MAKING AND FEEDING SILAGE

Silage during the last three decades
has come into general use throughout
the United States, especially in those
regions where the dairy industry has
reached its greatest development. Sill
age is universally recognized as good
and cheap feed for farm stock, and par
ticularly so for cattle and sheep, are the
observations made in Farmers Bulletin
578.
Silage is the best and cheapest form
in which succuIent feed can be pro-
vided for winter use, continues the bulle-
tin. An acre Of grain can be placed in
the silo at cost not exceeding that of
shocking, husking, grinding and shred
ding. Crops can be put in the silo dur
ing weather that cannot be used in max
ing hay or CURING fodder, which is an
important consideration in some local
tiles.
A given amount of corn in the form
of silage will produce more milk than
the same amount when shocked and
dried. There is less waste in feeding
silage than in feeding fodder. Good
silage properly fed is all consumed, and
in addition very palatable. Like other
succulent feeds it has beneficial effect
upon the digestive organs, and some
can be kept on a given area of land
when it is the basis Of the ration.
On account of the smaller cost for
labor, silage can be used for supplement
ting pastures more economically than
can soiling crops, unless only a small
amount of supplementary feed is re-
duired. Converting the corn crop into
silage clears the land sooner than if the
corn crop is shocked and husked, and
because of these advantages silage, in
the general opinion of dairy farmers,
has increased milk production per COW
and has increased the profits per acre.

Addition Nearing Completion

The brick work on the new addition
to the Sussex County Court House, is
rapidly nearing completion, and work
on the interior has been started. When
completed, this will be one Of the most
handsome buildings in the county, and
the opposition to the plans, which some
papers claimed was alarming, is fast
disappearing as the building gains shape.
One of the improvements which will be
gratifying to every resident of town is
to be made to the old town clock. This
historic time piece will be about 60 feet
above the street in its new location and
will be enclosed in glass, and at night
the four faces will be illuminated by
electricity, so that persons in any part
of the town and near by country can
..ell the time.

GAME CONDITION IN DELAWARE

The reports received by the State
Game and Fish Commission from all
parts of the State show that the game
is rapidly increasing. Many breeds of
young quail have already been seen and
rabbits are unusually plentiful. Supt.
A. B. Merriam, of the State Game
Farm, has just reported to Chief
Walden lie Fevre that $50 young
pheasants have hatched, and over a
thousand pheasant eggs are setting.
Experiments are also being conducted
on the State Farm with wild ducks and
quail, and the indications are that the
commission will have many birds to
distribute over the State for stocking
purposes. 1t is hoped that distri-
button can be made within a few
months.
The game fishing has also been un-
usually fine. Most of the ponds and
many of the streams of our State
afford unrivaled bass fishing. Some of
the grandfathers of this fnny tribe
have been landed since the season
opened on May goth. Quite a list of
applications for fish for stocking pur-
poses has been filed with the Bureau of
Fisheries at Washington, and notice
has been received that all of the appli-
cations will be filled in order.
The strong protest lodged with the
Department of Agriculture against the
Federal regulation, which prohibited
reed bird shooting in Delaware, has
resulted in the Department issuing a
notice that the reed bird season would
be restored to Delaware. The new
regulation provides an open season on
reed birds during September and
October. This news has been hailed
with delight by thousands of Delaware
sportsmen, whose chief delight is hunt
| ing for the toothsome reedie, and again
permits them to enjoy their fayorite
sport as heretofore.
Very few reports of violations of the
gains laws are being received, and the
general observance of the laws is very
gratifying to the commissioners. A
noticeable increase in the numbers of
our native song birds is also reported,
and beneficial results in the lessening
of bugs and insects will surely follow.
/ Every one is urged to cooperate in the
good work. and give the birds a chance.
Dogs and cats are the worst enemies Of
the birds, and should be restrained
from doing damoge. Many stray dogs
and cats infest our State, and should
be destroyed on sight. The English
sparrow IS probably The worst enemy
