COMBINE CORN AND
PEAS FOR THE SlL0
SiIage to Keep Well Must Be
Thoroughly Mixed, Evenly
Distributed and Tramped.

Corn seems to be the best single
silo crop for the silo, and by COM
bining it with cowpeas or soy beans,
the feeding value is greater, ton for
ton than of corn alone.
When corn is fully tasseled, 1t con-
tains less than one-fOurth as much
dry matter as when the ears are fully
glazed. From this time to maturity,
the increase is but slight.
For the silage to keep well, the
corn should not be cut until most of
the kernels are glazed and hard. If
too ripe, the silage will not settle well
and the air will not be sufficiently
excluded to prevent spelling.
IThe corn is most easily handled by
cutting with a corn binder and using
a silage cutter Of sufficient capacity
to avoid the necessity of cutting bands.
II silage is to keep we'll, the leaves
and heavier parts must be kept thor
oughly mixed, evenly distributed in
the silo, and we'll tramped next the
wall.
After filling the top, six inches
should be wet at once and the whole
surface tramped every day for week
to obtain a thin, compact layer which
will exclude the air.
An investigation recently concluded
at the Indiana experiment station has
proved without doubt the high value
of corn silage as feed for lambs.

CBy ELMER HENDERSON, Il!nois)
OF recent years there has been
great deal Of agitation over whether
the large type or medium type animal
is the most profitable. The owners
Of the large type animals have taken
it for granted that their animals are
as profitable as the medium type per
unit of grain consumed, and argued
therefrom that as their animals were
larger and carried more grain to mar
ket they must be the more profitable.
Such is not necessarily the case.
Let us look at the case from the
beginning, as it were. Suppose we
take the Shropshire as typical of the
medium type of sheep, and the Ok
ford-Hampshire as eXemplifying the
large type. We find by experience
on our own farm that while seven or
eight Shropshires can be kept on an
acre of land, five is all we could pos
sibly figure on keeping if Oxfords or
Hampshires were kept. Upon this ba-
sis, where a man had pasture enough
to keep 140 Shropshires, he could keep
only 100 OXfords, Hampshires or Cots
wolds.
The difference in grain eaten is also
something immense. While we are
feeding our Shropshire ewes only two
thirds of oats daily our OXfords get as
much as one and one-quarter daily.
Almost twice the amount.
The advocates of the larger type of
sheep admit this to be true, but they
say, "our sheep will weigh 80 pounds
at the age yours will Neigh rs
pounds"
Let us grant this for the time being.
There is yet another consideration.
While your 100 ewes of the large type
are doing well if they raise 100 lambs
one and one-half is common and one
and three-quarters lambs per eve is
not unusual in well handled Shrop.
shire flocks. One and one-half lambs
per eve may be taken as fair aver
age. Our $40 Shropshire ewes would
have produced for us 210 lambs
against the 100 lambs of the larger
type sheep.
Then, too, our Shropshire ewes are
such superior mixers and the lambs
such perfect mutton animals, that
when they go to market there is no
comparison between the condition of
the two lots of lambs. While the one
lot is big and rough and not fat

tucks decorated at each side with
small silk tassels. Narrow plated net
finishes the neck and extends down
the front. The sleeves are edged with
a much wider plating of the same net.
Snap fasteners, or hooks and eyes, are
used for fastenings, and a rose of
chiffon or ribbon, or one made of the
material of the negligee, finishes the
front.

Good to choice heavy lambs...... 5.2595.75
Upon this basis we have:

Suppose the Shropshires produce
only one lamb per eve. as with the
large type, we would still have a bal

to the lower cost of maintenance, as
follows:
40 shropshires q rs lbs each, 1880

M>re opinions count for nothing
Facts are what CONT, based upon the
actual weights of animals and the
amount of feed used. 1t is when we
look upon these facts in their real

it is that there are more sheep carry

than of all ether breeds combined.
The following charming and fitting
compliment was paid the breed by Mr..
Pierce of Shrewsbury, England; ITS
a farmers sheep, rent paying sheep,
a tenants sheep. It's a money max

BREEDING THE FARM
STOCK FOR PURPOSE
Combine JudiCiouS Selection With
Good Judgment-Do Not
Mate Extremes.

We should breed the best, and breed
for a definite purpose.
The first requisite Of success in
breeding is the love of the animal.
All breeding animals should have
sound constitution.
Breed only from pure-bred males.
Breed dairy cows or beef cows
never try mixture.
Judicious selection should be
coupled with good Judgment.
Do not breed animals that have an
inherited tendency to disease.
Breed only from mature animals.
Avoid inbreeding except to render
permanent some desirable quality.
Do not mate extremes-have the
crosses in harmony.
Good care and food, comfort and
quietude should be meted out to every
animal bearing young
Pure air and sunshine, pure water
and comfort make the only ideal en-
vironment.
