ADVANTAGES OF GOOD SIL0
elxe Of Receptacle Should Be Adapted
20 Number Of Head OF Animals
TO Avoid Spelling.

(By PROF. W. NJ. EATON, Connecticut
Experiment Station-)
One Of the greatest advantages or
the silo Ii that II can be made TO tide
over the time when there 10 q serious
elimination Of green pasture feed dur
Ing July and August. The question
OF the size OF silo becomes very i'm
portant. During the warmest part OF
the year silage spells very rapidly
where II comes In contact with air.
Spoiled silage Is q dangerous sub
stance to feed. Besides tainting the
milk and upsetting the digestion OF
the COW, It often becomes poisonous.
To avoid this, II is necessary to feed
OF each day from one and half to
two inches. IL this Is done the silage
does not have time to change or fer
will feed ~ animals; 16 feet In di-
ameter 33 animals. and IL feet will
feed 20 animals. II the herd Is large
enough. two silos OF different d.
ameters are a great economic con-
venience. 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 filed 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,
II is evident that a round, wooden
stave silo is the best. And a wooden
silo, IL taken care OF as II 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 II In some wood preserva-
tive or applying asphaltum and creo-
sote substances to the bottom OF the
slaves for a few feet, keeping the
other outside areas well painted.
These are factors which would deter
mine the lasting qualities of 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 q

ly imported from Europe to be sold
for several times the price they bring
IN European countries. The demand
for pheasants is increasing.
Ringneck pheasants have long been
established in Oregon, Washington
and British Columbia, and are less

sets. New York, Indiana and Kansas.
Efforts to acclmatize pheasants in
the United States are of comparative.
ly recent origin. though earlier than
Is peculiarly supposed.
The few pheasant stomachs ex.
amined indicate that these birds are
very fond Of grain. Oats and wheat
composed about "a per cent of the food
OF IL ringneck pheasants collected in
Oregon and Washington and S2.5 per
cent Of the stomach contents Of two
English pheasants from British Co
lumbia. But all OF these birds were
taken In September. October and De-
cember; hence 1t Is probable that all
OF this grain was waste. The next
largest item Of food in these stomachs
was insects, consisting entirely OF lar
vac OF March flies. One stomach con-
tanned no fewer than $50 OF these lar
vac and another 432. The remainder
OF the food included acorns, pine seeds,
browse, peas. rose hips, lupine, bur
clover, black mustard and chick
weed.
From 200 to $50 kernels OF wheat
and oats were taken by various birds:
about 200 peas were found In one
stomach, but 1t was evident that these
were the old and partly decomposed
refuse OF the harvest. Twenty.three
acorns and 200 pine seeds were taken
by the birds which ate the largest
amount OF mast. and about 500 cap
sules OF chickweed, containing more
than 5000 seeds, were In the stomach
Of the best weed seed eater.
What is most evident is that pleas.
ants are gross feeders; their capabil,.
ties for good or harm are great. II n
number Of them attack crop they are
likely to make short work OF 1t, or II
they devote themselves to weed seeds
or insect pests they do great deal of
good. It seems therefore that tho
question Of the economic value OF
pheasants is peculiarly a local one.
Much depends on the proportion of
land under cultivation. the kind of
crops raised. and the quantity of wild
food available. Apparently the
chances are about even that imported
pheasants will or will not become
useful economic factors.

STORING CROPS FOR WINTER
Cellar Should Be Carefully Cleaned

CIV WALTER B. LEUTz.)


Have the cellar carefully cleaned be-
fore storing away any Of the winter
supply. If there are defects in the
wall make them tight with mortar. IL
the windows are loose, repair them.
These little things may be the means
OF saving the entire contents OF the
cellar.
II the potatoes incline to rot, sort
carefully and put in no questionable
specimens. Dust the seemingly per-
feet ones with lime.
II the winter squashes are picked
before they become fully ripe they
will be much more apt to mold and
rot.

cline to burst into kraut II you fear
trouble In keeping 1t cook part and
put into cans, sealing with paraftin.
The solid heads need not be put into
the cellar until November. but may be
left growing.
Do not despise the small beets, tur.
nips and apples. The stock will need
them II you do not. And IL is aston.
ishing how much stun OF this kind
chickens require to keep them at their
best. Give them the parings now and
save the small fruit or vegetables for
winter use.
II you have more stun than you
need and It Is not OF sufficiently good
