Preserving Silage
Through Sumner.

An Iowa correspondent writes:
will you please tell me how
to cover silage 90 that It will
keep until / 60 to filing my silo
this fall? / have ten or twelve
feet in a 14x32-fOOt silo left over.
Now, will this silage be all right
to feet next winter if the silo Is
filed next fall?"
We know of no way ofprevent-
ing the top five or six inches OF
silage from spelling when the
surface is not being constantly
lowered by the daily feeding.
Many schemes have been tried.
Some cover their silage with
straw. Some put boards on 1t
and pack it down. Some run in
water at the rate of about a gal.
lon per square foot. Any method
is all right which will shut out
air. The most practical and
easily applied method is at the
close of the feeding season in the
spring to walk around the inside
of the silo, time and again, es'
pecially at the edges. In this
way, the silage will be packed so
tightly that most of the air will
be shut out and there will not be
a great deal of spelling. What
has been the experience of our
readers in keeping silage through
the summer?-Wallaces Farmer.

danger of there being too many
farmers, because, some way or
other, most people are made to
respond more readily to'the call
of the city than to the call of the
country.
Let me tell you the finest thing
about farming. It will not APP
peal to you so much now as it
will twenty years from now.
The farm is the best place on
earth to raise boys and girls.
Just at present / live in town
myself, but if / were in the bust
ness of raising boys and girls, !
would want to be on a farm. !
feel this particularly when / mo-
tice dirty-faced children playing
in the streets. ! know they get
stale milk with lots of bacteria
in it to drink at home. They
don't have the chance to grow up
as strong and healthy as your
brothers and sisters. After all,
about the biggest thing the av-
erage farm boy has before him is
to choose the right girl for his
wife and raise a fine family.
And so I think that you will
conclude with me thatit is worth
while to be a farmer. You will
stick to the farming business
through thick and thin" and
you will study it closely until
you are a first-class business man
who understands machinery, en-
joys hard work, and likes to see
the plants and animals grow.

What Is a Farmer?

While reading q new book the
other day, ] came across this
statement: 1.-THE farmer is q
combination of business man,
mechanic, naturalist, and labor
err" stopped and thought to
myself: Yes, an up-to-date far
mer should be all that. He must
be a business man, for he is con.
stautly buying and selling. He
must combine horse flesh, man
labor, money and land in the
right proportions if he is to make
the most money. Forty years
ago a farmer didn't really need
to be a business nsaa. because
then he bought and cold very lit
tie. Now things have changed.
All farmers, to make q big sue
cess, must organize their .busi'
ness so a. to buy and sell to adj
vantage.
A good farmer must under
stand machinery. If the binder
breaks, someone about the place
must know how to fix 1t. He
must have enough respect for his
machinery to order repairs the
very moment they are needed,
and to pat ON oil and grease 80
that the parts will wear easily
and not rust. Yea. surely first
class farmer must understand
machinery, or else have someone
on the place who understands 1t,
says Wallaces' Farmer.
A real farmer enjoys watching
animals and plants grow. He Is
naturalist. When his work is
done, he gets genuine Satisfac-
ton out of leaning on the fence
watching his. hogs eat corn or
his cows chew their cud.
Out in the field he kicks the
soil with his toe or erumbles Il In
his hand, and figures when will
be the best time to plow or to
cultivate 50 that his plants will
grow well.
Our ideal farmer likes to work.
he has worked on the farm as a
boy, and nothing gives him more
pleasure than doing . good job
of blowing, or carefully culivat'
ing q field of corn chen coil con-
ditious are just right. Il is .

Sixteen SiIO Reasons

1. Corn ensilage is the near
est and most economical substi-
tute for pasture grass, which is
the most ideal of all known ra-
tions.
20 Corn ensilage yields from
six hundred to two thousand
pounds more nutrients per acre
than any other farm crop.
3. There is great economy of
space in storage. A cubic foot
of hay in the NOW weighs FIVE
pounds. A cubic foot of silage
weighs forty pounds.
4. The quality of feed is uni
form and none is rejected; where
hay or cured fodder is used much
of the coarser parts of the plant
is refused.
S. The use of silage saves
much time and labor. Feed is
near at hand all winter, aud does
not have to be handled when
weather is cold and stormy, and
far-away fields are muddy or
snowbound.
6. Its use in the winter ration
brings larger gains in milk flow,
more steady yields and better
conditioned stock.
7. A ration of which silage is
the main roughage will put flesh
on beef cattle at a greater rate
per day than any other known
ration.
8. The amount of high-priced
milled feeds and concentrates
needed is cut dowa.
9. With its use practically the
entire food value of the corn crop
is saved; without it 40 per cent
of the value, namely, stalks,
leaves and tassels, Is lost.
10. Twice to three times the
number of head of cattle can be
fed from the same acreage.
IL. Silage can be harvested
and loaded into the silo in all
kinds of weather.
II. Silage is weather-proOf in
the silo; it is secure from rains
and frost, hot winds, dust and
drought.
13. The fields are cleared and
ready for wheat or rye, as all
corn stalks are safely stored in
the silo instead OF wasting IN the
field.
IA. Silage can be fed with
great advantage to cattle, sheep,
horses and mules, swine and
IS. The amount of plant life
retained in the ensilage that goes
back to the farm is far greater
than that which returns to the
soil by leaving the stalks in the
field to be dried up and blown
away.
16. Probably the most convinc-
ing reason of all: No farmer
who now has one would feed
without one.

labor. Of course, sometimes in
the height of the season, weather
conditions are against him, and
he has to work all day long and
into the night. This tires him,
but just the same he takes great
delight in bucking into the job
and doing it with all his might.
Our frst-class farmer knows
how to manage men. He is able
to work hard himself, and can
help other men to feel the same
interest in hard work that he
himself feels. 1t may be that
our ideal farmer while young is
4 hired man. In that case he
watches how his employer bosses
the men who work for him, and
slows away in his mind the meth
DDS which get work quickly and
we'll done.
Would you like to be a hard
working business man, who un-
derstands machinery and likes
to see plants and animals grow?
If SO, you had best stay on the
farm. But perhaps you like to
tinker with machinery, and care
nothing about raising plants or
animals, and hate to work in the
field. In that case, perhaps it
is best for you to take work in an
engineering college, or 60 to the
city and become a mechanic. If
you stay on the farm, you will
spend so much time fooling with
the machinery that you will not
get much work done. Or per-
haps you greatly enjoy buying
and selling? You pick up thin
horses and sell them as soon as
you have put a little flesh on.
Or you buy odds and ends of ma
chinery in the hope that you can
sell at a rise. If you ale very
strongly inclined this way, you
bad best 60 into some town busi-
ness. Otherwise, / fear that you
will be running around the coun-
try buying and selling things, to
the neglect of your crops and
live stock at home.
Will you make money if you
become a farmer7 Ifyou are the
average farm boy, and really go
to farming in earnest, you will
have more money in the bank at
the end of a year if you stay on
the farm than if You go to town.
Probably more money will come
to you in town, but you have to
spend so much more that your
savings at the end of a year are
less. From a money standpoint,
farming Is = good business, and
it has never been better than it
is right now.
During the last ten years city
people have been talking and
writing back to the farm" be-
cause they believe that with more
people on the farms, food would
be cheaper in the city. They
think also that the farm is a
more healthful place to live, aad
that many of the poor people of
the cities would be better off out
on the land. They have kept up
their writing and talking year
after year, and as a result I know
of many city boys who have gone
to agricultural colleges to study
farming. / am sure that this
writing and talking about the
beauties of farming has kept
many people on the farm who
otherwise would have gone to
town. Just now there is a lack
of farmers as compared with city
people, and for that reason farm
ing pays as it never paid before.
But if the back to the farm"
movement that city people are
trying to start nowadays is real
" successful, there will come a
time, fifteen, twenty or thirty
years from now, when there may

SKIN DISEASE ON FACE

Barthell, Ky.-I had a skin disease on my face, neck and hands that tor mented me all the time and when I would get hot the places would burn 30 that l had to keep my face wet in cold water. It began as pimples and indeed it was disfguring, for 1t would get in spots on my face and hands as large as quarter of dollar It would get into blisters sometimes and sure did suffer. My face burned all the time. It was this way SO bad for about six years and l tried everything that I could hear of, but nothing did any good.
 One day found the Cuticura Soap and Ointment advertised and ordered some at once. I would wash my face good with the Cuticura Soap and then apply the Cuticura Ointment and they have cured me. It would take half a tablet to tell all suffered in those six years" (Signed) Mrs. Della Hill, Jan. 3. 1912.

 When baking beans, use a few small brown mustard cups for a DOT ton with a bit of pork on top. Such dish makes pleasing change for the lunch basket.
 When cleaning spots on a garment, place blotter under the spot before applying the gasoline. then rub until clean and dry and there will be no rings left on the cloth.
 Raisins cut in halves make nice addition to fruit salad
 When making icing and meringue, use revolving egg beater, as it makes firm, finer-grained texture than a fiat whip. The meringue if full Of large holes is not so attractive, and is more apt to fall after baking.
 When beating whites for a cake, we use fat whip, as we want as much air in the egg as possible, to hold up the dough and make it light.

 "A rotten habit, walking in ones sleep!" remarked MT Brown, the will lage humorist. Do any of your fel- lows suffer from it?''
 Young Smithson, who had always had horrid but unfounded fear that he was delicate, rose to the occasion immediately.
 Yes, l do," he remarked, "and have done so for years. D'you know any remedy?"
 Do I know any remedy? I should Jolly well think l dol" replied the hu- morist. Why, Tn give you the pre- scription now, and you can take it round to an ironmonger."

 He continued reading for few minutes and then glanced at her. From the faraway look in her eyes ne knew her thoughts were not upon the item he was reading. So. turn ing the sheet as an excuse for pause. he continued as follows: ap- parently reading:
 Last night. about o'clock in the afternoon, just a few minutes before breakfast, a hungry boy about sixty years old bought an orange for nine pins and tbrew 1t through a concrete wall twenty feet thick With a cry or despair he jumped into a dry mill pond, broke his arm at the knee Joint, and was drowned. It was only ten years later, on the same day and al the same hour, that a goat gave birth to six elephants. A high wind then came up and killed three dead horses and a wooden cigar Indian What do you think of that, dear?" he questioned, suddenly.
