CORN FOR FILLING THE STLc
Grains Should Be Well Denied anc
Glazed, and Few of Lower
Leaves Turned Brown.

Corn is ready to harvest for filling
the silo about the same time it is
ready for harvesting the fodder; the
grains should be well dented and
glazed, and a few of the lower leaves
turned brown. If the corn is cut too
green the silage will be sour, and the
feeding value decreased, while, on the
other hand, if the corn is too ripe il
will not pack we'll in the silo, large
amount of water will be necessary to
insure its keeping quality. and there
is danger of dry hot, which lowers the
feeding value.
Sorghum should be harvested for
the silo while the seeds are in the
dough stage. Like corn, if it is left in
the field until it has become too dry,
the silage viii contain "A larger amount
of indigestible material, anu will not
make a good quality of silage.
The time of harvesting the crops for
filling the silo-that is. the stage in
which the crops should be harvested
must be given great consideration if

Pea vines. soy beans, and other hay
crops should be harvested for the silo
at the same time as for making hay

of the heads are ripe.
The corn harvester is becoming very
popular for harvesting corn for filing
the silo, and the work is carried on
much faster than when the hand

the amount Of corn or other crops

expense of a harvester hard cutting

PEOPLE DID SOME THINKING
OF Course This Is Fable But It Is
Possible That Such a Thing
May Happen.

A certain people we're much given
to Ceploring war War, they kept in
sisting, was poor business.
Their king heard them, but he
didn't take them seriously The very
first chance he got he picked a quar-
rel with a neighboring power, and
that done he lifted up his voice in the
old way
The fatherland is in danger!" he
cried. The honor of the nation is
assailedl My children, be patriots
But they couldn't see him. Not on
your life!" they made answer, You
can fool all the people some of the
time and some of the people all Of
the time, but you cannot fool all the
people all the time!"
Whereupon the king made haste to
patch up his quarrel and was very
careful forever after not to pick an
other.
THIS fable teaches that we have still
some distance to go before universal
peace can be anything but a joke

cred and the walls are more rigid
than those of the rectangular or octag-
onsl forms. This results in more per-
feet preservation of the silage.
The silo should be placed outside
rather than inside the barn. AS a silo
ordinarily does not need the protec-
ton of barn, it is not economical to
use barn space for this purpose, An
exception to this rule may be made in
the case of the round barn. A silo in
the middle of q round barn serves to
support the superst Tucture as well as
to place the silage IN a position for
convenient feeding. A silo so placed
however, is liable to 5e very incon-
venient TO fill The most Popular loca-
ton is not more than a few feet from
the barn and opening into separate
feeding room. The d. of the barn
can then be closed md the silage
doors kept cut of the stable at milking
time
The silo should not be built in the
ground so deeply as to make it neces-
saiy to lift the silage more than FIVE
feet in getting it out from the bottom.
In other words, the bottom should not
be more than FIVE feet below the low
est door.
The Size and Capacity of the Silo.
The diameter of the silo will depend
upon the amount of eiIage to re fed
daily. The silage should be removed
from the top at the rate OF 11s to 8
inches per day. depending upon eli
matte conditions. The warmer the
weather the more silage must be re-
moved from the surface daily In order
TO prevent spelling. For the winter
feeding season it is safer to figure
upon removing two inches daily rather
than smaller amount A common
error in building is to make the diam.

SPYING UPON A HUSBAND.

That gives the stamp and standard to

working for the man she loves is a

his view with frown instead of a

The weight of cubic foot of silage
varies according to the pressure to
which it is subjected, but in a silo 80
feet deep it will average about forty
pounds. So, by knowing the amount
of silage to be fed daily, it is possible
to estimate what the diameter of the
silo should be to permit the removal
of certain number of inches in depth
each day.
