What Is silaae Worth z

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
at Dubois, Pa, wants to know what a
ton OF good corn silage is worth in the
silo. That Is a question which fire.
quently arises in farm settlements and
on which a great variety Of views may
prevail Some have given silage a
very low value, counting merely the
cost Of growing the crop and putting
1t ub. With a big variety Of corn and
high tonnage silage can be figured
down to quite low value but such
figuring is manifestly unfair. Silage
contains corn In varying amounts, usu-
ally around five bushels per ton in
good silage, and the price of corn
should be considered In estimates az

NEW YORK MOVES SLOWLY

New York, Feb. after two
days Of rampant speculation In the
stock markets it moved to a more

Net changes were small with q
majority of slight losses.
The occurrence of the day, which
attracted most attention was the en-
gagement of 100000 in gold bars

emulation of idle funds here, the
demand from abroad and the rise in
exchange rates to the highest point

the likelihood TO a gold export

Nitro.FSlna Bacteria,

Mr.. G. c. Given discussed the nitro
gen.dxing organisms that are not asso'
ciated with the legumes. We have
heard much about the ones that work
in connection with clover, peas, etc,
giving us cheap nitrogen, but there
are groups of bacteria engaged in the
same work that are not associated
with legumes, and they are effective
agents IN supplying the land with nj
troeen when the soil is kept rich in
humus and does not lack any lime.
Moisture and soil aeration are impor-
tant to these bacteria. In the aggre-
gate, big stores OF nitrogen are sup
piled to the soil by these bacteria, OF
which relatively little has been said.

EARNING CAPACITY or LAND
Live Stock and Grain Bring About
Twice as Much Now as They
Did Ten Years Ago.
(Rv s. C. MILLER. y


Farmers as well as their financial
friends in town are vitally interested
In the earning capacity of land. There
Is more money to be made in farming
today than there has been in the past
because Of permanent high prices for
produce and an improvement in trans
rortation facilities.
Live stock and grain bring just
about twice as much now as they did
ten years ago. The certainty that
prices Will remain high comes from
the rapid growth of towns and cities.
The non-producing, consuming ele-
ment Is increasing much faster than
the class tilling the son.
But what is the earning capacity Of
land? A farm Of 100 acres can be
managed so as to maintain 100 hogs, a
dairy Of 20 cows, half dozen brood
mares, a large poultry yard. garden.
an orchard and an apiary.
An income of $4,000 on total ex-
pense for wages and family mainte-
nance Of 1880 would be fair esti-
mate. Allowing $500 more as inter
est on the investment, there remains
a net profit Of $1,000.
Out of the $500 expense fund the
farmer who Ia operating on business
principles will allow himself and fam
lily $500 as wages. He must consider
that he owes himself as much as he
would any other man for a like
amount OF work. and his wife is en-.
titled to her share In cash.
This would mean intensive, sys
tematic, businesslilze farming, but
the figures are conservative, and any
intelligent person can attain these
results If such plan is adopted. BY
going in larger on hogs and poultry
the net earnings might be increased
considerably and the expenses les
sened. A dairy requires compare
lively large area of land.
1t would pay to still further diver
sify by the productions Of beans,
onions and like crops, for which there
always is a good cash market. II is
the single crop which makes the old
fashioned farmer SO near failure,
Theoretically hundred acres of corn
or wheat will yield lot of money,
but as matter Of fact this kind Of
farming will bring man pretty close
to the poorhouse.

Glover.


Even in an alfalfa country II Is
sometimes desirable to grow some
clover both as change of feed and
to lengthen out the hay-cutting sea
son.
II clover is to endure, however, it
must not be allowed to go to seed, as
its nature is to fail thereafter. The
second crop is often better pastured
than to cut the hay as green as must
be the case II none of 1t is to 90 to
seed.
A good top cover is good thing to
protect clover from sudden thaws in
winter and early spring, which will
leave 1t out. A good mulch of manure
is also a great help and there Is no
better place to apply manure than on
clover. A good working with renova-
tor harrow or disc should do clover as
much good as alfalfa.
