taking the siIage to the stock The
cart can be left beneath the silo
chute and filed from above without
reshoveling the silage. Loose siIage
weighs about 1875 pounds per cubic
foot, and this should be given con-
sideration when building a cart for
a definite capacity.
More often than otherwise the silo
stands either in or adjacent to the
feed yard, in which case there is very
seldom a smooth way from silo to
hunks. An overhead feed carrier is
then generally advisable. This de-
ponds upon the number of stock to be
fed. Such carrier may easily be ar
ranged. If the yards are small a
swing track may be attached to the
silo and the silage distributed to sew
eral feed hunks.
When several carloads of stock are
being fed silage, the most convenient
scheme is to throw the feed into a
wagon and distribute it to the feed
hunks with team.
Some sort of hosting device should
be used in pit and semipit silos.
Where the pit is more than ten feet
deep, hand hoists and power hoists
are being used for this purpose The
simplest hoist is that of the bucket
raised hand over hand, but this re-
quires one person in the pit and an
other above ground. A better scheme
and one which is practical where the
silo is located in the barn between the
managers, is to obtain several baskets
and equip them with stiff balls, then
use them as follows: Fill The baskets
and place them in the silo convenient
for raising, climb out Of the silo, and
by means of hook on a rope, hook
a basket of silage to it and hoist it
out. After the basket is emptied,
drop it back into the silo, release the
hook, and hook another basket.
A homemade hosting device for
semipit silos and which can be adapted
to pit silos as well, consists of a three
inch pipe carrying a wooden wheel and
two drums. An old milk can filled
with scrap iron is used as a counter
weight. 1t should be slightly lighter
than the weight of the cart and the
silage.
A horsepower hosting device is
easily used for silos entirely below
ground. These silos have an opening

Frequent Use of Harrow and Disk
Previous 70 Planting Time Is Rec
commended by Expert.

by o. N. OLSON. Minnesota Experiment
Staton.)
The preparation CT land for the com
ing corn crop should receive special
attention. There is an absolute Ger
tainty that a large amount Of weak
seed is going to be used this year,
and every possible assistance should
be given to promote its termination,
principally in the preparation of the
seed bed
If corn is TO be expected to grow
readily, it must have a small amount
OF air, some moisture and sufficient
warmth. The proper combination OF
these conditions is best obtained in a
wellworked, mellow seed bed. Such
preparation of the seed bed not only
conserVes soil-moisture and destroys
weeds. but it also warns the soil to
an appreciate extent. a frequent use
Of the harrow and the disk, previous
to planting time, not only prepares
the seed bed in the various ways men
toned, but every one of the opera
tons may justly be called a cultiva-
ton Of the growing crop, even though
the seed is still implanted.
In the case Of spring blowing, the
repeated use Of the harrow may put
the surface in excellent condition,
and still leave the bottom of the fur
row slice in poorly prepared con-
dition. 1t is much better to continue
the working of spring blowing with
the harrow and the disk, as this ad-
ditional work has a tendency to com
pact the furrow slice and improves
the conditions of growth. By all
means, properly prepare the seed bed
for this years corn crop.
