SIL.o IN A SHELTERED PLACE
Much of Trouble and Loss Caused by
Freezing Can Be Prevented by
Exercising Little Care.

(By A. D. WILSON. Director of Agricul-
tural Extension Division and Farmers
Institute, University Farm, ST. Paul,
Mimi
None of the types Of silos put upon
the market so far will keep silage in
this latitude without more or less
freezing taking place during the win
ter months, although those having
air spaces in the walls seem to freeze
somewhat less than the type having
solid walls.
Experience has shown, however,
that freezing can be kept within rea.
sonable limits in silos of any common
type by the exercise of little extra
care. A good tight roof should pc
provided and the doors should be kept
closed as much as possible to prevent
circulation Of air above the silage and
to keep in the heat generated by the
silage.
In using, it is important to keep
the surface of the silage level or even
trif1e high in the middle, not allow
ing a hole to form in the center, as Is
sometimes done when silage begins to
freeze around the edges. We have
never had any bad results from feed.
ing frozen silage, but it Will not keep
long after thawing out.
Since most Of the freezing is due to
cold air above the silage, it is possible
TO afford considerable protection by
keeping the surface covered with hay
or straw, or better still, blanket OF
canvas.
II in addition to these precautions
1t is convenient to build the silo in Q
sheltered place, there should be little
loss or trouble from freezing.

The Noisy Moves AGAIN.

Ezra Pound, the Philadelphia poet,
whose work has thrilled London, said
the other day of Alfred Noyes. his
British rival:
MOVES declares that my torch OF
diluted Browningism, after a feeble
splutter, has gone out. Now, In re-
venge, let me tell you a story about
Noyes and Swinburne.
Some time after Rossetti's death
Noyes wrote long memorial poem.
He was so proud of this poem that he
waylaid Swinburne one morning on
Putney common and insisted on read
ing it to him.
"Swinburne tried to escape. but
Noyes bawled the whole 80 stanzas
into his poor deaf ear. Then. at the
end, he said, with complacent smile:
There, sir, is my poem on Ros-
setti. What do you think of it?'
" 1t would be BETTER Swinburne an
swered, If you had died and Rossetu
had written the poem."

Decline of Hogs on the Farm.
Although the estimated number Of
swine Oh farms January 1, 1914, 49,.
93S, 900, was 1.3 per cent more than
the census number for 1910, the de-
cline from 1913 was 81 per cent. This
decline is partly accounted for by the
extensive prevalence of hog cholera.
by high-priced corn, by the dencieIlt
production of 1913 because of Sc
we're long-continued and extensive
drought and because of the high prices
of swine for slaughter. Notwithstand-
ing the high price of hogs for slaugh-
ter, farmers found that they could not
profitably feed the high-priceo corn.
At the same time, the price Of hogs
per hundred pounds was high relative
ly although not as high as corn. In
this situation hogs were often sent TO
market understood.
The average size of hogs on the
farm January l, has never been direct
ly ascersaiaed but it may be COM
puted from the average price per head
divided by the average price per hun
dred pounds, as ascertained by this
bureau. AS a result of this operation,
the average weight OF hog on the
farm January 1, 1914, was las pounds;
in 1913 it was 144 pounds, in 1912 140
pounds; and in 1911. 131 pounds. The
marketing of DOWNRIGHT hogs which
has been frequently commented upon
In livestock and commercial papers
during the last three years, Is appar-
ent in the foregoing average weights,
which are apparently high because
the lighter hogs have been sold off.
The average value of swine on
farms per head January 1, 1914, was
5000, or 5.5 per cent above the aver
age value Of January 1, 1913, and t3.4
per cent above that of 1910. In con-
sequence of the increased value of
swine per head, the total value of all
swine on farms is estimated at $612,-
951 900, or a gain of 1.6 per cent over
1913 and 14.9 per cent over 1910. The
diminution of swine January l, 1914,
was more than counterbalanced by
the increased price per head of those
that were on hand.

''BOUND FOR

THtT STARTED FROM

Four horses abreast attached to

with the words, Bound for Canada"
on the schooner's side, was the object
of considerable interest as it passed
on the way northward from Nebraska
short time ago through the towns
in Nebraska, South and North Dakota.
After some weeks of strenuous travel
ing in this way, Mr.. ]. =. Jensen made
the overland trip from Jameson, Ne
braska, and with his little family made
the regular customs entry at North
Portal, in the province Of Sasbatche-
wan. Their destination was Willow
Bunch, a district that Mr.. Jensen
had selected as one in which It was
possible for him to work out his for
tune. He located on good half sec
ton of land. and intended putting on
it some cattle that would fatten on
the wild prairie grass that grows SO
luxuriously in that district. In addi-
ton to this his purpose was to cults
vate portion of it and raise wheat.
oats, barley or fax. In short, life
devoted to mixed farming was what
he had in view and 1t is easy to I'M
derstand that he will make success

Although his beginning may be
small, it may safely be said that Mr..

SILAGE A COMPLETE RATION
Hay From Spanish Peanuts, Tops and
Nuts Cured Together, is Favored
Feed Twice Daily.

Silage is one OF the best stock feeds
but alone 1t does not make a complete
ration any more than any other feed
Silage is rich in carbohydrates and
needs n feed rich in protein to go with
it. Alfalfa hay and silage make one
of the best combinations. Some dry
land farmers are growing sweet clover
and tie hay from this plant makes a
good feed with which to balance
silage. Cow pea hay Is another good
feed to balance silage. The hay from
Spanish peanuts, tops and nuts cured
together is ideal to feed with silage
and is sure crop throughout the
southwest, says the Oklahoma Farm
er. Feeders of steers in the northern
corn belt feed silage and corn and
make daily gain of two pounds per
head per day on their fattening cat
tie. Many feeders in Oklahoma last
winter fed silage, corn or kaflr grain
and cottonseed meal and their steers
gained four to FIVE pounds per head
per day.
A little dry forage should be fed
daily to animals eating silage.
There is tendency to feed too much
silage. In feeding large herds of dairy
cows, the cows weighing 900 to 1900
pounds each, 80 pounds per head daily
is the average quantity to secure the
largest profits. Horses should be
started slowly on silage, five to six
pounds each daily and the amount
should be gradually increased until
they have all they will eat up clean.
This will be about 20 pounds per head
per day when they have plenty Of
hay. A horse doing heavy work
should not be fed over eight to twelve
pounds OF silage day.
Silage should be fed twice daily to
all kinds of stock and only enough
should be taken out of the silo and
fed to supply the animals with what
they will eat up clean at each feed.
Silage left in the hunks or In piles
outside of the silo undergoes a change
In a few hours that makes it unpalat-
able and reduces it's feeding value.

DIMIkUTION OF SHEEP
DECLINE OF 81 PEE CENT FROM
1918 is NOTED.
Has Many Distinct Advantages as
Farm Anlmal--Much More Eco
nomical to Feed Than Steer
Leads as Meat-Fo od.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment IL Agricultural
A heavy decline in the number of
sheep has taken place since 1910, ac-
cording to the department of agricul-
ture. In that year the number en-
farms as ascertained by the census
was 52,44S,0 900; the estimate for Janu-
airy 1, 1914, is 49,719,OOO, a decline Of
3.4 per cent from 1913 and of 81 per
cent from 1910.
Among the causes that have con-
tributed to the diminution of number
of sheep is the scarcity of labor re-
quired for their care, the high prices
of sheep and lambs for slaughter, the
displacement of sheep by expanding
dairylng, deficient pasturage and for
age on account Of drought, destruction
by dogs, the settlement Of range land
previously occupied by sheep, and the
low price of wool; also the increasing
value of land.
The estimates of the department for
the number of sheep on farms in the
United States on January l, 1914, show
a decided decrease as compared with
1913, according to the department Of
Agriculture. The apparent tendency
toward a decline in the number of
sheep on farms has been noted for
some time and has caused sheep rails
ing on farms to be referred to as a
waning industry. A word here con-
corning the economy of sheep and
their place in agricultural practice
may not be out of place.
AS farm animal per Sc, the sheep
has many distinct advantages. The
sheep is a much more economical ami
NAL to feed tnan the steer, returning
larger amount of gain per 100
pounds of feed eaten. When Ills ca
pacity to consume roughage is con-
sidered, he is more economical than
the hog. The sheep yields double
return-meat at an economical cost,
and wool as a y-product-which will
go far toward defraying the cost Of
keep. Sheep are prolific. A farm
| flock which does not yield at least 100
per cent increase is very poor indeed.
A flock of sheep on farm will, in
time, clear it of weeds, without ex-
pense to the owner, if allowed to
range the lanes, the stubble fields aft

an uncooked bit of macaroni for the
bone, to which attach a regular chop

supply. To make the tulips, use large
red peppers, cutting the top edge to
look like a tulip; fill with creamed po-
tatoes, placing a circle of hot potato
chips around the edge Of plate or

shredded lettuce or endive with eggs
