I SlLAGE FOR YEARLING MULES
III Results Were Noticed-Test at Other Stations.

Ten yearling mules, weighing ap- proximately $50 pounds each, were fed by the Missouri experiment station. for 90 days on an average daily ration of 6.5 pounds of ear corn, S6 pounds of mixed hay. and 4 pounds of corn silage. The mules made a gain of only 4.S pounds, during the period No i'll results were seen from the use of the silage but the mules did not consume large quantities of it. This 1t is thought may have been due to the fact that the silage was made from rather immature corn
 Successful experiments in feeding si. lage to horses and mules, conducted by the North Carolina and Pennsvl. vania stations have been reported to the department of agriculture. It is advised that corn silage should always be fed in combination with other feeds and that under no circumstances should spoiled silage, either moldy or rotten, be fed to horses and mules.

 To make butter profitable on the farm we must first have good cows Constitutional vigor in dairy COW is something we cannot pour into an an imal with bottle; it has to be bred and fed into her.
 First, breed from nothing but strict ly healthy animals. After we have healthy cows we should know their capacity. The value of the dairy COW depends upon her capacity to produce butter and milk at a profit. So the first thing we ought to do is to use the scales and the Babcock test and find out whether old Brindle is paying or not. It is not enough to know that COW gives a pailful of milk when she is fresh; we must know what she produces in year. If we were dairy ing for fun it might be all right not to know these things, but for business we must use business methods.

INJURY BY CORNsTALK BOXER l
One of Reasons Why Corn Stubbie Should Not Be Permitted to Stand
 in Field Undisturbed.

(By A. r. CONRADI. Clemson Agricul-
 tural College)
 The cornstalk borer Is one of the reasons why corn stubble should not be allowed to stand in the field all winter undisturbed This insect is one of the most notorious corn pests of the South. Without cutting the stalks the evidence of its work may be seen in every cornfield at the time of her vesting by the holes that may occur ou any portion of the stalk. These holes vary largely in number.
 The point to be remembered in the life history stages and habits of this insect is its habit of remaining as a larva in the base of corn stubble be- therefore, is a chance for those farm CTS who are friends of this species to do it a great favor by allowing the corn stubble to stand undisturbed in their fields during fall and winter De- stroying corn stubble is not very easy, except on modern farms where there is sufficient horse power and the stub. bles can be turned under thoroughly
 Turning under corn stubble is of great help in reducing the cornstalk borer for the next season. Where thor ough turning cannot be practiced, there are other methods, such as busting out the stubble and hauling it to the compost heap for rotting After the corn is gathered the stalks, stubbe ane everything else may be bursted out raked in heaps and after a few weeks for drying, burned.
 In experimental work very large percentage of larvae was destroyed during winter where the stubble Wa plowed out and left exposed to th weather. It can readily be seen tha when these methods are practiced b farmers only here and there it doe not help the situation very much. Tn control of the cornstalk borer depend on the cooperative action of the farm CTS of community.

 Cooperation with your neighbors will also greatly help in breeding up better dairy cattle. By cooperating we can buy the best sires and change our breeding without so much ex- pense. l think every dairyman, it matters not how small his business, should make an effort to breed reg istered stock, as it does not cost any more to raise them, and when he has surplus there is so much more profit in what he sells.

They seem to stick to the idea that the haphaZard COW is really better and more profitable for them than a COW born of an improved sire and dam.

The great possibilities of ow-priced Arkansas lands for grain production have been effectively proved by re- suits at the railroad demonstration farm at Hope with both wheat and cats during the past year. The wheat yields averaged 29 bushels per acre and oats 64 bushels per acre. A test field put in for comparison of Fulgrum cats and winter turf oats showed a yield of 77 bushels per acre of the Fulgrum oats and 91 bushels per acre of the winter turf oats. Other fields of winter turf oats yielded, respective ly, S6 bushels per acre, 70 bushels per acre, 64 bushels per acre. The lowest yield was 51 bushels per acre. The demonstration farm was started st this place three years ago on piece of land that had been in cotton over 90 years and which was practically worn out
