from the most advanced down to those
just starting from the roots.
After this weed has obtained a foot
hold the best way to eradicate it is
to prevent it from sending up top
or above-ground growth, which finally
causes the roots to die. This is the
basic principle which must be kept
in mind at all times. The top of the
plant serves much the same purpose
as the lungs Of animals, so that If the
plant is continually deprived Of all
that vital part it must soon die.

PROPER SILAGE CORN
Select Varieties That viii Pro-
duce Large Fodder.
Most important Essential 10 TO Find
Kind That VIII Mature In Your
LocaIity-SiIo 10 Always Prof
table 10 Farmer.

In selecting variety Of corn for
silage always use one that will ma
ture its grain. Other things being
equal, select variety that produces
large fodder as the yield will be
greater.
There are special ensilage varieties
such as Virginia Ensilage corn" but
before trying any Of these be sure to
know whether or not 1t will mature
in your locality.
Corn can be planted somewhat thick
er than generally used In growing
grain but not thick enough to prevent
the good ear development.
One dairyman who has had good
success in growing corn for the silo
and puts up about 1000 tons year
says that he plants one-third more
seed for the silage corn than for the
corn grown for grain.
The amount, however, depends much
upon the variety and the conditions of
the soil.
The size Of the silo of course de-
ponds upon the number Of cattle to
be fed. It should never be less than
20 feet high because pressure is necesr
sary to preserve the silage.
The higher the better. A good rule
Is to have 1t twice as high as the
diameter. The following table will
show the size for given number of
cows for 2O0-day feeding period:

PROBLEM OF WINTER BUTTER
Most Important Part Of Work 10
Proper Ripening Of Cream-Churn
at Least Twice a Week.
CIV s. c. MILLERl

We cannot hope to make good but
ter without the proper ripening OF
the cream. This is in fact the most
important part Of the work. Most
farm people keep skimming during
the entire week. putting all into one
lot, and often the last days churning
is skinned directly into the churn,
and Of course this has not ripened at
all.
This plan gives cream Of six diff
ferent periods of ripening. It is al
most impossible to get good butter
from week-old cream.
Churning should be done at least
twice a week. After the cream Is
taken off it should be kept at low
temperature to discourage the growth
of bacteria until about twelve hours
before churning, when the starter
should be added to ripen 1t. and the
temperature raised to IS degrees or
a little over.
In summer churning can be done at
So degrees, but In winter the temper
ature should be from six to eight de-
grees higher. II churned at more
than IS degrees good deal Of the
curd may be Incorporated. and this
will make butter of cheesy flavor,
which does not keep well.
Rancid butter is caused by insult
ficient washing. The wilk left in the
butter will soon become strong, and 1t
should be all washed out, care being
taken, however, not to overwash the
butter, as this will take out the good
flavor.
In sailing, the mass should be
spread out thinly and the salt
sprinkled over evenly, because it is
almost impossible to work the salt
through all Of the butter II It Is
thrown all in one place.
Streaked or mottled butter is near
" always caused by uneven sailing.
After sailing, the butter should be al
lowed to stand for five or SIX hours
and then worked again.
Our experience is that unless the
farmer is well equipped to make but
ter IA very large quantities, with ac-
cess to a good private trade which
will pay fair prices, 1t is better to
sell the cream than to attempt TO
make butter for the market.

that both financial and political his
tory furnish ample Illustration Of the
danger, the inenfectiveness, the inade-
quacy OF politically appointed boards
In direct contravention of this .po-
sition, Mr.. Vanderlip and his Wall
Street associates come here at the last
hour, \finging consistency to the winds,
proposing politically appointed hoard,
not one member OF which is to be Sc
lected by the stockholding banks, but
all by the President of the United
States. Mr.. vanderlip in July objected
TO the long term Of seven years pro-
vided by the House bill, but now. in
October. he would stretch out the term
to fourteen years under his central
bank bill. II the board provided by
the House bill, sitting at arms length
in Washington would in seven years
lose the power to direct wisely what
would happen in the case of Mr.. Van
derlip's fourteen years board?
Radical Departure Opposed.
"Mr Vanderbilt" said Mr.. Glass,
warned the House committee against
any radical departure in the present
national banking act and said the new
scheme must be attractive to the banks
or they would, abandon 1t.
'Mr. Vanderlip's central bank scheme
embodies every one of his Objectionable
features" says Mr.. Glass. IF national
banks will leave the system under the
House bill, how can they be expected
to remain in under Mr.. Vanderlip's plan
sof 'compulsion' and 'coniscation' and
political control
Under Mr.. yanderIips proposal the
President has ten-fold power. He not
only appoints the central board of the
central bank. but the central board in
turn appoints the managers and direc-
tors of the twelve branch banks thus
giving the President. first and hast. alb
solute control OF the system.
Under the House bill the twelve re-
gional reserve banks, in the exercise of
strictly banking functions. are reason
ably independent of the President and
the central reserve board. The House
bill maintains the integrity of our indie
pendent banking system. co-ordinating
1t and using all OF its strength in time
of stress. while Mr.. Vanderlip's proposf
ton simply destroys it..
