ADVANTAGES OF GOOD SllO
Size of Receptacle Should Be Adapted to Humber of Head Of Animals
 to Avoid Spelling.

(By PROF. W NJ. EATON. Connecticut
 Experiment Station.)
 One of the greatest advantages of the silo is that Il can be made to tide over the time when there is a serious diminution of green pasture feed dur ing July and August. The question of the size of a silo becomes very i'm portant. During the warmest part of the year silage spells very rapidly where 1t comes in contact with air Spoiled silage is a dangerous sub stance to feed Besides tainting the milk and uPsetting the digestion of the COW. 1t often becomes poisonous. To avoid this, 1t is necessary to feed off each day from one and a half to two inches. If this is done the silage does not have time to change or fer ment much. 4 silo IS feet in diameter will feed 42 animals; l6 feet in di- ameter g animals. and 12 feet will feed % animals. Is the herd is large enough, two silos of different di- ameters are a great economic con yenienee. For the winter feed use the large diameter, and for summer the small one. Another advantage is in filling. One will be settling while the other is being filled and one-third more silage can be put in both. The tall, narrow silo is better than the broad low one. The loss is much less
 Taking all things into consideration, it is evident that a round, wooden staYe silo is the best. And a wooden silo, If taken care of as 1t always should be, can be made to last as long as a wooden building Certain proc esses can be applies to the wood, such as soaking it in some wood preserva- tive or applying asphaltum and ereo- sote substances to the bottom of the slaves for few feet, keeping the other outside areas we'll painted These are factors which would deter. mine the lasting qualities of a silo
 The size of the silo should be adapted to the size of the herd A tall silo with a rather narrow di- ameter is preferable Silage is pre- served best with the least loss in a

TO LEND MONEY
TO THE FARMER
Rural Credits Bill Introduced in
Both Houses.
SHORT TERM LOANS LATER,
fishing OF Farm Lands Banks
to Make Longtime
Loans.

Observation-Disclosures rural
credit bills were introduced simultane-
ously In the Senate and House by Sen
ator Fletcher, Of Florida, and Repre-
sentative Moss, of Indiana, members of
the commission President Wilson sent
abroad last summer to study foreign
systems. The bills were for long
term farm loans. Bills for short-term
loans will be introduced later.
The measures would establish in the
Treasury Department a bureau of
farmland banks under the direction of
a commissioner and make provision
for the formation of such banks in any
State under the Federal charter and
Federal inspection.
Any group Of farmers within a State
might organize cooperative farmland
banks with power to issue bonds to
raise funds from distant money mar
kets for farm development. Opera.
tons Of the individual banks would be
confined within State lines, though
supervision will be Federal, owing to
the variety of State laws bearing upon
land titles. taxation, foreclosure and
like subjects. They would be strictly
prohibited from doing "a city bust
ness"
Loans to farmers might not exceed
so per cent. of the value of improved
land, nor extend more than 35 years.
No institution could begin business
without a foundation capital and dou-
BILE liability provided for national
banks. The amount of long term bust
ness, which might be undertaken by
any of the proposed banks. could not
exceed Is times the amount of paid
up share capital and surplus. They
might accept and pay interest on de-
posits not exceeding so per cent. of
capital and surplus. and receive de-
posits of postal savings funds to the
same extent.
The report submitted with the bill
was drafted by Senator Fletcher,
chairman; Senator Gore, Representa-
tive Moss, Of Indiana; DR.. John Lee
Coulter, of Minnesota, representing the
Census Bureau and other members Of
the rural credit commission.
The bills were referred to the Bank
ing and Currency Committees of the
Senate and House, which have sub
committees assigned to the subject.
