EXCELLENT METHOD
OF FILLING A SILO
There Is Greater Danger Of Put.
ting Up Silage Too Dry Rather
Than Too Moist.
By WALTER b. LEUTZ)

Corn is ready to be cut for silage
when the grain is In the dent and
glazed, but can still be broken with
the thumb nail. At this stage, under
normal conditions, the two or three
bottom leaves will be turning brown
and the shuck will be turning yellow
at the end. There is greater danger
OF putting up silage too dry rather
than too moist In stave silo the
slaves should be tightened up to ex.
clude the air and generally loosened q
little after the silage swells the slaves.
The inside wall Of concrete silo
should be washed with thin mixture
OF cement and water every two or
three years. This fills the pores and
keeps the air from the silage.
1t will take at least six teams to
keep the average silase cutter busy.
Corn should not be cut down too far
ahead or It will dry out too much.
Two men should work In the silo dis.
tributing the silage with forks. Where
a silage distributor is used one man Is
sufficient. They should keep the silage
higher at the walls than in the center
and should continually tramp the sill.
age next to the walls The tramping
is especially TO keep out the air. When
possible allow the machine to stand
two or three days and refill to make
use Of all the capacity. Finish filling
the silo by running in load Of grass
or weeds. This will rot and seal the
top and prevent having to throw out
the same amount Of spoiled silage.
The silage should feel wet after It
is cut In the silo. II the corn Is very
mature when cut. and is therefore too
dry. add water. A small stream may
be run into the blower from a barrel
or tank. It is especially important
that the silage be well tramped. The
blower should be run q few minutes
every morning In order to clear the
atmosphere before any one enters the
silo.

PRODUCTIVITY OF
SOIL MAINTAINED
Most Important Object Of Green
Manuring Is the Addition Of
Needed HumuS.
By r.. G. wEATHERsToNE)

Green manuring, or the plowing
under OF green crops. is one OF the
oldest methods used to maintain or TO
increase the productivity OF the soil.
The effect Of green manuring varies
according to the original character Of
the soil. In general, sandy or gravelly
soils are made darker in color and be-
come more retentive OF moisture.
Clayey soils are made more porous and
friable, SO that they are less likely
to puddle or bake. and are less subject
to washing. Loamy soils are less
noticeably affected than others.
The most important object OF green
manuring is the addition OF humus to
the soil. Other things being equal. the
best green manure is that which fur.
nishes the largest amount OF material
which will readily decay in the soil
and thus form humus. There are.
however, additional ways In which
such q crop may be beneficial.
Deeprooted plants are decidedly
preferable to shallow-rooted. because
they penetrate into the subsoil. In
this way air and water find entrance,
especially after the roots decay. Thus
in n way every deeprooted plant is n
subsoiler. It is also supposed that
such plants. especially when plowed
under. tend to enrich the surface soil
with potash and phosphorus from the
subsoil. thus bringing these substances
within the reach Of shallow rooted
plants.
Leguminous plants are more valu.
able for green manuring than others,
because they not only provide humus.
but also have the ability to use the
nitrogen OF the air. which upon decay.
Ing they add to the soil. For this rea.
son green manure crops should always
bo legumes II such are adapted to the
particular locality where needed and
can be sown at the time desired.

WHAT CAUSED THE AGONY
Voluminous Telegram From Wife
Worse to Merchant Than Break
in the Market.

The merchant uttered sharp e1-
clamation and sank back into his
chair. A telegram fell from hos shak-
Ing hand. His eyes were wide. his
face white. beads OF perspiration stood
on his brow.
The men in the outer Office whis-
pered among themselves.
Touch of heart disease?" asked one.
No; the old man can't take up
note" said another.
I've heard rumors OF that kind. We
fellows will have to be looking for
another place."
Get to work; he's coming to again
The merchant wiped his brow,
fetched despairing sigh. picked up
the paper from the floor, frowned and
stamped his foot. as If to summon all
his resolution, placed the telegram on
his desk and forced himself to read
the bitter message. This was it:

land. To insure full crop we plant
between May LIST and the 18th. The
plants are set l6 inches apart in the
row. 1t is rather slow work planting
by hand. but with a machine. steady
team OF horses, a man to drive and
two boys to place the plants. we can
plant about $4,000 or five acres a
day.
While the plants are young cultiva.
tion and hoeing should be very shal.
low. and just often enough to keep the
soil clean and loose. II cultivated
deeply the potatoes will be stringy.
long and of poor quality. Then again.
shallow cultivation permits the soil TO
dry out more quickly after a hard
rain, and dryness is so essential to
quality that every effort should be
made to insure II.
The only manure we use Is a min.
eral fertilizer. applied in the row at
the rate OF 1000 pounds per acre.
This contains 3 per cent. nitrogen. I
per cent. phosphorus, and per cent
potash. We use find ground fish or
tankage. nitrate Of soda, acid phos-
phate. and sulphate OF potash. We
mix our own fertilizer.
The nitrate OF soda is applied when
the vines are from 6 to 90 inches
long. at the rate OF 200 pounds to the
acre. and 1t is placed on the row near
the plants, This gives the plants a
quick start. causing the crop to set at
one time. and makes the roots OF uni.
form size. with few small ones.
Thus, In connection with the min.
eral fertilizer we use. and In the alb.
sence of organic matter. we prevent
the tendency sweet potatoes have of
setting all through the season, which
is very detrimental to successful crop
ping.
Proper handling Is Just as impor.
tant as cultivation. For the first sales
in August we do not take the potatoes
out OF the ground any faster than W.
can sell them. When stored In shedA
and barns the exposure to the light
and changes in temperature quickly
rum the product.
Proper grading is also important.
We have three grades. The frsts are
prime, the seconds are good. but n'
,maller size, and thirds are too small
for food, and used for stock feed.
