FOR FILLING sIl1
TO CUT AND PACK THE Sill.
AeE-co-oPERATIoN PAYS.
BY c. X. Eekles, Professor Of Dairy
Husbandry, College Of AgrlcuI-
ture, University of Missouri.

When corn is used for silage the en-
tire plant, including the ear, is cut in
to about one-haif inch lengths, using
a large power cutter for the purpose.
A large cutter which permits filing
the silo rapidly is most economical
of labor. 1t is advisable for three or
four farmers located close together to
buy a silage cutter together. By help
ing each other they are able to fill the
silos for the group with the minimum
expense.
The cutters used to fill a medium
sized silo have a capacity of from 10
to Is tons per hour. From four to
six teams are required to haul the corn
from the field, depending on Tie dis
lance and other conditions. The corn
may be cut in the field with a corn
binder, II M is at hand, or may be
cut by hand and thrown Ito piles.
The cost of filing a silo has been
found to vary from fifty cents to one
dollar a ton, depending on the machin-
cry used, the yield of corr per acre,
the distance hauled, and how the
work is organized and handled. With
good organization and machinery the
cost should not be more than seventy
cents per ton.
The silage settles about eight feet
in a silo thirty feet high and for this
reason, where rapid filing is prac-
ticed, the silo will not be full after it
has settled unless it is filled a second
time. If it is convenient, allow the
machine to stand two or three days
for the silage to settle, then refill and
most of the capacity will be made use
of.
Where no special form of distributor
is used in the silo, there is a tendency
for the heavier pieces of ears to drop
stalks are thrown q greater distance.
In order to keep the silage of a uni
form composition the portion richer in
grain should be distributed over the
surface of the silo as the filling pro-
crosses.
1t is especially Important to make
sure that the silage is packed closely
around the walls since this is where
the air gets in and the spelling takes
place. The wall must be smooth to
make as little friction as possible in
settling. While the silo is being filled,
one man at least and preferably two,
should work in the silo, distributing
the silage and packing it. The outside
next to the wall should be kept higher
than the center and constantly
tramped. There is no necessity for
tramping in the middle, as it will take
care of itself.
When the filing is completed the top
should be leveled off and tramped
down as thoroughly as possible over
the entire surface. The upper layer
should be thoroughly wet with water
in some way. This can be done by
running the water into the blower as
the last few tons are in, or by
putting it into the silo after the filling
is completed. The idea is to form an
air tight layer over the top to prevent
the silage from spelling.
Some advocate the use of cut straw
thoroughly wet on top Of the silage
It has also been suggested that after
the silage is thoroughly wet down
oats be sown on the top. These viii
sprout soon and assist in sealing tie
silo more quickly.

LONG USEFULNESS COMES FROM
GOOD CARE.
BY. A. c. Page, College of Agriculture,
University Of Missouri.

Machinery that wears out and
breaks down is expensive. Cows that
are good for only a year or two are
not likely to be profitable. The farm
er is sometimes deceived in a COW be-
cause she starts the year with a large
flow of milk, but after a few months
she drops down to 50 small an amount
that she scarcely pays for her keep.
AT the end of six months she may be
dried up. The kind Of COW that makes
the money is the n that works the
year round except for a month or six
weeks Sah the end.
The COW al the Missouri College Of
Agriculture that has started in her
tenth milking period and is still Civ
ing a large flow of milk is not exce2-
tional in the ranks Of good cows. Sew
eral others in the herd are doing even
better than that. Such results, how
ever, always accompany good care,
and need not be expected where it is
not given.
One of the reasons a COW needs a
balanced ration is so that her body
will be kept in the best condition to
endure the hard work of giving milk.
That is the meaning of a balanced
ration for any animal-one that sup
plies the necessary elements for the
work Of milk production, and also for
the maintenance of the body in the
best condition.
No COW that has wintared through
on corr stalks and miscellaneous pick
ings is in condition for a big years
work. Neither is she in condition to
live a long and profitable life.
Such results as have been obtained
from this cow, shown in the illustra-
ton, could not be expected from a
well bred dairy GOV with good blood
behind her. In the nine periods she
has been in milk, she has produced
S7,957 pounds Of milk and 1852
pounds Of butter.

LITTLE BOARD OPEN AT $50
Will Maintain a Primary Market
for Stocks for Half Hour Daily

The board OF governors OF the Consoli.

favor OF the plan for opening the exchange
al $50 a. m. thus giving effect TO tho
wishes Of the members at large, who a
week or so ago approved the proposition
BY vote of about three TO one. The in
ton, which was suggested by the new
president, NJ z. de Aguero. will be watched
with great interest, IN view OF the frequent
allegations that the Consolidated follows
the New York Stock Exchange in making
its prices, allegations which have always
been strongly denied by the management
Of the Consolidated. and In view also OF the
anita gonisnl Of the big Board" toward the
Little Board" IT has been left TO Prcsi-
dent de Aguero to fix the date when the
early opening" regulation shall go into ef-
feet. and It Is understood that II Will be
within a very short time. Mr. de Aguero
said yesterday afternoon, in discussing the
plan to which the exchange is now COM
mitted
The Consolidated Stock Exchange OF New
Work has decided 10 open for business at
$50 a. m. and to establish a call OF the
active stocks TO begin at the opening.
The advocates Of this policy point to the
fact that this call will give the earliest
market this side of the ocean and that the
exchange will demonstrate its independence
by maintaining a primary market for half
an hour daily.
THE fact that on the opening call only
one stock can be traded IN at a time and
that the trading will be participated In by
from 200 70 800 members, affording the
broadest stock market in the world. nuner-
ically instead OF the usual stock crowd OF
from 10 TO 90 must lead those who are con-
ycrsant with trading In large crowds. as,
for instance the wheat pit at Chicago. 70

success Many men OF many minds make
