apart as to freely admit the sunlight.
1t is possible, however, that too
much has been made Of this objection,
as the experience Of many has shown
that much milk may be obtained by
feeding corn grown thus on a given
area Of land.
1t is a very convenient way OF grow
ing it, but It is costly Of seed and does
not check weed growth so completely
as when grown in COWS.
For purely soiling food uses, when
corn Is grown in rows the aim should
be to obtain from 1t as much bulk as
is consistent with the free and ample
opportunity to cultivate the crop in
the usual way.
This means that while the rows
should not be closer than three feet,
the corn may be grown thickly in the
row. To accomplish this the drill
may be made to SOW seed twice or
three times virtually In the same
place.
The cutting may begin - soon as
the crop Is in full tassel, and may be
continued until the crop Ia nearly, II
not quite, ripe. The season Of feeding
may be prolonged by planting at least
two varieties which mature at difer-
ent times during a season.

Corn is a great soiling crop, but
the same objections obtain to using 1t
for soiling food purposes as obtain to
sorghum. The nutriment in 1t is less
prior to maturity than after maturity.
When fed in the form Of ensilage 1t

is then fed slightly short Of maturity

For this use no plant In America
will equal corn, and this is unques-
tionably the most economical way of
feeding 1t when it Is to be fed for a
number of years.
Under such conditions 1t will abund-
antly pay to build a sNo,, relatively
narrow and deep, that 1t may be
adapted to summer feeding.
The advantage Of a narrow silo over
q wide one for such feeding arises
from the fact that less surface is ex-
posed from day to day during the
summer when small quantities are
fed.
The sowing of corn for soiling on

Gates. 1t has been condemned chiefly
on the ground of the small food value

Turkey hens, as q rule, lay their
eggs on the ground. As they begin
laying very early In the season, It
is best to remove the eggs from
the nest soon after they are laid,
and replace them with hen eggs.
Be careful not to let a turkey hen
see you near the nest, because tur-
keys are very cunning and resent
intrusion. Wrap the eggs in paper
and place in boxes one layer deep.
They should be turned carefully.
every day until placed for Matching.
Turkey eggs will keep in good condi-
ton for 81 days when cared for in
this manner. But 1t Is never advisable
to keep eggs longer than Is neces-
sary.
Some people hatch their turkey
eggs with chicken hens, but We do
not think 1t a good practice on &C.
count of the fact that the poults are
apt to get lousy. We had an ex-
p~erience OF this kind a few years ago.
In spite of the fact that the poults
were thoroughly busted with powder
every few days they began to droop
and die.
AS a last resort we used olive oil
and found 1t excellent. Do not use
too much oil. Lard, or any kind OF
animal grease will kill young poults

almost as fast as the lice will. Vege-
table oil is different from animal oils.
Never use kerosene.
Spread the wing and raise the short
feathers on the shoulder, directly
over the large quilts. If a young
turkey has lice, they will be found
there. Also around the tail Or wher-
ever there are large feathers. One
application Of the oil is usually suf-
fcient unless the lice are very num-
erous. Remember, lice are fatal to
turkey poults, so they must be kept
free from them.
Never use Oil or grease upon a
setting hen. If she has lice, use a
powder. Oil, upon the shell Of an
egg renders it worthless for Matching.
One Of the first things young tur-
keys need is sunshine. 1t is a waste
of time to offer them food before they
are 4S hours old. Turkeys need
fresh air both day and night, but
they must not be allowed to get damp.
The first feed is usually hard-boiled
eggs, crushed, mixed with dry bread
crumbled fine and sprinkled with
clean coarse sand. Rice, properly
cooked, is good for young turkeys,
and pin-head oats, or coarse oat meal
is also good. Corn is too ~fattening
for growing turkeys and commercial
chick-feed is too hard to digest. Whole
wheat is good after they are six weeks
old, but only feed a very little of it.

Cowpeas, seeded in July and grown

September or early in October without

the crop should be removed. On heavy

lie fallow until spring. Where 1t is

TWO GOOD THINGS FOR SIL0
Sorghum and johnson Grass May Be
Used, But Not Considered as
Good as Dent Corn.

In reply to a query from Texas as
10 the use OF sorghum and Johnson
grass in the silo, the Hoard's Dairy
man makes the following reply:
Sorghum may be put into the silo
and we should expect it to keep as
well in the south as 1t does In the
north. About the only difference be-
tween silage keeping In the winter
and ia the summer is that a little
more should be fed each day in sum-
mer than in winter. The air coming
in contact with the surface Of the
silage in summe spells 1t more quick.
ly than it will in winter. This is due
to conditions making It easy for the
different kinds of bacteria and fungi
to grow. But In an air-tight sflo where
these plants cannot get in, Stage will
keep as well In q warm as In q cold
climate. Sorghum makes q fairly
good silage, but owing to the large
amount of sugar It contains the silage
becomes more acid than when made
from common field corn.
johnson grass may be put into the
silo. Care must be taken, however,
to thoroughly pack it during the filling
process, and If it is a little too ripe
when put In a liberal amount OF water
should be used. We think 1t q very
good practice. after the silo is filled,
no matter with what crop 1t is filled,
to add a considerable amount OF wa
ter. While sorghum and johnson
grass may be put into the silo. yet we
think they are not as good crops to
use for this purpose as dent corn.
