BUILDING THE HOME

ious classes Of material. Shall the
floors and doors be of hard wood.
shall the walis be lath or wall
board. shall the facing DO of brick
or stone, what shall the beating,
lighting aud plumbing bs?-thsse
are some of the questions that
concern every home builder.
In deciding it 10 we'll to rsmem-
Der that the house will probaly be

Profit Increased by Silage.

Silsge during the last three
decades has come into general use
throughout the United States, es-
pecially III those regions where
the dairy industry has reached its
greatest development. Silage is
universally recognized as . good
and cheap feed for farm stock, aud
particularly 50 for cattle aud sheep,
are the observations made in Far
mers' Bulletin SIS.
Silage is the best aud cheapest
form in which succulsnt feed can
be- provided for winter uso, con-
tinues tho bulletin. An acre Of
grain can DO placed in the silo at
cost not exceeding that shrsking,
husking, grinding aud shsrdding.
Crops can Ds put in tho silo dur
ing weather that cannot DO used
in making hay or curing fodder,
which is an important cOnsidsra-
ton in some localities.
A given amount Of corn in the
form of silsgo will produce more
milk thxn,the same amount when
shocked and dried. There 10 less
waste in feeding silags than in
feeding fodder. Good silags pro-
perly fed is ell consumed, and in
addition worry palstabls. Like
other succulent feeds, it has q
beneficial effect upon the digestive
organs, and some stock can be
kept on q given area Of land when
it is the basis Of the ration.
On account of the smaller cost
for labor, silsge can be used for
experimenting pastures m o Q
economically than can soiling
crops, unless Oily q small amount
of supplementary feed is required.
Converting the corn crop into sill
age clears tho land sooner than if
the corn crop is shocked and
husked, and because Of these ad-
vantagss silsge, in the general
opinion of dairy farmers, has ill.,
creased milk production per cow
aud has increased the profits per
acre.-United States Weekly News
