Many stations are at least partially
ruined between seasons This is due
to improper feeding and care. Some
men starye their stations after the
breeding seaso on the theory that
they cannot afford to feed literally
when there is no income. This is GER
tainly a mistake. 1t does not wen re-
suit in a saving OF feed. as it will cost
more to put the horse back into the
proper condition when the breeding

a horse in good flesh all the time
than to allow him to run down during
a part of the year and then by heavy

GO SLOW ON TARIFF
Matter Too Important for Hasty
Judgment.
Conditions When the European War
10 Ended May Demand a Rcadiust-
ment af Schedules or II May
Be Unnecessary.

Like all other instructors In the pro.
tectionist school. our neighbor the Sun
believes that there is only one way to
revise the tariff. which is upward. and
only n acceptable time. which Is
now. No matter il all industrial Eu-
rope is at var and is doomed to re-
main so. perhaps. for two years more.
there will be peace eventually. and
then our manufacturers. merchants
and workers will be at the mercy OF
the most skillful and desperate CON-
petition the world has ever known"
Probably no well-informed person
will deny that after the close Of the
wal there will arise economic condi-
tions in Europe that may demand i'm
portant changes in our tariff. Good
reasons may appear for increasing
some Of the schedules, but it iE quite
as likely that common sense will die
tate decreases in others. With due re-
spect to the protectionist school. it
must be said hat the American tariff
is going to be adjusted to ven IS
we'll as protection for many q day.
Existing customs duties have failed
as revenue-producers because the var
has reduced imports. The war. there.
Tore, has given most of our manufac-
turers and merchants the advantage
that they would hope for under a pro-
hibitive tariff. To increase rates upon
a traffic that does not exist would be
useless. and experimentation In other
directions. except for the one object
Of revenue. would only invite jobbery
and disaster.
1t Is not in the mind OF any disinter-
ested man to say precisely what kind
Of tariff we shall need when Europe
relinquishes the sword. Blu the very
worst of all tariffs in that emergency
would be one under which a few fa'
vored interests could perpetuate in
time Of peace the distractions from
which we have suffered in time OF
war.-New York World.

MANNER OF SEALING A SllO
Where silase Is to Stand for Some
Time Before Feeding Covering
Of Some Kind Is Made.

(By ]. G.. WATSON. Missouri College Of
Agriculturcb
There is always some loss CT the
top of the silage unless feeding is be
gun as soon as the silo is filled. Where
the silage is to stand for some time be
fore feeding it is customary to run in
three or four loads Of cornstalks from
which the ears have been removed.
This material is packed thoroughly:
then a liberal supply Of water is
added, which will hep to seal the silo.
and only a very small amount of
waste will result. Some farmers use
oat straw as a covering; others soak
the top of the silage with water and
SOW oats. which, when they germi-
nate. form a dense mass, which shuts
out the air and keeps the silage from

Infection Of Milk Comes From Body

Prepared by Dairy Division Of Clemson
College,
The Babcock test raj first an
nounced to the world in 1890.
The greatest source of infection in
milk comes from the body Of the ant
NAL and the air of the stable.
Anything that will make it easier to
clean the stable will aid in the pro-
duction Of pure milk.
The concrete floor is by long odds
the most sanitary for a dairy barn and
should be used wherever possible.
In building a dairy barn, remember
that one is providing a place where
human food is to be produced.
Early breeding stunts growth.
Heifers should be bred to drop their
calves when about two years old OF
older.
AS a rule. IL is desirable to have
cows go dry at least a month before
calving. This has a beneficial effect
on the calf.
Dehorning is a good practice. II
