TWO KINDS OF ENSILAGE.
Sugar Beet Tops and Shock Corn Cut
Up Successfully.

Sugar beet tops and shock corn were
successfully cut up together into Silace
at the university farm last fall. says
the Kansas Farmer. The silage had a
slightly stronger odor than the ordi-
nary corn silage, but was not offensive.
Cows relished it and did as we'll on it
as they did on regular corn siiage. 1t
is said that the leaves of sugar beets
have about half feeding value of the
roots.
Taking into consideration that in the
Arkansas valley in Kansas thousands
of tons of beet tops are wasted annual
~. n is impressed with the impOr-
lance of utilizing the beet tops for feed
to get the most out Of them. Making
them into silage with corn fodder PROV
ed so satisfactory that it will be repeat
ed. and it seems worth while to pub
liSh the fact as a suggestion to the
many farmers who row large crops Of
sugar beets.
At tho Wisconsin station the tops
were hauled and run through a silage
cutter into the silo with about an equal
quantity of corn fodder taken from
the shock. BY throwing beet tops on
to a large layer of corn and running
both through the cutter together no
difficulty WAS experienced in getting
IN" beet tops out. Enough water was
added to the cut material to give if

A practice that Is common with
English breeders and which our

hard coupling Of ram and ewes.
The American farmer turns his ram
with the ewes and trusts to luck to
bring him a good crop. He does not
know whether the ram is safely set

Too often the ram abuses himself.
to the detriment of the latter part of
the crop. Then, too, the exertion from
running around, as q ram in a bunch
