Silos should be built in time to take
care of the crops before frost comes,
and the thrifty farmer will build as
early as possible.
| built a round silo 16 feet inches
in diameter, by 80 feet high, and
placed in it about seven acres of
drilled corn, well cared. and three
acres of hill corn from the shock, all
cut and blown into the silo, mixed as
it went and wet down we'll

The corn put in this way furnished
not only the roughage but concen-
trates, as all needed to balance the
ration was four pounds of gluten meal
and four pounds of wheat bran per
day for each COW.

sows, and with practically no other
feed, never saw stock look better on

We found the best way to feed was
to feed the bran and gluten meal be-
fore and during milking time. and the
ensilage after milking The milk was
bought by one Of the large milk com.
panies which supply Chicago with bot
tied milk, and was pronounced by them
a fine article testing on the average

For a dairy Of fifty cows, two
round silos, each eighteen feet in di-
ameter by thirty-six feet high, should
furnish enough for the winters feed

dry time next fall
In providing plenty of succulent
food of this nature for the dairy milk
can be made better and cheaper, and
more COWS can be kept on the same
number Of acres.
In building this fall, do not worry
about the roof until the silo is filled,
no matter about the weather, as
should it rain while filling or later,
it will do no harm, as corn fairly well
matured needs more moisture than it
contains to make the best silage and
will get it in that way.

DAMAGE DONE BY
0VERHEATING HAY
Two Cases of Spontaneous Com
bustion Reported-Thorough
1y Cure Before Stacking.
(By S. Q. MILLERD

10y . V 4hlIsI4liNl
Glover hay is now being put up in
many parts of the country. Already
there are reports of overheating of
clover hay.
In two cases, in Hamilton county,
Ohio. and another near Paducah, KY,
it is reported that spontaneous com
bustion took place and one barn was
burned
There is no doubt that not only
clover, but some other crops, as green
sorghum, will become so hot as to
burst into flame when air is admitted.
1t is claimed that alfalfa will become
so hot as to burn itself up, but there
are no we'll authenticated cases of this
on record.
1t is believed that combustion is
produced by a fungus which is capable
of developing great heat under certain
conditions.
If any part Of clover is put into a
large stack or into a barn in large
quantities before It is properly cured,
and all dampness removed, it is apt to
heat quickly and produce very high
degree of temperature.
The writer has seen hay so hot in
his fathers barns in Illinois that one
could not hold his hands in the mass,
but he has never witnessed a case Of
actual combustion.
In
on a neighbours farm, destroyed by
fire, when it was known positively that
no means Of setting it on fire could
have been near it for days before.
Hot, muggy weather will produce
heat in clover, particularly if it is
heavy and has been cut little too
green, or has been rained upon.
Glover should be tossed up into the
mir if it is damp and be allowed to dry
out before being put into the stack,
and if it is stacked green or put into a
large, close NOV, 1t is pretty sure to
make trouble.
The only way to prevent heating is to
cure clover hay very thoroughly. If the
weather is wet during haying time, the
hay must be given air and cured in
some way II it is bad case, put al
ternate layers of straw or old dry hay
between the layers of new hay
TO prevent heating, the hay should
be distributed lightly over the whole
surface of the stack or now and nc
big load should be dumped into one
spot
Hay gathers moisture very quickly
after SHUTDOWN and the last load
brought in should be allowed to re
main on the wagon overnight, and
when put into the barn next morning
evidence of heat should be carefully
looked for
After hay has been put away, run q
long iron rod into 1t occasionally ano
leave il there n few minutes. If the
hay is heating the rod will tell the
story
It is dangerous TO open up hay tha'
Is very hot, because the admission oil
air is almost sure to start combustion
If the hay is SO hot as to make the
rod unbearable to the hand, the only
thing to do Ia to fill the water bucke'
and send for the neighbors,

WORKING WITH THE
HONEY CATERERS
Beekeepers Often Have Trouble
in Handling Honey in Their
Apiaries in the Fall.
(By F. G. HERMAND

Nectar is usually thin and watery
when first taken into the hive, but as
it is deposited in the cells, less than
a drop at a time, much of the extra wa
ter evaporates, and further to ia.
cilitate evaporation the bees leave the
cells uncapped for several days when
nearly full.
Sometimes the bees accelerate this
ripening process by vigorous tanning
at the entrance of the hives, which
may continue all night, when honey
is coming in fast.
The more thoroughly the honey is
ripened the less liable it is to ferment
fact in chemistry with which the
bees seem to be familiar. The con
sstency of honey depends somewhat
upon the source from which it is
gathered and also upon the haste with
which it is stored
Fond as the bees are of nectar, they
are yet more fond of honey, and will
forsake the fields at any time to col
lect load of ready prepared sweets.
Thus beekeepers often have trouble
in handling the honey in their apiaries
for when the bees get scent of the
alluring harvest they fall upon the
plumber and quickly convey it back to
their hives.
Indeed, under the intoxicating inf1u.
ence of ready-made honey, they often
become demoralized and like miser
at the sight of gold, dream only of &C
quiring the largest possible amount.
Thus swaIms sometimes fight over
the honey, and finally the strong ones
break into the hives of the weak and
rob their neighbors, Old-time bee
is to be handled 1t must be taken into
room and the door closed, or else
there is danger that the whole apiary
may be seized with frenzy for rob-
bling.
Great care must be taken in opening
hives at such times when little or no
honey is coming in from the fields, and
at no time should honey be exposed
in or near the apiary.
Bees do not need daily attention, but
can be given sufficient food at one
time to last all winter. When natural
forage is scarce, bees will collect
honey dew, the waste of cider mills,
fruit juice. the refuse from sugar and
molasses barrels, if available.
But this stuff cannot be called honey
and will prove disastrous to the bees
if left in the hive for the winter.
