ROOT CROPS FOR DAIRY cow
Where Large Quantities Of Turnips
Arc Fed Directly After Milking
No Bad Flavor Results.

No matter what some people tell
you, turnips and other roofs make
fine milk-producing feed. Turnips
will not affect the flavor of milk If
fed at the right time.
If turnips are fed In large quanti-
ties. and two or three hours before
milking, they are likely to give the
milk an unpleasant taste, but II fed
directly after milking, no flavor
whatever will be noticed.
A peck of turnips to each animal
per day Is sufficient In most cases.
A good plan is to feed directly after
hay in the early morning, and once
a day Is often enough.
A little salt scattered over the
turnips, which should be chopped in
quarters or smaller, add to their
palatability.
Roots make a very valuable addi-
tion to the winter ration, because
they add to the variety Of the feed.
and no animal on the farm appreci-
ates variety more than the dairy COW.
In Wisconsin, Iowa, and other
western dairy states the root crop
l. becoming a very important part Of
the crop of the farm.

The accompanying illustration Shows
The relation of the sheeting, laths and
cement mortar The dovetailed open
ing formed by the laths as shown
holds the cement lining very solidly.
The cement mortar should be mixed

sharp sand; 1t will be necessary to
put on before the first is thoroughly
dry. After the second coat is dry. or
nearly so, a wash consisting of pure
cement and water made to the thick
ness of cream. should be applied with
n brush TO the silo. This wash will
close UP the pores of the plaster and
prevent II from taking Up any mois-
ture from the silage. also prevent air
from entering the silo.
The outside of the silo, or the 2Xis,
may be lett exposed. or they may be
covered with siding, or sheeting, as
the fancy of the builder decides. IL
would be possible to use paper and
several thicknesses of lumber, and
make very good silo, setting up the
2xi's, as described, but We believe it
Is better and fully as cheap to line the
silo with cement plaster.

sklooo SHUTS DOWN

The 29-mile pipe line Of the Skidoo
Mining & Milling Co., with mines
located 125 miles north of Rands-
burg, in lnyo county, froze up dur
ing the recent unprecedented cold
spell and bursted in innumerable
places, and consequently the 20
stamp mill of this company had to
close down, and the 40 miners EN-
ployed were discharged.
The water for the camp of Skidoo
was piped from Jail canyon at the
foot of Telescope peak, across the
desert, under high pressure in 1907,
when $4,000 we're expended to
equip the Skidoo mines before a
pound of ore was taken out. Bob
Montgomery successfully promoted
this property, which afterwards be
came a phenomenal producer OF
late production has been falling off
however, and the destruction of the
pipe line at this time probably will
result in the cessation Of all future
operations. Most of the men have
left camp, and only few leasers
are on the grounds at present.
