In addition to these cardinal points
the following hints and suggestions
will be found useful: The most beau
tiful effect with flowers, especially
perennials with long blooming stem,
often may be obtained by using them
in borders in front OF shrubbery. Ar
range the flower garden to provide
succession of bloom from May to Sep
TENDER. BY using bulbs it is possible
to have flowers in the yard from the
middle of February, before snow goes,
till October or November. when the
freezes cut off the late chrysanthe-
NUNS. Arrange the planting of shrub
berry with the taller growing plants at
the back. Grow ANIMALS TO furnish cut
flowers for the house out in the vege-
table garden, where they can be culti-
waited easily. and where heavy cutting
won't spoil the effect in the yard. See
that the premises are neat-that the
fences are in repair and that garbage
and the refuse doesn't accumulate in
the back yard any more than in the
front yard. Places that cannot be
made neat may be concealed g. quick
growing annual vines. Undesirable
views may be closed by paintings OF
slrubbery. Use some shrubs for the
winter effect of bright bark or red ber-
ries Use scale in planting, l. e..
don't nse large coarse plants which
should be seen from a distance in a
small yard, and don't confine the
planting in large yard to small close
growing plants. Don't plant closer than
two or three feet from the house wall
Make a plan TO scale on paper and
work to IT. Make the plan and
then do little every year. Keep
the planting simple-don't try to
grow everything on the list at once.
In getting shrubbery get few kinds
and a good deal OF kind the results
will be better. Make the plan with
reference 10 how il will look from in
side the kitchen and living room, as
well as how II will look from the road.
In making the plan. the most impor-
tant feature 10 be considered is the
dwelling. and all paintings should be
subordinate TO IT, A simple style OF
home architecture is to be preferred,
with wide porches and floor not too
high above the ground. A few speci-
men trees or shrubs OF individual
beauty may be planted on the open
lawn. For street or highway planting
set only one kind OF tree In a row par.
allel 20 the roadway.

duced the cost of gains 81 per hun
dred pounds and increased the total
profits $1119 per steer. These steers
were choice two-year-old feeders
weighing little less than a thousand
pounds at the beginning of the expert
ment. In addition to the above facts
in favor of corn silage the following
statements are made: The more
nearly corn silage replaced clover hay
in the ration the cheaper was the
gain and the greater the profit" and
corn silage produced a very rapid
finish on the cattle"
Corn silage is an efficient roughage
for fattening lambs and sheep. 1t is
a good roughage for breeding ewes
IL fed intelligently. That is silage
that is rotten, sour or moldy should
not be fed. Many farmers in Indiana
are feeding corn silage to horses with
excellent results during the winter
season. Moldy silage or spoiled should
not be fed to horses. Silage should
be fec with great caution to brood
mares.
Summing up some of the most i'm
portant reasons for having a silo on
the live stock farm we have the fol-
lowing:
l. The silo preserves the palatabil-
ity and succulence of the green corn
plant for winter feeding.
2. 1t helps to make use of the en-
tire corn plant.
3. The silo helps to increase the
live stock capacity Of the farm.
4. Silage is good summer feed
when pastures are short
5. Because Of the small amount OF
ground space required by the silo 1t
is an economical storage of forage.
g. The silo prevents waste of corn
stalks, leaves and husks, which con-
tain about two-fifths of the feeding
value of the corn plant
z. The silo located near the feed
manger is an assurance of having feed
near at hand in stormy as we'll as fair
weather.
s. The silc assists In reducing the
cost of gains in fattening cattle.
9. Silage greatly increases the milk
flow during the winter season and de-
creases the cost Of production.

"Hard Lucky Story.

A Washington clubman is firmly
convinced that the fates are against
him, especially with reference to his
golf playing
It's no use" he said to a friend,
Il can't lift the hoodoo.' Nine times
out of ten miss the ball when driving
off from the first tee at the Country
club. And every one of those nine
times look around and find the veran-
da lined with people, all staring at me
with eyes the size of porcelain plaques
on plate rail. The tenth time, how
ever, l hit the ball; l knock it to a
speck. Then l turn proudly around,
my chest swelling with pride. And
there's not a single soul on the We
randa. Everybody has just gone in"
The Jasper weekly courier. [volume] (Jasper, Ind.) 1858-1922, 1914-06-12

In the first place the silo Is the
most efficient means by which we can
: prevent the enormous waste of corn
stalks, leaves and husks, which con-
tain at least two-fifths of the feeding
value OF the corn plant Farm land
In Indiana is entirely too high in price
to permit this waste to go on year
after year. OF course we can cut our
: corn fodder, but the cattle eat but
little more than half of 1t. The re
mainder Is wasted SO far as feed is
concerned. IL by means of the silo,
we can save all OF this waste and at
the same time preserve the palatabil-
ity and succulence of the green corn
plant for winter feeding we have gone
long way toward getting the great
est amount OF feed possible out of the
corn crop.
When we make an excellent feed
out OF what is often wasted we can in
: crease the live stock capacity of the
farm and at the same time not in
crease the acreage of corn.
Another splendid advantage of the
silo Is the fact that il we are going
to have silage at all. the corn must
be cut up and put into the silo where
It will be convenient for feeding in
stormy as well as fair weather. When
we cut corn for fodder it is shocked
in the field and when dry stacked in
the yard or shredded and placed in
the NOW. Often we leave the shocked
corn remain out in the field so long
that 1t has lost a very large part OF
its feeding value. because Of the ac-
ton of the weather This is not the
case when silage Is made. AS the
corn must be cut and put into the
sflo Immediately where It's feeding
value will not depreciate
The silo also assists in reducing the
cost OF gains In fattening cattle and
sheep. In bulletin 1913 OF the Purdue
Experiment station we find that the
addition OF corn silage once daily to
a ration of shelled corn, cotton-seed
meal. and clover hay reduced the cost
Of gains s1.S3 per hundred pounds and
Increased the total profit sS.S5 per
steer" The addition of corn silage
