SIL0S AND ENSILAGE
Affords Dairyman Beneficent So
luton of Feed Problem.
Not Only Does Away With Devotine
Much Land to Pasturage, But
Furnishes Cheap Supply of
Succulent Food All Year.
by GEORGE P. CIRCUIT, Minnesota Ex-

pertinent Station)
1t does not pay to devote high-prtved
land, Tor long periods, to pasturage
and the production of hay. The land
can be put to more profitable USE In
order, therefore, that dairying may
continue profitable, instead of depend
ing, as in the past, wholly upon the
pasture for the chief food supply OF
their herds, many OF our farmers are
turning toward the silo as affording a
benencent solution of the feed prob
lem. 1t is doubly beneficent in that it
not only does away with the necessity
OF devoting so much land to pasture;
but also, by making available a cheap
supply OF succulent and highly-relished
food all the year round, it deprives
Stall-feeding of some of its objection
able features, while keeping the milk
flow at higher level During the past
two or three years more silos have
been built than in all previous years
combined. The more prosperous farm
ers are often supplied, not merely with
one, but with two good silos.
The economic value OF this method
of handling feed being generally rec
Dgnized, the only real obstacle to the
general introduction of the silo seems
to be the first cost of the structure
and of the machinery for filling it.
More stock can be kept and protitably
fed, per acre, when ensilage is grown,
than by almost any other method OF
feeding
The silo practically increases the
producing capacity of the farm at
least ten per cent, and often more. A
160acre farm with silo will produce
as much revenue as one of 100 acres
without. Therefore, the first cost of a
silo-like that of dwelling house, a
barn or a team-should be considered
part of the initial investment; and, ii
ones capital is limited, it is better to
buy farm smaller by ten per cent,
rather than dispense with silo. The
producing value of silo on $50 land
would be equal to that of twenty
acres added to the 160-acre farm, or
$1,000; on 800 land, it would be
$4,000. This Is a low estimate; for the
stock-carrying capacity OF the farm
will often be increased fully 20 per
cent. by the adding of a silo. AS COM
pared with It's producing value, the
cost of constructing the silo is small.

RICE COMBINATIONS.

! Rice when well cooked is SO easy OF
digestion, so nourishing and whole
some that it seems poor economy to
use so much of other starchy foods
and neglect the rice, which forms the
chief food of so many millions on the
other side of the globe.
For the main dish of a meal it can
be combined with veal, chicken and
other meats in the form of croquettes
or escalloped dishes, with tomatoes
and curry, with cheese. Another is a
very nice dish of hard-cooked eggs cut
in eighths and put into tuttered bak-
ing dish with layer of cold cooked
rice first, then few spoonfuls OF
thick white sauce, a sprinkling OF
cheese and seasonings and layer of
eggs. Finish with buttered crumbs,
and bake until thoroughly hot. This
is a dish sufficiently filling for main
dish. Five hard-boiled eggs, two cups
of rice and cup of white sauce, sea-
soning and little grated cheese will
ne enough TO serve five.
For supper or luncheon dishes there
Is nothing for light meal more ap-
propriate than plain boiled rice with
rich milk

RICE IN THE UNITED STATES
Acreage of Crop in Louisiana and
Arkansas Has Increased 100000
Acres in Two Years.

Tie acreage of rice in Louisiana
and Arkansas has increased approx
mately 100000 acres In the past two
years. Many of the farmers in this
area, as well as in other areas which
have been planted In rice for the first
time in the last few years, know but
little regarding the preparation of the
land for irrigation, the proper amount
of water to apply, and the best method
of applying 1t, but are taking to rice
culture like duck does to water, and
are making success OF the business.
The United States is growing prac-
tically the equivalent of all the rice
1t uses. Some rice of special varieties
IL being imported for Orientals in the
United States who prefer those varie-
ties. The islands of the Caribbean
sea and the Philippine islands get rice
from the United States.

A Modern slIo.

was sown on the Bermuda sod TO help
loosen the soil and make a crop.
In the spring this vetch was har-
vested for hay, and the land was
disked up and sown early to COW
peas. Just as soon as the peas be-
gan to lose their leaves they were cut
for hay. Then the land was plowed
deep and left in the furrow until in
February, when Canada field peas
and oats were sown heavily. The crop
was removed for hay. the land was
plowed deeply and peas were sown
again.
The operations of the previous year
were repeated and by the following
spring, the land was free from Ber-
muda. The freezing of the roots while
the land is In the furrow and the al
most constant shading of the land IN
the spring and summer are the things
that did the work.

MoLAssEs IN THE HOG FEED
Professor of Animal Husbandry OF
Texas Agricultural College Tells
of Eaftenino.

John G. Burns, professor of ami
NAL husbandry of the Agricultural
and Mechanical college of Texas says
that with tankage to supplement a
grain ration, cottonseed meal or
wheat braa are not really needed in
the fattening of hogs.
He believes, however, that 1t would
prove profitable to add limited
quantity of molasses to the ration.
both as an appetizer and to cheaper
the feed, as molasses at is cents the
gallon is cheaper than grain at pre-
vailing prices. He recommends the fol-
lowing proportions as we'll bal
anced fattening ration: Nine pounds
of ear corn or seven pounds of shelied
corn, two pounds black strap molasses
and a pound of tankage.
The grain should be soaked in wa.
ter about twelve hours, and the molas.
SEES should be diluted with about its
own volume of water, and the tank
age thoroughly stirred in and poured
over the grain in the trough at the
time of feeding.

DISH FROM LEFT-ovERs.

The daily problem of keeping with

nothing is wasted is a constant one.
When you have few sweet pota-
toes left from meal. slice them,
sprinkle with brown sugar and bits of
butter and bake In the oven.
Escalloped potatoes prepared from
cold boiled potatoes and little white
sauce and onion juice sprinkled with
green peas, also leftover, makes an
ether appetizing dish
Ginger bread baked in thin sheets,
cut in rounds and put together sand
witch fashion with cream or cottage
cheese make delicious little tea cakes.
When little pastry is left and one
has time to do it, very pretty little
baskets may be made by putting the
pastry over inverted patty pans and
baking. For the handles, twist the
pastry in strips and lay around ba-
king powder can to bake Fill the
baskets with preserves or ices and in
sert the handles. These make very
effective deserts.

Cold vegetables of all kinds may be
converted into good salads. If there
are several varieties, season and pile
them in groups with parsley in be-
tween. Carrots, green peas and pota-.
toes, few of each, in this way make
good mixed salad, and one can take
the preferred vegetable when being
served
When making dessert for dinner,
like custard, just do not add the SUI

SAVE ALL POULTRY MANURE
Richest Kind of Fertilizer Produced
on Our Farms and Is Worth
About $500 Per Ton.

Poultry manure is the richest kind
produced on the farm. Ii the plant
food that it contains Is rated at COLE
mercial fertilizer prices, ton OF hen
manure is worth about $500. Then
1t contains valuable organic matter.
But in spite of its richness. poultry
manure is often neglected on the
farm. Moreover it is the hardest
azure to keep.
one of the best ways to save it on
the large farm is to haul 1t to the
stock barn, as the poultry house is
cleaned out, and spread over the
manure in the pens. so that the mix
ture will go out on the fields regular
ly. On the small farm the poultry
manure may be stored in barrels or
boxes. mixing 1t with leaf mold or
