ADVANTAGES OF sILos.
Good SiIage Is the Best Meat and Milk
Producing R%oughage Known.

Good Silage Is the Best Meat and Milk
Producing Roughaee Known.
On account of the backward season
there will be n large amount Of soft
corn unless the present damp summe
is followed by an unusually warm fall.
Soft corn means a very serious loss to
the farmer who depends on corn for
his cash crop. To the dairy farmer
the loss Is not great provided lie has a
silo. Corn that is overtaken by frost
when in the milk stage will make a
fairly good quality of silage If it is put
into the silo at once.
This, according to w. E. Markey of
the College of Agriculture Of the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin, is the pressing
reason for a silo on every farm this
year. Several other silo reasons, how
ever, are enumerated by MI. Marley.
The silo furnishes succulent, palata-
BILE feed Of uniform quality that is al
ways near Mt hand. In addition to
high food value silage supplies succu-
lence, which makes it easily digestible
and keeps the systems Of the COWS
toned up. This tends to provide June
conditions in the dairy in January and
results in a full milk flow.
The silo preserves the corr crop with
the minimum amount Of loss, as the
entire plant is made fit for food. 1t
increases the number Of COWS that can
be kept on a given number of acres.
This has been estimated at double the
number possible without a silo.
1t economies space, time and build
ing costs in storage. The entire crop
can be stored in a short time at a
relatively low labor cost in about one-
third of the space required to store an
equal amount of food value in the
form of hay.
Silage makes the most economical,
convenient feed for supplementing
short pastures during a period Of
drought. A silo equalizes the supply
of feed by carrying it over in good
condition from n year to another.
Cases are on record where silage has
kept In perfect condition for several
years.
A silo can be used for ensiling clover
or alfalfa during a spell of wet wealth
er when it would be impossible to cure
it for hay.

Government Cuts Radium Cost.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-Secretary OF
the Interior Lane announced that the
production Of rndium from Colorado
%carnotitc ores by the bureau Of mines
Of the department OF the interior, III
connection With the National Radium
institute, has passed the experimental
stage in it's new process and Is on q
successful manufacturing basis. He
also declared that the statements made
to congress concerning the ability Of
the bureau of mines to produce radium
ut a greatly decreased cost over other
processes had actually been verified
and that the cost was even less than
predicted. Secretary Lane said:

said that trips will o be made to
seek locations on the Atlantic and guilt
coasts.
Colonel Reber says that San Diego,
San Francisco, Portland, Tacoma, Sc
attic and Spokane were visited and va
rious sites we'll looked over.
There is need Of more aviators for
army work. The machines can he
turned out whenever necessary. To
furnish pilots in event of war is the
difficulty.
The law under which the aviation
corps has been organized provides that
army aviators must be lieutenants, un-
married and less than thirty years Of
age, except that twelve noncommis-
stoned officers may take up this work.
But the number of l%ieutenants who
meet these requirements is limited.
Whether the army will take up the
matter of dirigible balloons is a ques-
ton. General Scriven from the state
ments which he made last fall before
the house committee OH military af-
fairs does not believe much in them; he
prefers the aeroplane. Other officers,
however, favor the Zeppelin type of
dirigible, while still others believe in
the nonrigid type. At present there is
no money available for d%irigibles for
the army.
The navy, however. has placed a con-
tract for a small diriglble Of the non
rigid type. This is approved by those
familiar with the situation, who think
it would be a mistake to attempt 20
build a large dirigible under present
conditions.

Ro1TlNG CLOVER IN FIELD .

1t is Il common practice for
farmers who grow clover for seed
to allow the clover to rot for sew
eral weeks after cutting before
barn. Sometimes red clover cut
early is allowed to lie in the
swaths or windrows for six or
eight weeks, exposed to all kinds
of climatic conditions. Glover
stacks that are poorly construct
ed or unprotected frequently be-
come wet and musty. Sometimes
in wet portions Of the stack the
;. clover will even become black .
and largely decompose before the
seed is hauled. The result of this
exposure is seen in the swelling
and sometimes termination Of
those seeds which are not pro-
tected by hard seed coats. Even
if the seeds do not terminate. If
once they have become thorough
, ly swollen, even though subse- .
quently dried. they are Of nc val
