fed silage produced 36.sI per cen. more milk and 34s82 per cent more butterfat than when on dry feeds.
 There is less waste in feeding silage than in feeding fodder. Good silage, If properly fed, is all consumed.
 More stock can be kept on a given area of land when silage is the basis of the ration.
 There is a smaller loss of food ma terial when crop is made into silage than when cured as fodder. The Colo rado experiment station shows that corn when shocked in large shocks, lost 3i per cent of its feeding value i: when in small shocks, it lost 43 per cent, and when allowed to remain in the field unharvested, D per cent. When the crop is put in a silo the loss need not exceed per cent. II has been shown that G0 per cent of the feeding value of kafir is found in the heads and 10 per cent in the stalk. Put your kafir in a silo and save this 70 per cent.
 Remember that, although silage is a splendid feed. 1t is not complete ra- tion. To get the best results, We must also feed some feeds which contain a large amount of protein, such as alfal- ia hay, peanut hay or cOtten-seed meal.

LIME OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Application Means More Humus and Heavier Yield of Money Crop
 and Profit to Farmer.

Lime is as essential to the upbuild- ing of American farms as Is the use of good seed and teams. Too many of our fields are yielding light crops simply because there is not enough lime 70 permit the growing of soil- building crops.
 More lime means better green ma- nure crops. more humus, better stor- age of moisture, heavier yield of the money crop, and more profit for the farmer.

Urepared by the United States Depart

 The profit to be received from grow ing sweet potatoes will be determined largely by the degree of care with which the crop is harvested and stored. Any bruiSing of the roots, either in the field or in the Storehouse. or the mainten- ance of improper temperatures in the latter, will facilitate rot and so will greatly increase the percentage Of loss.
 Sweet potatoes should not be dug until they are mature. Then care should be taken in blowing them out tO avoid all bruiSing by contact be tween the implements used and the roots. The soil should then be scratched away from the potatoes and they should be left exposed for sev- eral hours To dry. Picking should be in padded boxes. baskets. or crates The roots should be carefully placed not thrown into the picking recep tacles. Although sweet potatoes do not have the appearance of being eas- fly injured, they require, in fact, as careful handling as oranges and ap- ples.
 Handling should be minlmized to as great an extent as possible. This makes desirable q rough sorting iii the field by placing the largest potatoes in one picking cOHtainer, the smallest in another. and the bruised roots in third. In no case should sacks be used either as temporary containers or for marketing purposes. Diseased potatoes should be placed in none of the assortments. Such roots should not be left permanently in the field however, to contaIninate the soil, but should be gathered and fed to pigs.
 Storage Facilities.
 Proper storage facilities are valu- able To the grower in that they do away with the necessity of ceiling the crop on digging. greatly lessen the heavy losses sustained when the primi- tive storage method of burying the po- tatoes is employed, and permit hold ing for good prices in winter or spring. A special storage house, such as many southern farmers have built. is advo- cated by the department specialists. Such structure with & capacity of 1000 to 2.JO0 bushels can be built at cost of from SlO0 10 $500, depend ing on the availability of lumber and other material. The storage house should have double walls to insulate against heat and cold and false floor to facilitate ventilation. A stove should be installed for supplying arti- ficial heat. IT bins are used. they should have slated sides, further to facilitate q circulation of air.
 Sweet potatoes may be satisfactorily stored in bins, but where economically
