BY means of the silo corn can be
used to supplement the pasture during
the dry season and in this way keep
up the stock in splendid shape. OF
course corn could be cut and fed to
the stock as a soiling crop. This,
however, will require more work and
it does not allow of the corn being
cut when it has the greatest food val
ue, as is the case when it is put into
the silo. The corn plant, when tas-
seled out, locks about as big as it ever
gets, still It has but one-fifth as much
food value as it will have when ripe.
1t is a good deal like the carpenter
building a house. In a very few days
he gets up the form, but it takes quite
awhile a finish up the interior. The
same way the corr plant gets up a
structure quickly, but it takes it con
siderable tine to complete the work
on the inside, which is making and
storing a lot Of food material, which
the stock can make use of.
So there II many reasons why the
silo should find q place On every farm.

Use Of Mail Order ~"Bargains" Is Injus-
tice to Your Descendants.
It's all very we'll for you to think
you're doing yourself justice by buying
your supplies from the big city many
miles away, but in the long run you're
doing an injustice to your descendants,
who are supposed to live in the town
which you are killing off by neglecting
to patronize home industries.
You may save an occasional nickel
by ordering bargains through mail
order catalogues. but don't you lose at
least a nickel's worth Of your self re-
spect when you happen to meet n of
the home merchants whom you have
known all your life and from whom
you could get the same bargain?
If you are a farmer and sell your
produce to the local stores and then
stick stamps on letters ordering ordi-
nary household articles from a city
many miles away wouldn't you think it
the proper sort of reciprocity if the
town merchants should quit dealing in
fresh vegetables and supply only ear
ned goods to their customers?
People who keep up the habit of buy
ing mail order goods on the slightest
pretext OF p%rovocation may expect to
hear it said some day that there is no
money in circulation around home.
Why? They send it outside of the com
munity.

WHY THE sILo?
BY Professor w. C.. Palmer,
North Dakota Agricultural
College.


Why should a farmer have a silo?
1t is the cheapest building that can be
put up on the farm, when the amount
OF food that can be stored in it is
considered. The ensilage is in a most
convenient form to feed and is always
ready, winter or summer. In fact it
is the same as pasture for the dairy
cows, so the silo virtually makes it
possible to have pasture the year
round.
Corn produces more per acre than
any other crop. 1t is, however, diff
cult to handle. If it is put up into a
large stack it contains so much mois-
ture that it will mold and again the
stock will waste considerable of it, if
fed as fodder. After it has gone
through the silo there is practically
no waste. The fermentation softens
up the stalks somewhat and being cut
up into short pieces and being sue
culent they seem to be about as palat-
able as the leaves. So that about the
only way that the full food value of
the corn plant can be utilized is to put
1t into the silo. Leaving the corn in
the shocks in the field until it is need
ed is a very disagreeable way of hand
ling it so that this is practically out
of the question.
North Dakota, having a rather small
rainfall, pasture will not produce as
%abundantly as in sections with a lar

TREATING SEED.
Grain Should Be Moistened in SoIu.
ton of FormaIdehyde.

Before grain is sown it should be
treated in order to ward off certain
diseases. Wheat is treated for stink
ing smut, barley and oats for loose
smut and fax for the disease known
as flax wilt. For the purpose of treat
ment a solution of formaldehyde is
generally made up consisting of one
pound of 40 per cent formaldehyde to
forty-tive gallons of water. Any de-
vice for treating may be used provided
that all of the grains are moistened
with the solution. Some prefer dip
ping and others prefer sprinkling and
shoveling. Efficient machines are on
the market for the treatment of grain.
IN treating flax some care needs to be
exercised TO prevent it from caking as
it is apt to do when too wet. Besides
largely preventing the disease above
mentioned, treatment of grain hastens
termination which is of much value
in dry climates. In ordinary season,
treated grain o%utyields the untreated
grain.
The proper depth for sowing wheat
is probably about two inches. At
Fargo a depth of two inches gave the
best yield. At Indian Head, Assini-
boia. with a rainfall much like that OF
Western North Dakota, wheat seeded
two inches deep, in a series of eight
years, yielded two bushels more than
that seeded three inches deep. Oats
and barley may be seeded somewhat
deeper than wheat, although in many
instances in dry climates, these grains
sown two inches deep yielded as much
as when more deeply sown. Grain
should be seeded more deeply on light
er than on heavier soil. When the
season is dry, grain may be sown as
deeply as four inches if such sowing
is necessary to get the grain into
moist earth.-Superintendent T.. r
Waldron.
