are then screwed on, and the job is

IMPORTANT TO DAIRYMEN.

1t looks very much as if the day was
not far distant when all dairymen
furnishing milk to cities of any consid-

sion of lower court granting munich
palities the right of insisting on this
test, and this gives the necessary foun.

SEED CORN TESTS.

Recent tests which the students Of
the agricultural course of the high
school in the writer's home town have
made of Il large supply OF seed corn
saved last fall have brought out two
interesting 'acts-frst that ears that
were picker and hung up in September
before any heavy frost occurred SHOW
practically perfect termination test,
while ears that We're picked after the
first heavy freeze not only show a
larger number of dead kernels, but in
many instances the terminating power
of those that grow is weak. If the
average farmer would act on the infor
nation contained in these tests-pick
his corn before there is any frost and
use care in keeping it dry during the
winter-there would be practically no
such thing as seed corn problem.

CORN SILAGE PAYS WELL.
Experiments Prove Its Great Worth as
Feed For Stock.

The South Carolina experiment sta
tion recently published bulletin by
Archibald Smith giving the results OF
tests to ascertain the value of different
kinds Of forage crops fed with cotton
seed meal. The main findings are Of
especial value to the farmers Of the
south and of great value to farmers In
any section of the country. The bulle-
tin demonstrates anew the economy
Of corn silage as beef producing feed.
In this test silage, corn stover and
cottonseed bulls were compared. The
test demonstrated
That corn silage gave by far the
best returns not only In economic pro-
duction Of beef, but also in the quality
Of beef and the shape In which 1t
reached the market.
That silage fed steers produced beef
from 10 to 20 per cent cheaper than the
other feeds.
That silage fed beef lost less In ship
ping to market. This is a test which
some shippers have disputed In the
past, declaring silage fed beef lost Sc
verely in the shipping process.
That the silage fed group produced
gains that would warrant value on
the silage Of $3.50 per tOnvthis earn
ing on very poor market, as the steers
sold for only $3.50 per hundred. Had
they been sold on a good market the
gain might have been increased 20 per
cent
That with cost Of go per ton for the
production of corn silage fair aver
age good corn should be made to earn
from $50 TO so per acre.

POOR MANAGEMENT.

The Nebraska College of Agriculture
last year sent out inquiries to 1000
farmers who are engaged In the grow
ing Of wheat and found that with but
few exceptions they burned their
straw. The station officials say that
in effect these farmers, as well as
thousands of others who follow the
same practice in Missouri, Kansas and
Oklahoma, are guilty Of arson and are
directly impairing the productivity and
physical quality Of their soils. The
station discourages this practice and
urges the use of the straw as rough
age for winter feeding, as a fertilizer.
as a preventive Of soil blowing, to i'm
prove the drainage, to loosen heavy
AMI adhesive soils and for bedding.
