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

Sugar beet tops and shock corn were
successfully cut up together into silage
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 silage. 1t
is said that the leaves of sugar beets
haze about half feeding value of the
roots.
Il Taking into consideration that in the
Arkansas valley in Kansas thousands
of tons of beet tops are wasted annual
ly. one 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 suggestion to the
many farmers who grow large crops of
sugar beets. rt =, #f

Set Apart For the Farmer
BURN OUT THE PESTS.
Apply the Torch to the Roadside and
Get Rid of Insects.

Apply the ] CTCn TO INC 1OdQSIOS anu
Get Rid of Insects.
Perhaps there is no place on the
farm that is a better harboring place
for insects that are destructive to
crops than the roadsides. These usu-
ally have thick growth of grass and
weeds and as they are not frequently
disturbed the insects from the adjoin-
ing fields seek these for the winter.
Such places also form desirable place
for them to deposit their eggs and for
the young insects to start. The insects
in such a place can easily be killed if
the work is done i'll the proper time.
D. Burning the rOadsides and all trashy
places is perhaps the most effective
way. to kill the insects therein, but
even this is not always effective if not
done at the right time. A great many
people hold to the opinion that the
best time to set fire to such places is
in the early spring, thinking that then
they will catch everything. This is,
however, not always the case and as a
usual rule q great many insects escape
being killed. We have had occasion to
see hundreds of insects wriggle them
selves out of the ground on a newly
burned road in spring. They were
quite uninjured by the flames, and the
weather being already warm enough
for them without the shelter they APP
parently got along all right.
These insects do not stay only in the
grass, but they go below it. burrowing
themselves into the ground and crawl
ing deep down among the roots. When
the trash is burned a great majority
of them are uninjured by the fire. This
is the great objection to spring burn
ing, for then the weather is usually
modified enough to allow them to live
without the trash protection.
a more successful plan is to burn
these trashy places and roadsides i'll
the dead of winter. What insects the
fire does not destroy will then be killed
by freezing, for they are as a rule not
covered deep enough to protect them
from freezing without the grass cover
ing. This should not be neglected I'M
til the hardest freezing season of the
year is over to make the work most
effective. 1t should receive prompt at
tention.-Iowa Homestead
