MANY ADVANTAGES OF
THE SUM MER SlLO

(By C. A. Hutton, Division OF Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee;
small silo for summer feeding is
one of the best means of keeping up
the milk flow Of the dairy herd. Few
dairymen have sufficient pasture for
their herds during the hot, dry months
of midsummer, and, as a result, the
milk flow usually decreases.
More cows can be fed from the same
acreage by the use OF the silo than by
pasturing. There is no waste from
tramping down OF the food, and the
cows are not exposed to the hot sun
and flies. An excellent plan is to have
q silo small in diameter so that some
silage can be BED every day during the
summer, If 1t should be needed. Many
dairymen now have two silos--a large
one for winter and a small one for
summer.
The dairy with plenty of good silage
is very largely Independent of weather
conditions. There is seldom season
when he can not grow fair crop OF
Slldk6 GULL duu bhOAS oAS AN'' SoNAA
mers when he could not make more
money from his herd II the dry, short
pastures were supplemented with a
ration of corn silage.
From twenty to thirty pounds OF
silage would be fair daily ration for
a COW il she has some pasture. About
two and one-half to three inches
should be fed off of the surface OF the
silo daily during the hot weather, in
order to keep the silage sweet and
| free from mold. Allowing an average
ration of twenty-five pounds per day
| for the six summer months, herd OF
twenty cows would require forty-fye
tons Of silage, and a silo 10x3O feet
will be required. From four to si1
feet should be added to the silo tc
allow for settling of the silage. Fol
a herd OF thirty cows, 81 tons would
be needed, and silo 12xSO would BIZ
required.

BUYlhG THE BEEF BULL
4 QUESTION OF TYPE

(By R. III. Murphy, Division of Exten-
sion, University OF Tennessee.)
The buying of a beef bull is not
nearly so much a question of breed
as of type. Whether an animal has a
good top line and a good underline,
with plenty of width and depth and .
good quarter is of much more import
ance than whether he is Shorthorn,
a Hereford or an Angus. 1t is very i'm
portant in any case that he be of pure
breeding and comes of a line of good
producers. A bull of scrub parentage
might be a first-class Individual in
every respect, but we should hardly
expect him to transmit his excellent
qualities, because he did not inherit
them honestly. His offspring will al
most invariably give him away. We
can never judge an animal except by
his offspring, but our best guarantee
lies in a good pedigree. A good pedi-
gree is one in which the immediate
ancestors are animals of importance.
Farther back than six generations the
influence is practically nothing.
As we become better acquainted
with the different breeds we find that
neither of them has any particular ad-
vantages over the other, A great
many people change from one breed
to another because of a desire to
have something different, and more
frequently than otherwise, to have
changed was mistake, especially IL
the change meant the introduction OF
q breed entirely new to community
which had up to the time favored a
single breed. A man introducing and
trying to popularize new breed is
at a serious disadvantage because he
generally has but a few animals to
work with and he finds no ready sale
for the surplus stock he may wish to
dispose of. 1t is much better business
to select the breed the community ia
vors.
Select an animal of good proper
tons, low down, blocky, straight top
and underline, with plenty of depth
and width; good width OF chest
strength in heart girth, low down in
flank, and we'll developed quarters
with Just as little head and neck and
| legs as possible.

AMMOTH FARMING
IN TEXAS

Editor News:
II Won will allow me q small space
In your valuable paper. / will write q
few lines from this part OF Texas. l
live twelve miles southwest or Fort
Worth. on a ranch that contains 1000
acres. owned and controlled by Que
man, and out of that 1000 acres, 1900
acres are sowed in small grain. luis
wear there are 800 head Of steers being
fed on the ranch.
Feeding beef cattle here 10 quite
different from the way the etockmeh
feed cattle in Tennessee. Feedirg DE-
ings about the fifteenth OF November;
We feed cotton seed cake ana start
the winter with four lbs. TO each
steer; this amount is gradually IN
creased until we reach or lO IDS 70
the. steer By the 18th of June the cat
tie are ready for the market, ana oy
the middle of July we are through
shipping. Part of them are shipped
to our own Fort Worth market and
the rest are shipped to Kansas CITY ana
Chicago.
For the small grain, we have two
large traction engines that we use Tor
breaking the land after we are thru
harvesting and threshing. The hrst
of June we will have nine S-foot
binders in operation. 1t will take
eighteen days to get all the grain cut;
We use four mules to each binder, ana
the mules all average 1900 or 1900 lbs;
We have enough mules to operate all
the machines used on the farm
Small grain looks fine and there IS
good season in the ground now.
We have our own threshing mach
inc, too, and it is started as soon as
all of the grain is cut. We get thru
threshing the latter part of July. then,
breaking begins and the hay harvest
Is on hand.
In 1914 we put up $1,000 bales OF
hay, so you see there is some WORK TO
90 on at ranch like this. The farm
and ranch together are operated with
nine men. Each gets straight time
and part of them get 1885, 90 per month.
The others get $500 per month anc
90 per cent of the profits on the num-
Der of steers they feed. Each man II
also allowed two or thee milk COWS
and all the chickens and turkeys ne
can raise.

THE BEST TIME TO PRUNE
(By C. A. Keffer, Division OF Exten-
.tor TIn;vorsitv NJ TennpSsee

(By C. A. Keffer, Division Of Exten-
sion, University Of Tennessee.l
Before trees come into bearing they
are best pruned as the buds swell In
the spring.
Peaches my be pruned at any time
while dormant, and in large orchards
the work had best be begun In Decem-
Der. in order to be sure Of finishing It.
Never neglect peach pruning.
Apples in bearing are best pruned
in late April or early May. about the
time the first leaves are full grown.
This will permit the formation during
the season OF fruit buds for the fol-
lowing year.
The plum is pruned very much like
the peach. but less severely. and the
cherry requires the least pruning OF
all fruits. Plum and cherry are best
pruned az the buds svell In early
spring.
Grapes should be pruned az soon az
possible after the leaves fall, and late
pruning 10 undesirable because the
vines bleed badly after the sap starts
Contrary to general opinion, vines
very seldom II ever bleed to death.

Believed to Have Commit
ted Suicide.

Winchester, April sS.-Finis Curl. a
bachelor farmer three mill from here,
was found dead in his house yester'
day, having been shot to death.
The coroner's jury was OF the opin-
ion that he either committed suicide
or accidentally shot himself, although
there are some pointers inconsistent
with this theory,
Curl was feeble in both mind and
body, and some think he committed
suicide. He had some money which
he kept at home. but this was all
found there after the tragedy.
His relatives express the opinion
that the instrument with which ne
was SHOT was a gun barrel, the stock
having been broken off The stock
was found in an adjoining room, He
was shot in the forehead. He was
clad in his night clothes. Mr.. Curl
had considerable property.

ATTACK PRESIDENT
Berlin Newspaper Criticises Speech
InhNew York Last Week.

Berlin, Nov. S.-The Morgen Post
attacks President Wilson sharply Tor
his remarks in his speech in New
York ON Thursday concerning per-
sons in the United States who arc
partisans ofsetiler causes than@that OF
America and have forgotten that their
chief allegiance is to, the American
government. The Post says that the
election Of Tuesday drought heavy
moral defeat" for the President, and
that his speech was in retaliation Tor
"this German-American punishment
and was obviously directed against
German-Americans.
The form of the Presidents speech,
the newspaper asserts, was such as
had never been before heard from ali
American President, and such as
would never have been considered
possible from the head Of the country.
The Morgan Post asserts that, in
view of "the pronounced hatred Of
Germany prevailing in America" the
speech can lead to Hthe worst cnnse-
luences." 1t declares President Vii
son expressed "his aversion for and
low estimate Of Gcrman-Americans"
shortly after the outbreak of the war
in different utterances, and that the
President "is certainly untitled to play
a leading role in the discussions Of
the peace question"
