Feeding for Great Production.

Alfalfa, beet and corn silage are the
principal feeds used by a. w. Morris
& Sons, noted California dairymen,
who have recently brought out three
Holstein sows. each with record OF
over 1000 pounds of butter In year.
They feed literally on green alfalfa
or alfalfa hay, beets or beet pulp, and
corn silage, giving all that the cows
will eat.
They feed grain moderately, which
consists of two pounds of ground
wheat to one pound of ground barley,
with some bran. 1t has been found
that the cows are In much better con-
dition while milking their best and
eating plenty of beet pulp and silage
with some grain than when milking
only two-thirds as much on alfalfa hay
alone.

ShREDD|NG CORN FOR STOCK |
BRINGS GOOD RESULTS

II will pay you to shred all the corn
YOU use for fodder, especially II this is
done IN autumn before the corn has
stood In the shock through exposure to
n lot of winter rain and snow. II you
have stock enough to use up all your
corn In this way believe you will be
more satisfied with shredding.
Should yod do this shredding; how
ever, all at the same time Il will make
a pretty big stack or harmful OF shred
ded fodder and you want to be careful
about Its heating. Build the stack over
a few lines OF common drain tile laid
together loosely. This will let the air

Farmers have had good results from
filling their silos the second time. One
OF the best dairymen In Illinois filled
his silo for the second time in Decem-
Der last year and II made good feed.
The corn was cut Just before frost and
placed In large shocks. When cutting
this dry corn into the silo u hose Of
water should be run into the blower
constantly so that the feed will be
thoroughly moistened.
While this silage probably Is not OF
as high feeding value as silage cut at
the proper time, yet the fermenting ac-
ton tends to soften the hard corn
stalks and the changes that take place
make II better feed than either COM
mon or shi sdded fodder. Farmers with
whom | have talked on this subject
think that the increased feed value
pays for the cutting and the feed is In
much better condition TO handle

SEALING UP THE SILO TO
KEEP THE AIR OUT

All dairy farmers who use any brains
In connection with their business are
convinced that the silo Is not only
necessity but the best paying In
yestment on the dairy farm. Not
all dairy farms who have invested In
silos have learned how 10 make the
best use OF them. The sllo should
never be allowed TO stand empty, but
the farmer should feed and ill and ar
range the rotation OF his crops In
such way that he has something to
put into 1t as soon as II is nearly
empty. A good many farmers who
have modern silos are not careful
enough In filling them to prevent
spelling OF some silage.
The farmers wife putting up fruit
In glass jar would not think OF for
moment to screw the lid on the
jar without putting on rubber gas
ket' and yet the farmer does this
very thing with his silo when he
closes the doors without putting
pitch or some heavy paint on the
edges OF the doors TO make 1t abso-
lutely air tight when closed. A good
many farmers neglect to seal the top
OF the silo by cutting a load OF old
straw and distributing 1t on top OF
the silage about four inches thick,
wetting 1t and sowing into 1t a lot
OF oats, which when sprouting, Will
form a perfect seal on top that Will
prevent the spelling OF any OF the
silage.
Again. the farmers are negligent
When feeding the silage by leaving
the doors stand open, permitting a
current of air to pass over 1t and
thus hasten fermentation, especially
IN the summer time.

THEY HAVE DETECTIVES
after THE KANSAS COWS

Twenty-six farmers In Dickinson
county. Kansas. organized a cow-test-
ing association last year. with the help
OF the Kansas Agricultural College.
They hired man to do the testing.
lie worked at the home OF each man
one day every month. The cost TO
the farmers was about $3.50 for each
COW for the year. for the $40 cows
entered.
Before the plan had been in opera
tion very long some farmers began to
sell cows. They would have been de-
liberately robbing themselves II they
had not sold after they found out how
poor certain of the animals were.
At the end OF the year the associa-
tion had complete records for l3i OF
the COWS. These l3i cows averaged
a return of S2.7j for each s worth
of feed consumed. The pest one gave
1888 and the poorest gave 60 cents
for each 81 in feed. The five poorest
averaged a profit OF $3.50 each, and
the five best COWS averaged a profit OF
s10l .2S each for the year. While the
man with the poorest animal lost SILL
Go, the man with the best gained
s145.21. The average profit on the
whole bunch was $62.3l head.
All but one of the ten best cows
were OF dairy breed, and all except
one Of the ten poorest were not OF
dairy breed. The best COW ate "A
third more than the poorest, but she
gave almost ten times as much but
ter fat.

corn into the silo when in the milk
but the best feeders have come 10
the conclusion that the proper time ,o
cut for ensilage is when the corn
is ripe enough to go into the shock
II frost strikes II before that time. Of
course, 1t should be cut down and ST.
loed as soon as possible. Corn cut too
green makes a strongly acid ensilage
which Is less palatable and contains
less nuthritive value than the later cut
corn. Unless your corn is very dry.
indeed, 1t will not need any water
added at the time of putting into the
silo. If dried thru hard frost and slow
filling, few barrels of water may
he added after the silo is filled, but
for ordinary conditions this is not
recommended.

The So Gaining in Popularity Every Year Where It Is
In Use By the Dairymen and Farmers.

Al no time has the silo been more
oonu,ar than II Is to-day. At the
a,osent time would say there are
about l5O silos in use in Lancaster
county. Pennsylvania. While this is a
vorv small number for a county of the
si,e of Lancaster, and for one In
which so many cattle are being fed, /
know It to be fact that there never
hos becn a greater number of silos
IN use. This popularity is rapidly in
creaslng. During the past year have
been either directly or indirectly in
strumental in having about 25 silos
placed.
There are about 10000 cattle fatten-
Cd in this county every year From
figures which | have 1t has been found
absolutely impossible to make any pro-
Goods on this feeding work above value
of manure without the use of the silo.
Feeding experiments at our own sta
ton this year have demonstrated to
our farmers that without the use of
the silo cattle will be fed in a direct
loss. or, In other words, market price
will not be received on the farm for
grains fed. We have no system of
feeding either fat cattlesor cows which
can adequately compete with the use
Of silage.
You cannot concrete the inside OF a
pit silo heavily enough to keep out
the water in flat or poorly drained
sIlo. Unless your buildings are To-
Gated on "A hill or some other place
having first-class natural drainage,
don't try to use pit silo.
II you want to experiment you
might dix a silo to the required depth
on flat land, then dig n six-inch well
In the bottom OF the silo down 10
permanent water vein. Curb up the
well and put q drain head over the
top. Put n few inches OF gravel on
top OF this, then your silo floor. This
method OF drainage has worked salts
factorily in n number OF cases for
draining ponds and sink holes. II
might do fully as well for draining a
silo.
A silo 10 feet In diameter and 20
feet deep will give you a capacity OF
20 or 27 tons. A good way TO build
this would be Is feet below ground
and five feet above.

METHODS OF SPREADING
THE HOG CHOLERA Germ

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Ore, June.-Hog raisers OF
Oregon need to be on the alert to pre-
vent the introduction and spread OF
the dread disease into their parts
of the state. Since the disease is due
to a germ OF microscopic size II
naturally follows that IL can be COM
municated TO well hogs only by per-
mitting the germ TO be carried TO
them. A knowledge OF the different
methods OF carrying the germ from
infected to we'll hogs is essential 10
prevention. Some OF these methods
of spread are given by DR.. b. T..
Simms, veterinarian at the Agricul-
tural College, as follows
1.-By direct contact with hogs suf-
fering from cholera.
2.-By carriers, that is, hogs that
have recovered from cholera but still
pass germs with their droppings.
BY humans that have come into
contact with infected hogs or prem
ises.
4.-By dogs, coyotes, buzzards and
other carrion eating animals that have
fed on the carcasses of infected hogs

Do NOT PASTURE CORN
STALKS, TOO DANGEROUS

This may seem like broad biz OF
advice, In view OF the millions OF acres
OF stalls which are fed off every year
In the corn belt. But Il isn't our sug-
gestion. 1t is the advice OF the u 3.
ID. A.
"As death from cornstalk disease Is
generally sudden, and there is little op-
portunity for treatment" says a gov
ernment publication. animals should
not be turned into field with stand
ing stalks"
There are good reasons aside from
loss by this mysterious disease why
the stalks should not be fed off in the
field; and for this reason. If for no
other, we point in the advice. The
feeding of standing stalks is usually
safe, but every man who practices 1t
runs the risk of finding dead IN his
yards valuable cattle which were ready
TO help in making profits the day be-
fore.
Nobody seems to know just what
there is which occasionally gets into
a field OF stalks which is deadly pol
son TO cattle. But we do know that II
the stalks are cut at the proper time
for making fodder, cured and removed
from the field the danger is avoided.
Stalks fed in the barnyard are safe,
and better than stalks fed in the field
because they are cut when all the feed
ing value is in them, or should be- at
least.
Stalks shredded and fed in the barn
or ward are better because the stalks
themselves will be eaten. Stalks made
into silage at the proper time are bet

FEEDING THE CORN EAR.wORM.

The damage resulting from the work
OF this insect has amounted 10 five and
one-half million dollars In two years
In this state three full broods reach
maturity. The larvae OF these three
broods feed mainly upon corn. The
larva enters the soil in the fall and
burrows down about three inches

crawls out. Within a few hours It VIII

ness. The females deposit their eggs
upon the leaves of the young corn. and
In four or five days they hatched. The
larya feeds on the leaves near the
tender curl for about eighteen days.
then the full-grown larva enters the
soil. II remains in the soil about
thirteen days, and then comes out as
the second brood In early July. The
second and third broods feed upon the
tender corn silk and grains. The corn
earworrl moth is a strong flyer ana
will travel long distance to find corn
that is in a stage of development suit
able to its needs.
The method of controlling this pest
is by destroying those that pass the
winter in the soil. Late fall or early
winter plowing will destroy a very
large per cent due to exposure 10 'he
weather and birds. To have good re-
sults all the farmers in the community
should plow their infested fields. one
farmer alone cannot get rid OF the
pest, because there are always enoush
IN his neighbors' field to Unrest MS
crop. A farmer that plants his corn as
early as possible will escape the large
per cent of loss due TO this insect De-
cause the corn will then be past the
attractive stage when the third ana
largest prood appears. Charles Dh

are juicy and palatable to the stock,
