sILo is QUITE ECONOMICAL
Preserves PaIatablllty and Succulenes
Of Green Corn Plant for Winter
Cattle Feeding.

The Indiana experiment station
gives the following practical reasons
why farmers who keep live stock
should build silo. Here they are:
The silo preserves the palatability
and succulence of the green corn
plant.
The silo increases the live stock ca.
pacity of the farm.
Silage is a good summer feed when
pastures are short.
Because of the small amount of
ground space required by the silo 1t
is an economical means of storing
forage.
The silo located near the feed man
ger is an assurance of having feed
near at hand in stormy as well as
fair weather.
The silo assists in reducing the cost
of grains in fattening cattle and sheep.
Silage greatly increases the milk
flow during the winter season and
decreases the cost of production.
There are no stalks to bother in
the manure when corn is put into silo.
All should understand that silage
is not a complete or balanced ration.
1t is a succulent food and should be
supplemented with some balancing
dry feed.

CORRECT SETTING OF TREES
Nurseryman Gets Big End Of Blame
for Losses-Great Care Must Be
Exercised by Buyer.

One has but to become a fruit tree
agent in order to realize what very
small percentage OF the trees set out
every spring survive, even through the
first season. The nurserymen get the
big end Of the blame for these losses,
when 1t is more often the fault Of the
party who sets out the tree.
Great care must be exercised In
handling trees that are to be planted.
or set out. The packing should not be
removed from around them till one Is
ready to set them out or heel them in,
as 1t takes but very short time for
exposure to sun and wind to ruin the
roots. II for any reason the trees have
been unpacked or the packing seems
inefficient, the trees may be carefully
removed and heeled In. This is accom-.
plished by placing the trees on a
slightly sloping spot, shallow trench
being dug for the roots. Place the
trees in thin layers, covering them
well above the roots with moist earth.
A thin cloth or layer OF straw over the
branches for the first day will furnish
protection from sudden exposure tc
the sun after the trees have been cor
fined In the shade so long.

GOOD GROUNDS FOR POULTRY
Low, Heavy Soils Make Industry Pre-.
earlous-Mueh Of Success Depends
on Warm, Dry, Sandy Loan.

There are people who will tell you
that any kind of ground will make
good poultry ground. 1t will not.
Chickens can live on tolerably barren
ground, but poultry success Is not met
on ground too poor to bear vegetation.
Low. heavy soils make poultry rails
ing precarious. The loss by disease
Of many kinds in certain focks can be
traced directly to the low ground upon
which they feed and run. Such soil
is damp and cold the greater part Of
the year.
The success Of many a poultryman
is not always so much due to his feed
and care as the warm. dry sandy loan
the fowls live on.
In buying ground upon which to
raise poultry look well to the ground
you buy. II it is not ideal poultry
ground in soil, drainage and location,
you can scarcely make it that except
at G cost that eats up the profits fast

Soy beans require good preparation

may either be sown broadcast at the
rate of bushel per acre or planted
in rows and cultivated. The latter
plan gives best results. In purchasing
seed, buy only bright, plump seed, tho
