FIRES HARMFUL IN WOODS
SPRING BURNING DOES THE
MOST DAMAGE.
BY J. A. Ferguson, Professor Of For
estry, University Of Missouri.

Forest fires are most likely to occur
during the fall and spring, when the
ground is covered with dry leaves and
twigs. At such times every precau-
ton should be token 10 prevent their
burning In the wood lot, for they do
great damage 10 the trees. II Is gen.
orally believed that greater damage is
done to trees by the fall fires, when
the ground is dry and the fire burns
deep through the leaves, than by
spring fires. when only the upper lay.
err of leaves Is dry and the fire burns
lightly over the ground. But just the
opposite Is true, Spring fires do the
most damage, because Mt this time the
trees are becoming active. They are
full of sap and the young buds are
beginning to swell and the tender
shoots to form.
In this condition the trees are more
likely TO be scorched than in the dor
mant fall condition, Trees are more
seriously injured by scorching than by
actual burning. Because trees do not

The soil is also injured by the fires
so that the trees cannot grow so we'll.

DAIRY CALF BEST IN FALL
University of Missouri Dairy Gives
Reasons Therefor.

Many dairy farmers hold to the idea
that the calf should come in the spring
TO take advantage Of the grass. The
practice at the University OF Missouri
dairy Ia In favor of fall calves. The
reasons are several
The spring calf is just passing the
weaving stage in hot weather. and he
is In danger Of digestive trouble. Flies
poster him and prevent the best
growth. At the time when he needs
the best food, grass becomes dry and
unpalatable. And II he is raised on
skim milk. as all calves should be. It
is difficult to keep the milk always in
first.class condition.
Furthermore. the spring calf needs
care at the same time that the corn
and all the other crops need attention.
Usually the crops get the attention
and he calf is stunted instead.
II a calf is dropped in the fall he
starts his life on dry food. with no
flies, no soured milk and plenty OF
time for care. He is weaned along In
the spring. when the grass Ia about
ready to start, and he has the best
possible opportunity to stretch out
and make vigorous growth during
his second six months. The best dairy
authorities are agreeing that the fall
calf has the better chance in life.

CROPS To GROW FOR S|LO
CORN is PRE-EMlNENTLY THE
GREAT sILo CROP.
C. II. Eckles, Professor Of Dairyno.
University OF Missouri.

The silo has been tried as means
of preserving nearly all the common
crops grown on the farm. However, It
cannot be said TO be an unqualified
success except with few. Corn is
pre-eminently the crop for the s!lo.
The yield of total nutrients per acre
of this crop Is greater than is usually
secured from any other. II has the
further advantage OF packing well to
exclude the air and contains the prop
er amount Of sugar to form the acid
needed to preserve 1t without bccom-
ing too sour. The best results are
obtained as a rule by using the variety
of corn best adapted to the locality
and grown in the same manner as is
done when grown for grain.
Larger yields of silage per acre may
be secured from some of the sperial
varieties known as s!lagc corn, but
these produce less amount Of grain,
and the total feed value obtained Is
no more than from other varieties
grown for grain.

kaffir Corn for SiIage.

Numerous inquiries have been re.
Ceiyed in the last few years regarding
the use of kafnr corn for silage. This
crop is more closely related to the
sorghum plant than to the corn plant,
and when used for silagc makes a
quality of feed somewhat between the
two. 1t can be recommended only in
those sections of the country where
kaffir corn can be grown TO better adj
vantage than can ordinary field corn.
