RAISE CORN CROP
FOR ENSILAGE
First Know THAT Land May Be
Depended Upon to Do in Way
of Ordinary Production.
By w. f. MsPARRAN9


inexperienced siloists are inclined
to think that large bulk of green
matter is the first thing to be con-
sidered in securing crop of ensilage
corn, with the result that from too
thick planting or cutting the crop
while too immature, their experience
in feeding silage is apt TO be disap-
pointing.
We are DESTROYS of course, Of secur-
ing as much weight per acre in our
crop, compatible with highest feeding
vClue. but to secure the latter, which
is the object in filling the silo, we
must draw a sensible limit to mere
bulk
A safe rule, therefore, to follow is
10 first know about what ones land
may be depended upon to do in way
of production under ordinary weather
conditions, Having this knowledge
ones choice of seed should be of a

amount of fodder with a good yield of

OF maturing in the neighborhood.

That Human Trumpet Call"


When Enrico Caruso was in Atlanta
few days ago he sang to the prison
ers in the federal penitentiary three
songs, including his Sob Song from
"Pagliacci" After hearing Caruso,
Julian Hawthorne, now convict No.
4435, wrote a poem, a few lines of
which run thus:
Then, In the hush OF the great blank
hall
God wrought wondrOus miracle,
For voice like glorious trumpet
call
Arose as soul from the deeps OF
hell,
And our souls rose with it on won
drous wings,
Rose from their prison Of iron and
clay,
Forgot the CRIME and the shame OF
things!
We, were men once again in sun
lit day,
Sin and grief and punishment-all
Were lost in that human trumpet
call"

Careful experiments show that
where siage is made from large i'm
mature corn it frequently has but lit
tie more dry feeding matter than is Sc
cured from about half the bulk of
corn perfectly developed.
So, mere tonnage does not count in
silage. 1t is better to labor with less
in the harvesting and secure more in
the feeding.
My practice is to plant a corn that
in height of stalk and extent of foil
age will produce me maximum
quantity OF fodder that will remain
green long, and each stalk produce
one or more well developed, good
sized ears.
II is a waste OF time, labor and
land to plant corn for ensilage only as
thickly as when planting for a cur
ing crop. One may have twice as
many stalks az in ordinary crop plant
ing, If on good land, and make per
feet silage.
The extreme of too thin planting is
nearly as i'll advised as the other Of
too thick ] want from Is to 25 tons

1t will be seen from the above that
40 acres devoted almost exclusively
to hay can be equipped for consider
ably less money than a 60-acre dairy
farm. The income from the 40-acre
hay farm. in those states where hay
will sell for as much as SIS a ton on
the farm, will also be larger than it
will be on the 60-acre dairy farm. But
In regions where hay sells for only IS
or 50 a ton an exclusive hay farm is
not advisable. l would put $12 to the
ton as about the dividing line between
hay farming and other types. OF
course it will be necessary, in con-

the magnificent growth of the Domin-

this increase in revenue during the pc.

II is the intention in this article to
discuss the cost of the equipment for
the various types OF farming. The
reader will of course understand
that these estimates must be TAX
on merely as estimates. For in
stance, in the types considered be-
low land has, in all cases, been con-
sidered as worth $50 per acre without
buildings. fences, etc. The price Of
land varies enormously in different To-
calities. In using these figures,
therefore, the prospective farmer
must substitute in them the proper
price of land. The farm will nearly
always have a dwelling upon 1t. and
IL will usually have fences, and fire.
ouently a barn that will answer the
purposes. These items are usually in
cluded under the head Of real estate.
1t will therefore be necessary, In ev-
cry individual case, TO substitute for
the real estate items In these figures
the actual values obtained by inquiry.
The remainder Of the items can be
depended upon with fair degree OF
certainty, as they do not vary 30
much in different sections. The fol-
lowing is the estimated real estate
cost Of sixty-acre dairy farm:
Land 60 acres at $50. 900
Dwelling $50
Barn (for 16 head at 500 ...... 1,140
Fences, IS per acre. ........... 300

Usually one can buy land with the
above equipment on 1t by paying cash
from one-fourth to one-third of its
value and giving n mortgage for the
remainder. Hence the necessary cap
ital for a beginner, in order that he
may start in and have his farm in full
operation within one year. would then
be about as follows:
