The siIo as a Forage Bank.

There is produced every year IN this
country sufficient forage to iced liber-
ally all the live stock of the land, and
leave a good balance besides. The
shortage of supplies each year is due
to the spelling and wasting of forage
already grown, and the means OF pre-
serving this forage will solve the
stock problem Of the country. The
principal waste is now going on with
the corn plant. It is most noticeable
in the corn belt states where perhaps
so per cent. of the stalk and leaves OF
this most valuable forage is wasted
annually. AS economic stock produc-
ton is determined by the proper use
of forage, the silo furnishes a means
whereby all farm forage can be pre-
served and placed in the best possible
condition for feeding. The silo is too
we'll known to require a description OF
this method, but its use is certainly
sadly wanting. It can be safely said.
Or any farm where 10 head or more
OF cattle are kept, a silo is a proper
equipment, and Of great economic
value.

clay good outlets for bitches can be

small expense.
Whatever system Is used, 1t should
be planned and carried out in the
most effective way. The important
fact to remember is that in order to
farm successfully the nat clay lands
with most crops it is necessary to pro
vide some practical system Of surface
drainage.
The land should be plowed in mar

The drainage Of heavy clay lands
deserves much attention, for the yield
Of crops obtained on such soils is very
largely proportional to the degree OF
drainage. This soil, being naturally
retentive Of moisture, puddles very
easily II worked when wet, thus pre-
venting the entrance Of air into the
ground. The excess Of water also pre-
vents the soil from warming mp early
in the spring. and thus retards the
planting Of seed and its termination
after being planted. The bacteria and
other organisms which prepare the
nitrogen Of the soil for the use Of the
higher plants cannot do their work
wen IN a wet or puddled soil. They
must have afr and a comparatively
high temperature in order to DO their
best work.

Another meritorious old plant is the
nasturtium. "Sturtions" our grand
mothers used to call them. They
bloom generously, and. like the sweet
pea, until cold weather comes II pre-
vented from ripening seed. They are
snowy In the garden, and excellent
for cutting. But don't make the soil
In which you SOW them very rich. II
you do, you will get-a most rampant
growth Of vines and very few flowers.
Balsams-"The Lady Slippers" OF
former generation-are deserving OF
place in all collections. They bloom
profusely, come in a wide range OF
color. and are easily grown. Do not
plant the seeds until all danger OF
frost is over, as this plant is quite
tender. In order to give the flowers
chance to display their charms effec-
lively It may be necessary to clip on
q good many of the leaves along the
main stalks. The Balsams OF our

BILE as a rose. The flowers cluster so
thickly along the stalks that they
look like broken bits Of wreathing.

cutting, because OF its long stems and

Nowadays we have no China asters
such as our grandmothers grew but
the varieties developed from that
modest old strain by our wonder-work-
ing florists cannot be left out OF any
garden without depriving 1t OF one OF
the most satisfactory of all plants.
Nothing is easier to grow, nothing
blooms more profusely, nothing is
richer in color. and few plants have
its merit of blooming late in the sea

semble the popular chrysanthemum

they are often sold for that flower in
fall. For cutting the best variety Is
the Branching. with flower stalks a
