Why You Need q Sllo.

4 why you Need Sil0.
In the first place. from 80 to 40 pei
cent Of the feeding value of the corr
plant that would otherwise be wasted II
saved when corn is harvested and fed Al
silage. Silsge is very succulent feed
and when made part of the ration the
effec. is similar to that of good grass In
the summer time. Every man who feeds
silage should, if possible, feed with ST.
lage some leguminous hay, such as clio.
yer, cowpea, soy bean or alfalfa hay. A
great many men have fed silage alone
because they did not have hay, but bet
ter results can be had when hay 10 fed in
connection with the silage.
Again, silage and some legume hay,
when fed together with corn, makes
much better quality of manure than that
coming from corn, corn fodder and tim
o,hy hay. Any kind of manure is bet
ter than none at all, but since none of US
have enough manure to cover every
field it behooves US TO improve the quail
ity, especially if it can be done by a bet
ter and more efficient and more profit.
able system of feeding. Then, too, We
have more manure. Silage feeders find
that since they save practically all of
the corn plant when it is made into 81
lage they have greater abundance of
feed. The silage is palatable and ami
mails really eat more than they do when
silage does does not form part of the
ration. OF course, this means more ma
nure.
Another item to be considered in con-
uection with the quality of manure is
that of concentrated feedstuffs rich in
protein. Such feeds as cottonseed meal,
linseed oil meal, bran, shorts, etc., are
often spoken of as concentrates. Nearly
every man who feeds silage feeds, in ad-
diton to legume hay, some one Of the
feeds just mentioned. This improves
the ration very greatly and also increases
the value of the manure.
Farmers are rapidly meeting condi-
tions confronting them. 1t is not hard
for a farmer TO see that when he has on
his farm twice as much manure as he
used to have, and that of better quail
ty, he needs a manure spreader. The
iudicious use of manure spreader never
was a detri iment to any farm. Seventy
five per cent of 800 silo owners In this
state use manure spreaders, returning to
the soil at least a part of what it pro-
duced.
Again, during seasons like those OF
1901, 1911 and 1918 silage is indeed time
ly and valuable. Dry weather always
cuts the grass short. Following these
years there is always a period in the
spring of the next year (it happens near
ly every spring. when feed 10 scarce and
high priced. The man who has plenty
of good silage does not worry about
prices or scarcity of feed. 1t has hap
pened more than once that man, gen.
eral farmer, has fed $3.50 or 5000 worth
of silage and little grain, bringing his
stock through the winter in good shape
while his neighbor fed 25 or 80 tons OF
clover hay instead, hay that was worth
from $40 TO SIS ton, and some grain
besides to accomplish the same results.
An acre of corn as silsge requires
much less room for storage than an acre
of corn harvested in any other way.
When the harvesting is done the work is
mainly over. The field is left clear for
fall sowing.

AS the soil is made in large part by
the slow decay of the underlying

! Many business men, that is mer
who claim to be business men, at
tempt to conduct a business with.
out the use of printers ink. They
say that it doesn't pay to advertise
They really don't believe what they
say. They know that advertising
does pay. That fact has been clear
Iy proven by men-bUsiness men
whose business has grown from a
little 2X4 nook on some side street
to enormous business. ard all of it
was brought on by judicious adver-
Using What has been done in the
past can be done this day and time
in a more satisfactory way and at
less expense, as the facilities are
much better.
Advertising is just as essential 10
business as food for an animal. Give
an animal the proper kind and
amount of food and he will soon
fatten. The same applies to your
business. If you will do the right
kind of advertising and enough of it
you will soon notice evidence of
your business building up. If you
let up on the advertising Of your
business, of course it will not con-
tinue to grow as fast.
OF course the people who have
been living in your town and COM
munity know you are here and that
you are in business. But they are
not like people were in old DAYS.
They haven't time to come to your
place of business and sit around
and wait for you to enumerate the
things you have in stock. The time
has come, that the trading public
leave home knowing what they are
going to buy, and generally they
have made up their list from news
paper advertisements. So if you
are in business, no matter what

seed corn to kernels of uniform size
and shape, thereby insuring an even
stand; also even termination and
growth. In the selection of corn for
seed, do not make the too common
mistake of sending elsewhere for
some new fancy kind of seed 1t
takes some time for corn to become
adapted to a change in climatic and
soil conditions. Select your seed
corn from a variety that has been
successfully grown in your locality
for a period Of years. AS corn ages
it loses vitality or terminating
power, therefore, do not use old
corn for seed if possible to procu e
later grown corn. Do not select
ears that have rot been properly
dried and stored before freezing
weather began. Every corn grower
should strive to obtain:
1. Early maturity to insure es-
cape from drought and freezing
weather, at the same time to be
sufficiently late in maturing to
utilize the entire period Of good
growing weather, as longer growth
is favorable to greater production.
2 Large yield. 3. Uniform color
4 Ears carrying size well to tip
5. Kernels holding full size well to
tip of ear. 6. Kernels holding size
well down to cob. 7. Butt and tip
well filled out. s. Kernels firm on
cob. g. Cobs small.
A few days spent in March, when
his time is otherwise of little value,
in testing the terminating power
Of every ear of corn, grading it to
uniform size and color, picking out
broken, rotten and diScolored kerr
lelS, would be worth much to the
farmer at harvest time. If one
starts the season with a lack of
in the seed planted or is
about to plant, that person is dis |
outraged before he starts. 1t is so
simple to test seed corn before |
that no prudent man
should neglect it.

Seed Corn"

The question which interest every
farmer at this season is How best
to increase his corn yield" The
careful selection of Seed Corn is the
first step. A poor stand of corn is
more responsible than anything
else for the low average of corn in
the Central West. Soil conditions,
preparation and cultivation may
have been of the best. but if
the stand is poor, the yield will be
cOrrespOndingly so. Corn growers
who are careful in the selection,
testing and grading of their seed
corn are the ones who make the
money If you have but sixty-six
per cent of stand on a one hun
dred acre farm. you have planted
and worked thirty-four acres an en-
tire season with absolutely no re-
turns.
How can good stand of corn be
reasonably assuredY First, by test
ing the vitality or terminating pow
er of every ear Of corn intended for
planting. Second. by grading the

A band of teachers, school pa

Signs of Spring.

When the catbrd calls from the

And the pussy. cat on the fence
replies,
And at 5 a N, from your filmy
pillow
You lift your head in a sad surprise
With morbid threat of brick to
fling,
Why that Is sort of sign of
Spring
When the winters ice from the
ground is thawine
And the roads are rivers Of mud
and muck,
And at 8 O'Clock, with hunger gnaw-
i0e.
You r d that the miIkman's cart
j. sucN.
And yoo drink as black as a raw

Your creamIeSs cup, it's sign of
Spring.
Wheg You feel that work is a weary
burden
And You cherish naught but a
nervous wish
To swap j, off for the golden euer-
uou
OF d light to 90 somewhere and
fish,
Where the catfish bite and the cat
birds sing,
Why, that is a certain sign of Spring.
