An interesting Letter
From a Reader

We have received the following
communication from a good farmer
reader who is so modest that he
doesn't want to see his name in print.
We will, however, vouch for him as a
successful dairyman and we have a
very wholesome respect for his knowl-
edge of the dairy business. He has
used a silo for over ten years and thus
speaks from experience.
People who have never fed en-
silage often make the remark, "why
is ensilage any cheaper as a coarse
food than hay?" In the first place
about ten tons will grow on the same
land that is required to grow two tons
of hay and there is practically no
waste i'm handling. As it is put up in
the green state there is no loss from
blowing away and no amount of rain
will damage it in the least. After it
is once in the silo there is but very lit
tie waste as almost everything is con-
sumcd except the string with which
the bundles were bound.
There is difference of opinion as
to the thickness with which the corn
should re planted. We have always
considered that the better method was
to plant it i'm rows three feet eight
inches one way and dropping one kerr
mel every eight inches the other. In
this way you will have a good crop
of corn that will yield so or 60 bushels
per acre providing it is properly titled
and the land is kept in good condition.
Now by putting this corn in the silo
it saves husking, Smelling and grind
ing and being kept in a soft state it
is just as digestible as though it was
ground and you not only have the
corn but the stalk, husk and leavings
which the stock will consume with al
most as much relish as they do the
corn and which has as much or more

How to Kill and Feed
Poultry For Market

Grasp the chicken, when killing,
by the bony part Of the skull Do not
let the fingers touch the neck. Make
a small cut with a small, sharp
pointed knife on the right side of
the roof of the chickens mouth,
just where the bones Of the skull
end Brain for dry picking by
thrusting the knife through the
groove which runs along the middle
line of the roof of the mouth until
it touches the skull midway between
the eyes. Use a knife which is not
more than two inches long, one-fourth
inch wide, with a thin, fat handle, a
sharp point, and straight cutting
edge"
The above instructions on the
proper methods of killing poultry were
issued by the Department of Agri-
culture. At least 30 per cent of all
the poultry coming into the market
is incompletely bled. Much Of it is
so badly bled that it results in a loss
of from 2 to cents a pound, as com
pared with the corresponding poultry
which is well bied and n good order.
Aside from the bad appearance Of in
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-04-18

completely bled chickens, their keep
ing properties are very inferior The
flesh loses it's frmness sooner; it's
flavor is not so good; the odor of
stale flesh and finally Of putrefaction
comes sooner; and in every way the
product is more perishable.
A very large proportion Of the un-
slightly poultry in our markets aside
from the rubbing and tearing Of the
skins, is caused by an incomplete re
moval Of the blood. This is evidenced
by red dots which frequently occur
where the feathers have been re-
moved, especially over the thighs and
wings, or by the small veins, which
mar the appearance of the neck. Gen
orally it is the neck which shows most
plainly the presence of blood in the
fowl, or that a wrong method has
been used in cutting the blood vessels
in an attempt to empty them. The
neck is the first part to discol2r he
coming first red, then blush red or
purple and finally green as aging pro
crosses.
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-04-18

feeding value. Looking at it in this
way your coarse food is not costing
you scarcely anything as it is very
little more work to put the corn in
the silo than it is to husk, shell and
grind it.
One argument against cnsilage has
always been that it costs so much to
build silo. Our silo holds two hun
dred tons and was built at a cost of
$4,000. Can you think of any other
way of providing storage room for
two hundred tons of coarse food for
less money than this? Others will say
that it costs so much for machinery.
The way to eliminate this is for three
or four farmers to go in together and
buy a binder and cutter and exchange
work in filling the silo. In most COM
munities you will be able TO hire an
engine for operating the cutter at a
reasonable price. We will not en-
deavor to say which is the better kind
OF cutter, one with a flat elevator or
a blower, but in case you should use
the former be sure to keep a man in
the slo when filling to see that the
corn and fodder does not pile UP,
thereby permitting the corn to roll TO
the outside and form a layer of al
most solid corn and a much thicker
layer with very few ears and when
you come to remove the ensilage your
cattle will have too much corn for two
or three days and the next week or
more will get scarcely any.
Some people advocate keeping a
man in the silo to lamp and tread the
silage but we have never thought this
necessary as the weight of man is
very little compared to the weight of
the ensilage itself in a silo % or 30
feet deep and the time when it settles
is after il begins to sweat and be-
comes soft. You will experience no

Danger of Hog Cholera.

Hog cholera is the most dreaded
disease of swine. II may appear at
any time in any neighborhood in the
state. 1t is spread by sparrows, pig
cons, flies, dogs or by any object that
may carry material from one hog lot
to another. Stock cars crossing on
railway bridges may cOntamlnate
streams; stock buyers may carry chol-
era from one farm to another, and
there is always danger of infection
being introduced into the herd when
stock is purchased. A bulletin Civ
ing latest information on the control
of this disease has just been issued
and is being distributed free by the
Michigan Experiment Station.

ground it fine and then tried 10 get
it back in the same sack? If you
have we think you found il a very
difficult feat Why would not ensi-
lage act the same way? The finer it
is cut the more space it will occupy.
We have tried cutting it in one-half
and twO-inch pieces and must say that
we much prefer the latter as it is
much easier to handle and is eaten
just as well by the stock and requires
much less power for cutting. BY cut
ting it into pieces two inches i'm length
there is no danger of the cattle biting
on the stalk when it is endways in
their mouths and thus causing them to,
have sore mouths as would be H,R
case if cut in pieces one inch in
length"
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-04-18

trouble in getting it TO keep providing
the air cannot get to it and the corn
is not too ripe when put in. We con
slider the proper time is when the corn
is about one-third ripe. If put in too
green the only loss met with is in
the feeding value, while if put in too
ripe there is danger of its spoiing.
There is quite a difference If Opin-
ion as to the proper length The en-
silage should be cut. We remember
of attending a farmers institute
some time ago and the gentlemen who
spoke on the silO advocated cutting it
in lengths Of one and one-halt inches.
We asked him what the object was in
cutting it so fine. He rep. ed, $50
as TO be able to get more in the silO."
Now is this the case? Have you ever

VI. \. {. EXTENSION SCHOOLS.
Farmers are anxious to make a
thorough study Of the things that af-
feet the success Of their husiness.'
This conclusion is based on the fact
that over $500 farmers and their
wives have attended the thirty-one
Extension Schools" which have been
held by the Michigan Agricultural
College during the past winter. Two
instructors were sent from the Col
lege to each of these schools to hold
both morning and afternoon sessions
for five DAYS. Lectures were given
on farm crops, soil fertility, livestock,
dairying and horticulture, two sub
jects being discussed in each school.
In three places special classes were
offered for women in which instruc-
tion was given in cooking, food val
ues, and other subjects of value to,
the home-maker. These schools will
be offered again next year, from De-
cember to March 1st, and can be Sc
cured for any community if thirty
men will enroll and pay fee Of fifty
cents each to pay local expenses.

NJ. A. c. Students From City and
Farm.

Records at the Michigan Agricul-
tural College show that of the 584
students who have registered as
freshmen in the agricultural division
during the past three years, 293
were reared in the city and 276 on
the farm. 1t is interesting to note
that in the same class 81 per cent in
dictate that their present home is in
the city. That nearly all of these
students from the city, as we'll as
those from the farm, either become
farmers or engage in allied occupa-
tons is shown by the fact that for
the past four years 40 per cent of
the graduates in agriculture and hor-
ticulture have gone directly to the
farm, As per cent have engaged in ag-
ricultural teaching and experimental
tom and 6 per cent in work closely
related to agriculture.
1t is clear that the Agricultural
college is not educating young men
away from the farm but is influence
ing both city and farm boys toward
country life.

Note the following important
changes in the prices of fruit trees

9 TO l0c lower.
Standard cherries, y In. diameter. g
stand nd peaches, 1l-16 in. diane

standard pears, q in. diameter, PC
lower.
The cause Of the drop in the price
of apple stock is not hard to find. For
the past few years the heavy plant
ings of this popular fruit in the Pa
cihc Coast and the Northwest have
caused a scarcity of trees which ran
prices up above normal figure. Now
that the far western land boom has
collapsed trees for orchard planting
are becoming plentiful, and apple
trees are now down TO reasonable
price again. So now Michigan has q
chance again to plant out her or
ehards at the lowest rates found IT,

MANY NEW PENSIONERS
NEARLY ONE THOUSAND WE'RE
ADDED TO LIST IN GEORGIA
DURING LAST YEAR.
THIRTEEN HUNDRED ARE DEAD

Commissioner Lindsey Gives Some
Interesting Statistics, Number of
Fraudulent Pensioners Are ON the
Roll He Says.
ATLANTA, Cain the report of
Pension Commissioner John W..
Lindsey, which will go to the gov
ernor in few days., it will appear
that 1886 new names have been ap-
proved and added to the roll of con-
federate pensioners for the year
1914. Adding these to the number
who were paid last year. 1886, it
will bring the total roster up to
20,272.
This does not mean, however, that
there will be that many to draw PEN
sions this year. There were 81, 1S6
on the roll at the beginning of 1913,
while only 1886 were paid. 1t was
found that $50 had died during the
year, nearly per cent of the whole.
The average sum paid to each pen
sioner was $685..
AS the death rate among the old
veterans is rapidly increasing as they
grow older, it is estimated that at
least 1928 of those who were on the
roll last year will be found to have
passed over, and that there will be
only 1S,949 to be paid this year.
How Roll Increased.
While it may appear somewhat
remarkable that as many as 1876 of
those who are entitled to pensions
should have waited this long to ap-
ply for them a number of causes
may be assigned to account for at
least a good proportion Of this in
crease. There are some who have
just qualified by residence in the
state, and there are others, doubt
less, whose financial condition was
such that they never felt it necessary
to apply for a pension before this
year.
That there are number of fraud
ulent pensioners on the roll, how
ever, the pension commissioner him
self does not deny. Although he has
uut the matter up to the legislature
at every session almost since he has
been commissioner that body has
never seen fit to give him the power
to make searching inquiry into the
claims of doubtful pensioners and to
purge the list OF frauds.

NEW YORK TO PARIS AIR LINE
A So, 100000 Company Is Formed by
German Inventor. SiXty-HOur
Passage Is Expected.

PARIS.-Paris to New York in 60
hours-thls will be possible within
year, according to A. Berner, Ger
man inventor, who today organized
100000 corporation to build a
fleet of six passenger-carrying dirigi-
bles to ply between Paris, London
and New York.
The inventor said the specifica-
tions for his dirigibles had beeen
passed upon by leading French and
German aviation experts and all
have agreed that his design presents
the greatest possibilities for long
ocean voyages. The air cruisers, ac-
cording to the plans, will be 500
feet over all, 80 feet in beam and
about ITO feet high.
Each dirigible will accommodate
| 300 passengers and the luxuries pro-
vided will vie with the equipment of
the Imperator.
Berner explained that it will be
impossible for all the motors of the
machine to fail to work, nor will
there be any danger from explosion
of the gas bag, such as wrecked the
Zeppelin LIZ and killed tweney men
near Berlin recently. The new dirig-
ibles will be fitted with semi-rigid
cars running the entire length.
