Here is a suggestion for the farmer
whose silo capacity is insufficient. 1t
NAY be that his silo was erected, as
he thought. too late in-the season to
be filed until next year. He can still
fl it by cutting in cured corn fodder

can get the characteristic silage fer

Gle. although we do not mean to sug-
gest that il viii be 'just as good or
that this method Of making silage
should be regarded as anything but a
makeshift substitute for the regular
method. There are farmers who de-
liberatriy pan to get along with half
the silo space which the ordinary plan
demands, by filing once at the usual
time and ref ling with corn fodder or
slower when the first filling is exhaust
ed. This may be less expensive be-
cause it requires less expenditure for
| silos and because the dry fodder is
easier to haul than the cured crop.
Like some other cheap things, it is
probably less satisfactory in the long

From reports received from various
sources it is probable that field mice
will again be injurious this winter to
nursery and orchard trees and to
some extent to shrubbeTy. 1t is,
therefore, highly important to take
measures against them. We again
urge nurserymen, orchardisss, farmers
and others to defer mulehing trees

weather to seek their winter quarters
and to apply wash consisting OF

Of these tests was printed in the i'll

ton at Newark, Del, in 1903.
In these tests it was found that the
fermented corn fodder was cleaned
up practically without waste and was
relished by young and old stock. 1t
was better and safer to feed with cot
tonseed meal than hay or dry fodder,
and was preferred by cows to ordi-
nary shredded fodder. The quality OF
the fermented product varied. No
points of excessive moisture was
found, but more moisture was pres
ent at the top of the silo than at the
bottom. Where the moisture con,
tanned was normal the silage had an
aromatic sodop Channels formed in
places where water had been pumped

noted. This was also the case in the
