PROPER SILAGE CORN
Select Varieties That Win Pro-
duce Large Fodder.
Most Important Essential 10 to Find
Kind That Will Mature In Your
Locality-Silo ls Always Prof.
table to Farmer

In selecting variety of corn for
silage always use one that will ma
ture its grain. Other things being
equal, select a variety that produces
large fodder as the yield will be
greater.
There are special ensilage varieties
such as Virginia Ensilage corn" but
before trying any of these be sure to
know whether or not it will mature
in your locality.
Corn can be planted somewhat thick
er than generally used in growing
grain but not thick enough to prevent
the good ear development
One dairyman who has had good
success in growing corn for the silo
and puts up about 1000 tons a year
says that he plants one-third more
seed for the silage corn than for the
corn grown for grain.
The amount, however depends much
upon the variety and the conditions of
the soil
The size of the sllo of course de-
ponds upon the number of cattle to
be fed. 1t should never be less than
20 feet high because pressure is neces-
sary to preserve the silage.
The higher the better A good rule
is to have it twice as high as the
diameter. The following table will

to prevent it from sending up top
or above-ground growth, which finally
causes the roots to die. This is the
basic principle which must be kept
in mind at all times. The top of the
plant serves much the same purpose
as the lungs of animals, so that if the
plant rs continually deprived of all
that vital part 1t must soon die.

ADVANCE MADE IN GREENLAND
Country Growing and Progressing IN
Civilization Through Energy of
Denmark,

The last census of Greenland shows
that that Danish colony has a total
population of 13,459, as against 1888
In 1901. The increase during the last
ten years is the largest on record for
similar period. The native popula-
ton, which numbers 1905. constitutes
almost the entire number of inhabi-
tants, and immigration is practically
or no consequence. Europeans mum
Der only 3S4, as against 272 In 1901.
The slight increase is due to importa-
ton of European labor to work some
newly discovered copper mines. OF
the 1884 Europeans, 70 we're born in
Greenland, 286 In Denmark, on the
Faroe Islands, and "a in other lands.
The largest settlement In Greenland
is Sydproven, which has a population
of 766, and the smallest is Skansen. in
North Greenland, with 46 inhabitants.
Only 26 of the male population are
over sixty years of age, while "A of the
female population have passed their
sixtieth year. Out of every 1000 of
the male population there were found
$50 unmarried. 319 married and 81
widowers. Among the women the ra-
ito per 1000 was discovered to be SGT
unmarried, 2SS married, and lis wild

bled in the last 100 years. Denmark
is slowly but surely giving the people
of Greenland civilization. Polygamy
does not now exist. In 1901 there
were only three men who had mora
than one wife.

PROBLEM OF WINTER BUTTER
Most Important Part of Work ls
Proper Ripening of Cream-Churn
at Least Twice a Week.
(By s. c. MILLER.)

We cannot hope to make good but.
ter without the proper ripening OF
the cream. This is in fact the most
important part of the work. Most
farm people keep Swimming during
the entire week, putting all into one
lot, and often the last days churning
is skinned directly into the churn,
and Of course this has not ripened at
all
This plan gives cream of six diff.
ferent periods of ripening. 1t is al
most impossible to get good butter
from week-old cream.
Churning should be done at least
twice a week. After the cream is
taken off 1t should be kept at low
temperature to discourage the growth
of bacteria until about twelve hours
before churning, when the starter
should be added to ripen it, and the
temperature raised to 65 degrees or
little over.
In. summer churning can be done at
5S degrees, but in winter the temper
ature should be from six to eight de-
grees higher. If churned at more
than 50 degrees a good deal of the
curd may be Incorporated, and this
will make butter of a cheesy flavor,
which does not keep we'll
Rancid butter is caused by insult
ficient washing The wilk left in the
butter will soon become strong, and it
should be all washed out, care being
taken, however, not to overwash the
butter. as this will take out the good
flavor.
In sailing, the mass should be
spread out thinly and the salt
sprinkled over evenly, because it is
almost impossible to work the salt
through all of the butter If it is
thrown all in one place.
Streaked or notified butter is near
ly always caused by uneven sailing.
After sailing. the butter should be al
lowed to stand for FIVE or six hours
and then worked again.
Our experience is that unless the
farmer is well equipped to make but
ter in very large quantities, with ac-
cess to a good private trade which
will pay fair prices, it is better to
sell the cream than to attempt to
make butter for the market

Every grower should know that ma

LEAF MOLD MOST VALUABLE
Necessary Addition to- Soil In Grow
ing Seedlings in Open Air-Turn
and Water Leaves often,

Leaf mold is a valuable and neces-
sary addition to the soil, used in pot
ting plants, in the hot bed, or for
growing seedlings in the open air 1t
is also fine when used for a mulch on
the lawn. 1t makes soil friable and
aids root formation.
Dig a hole large enough to accom-
modate the leaves you have gathered,
and pack them in layers, stamping
and watering each layer. Turn and
water the leaves several times a year.
Leaves may be piled in the fence
corner, and soil and brush used to
keep them from blowing away. Stir
the leaves every few weeks, watering
them thoroughly every time.
