the winter the lime will become incor-

with manure directly. Lime has a

and the farmer has to guage his opera

THE slLo ON THE FARM SHOULD
.Ss BE MADE A FORAGE BANK
:: FOR CATTLE. $z.s ~

There Is produced every year in
this country sufficient forage to feed
liberally all the live stock OF the land,
and leave a good balance besides.
The shortage of supplies each year is
due to the spelling and wasting of
forage already grown, and the means
of preserving this forage will solve
the stock problem Of the country.
The principal waste Is now going on
with the corn plant. It is most no.
ticeable in the corn belt states where
perhaps eighty per cent OF the stalk
and leaves of this most valuable for
age is wasted annually. AS eco
nomic stock production is determined
by the proper use of forage, the silo
furnishes a means whereby all farm
forage can be preserved and placed
in the best possible condition TOR feed
ing. The silo ia too well known to
require a description of this method,
but its use is certainly sadly want
ing. It can be safely said, on any
farm where ten head or more of cattle
are kept, a silo is a proper equipment,
and of great economic value.
Besides corn, excellent silage may
be made from alfalfa, clover, oats
and peas, rye, sorghum, kaff1r corn,
millet and milo maize. While corn
is the principal crop for silage, it is
often found advisable to make silage
from other plants, especially during
drouth seasons, when excellent sor-
ghum and kaffir corn can be grown as
catch-up. The first cutting Of alf-
alta hay during the wet season is often
lost. This could be put in the silo
and saved, and by feedign out during
the summer months, the silo can be
reflled in the fall with corn Or kafdr
corn. %&.f
During recent years, we have noted
a steady increase in the price OF hay,
in fact, all forage has commanded a
very high price, and it is necessary
for the stockkeeper to produce "a for
age at less money than hay, if he
wishes to realize a good profit on his
stock. In this capacity the silo comes
as a great boon. l.
The use of the silo throughout the
year is finindg favor with many stock
keepers. 1t is quite difficult to OBJ
tain a profit on pasture, which is on
land worth 500 or more per acre
During drouth seasons, the pasture
IS often so poor that it affords little
rs&$no feed, but the interest on 1.-THE
investment, and the taxes must be
found. There is no question but whal
