Russia Demands Cash.

New regulations affecting purchase
by American importers of commodities
in Russia have been announced pro-
viding that payment must be made in
advance.
Before the goods can be released
from the Russian empire, the Ameri-
can purchasers must furnish the Rus
sian commercial attache with guar
anty that the value of the shipment
has been deposited, in American dol
lars, in the National City bank to the
credit of the minister of finance of
Russia, who will pay the amount in
Russian currency to the Russian eX-
porter before the commodities are sent
forward.
The new regulations are for imme-
date enforcement and are applicable
also to shipments for which payment
was not made prior to May II last.

TO DETERMINE AGE OF CALF
Expert of Colorado Agricultural COL
Ieee Tells of Method by Look
ing at Incisors.

You may want to buy calves at auc-
ton, and you may want to know about
how old they are. Here's the way G. e.
Marion Of the Colorado Agricultural
college has it figured out:
"The calf when born has two pairs
of inSisors, the other two pairs appear
during the first month. When calf is
eighteen months old, it loses the mid
die pair of milk incisors, and grows a
permanent pair. The next pair, one
on each side, Is replaced at twenty
seven months of age. the third pair at
thirty-six months, the fourth or out
side pair at forty-fve months. The
time of appearance of these incisors
varies within rather narrow limits, so
that we are able to tell the age OF
young cattle fairly accurately.
"The calf also has temporary set
of molars, which are later replaced
with permanent ones, but they are
not considered in estimating the age
of the animal"

PROFIT IN WINDFALLS
Money Made by Turning Apples
Into Sweet Cider.
Large Amount Sold to Tourists
Ground in Orchard Kept Clean and
No Waste-Fruit Hand-Picked
and Graded Into Sizes.

One of the most common sights in
the country during the summer
months, Is the large quantity of wind
fall apples lying under the trees on
many prosperous looking farms. Hav-
ing purchased a place with a large
orchard, was determined to eliminate
this waste, If possible, says a writer
in an exchange. When the first apples
began to fall, the trees We're gently
shaken, the apples washed, and run
through small mill.
Two signs, tackled at either boun-
dairy line Of the place facing the road,
advertised in large letters, good cider.
1t was amazing the number of gallons
we sold to passing tourists who
stopped to get a glass, and generally
wound up by taking gallon with
them.
In this manner the ground was
kept clean of apples and there was
no waste. About two weeks later we
began to hand-pick, grading the fruit
into two sizes. All fruit available
was removed. Owing to the enormous
crop, the price of apples was very
low. The neighbOrs were selling fruit
for % cents bushel, and glad to get
it, while our apples brought IS cents
at the grocery store.
Many more bushels were sold in
the same manner as the cider, the
signs this time announcing both the
sale of cooking and eating apples.
AS the orchard was an old one
when purchased, some Of the trees
were very large and the apples diff
cult to reach. These were the last
to be disposed Of, being shaken off
and converted into cider which was
sold at the fancy price of so cents a
gallon. An advertisement placed in
the daily paper, suggesting the use of
the cider for Halloween parties,
brought splendid results, and hand
| some profit was realized.
The above method ought to prove
profitable to anyone living on a main
road. Every apple ought to make q
! showing on the cash eXchequer.

RYE GOOD FOR FALL PASTURE
May Be Seeded in October and Is Not
Attacked by Hessan Fly-Vetch
Adds Nitrogen.

(By c. B. HUTCHINSON, Missouri Agri-
cultural Experiment Station)
After six weeks of severe drought
and intense heat, bluegrass and other
pastures are so dry that they will fur
nish no pasturage until late in the
fall, even with the aid of the usual
late summer and early fall rains. The
man who has much live stock on hand
will find it necessary to provide tenn
porary fall and winter pasture. For
this purpose there is no better crop
than rye.
Rye may be seeded any time during
September or October, and is not at
tackled by the Hessian fly, so it will
not endanger fall wheat. 1t may be
sown just as early as the seedbed can
be put into proper condition on stub
BILE land or after corn has been cut for
silage or fodder.
A bushel and a half is enough for
early sowing, but two bushels should
be used later, or a mixture Of 80 or
40 pounds of rye and Is or 20 pounds
Of vetch will give good results if
sown late in August or early in Sep
TENDER.
Small fields of such cover crops fur
nish a great deal of pasture at little
expense and leave the soil in better
condition than if they had not been
grown. The vetch is legume which
adds nitrogen and the fine roots OF
rye protect the soil against washing,
which is more serious between grow
ing seasons than most people realize.
Next spring the rye may be turned I'M
der as q grain manuring crop before
complaining time.

ALFALFA GOOD FORAGE CROP
Especially Adapted for Sand-Hills
Country, Because II Prevents
Danger of Soil Blowing.

Alfalfa can be grown in most Sec
lions Of the sand-hills country Nebras-
ka, according to work done at the Val.
entine substation, and 1t Is recommend
ed that where possible it should be
made to take the place of intertilled
forage crops, because it would do away
with the danger of soil blowing. 1t Is
also Of more value than any other for
age crop that can be grown.
Experiments have shown that for
that section of country alfalfa exceeds
all clovers, including sweet clover, in
its adaptabllity to the conditions
found there, and that 1t is more valu-
able than any Of them and costs less
to seed

found corn ensilage to be worth from
$3.50 to $3.50 per ton when fed to
fattening steers and sheep. This is
in the light of the fact that corn en-
silage will not cost the farmer more
than 50 a ton and should be convincing
argument.
Pennsylvania station found good re-
suits in feeding steers silage and real
lied a value of $500 ton when used
in this way. They also found silage
superior to hay and much more eco
nomic in the raising of young stock.
Ontario experiment station found
they could save $63 on every 5000 in
vested in feed if they used corn ensi-
lage in preference to hay in feeding
cattle.
Kansas experiment station not only
produced beef cheaper with ensilage
in the ration but also the silage-fed
steers sold at a higher price on the
market than did the dry-fodder steers.
They found corn ensilage when put in
the silo would keep for five and six
years and retain its feeding value.
Michigan experiment station has
been using silos since 1881, and has
found in several experiments ensilage
to be the most economic form of feed
ing the corn plant to live stock.
SiIage, when fed in conjunction with
alfalfa, produced mutton more cheaply
than when hay was used.
Many other stations have tested out
the economic use of the Silo, and one
and all have Endorsed it as a practical,
economic equipment for the stock
farmer.
Thousands Of farmers and stockmen
all over the country have been demon
strating for the last quarter of cen
fury the economic use of the silo, and
all who now have such equipment are
strong in it's praise.

BILLIONS WASTED ON FARMS

Many of us fail to appreciate our
real blessings, because we regard them
as just common everyday things. If
some mysterious power were to sud
denly change winter into summer, 1t
would be recorded as q miracle. In
reality, this is what the silo does
changes winter into summer. The silo
makes June grass out of the waste
products Of the farm. Silage is the
winter pasture for the farm animals.
The silo is the cows kraut barrel. No
man can get the best out of the bust
ness of farming without silo.
1t combines more good things and
brings greater profits than any other
building on the farm; it provides a
cheap and convenient place to store
all of the crop; helps utilize cheap
roughage, makes it possible to keep
more stock on the farm, which means
more manure for the land. The silo
lnsures succulent feed in the winter
and in dry spells when pastures fail /;
provides a balanced ration when fed
with alfalfa, clover, bran, cOttOnSeed
meal and other protein or muscle-build-
Ing feeds. The silo takes care of the
crops and clears the land for early fall
blowing, prevents waste in feeding,
keeps stock in good condition, makes
cheap beef and milk.
Waste With Corn Crop.
The greatest waste in any one indus
try in America occurs with the corn
crop. The grain of the corn crop OF
the United States every year is worth
on the farms about 81, 100000, 900; &C
per cent of the feed value in matured
corn is contained in the kernels, and
40 per cent in the stalk and leaves

SELF-FEEDER FOR DRY MASH
ton Was Made Especially foT
Preventing Waste.

After trying for a long time to find
an inexpensive self-feeder that would
prevent waste, 1 hit upon the device
shown in the accompanying cut, writes
c. A. Burton in Farm and Home. In
the center of a platform about two feet
square, made of matched boards, 1
placed an earthenware crock. The
grain mixture was covered with an or
binary follower made of chicken wire,
which helps in a measure to prevent
the hens from billing out the food. In
spite of this they will pick out lot
of it, which is wasted with many feed
ers.
The platform Is raised about two feet
from the floor, which is enough to pre-
vent scratching litter on to it. The

quarters of billion dollars, the feed
value of the rest of the crop is nearly
a billion dollars. At least 80 per cent
of the feed value of the stalk is lost
under the present system of farm man
agement-a waste with this crop alone
of billion dollars annually. No
other business but farming could stand
such an enormous loss.
Contrast this waste by the corn
growers with the practices of large
business organizations. For years the
great packing houses have sold dressed
meat for less than they have paid for
the live weight of the animals. Yet
every year these packing houses re-
turn millions of dollars profit be-
cause they utilize to the fullest extent
the value of their by-products. At the
same time the corn growers are vast
ing most of 40 per cent of the feed
value of over one hundred million
acres Of corn.
Great Value Of sio.
The results Of hundreds Of feeding
experiments conducted in the past ten
years with silage as a part of the
ration gives proof of the great value
Of the silo to the farmer. There will
always be more or less of the corn
crop shocked in the field, but corn left
exposed to the weather loses the great
er part of It's feeding value. Why
waste the crop after you have grown
1t, when you can put it in silo and
preserve 1t with all Its succulence2
Have silo--no matter what kind
but have one.
You may say that you cannot afford
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1916-10-06

silo-but you can't afford to be with
out one.
1t is not necessary to construct an
expensive one to start with-a cheaper
kind will do. There is no best silo,
generally speaking. The best silo for
you is the one which can be con-
structed on your farm at the lowest
cost and pay you the greatest profit.
A pit silo or bank silo may be the
best for you. They are adapted to
many sections. Regions which are
passing through the pioneer stage of
their development, where the cost of
material labor and transportation is
high, need not be without a Silo. Kan
sas, Nebraska and Colorado farmers
have constructed more than three
thousand pit silos in the past two
years. In Montana, the Dakotas and
other northern states, where the win
tiers are severe, the pit silo is in gen.
eral use. They cannot blow down nor
freeze up, and they are cheaply con-
structed.
Prove Value of Sile.
A good proof of the value of the silo
Is a record of some work done in a
cow-testing association at Albert Lea,
| Mimi, under the direction of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture.
In this association II herds, or PIG
cows were fed silage and 16 herds, or
239 cows were not fed silage. 1t seems
to me that when a man will examine
these data carefully he cannot but feel
that he is the loser If he does not have
q silo.
The results show that it cost $500
more per COW to feed the silage herd
than it did to feed the herd which had
no silage, but the silage-fed cows pro.
duced so pounds more butterfat pei

Fodder or Silage.
At the Nebraska experiment station
two groups of calves nine months old
were fed from March IS to August Is.
In one lot each animal received an
average daily ration of: Corn, rs

The animals in the other lot received
an average daily ration of: Corn, 81
pounds; alfalfa, "a pounds, and corn
silage, IS pounds.
The larger amount of corn was fed
to the slower lot to Offset the grain
| contained in the silage. The two rations.
| therefore, were practically identical,
except that to one lot of animals the

as silage.
The silage-fed calves made an aver
age daily gain of 1.S pounds each.
