sIL0 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.,
Minn.)
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 a little extra
care. A good tight roof should be
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 siIage level or even
a trifie 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~sflage, it is possible
to afford considerable protection by
keeping the surface covered with hay
or straw. or better still. a blanket or
canvas.
If in addition to these precautions
it is convenient to build the silo in a
sheltered place. there should be little
loss or trouble from freezing.

Americans we're struggling with the
problems of custom regulations in
China.
Correspondence followed and the let
tiers became frequent. More photo

and then came the declarations of
love and a proposal that was accepted.
This was about two months ago, and
now following the announcement of
the engagement, Miss Hulse and her
friends are preparing for her trip to

PeeIina onions for a LIVING.

The profession of onion peeling is
not n that obtains much notice, yet
there are at least five hundred women
in the East end of London earning their
living by removing the skins of onions.
With practice, they can make four or
five shillings per day. Very often they
have been peeling since childhood,
daughters succeeding mothers.
1t is not a profession you can learn
in one lesson, for the skin must be
removed by hand, or the onion Juices
are of no use for picking. The onions
are always peeled in water. This is
not to save the eyes of the peeler, but
is done to keep the onion white.

the overland trip from Jameson, Me-

the regular customs entry at North

had selected as one in which it was
possible for him to work out his for

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 cult
yate a portion of it and raise wheat.
oats, barley or fax. In short, a life
devoted to mixed farming was what
ne had in view and it is easy to un-
derstand that he will make a success
OF it, and in a year or so will attach
more land holdings.
Although his beginning may be
small, 1t may safely be said that Mr..
Jensen, like thousands of others who
have begun life in western Canada on

will prosper. He will not be far from a

the corn is full grown. AS a scaven-
ger, even a goat Is not more useful
than a sheep.
AS meat-food animals sheep have
never been sufficiently appreciated in
the United States. They are, however,
of very great value. They must be
classed with hogs and poultry as the
most available animals to supply meat
for home use on the average farm.
They are readily slaughtered, the
meat can be kept without difficulty,
it cuts up without waste in sizes which
are convenient for the average family,
and the meat is nutritious, wholesome
and palatable when properly cooked.
The healthfulness of the sheep alone
gives it front rank as a meat-food
animal. Sheep rarely have tubercu-
losis or other diseases communicable
to man.
The foregoing statements are axio-
matte. II the sheep industry is SO in
viting, why do the farmers seem to be
showing a tendency to curtail sheep
raising? There are probably three
principal causes.
First - Intestinal parasites, princi-
pally stomach worms, cause serious
losses in farm fiocks over the whole
country, and almost entire lamb crops
are sometimes exterminated. In no
farming sections are sheep free from
this danger, and no breed of sheep is
immune, although some breeds-the
Merinos, for example-are less sus-
ceptible than others. No infallible
cure for stomach worms is known,
but it is possible to control them eco
nomically by keeping the lambs away
from the eve except when nursing,
and by a system Of pasture rotation.
Unless a farmer is willing to take pre-,
cautions in the management of the
flock he should not raise sheep.
Second-Cur dogs are almost as
great a hindrance to the sheep indus
try as parasites. The only protection
against them is to keep the flock dur
ing the day where it can be watched
and to put it into a dog-proof inclos-
ure at night. An authentic case has
recently been reported from Michigan
where a flock of more than 200 head
were all run to death in one night by
two cur dogs. Dog-tight night folds
a be built of woven wire at small
expense.
Third-Farmers have not generally
recognized the proper place of the
sheep in agriculture in the settled
regions. Too much Importance is
placed or wool. Except on the range
where land is cheap, the wool should
be regarded as an incidental side
line to help defray the cost of han
ding. Raising sheep for wool alone
does not pay n farms, and the at
tempts of farmers to make it pay is
undoubtedly largely responsible for
the prevailing opinion that sheep are
not profitable on expensive land. Sheep
are raised in England on some Of the
most expensive land in the kingdom,
but they are raised as meat animals
and not as wool producers; the wool
is a %by-product, as it should be in
farm 1ocks.
If only rs per cent Of the farms on
which there are now no sheep should
have a flock Of not over % or 80 ewes,
managed with reasonable care and
protected against dogs, not only would
