the roads in the township, or thirty
miles of roads twenty times at fifty
cents per mile, which ought to be
enough in any season. Beside the
automobile tax will amount to some
thing like $4,000 in this county. 1t
goes to the county supervisors to be
used in making culverts and dragging
roads, and it seems to me that they
ought to be able to furnish something
like a hundred dollars to each town
ship out oil that sum to assist you in
dragging and they will likely do so
unless they have other arrangements
for the expenditure of that money.
Now how are you going to eXpend
this dragging fund wisely? If the
Superintendent of dragging is to ride
over the township and tell the people
when to drag, you just as well draw a
warrant TO him for your $500 now and
call the dragging off, for he will earn
it all anyway, but il you SO enforce
this law, that his duty shall be mere
ly to contract with faithful and com
petent men to do the dragging, giving
them the cards, them to notify him
when the dragging Isl done, he has
only to count the cards to know how
much money has been expended, and
who is doing the dragging, and his
labOrs will be merely nominal and the
dragging funds will bring results. Al
all events follow the advice of your
County Attorney, Mr.. Witham, as TO
the law and its fufiIment. and go iIl
in earnest and we will get results.

is for good looks and not utility.
After you are all through, run
some straw on and wet it down.
Then sow some oats on it. Why!
The silage will seal itself by
spelling whatever is on top.
You had better let it spoil straw
that has little feeding value than
let it spoil corn, which has large
feeding value. In either case,
you will have to discard the top
before you begin to feed.

Mistakes in Building
and Filling SiIOs.

We notice as we travel thru
the country that silos are going
up on every side. We are glad
of it. It indicates that the teach
ings of Wallaces' Farmer and
other up-to-date farm papers,
and the teachings of the agri-
cultural colleges and experiment
stations are beginning to take
hold. 1t is a new thing, this
silo building, and when men
take hold of it for the first time,
they are likely to make mistakes.
One mistake is in building a
silo too big. You should figure
on the amount of stock you have
to feed. Figure about thirty
pounds a day to every thousand
pounds of dairy cattle and young
stock and steers in the first stage
of feeding. Then figure your
silo so that you will take of not
less than two inches a day in the
winter, and not less than four
inches in the summer. If you
take off less than this your silage
will deteriorate with exposure,
says Wallace's Farmer.
Another mistake you are likely
to make is to plant some new
tangled kind of corn, that will
grow bulk instead of substance.
Just take the kind of corn you
are accustomed to growing. II
you have planted it a little
thicker than you are accustomed
to, so much the better.
Remember that in putting up
silage you are after dry matter,
and not bulk nor water content.
There is no nutriment in water.
The nutriment is altogether in
the dry matter, and the amount
of nutriment the farmer get out
of it depends on the palatability
of the dry matter; for in a COW
as in man, the saliva flows more
freely if what is being eaten
tastes good, and hence digestion
is more perfect. Plant the or
binary kind of corn; and if you
have planted it the same thick
ness that you do for ears, don't
fret. You are all right, any
how, though you might have
got more total feeding value il
you had planted it a little
thicker.
Don't begin to cut your corn
for silage untilit begins to glaze,
for the simple reason that ma
ture has not yet done her work,
has not finished putting feeding
value in the ear and the stalk.
