DAIRY
FACTS
RULES FOR FILLING A SILo
Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station
Offers Some Excellent Sugges-
tions on the Work.

To farmers who are filling silos this
year for che first time, the Iowa agri-
cultural experiment station offers
these suggestions:
The corn should be cut when the
kernels are dented, OF when about a
fourth of the husks and lower leaves
are turning brown. 1t should be as
near maturity as possible and yet con-
tain enough moisture to insure fer
mentation.
Either a half-inch of three-quarter-
inch cut is best because that length
insures less waste and larger pack
of corn in the silo.
Slow filling makes it possible to
pack the corn more thoroughly and
get in larger tonnage. With rapid
filling the cost is less, but to fill to
capacity the silage should be allowed
to settle and then refill.
Corn should be uniformly packed in
the silo and with good distribution Of
stalks and ears. If the sides are kept
about two feet higher than the CEN
ter, the silage wedges against the
sides, keeps in the heat of fermenta-
,tion and kills molds.
Water needs to be added when fill
ing if the corn in the silo is not moist.
Water must always be added when the
corn Is very ripe, when the corn is
severely frozen before it is properly
matured, or when filing late in the
fall with shocked corn.
Keep the sides of the silo air-tight
by filling cracks with soft clay. if the
silo is wooden, or with cement If of
masonry.

rinse in cold water, drain the liquid
from the oysters and strain it, adding
1t to TIE oysters. Make a rich white
sauce Of three tablespoonfuls each of
-four and butter cooked together when
the butter is bubbling hot, then add
one and half cupfuls Of rich milk, a
half teaspoonful of salt and a few
dashes of celery salt and red pepper.
Cook pint of oysters in boiling wa
ter and the liquor until plump and the
edges curl, pour into the white sauce
and serve hot with buttered toast.
Fish Hash.-Take equal parts Of cold
faxed fish and cold boiled potatoes,
chopped fine. Season with salt and
pepper. Put butter in saucepan, and
when melted add the fish and pota-
toes, stir until well warmed, then let
brown underneath. Turn as an ONE
let.
Apple and Banana Salad.-Scoop
out two apple balls from peeled ap-
pies, using French vegetable cutter,
and prepare banana balls in the same
way, cover both with q generous
sprinkling of lemon juice to keep
them from discoloring, and serve on
lettuce leaves with French dressing.
Asparagus SaIad.-Place a cupful of
canned asparagus tips on lettuce
leaves. Cover with thin slices of red
and green peppers and serve with
well chilled French dressing.
Macaroons.-Beat the whites of four
eggs until stiff, add cupful Of sugar,
one cupful Of cocoanut and one of nut

SERIOUS DISEASE OF CALF
White Scours Usually Appear Within
TWO or Three Days After and
Are Often Fatal.

White scours, or calf cholera, come
on SO soon after birth that often the
calves are dead before they are con
sidered to be seriously sick.
This disease usually appears within
two or three days after the calf is
dropped. Seldom do any cases devel-
op after the calf is two or three
months old.
The symptoms are usually failure to
eat, the calf lying down much of the
time. the eyes grow dull. and a pecu-
liar pasty white excretion is notice
able. The calf often dies within "a
hours Only immediate attention will
save it.
The disease is usually contracted by
infection through the navel cord Pre-
vention is better than cure.

Try Gentleman. Just roll this morsel
around your tongue for bit, then
ponder a while, and see if you don't
think that it is better to get YOU
organization together and ship your
hogs and grain and get all there is

of hogs, shipped by seven OF thu
farmers from this tract. 1920 lbs.
brot the top price, $500; 1880 lbs.
brot $50; and the balance $500.
The writer was offered $3.50 for 200
lb. hogs that brot $500, and after
deducting all expenses it left us net

lbs. to ship. This was SO cents per

local buyers. You will note that your
stock hogs going from here into
Kansas are selling there for So per
