anoint with Cuticura Ointment,
and wear soft bandages or old, loose
gloves during the night. These pure,
sweet and gentle emollients preserve
the hands, prevent ~redness, roughness
and chapping, and impart in a single
night that velvety softness and white
ness so much desired by women. For
those whose occupations tend to in
jure the hands, Cuticura Soap and Gu
ticura Ointment are wonderful.

THE MAKING OF BUTTER
A. c. Page, College Of Agriculture,
University of Missouri.

Farm butter is notoriously bad.
There is no denying it, much as we
would like to do honor to the products
OF the farm. Creamery butter is the
best, and the customer prefers It and
pays a better price for 1t. Why is
it SO?
1t is because the farmer, or the
farmers wife, or whoever attends to
the ALTERNATING has not learned to
be as careful with some certain de-
tails as the professional buttermaker
in the big creamery. Yet these things
are not SO difficult to attend to-
1t begins with the coy The milk
must be kept clean and 1t must there
fore come from clean cows. 1t must
be properly cared for so that 1t de-
yelops no bad fiavors. At the cream
cry they put in the kind of bacteria
they desire and get the flavor they
want. On the farm this can be at
tended to as well by keeping the
cream clean and at the proper tenn
p~erature.
Churning has a number OF details
that need more care. Overchurning,
making pasty, greasy butter, is per
haps the most common. The
creamery stops the churn as soon aa
the butter is in granules the size Of
wheat grains, but the farmers wife
often churns until the butter Is In 9
solid lump. This makes q difference,
Oyerworking it Is another thing that
gives this greasiness. A number o.
such details go together to make
better product. The farm should pro

LOSS IN THE STALK FIELDS
A. c. Page, University Of Missouri,
CoIleue OF Agriculture.

Time and again the story has been;
told of the tremendous waste that
goes on every year in the stalk field
because only the grain is harvested.
Time and again the farmer who uses
such a system has been compared to
the prodigal son who has never
learned the price Of q dollar. Yet this
yea again, it will be repeated-this
offense OF men against themselves.
prof. c. H. Eckles Of the Dairy De-
partment Of the University Of Mis-
souri, has said, "The farmer who
gathers his corr and allows the stalks
10 stand waving In the winter winds

For the last fifteen years all silos
have been built round, and this is the
only style recommended at present.
The essential things in silo construc-
ton are to have an afr tight wall,
smooth on the inside SO the silage can
settle properly and a structure
sufficiently strong to hold the enor
nous pressure of the silage, and dur
able enough so that it will not be
necessary to replace it for some time.
Successful silos have been built In
a variety of ways of different ma
terials, including wooden slaves, con-
crete, wood plastered with cement.
stone, wood, brick, iron and tile.
The most common silo found In
this state is the stave silo. This is
built on the plan of the stave water
tank. 1t is purchased ready to put
together, requiring only that the
foundation be made. A foundation is
built of concrete. The walls should
be about eight inches thick and
should extend two or three feet into
the ground. On this the silo Is
erected.
There are many types and forms oil
stave silos, and it is impossible to
say which is best. 1t is preferable
to use those having one piece slaves.
The continuous door is more con
venient. Little positive evidence is al
hand as to which wood is most suit
able and durable for silo building. The
following statement regarding the
average number of years wood will
remain without decay is supplied by
the Bureau Of. Forestry, U. $, Depart
ment Of Agriculture:
Average number
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1912-08-15
Average number
of years Of
life, untreated.

The stave silo preserves the silage
as well as any type in use. 1t is
easily erected and can also be taken
down If it is desired to move it. The
disadvantage of this type of silo Is
that 1t gives some trouble on account
of drying out, and attention must be
given to keeping the hoops at the
right tension. 1t should be fastened
securely with wire cables attached to
sleepers placed in the ground a short
distance from the structure, otherwise
it may blow over or collapse when
empty. The stave silo should be ex-
pected to last from ten to fifteen
years, depending upon the wood from
which it is made and other conditions,
Those that are made of wood treated
with creosote or other suitable wood
preservatives r more durable than
the ~untreated. The cost will vary and
can be easily obtained from agents.
In the central part of Missouri a
stave silo Is by 80 feet will cost about
$3.50 at the present time. This esti-
mate does not include the foundation.
The concrete silo may be built OF
blocks or with solid walls. The lat
sser is sometimes called monolithic.
I nc solid wall structure Is to bs
recommended as the best.
The advantages of a concrete silo
are that when once properly built 1t is
a permanent structure and is not
damaged by fire or wind or drying out.
