The state legislature is to be asked

owners to keep the ground along the

county board and other boards in the

asking the legislature to pass such a

measure is to improve the sightliness

aid in destroying the weed pest. The
cutting Of brush and weeds along
the roadsides would also materially
aid in the drying up Of the roads in

of the problem 1t has been beyond the question

Another big advantage of slage is that, due to its
succulent nature it gives the stock appetite for dry

One of the greatest troubles with slage, rather
with the who feed the silage is that they have
false idea of its feeding value and do not feed it intel
ligenty. should that the putting of the
corn kafir the slo does change in any
the protein contents of the feed and increases
the bulk, the young stock eating sage the sole
ration without protein supplement cannot and do

blamed the silage. The is true of breeding
cattle that carrying their calves. Don't get the
idea, that people have, that siage is ideal

protein animal food that absolutely

The principal value of slage is that when feed is put

good quality silage can be fed to horses
to advantage. If in doubt as to the
condition of silage for horse feed, it had
better be left alone.
Remember how, in Bible times, people
were advised to store up feed during the
''Seven Good Years. so that they would
have feed for both man and beast dur
ing the "Seven Lean Years. that were
to follow? That advice is still good and
the best way to store up feed that would
otherwise go to waste in years of album
dance is by using the silo. People do
not have to look back very far to see
the time when cattle were being shipped
off of pasture in midsummer and sacri-
feed on a glutted market, simply be-
cause the grass burnt up by the
dry, hot winds and there was no feed to
carry the stock over until the fall rains
came to revive the grass, when enough
feed had been wasted the year before to
have carried the stock through in good

more silos are built, more people are
equipping themselves with machinery
for filling them. Men who have large
engines for threshing are glad to fur
nish power to run the ensilage cutter.
In many places, the farmers are
operating in buying machinery for fill
ing their silos, and in filling them, and
thus the problem is solved for them.
Then there are other faults found with
the silage that are usually the fault of
the man who fills the silo rather than
with the silo. Sometimes the feed that
is put into the silo is too dry and not
enough moisture is added and a
suit the silage molds. Then again some
times the men in the silo who are sup
posed to do the tramping, find that the
less they tramp, the sooner the silo is
filled and the sooner their job is over,
and as a result of the silage not being
packed to exclude the air, the silage
sours or molds and does not give good
results. Then again, sometimes feed
