Value of Silage

There is no roughage which Is or
more importance to the producer OF
beef cattle than silage. The value or
silage to the beef producer varies con-
glerably and Is dependent upon
large number Of other factors. II
rough folders are scarce or are high
priced, if the grain is high priced, or
IL the grain is so near good market
40. much of it can be readily Sold
silage will have a greater value than
IL the opposite conditions exist 1t IS
a great saver Of grain regardless OF
whether it is to be fed to stock cattle
or fattening cattle. It will lessen the
grain feeding by practically tn same
amount as is contained in the silage.
The value will also depend somewhat
upon the kind of cattle to which 1t IS
to be fed If there is IN abundance or
rough fodder which cannot be mark
eted, silage will not be so valuable

HEAVY AND LIGHT POTATO SEEDING

planting. The difference in vigor Of
plants, for the first week or two, was
decidedly in favor of the whole tubers.
The plants from the one-eye pieces
were at first much more slender than
those from the two-eye pieces. half
or whole tubers. These more delicate
plants required greater care in the
first cultivation, but the difference
was not so apparent later on as the
plants gained in size and vigor. and
by the height of the growing season
the individual stalks from the one
eye pieces were as large and strong
as the stalks from the larger pieces.
AS the rate of seeding per acre was
increased. depending on the size of
seed pieces used. in like proportion
was the average number Of plants or
stalks per hill increased. Increasing
the size Of potato seed pieces. there
fore, Is equivalent to increasing the
number of grains per hill in seeding
corn; and from extended observation In
the past as we'll as from experiments
conducted, the results in either case
may reasonably be expected to prove
similar BY increasing the number OF
stalks per hill Cup to a certain UNITY
the total yield may be somewhat en-
larged, but this gain in yield is often
at the expense of the size, development
and quality of the product.

PR0L0NGING THE LIFE OF FENCE POSTS

| is given, and since the cost of treat
ment increases rapidly with the size of
the post, there Is much advantage in
using comparatively small ones; a
well-treated line post need not exceed
inches in diamater.
The form Of the post may influence
| the efficiency of the treatment. A split
post necessarily has heartwood ex-
posed to the air. With some woods
this Is immaterial; with others the
heartwood cannot be impregnated. and
untreated heartwood will prove INFER
ior in dur: bility to properly treated
sapwood. Therefore, only round
posts of the latter class should be
used.
The tops of the posts should be cut
obliquely to shed rain water. A bevel
made with an ak is preferable to one
made with saw, because 1t Is
smoother. Bark retards or prevents
the penetration of the preservat1ve
into the wood.
It also uselessly increases the cost
of treatment by itself absorbing OIL.
Feeling the posts before treatment Is
therefore, necessary. Even the papery
inner bark should be carefully re-
moved, especially in the case of pine
or Eastwood.
Thorough seasoning should always
precede impregnation. Even air-dry
wood is unfit for treatment after a
heavy rain, and when thus saturated
should be permitted to dry for at least
three days of good seasoning weather.
The average period required to
season posts is five weeks. but this
period varies widely, according to the
kind Of wood. the season of the year,
and climatic conditions.

EFFECT OF SULFUR ON PLANT GROWTH

Improved methods OF analysis nave
shown that the sulphur content u
cereals is nearly as high as heir con-
+ent Of phosphorus. Work OF cnem-
lists also indicated that three times as
much sulphur may be lost IN or"'n0ee
waters as is brought to the son IN
rain. Analysis Of cropped SOILS anu
aa;a,an+ virgin soils showed that the
cronned soils contained about ~ per
cent less sulphur. These data there
fore raise the question as 20 whether
The natural soil supply of sulphur IS

duction. u,,,ahur

justify the heavy application of COM
mercial fertilizers, and where a proper
crop rotation is pursued, there should
not be serious difficulty in maintaining
the fertility Of the land.
There is a prejudice against the use
of millet for hay because of the UNI

on millet hay for several weeks. Some
of the horses seemed to be immune.
but others exhibited peculiar SYM
toms, noticeably an increased action
of the kidneys. lameness and swelling
of various joints. AS this trouble dis
appeared when the feeding of millet
was discontinued. and no injurious. re-
suits seemed to follow feeding the
hay to other classes of live stock. there
is no reason why its use should be dis
carded in these sections to which 1t
is peculiarly adapted, as it is quite
evident that when fed in moderate
quantities to horses and not made the
sole roughage, the objections to IT'S
use largely disappear.

Progress in Marketing

There are thousands OF sKlliIul
farmers who are poor statesmen anu
allow legitimate profits to slip away
from them. This in some cases rep"
resents the difference between faliuie
and success. With the development IN
our large cities of a steady cash oe-
mand at high prices for all kinds OF
nroduce, and a general improvement
in transportation facilities, there IS
no GOOD reason why the farmer
should not realize greater returns on
the commodities which he has to as
pose Of.
It may be possible to secure pr1vate
customers who will pay full retal.
prices for farm products generally. II
is feasible also to cooperate IN snip
ping and selling these wares. A mum
Der of farmers may combine for the
purpose of dividing the expense a.
both ends of the route. They Will md
it a comparatively easy task to ob'
tain city customers who are wiling &c
pay literally for high-grade produce
received fresh from first hands II
then becomes the business OF the pro
ducers to raise the standard OF theil
foods to the highest point anc exac
sufficient price to insure a fair prom
on the labor, time, investment ano
skill involved.

A CONVENIENT MEETING PLACE.

The schoolhouse has always been
one of the first essentials
in every community, but the people
are just waking up to the fact that
they have never gotten full value from
the investment. The schoolhouse has
been held sacred to the uses ( teacher
and children. Five days out of the
week, perhaps forty weeks of the year,
it has been used. and otherwise, except
for an occasional exhibition" 1t
might perhaps stand as useless as the
harvester in December. The people
went to their respective churches on
Sunday, but an all-neighborhood
gathering might be almost unknown.
But this building, which is the prop
erty of all the people, Is coming into
new usefulness as the social center OF
the community, where all matters OF
general interest may be discussed and
where public improvements may be
planned and pushed through to realiz-
alton. In many communities, there Ia
no other place where all may meet on
common ground, regardless Of creed
or politics, for enjoyment or for busi-
ness. except the little red schoolhouse.
May its usefulness ever increase.
