Copper prices continue to harden on
insistent demand for all deliveries, ac-
cording to advices from New York, One
seller announces that he has sold spot
metal at 361A cents a pound, but is in
clined to reticence about further details.
This. II consummated, would make a new
record and the highest price at which
the metal has sold since 1872, when lake
copper changed hands at a cents a pound.
The major portion of the business being

gregate OF business booked last week was
less than in the previous week, due to

ADVANTAGES OF THE sILO.
Value at Time When Green Pasture Is
Net Available.

Value at Time When Green Pasture Is
Net Available.
The digestive organs Of animals that
chew the cud are so formed as to re-
quire comparatively juicy and bulky
food. The COW cannot, therefore, thrive
on exclusively dry food so we'll as can
the horse The nearest to an ideal food
that can be obta14ed for the dairy cow
for more than six months in the year
green pasture is not available. The
best substitutes to use during this pc
riod are corn silage and such roots as
mangels and turnips. Corn yields an
average of twice as much dry matter
per acre as do root crops, and since the
latter require much more labor, which
in this country is relatively expensive,
Silage is far more economical.
BY the use Of the silo the corn is re-
moved from the field at a time when
no injury is done the land by cutting it
up while soft. AS the corn is cut be-
fore the blades are dry enough to shat
ter, there is no waste from Weathering
and both stock and grain being in good
condition the whole crop IS consumed
by the stock, While with dry shock corn
large percentage of the leaves and
butts Of the stalk is wasted
1t has been determined that one Gu
bic foot of hay in the NOW contains
about 4.3 pounds of dry matter and
that cubic foot of silage in a thirty
six foot silo contains about 80 pounds
of dry matter From this it is evident
that cubic foot of space in a silo of
proper depth will hold more than twice
rs much dry matter as the correspond
ing space in a mow 1t is also true that
on the average larger amount Of di-
gestible feed can be obtained from an
acre in the form of silage than i'll any
corn into Slage is then both an eco
nomical and compact method of stor-
ing feed
Much damage has been done to the
cause of silage by the eXtravagant
claims Of its overenthusiastic friends.
Although corn silage is not complete
and balanced ration in itself, it is so
we'll relished that large quantities are
consumed. Being Il succulent feed, it
tends to heavy milk production and
should be given an important place in
the ration of dairy cows. 1t has proved
an important factor in steer feeding as
well as in milk production but steer
cannot be finished OH silagc alone, any
more than a COW can produce her best
yields of milk on such Il ration. To OBJ
tain the most economical returns some
dry roughage should be fed in connec-
ton with silage, and legume hay, as
alfalfa, clover or cowpeas, is the best
for this purpose, particularly for young
| stock and cows.

stalls should be SO constructed that
the cows will lie with their heads in
the managers; otherwise they will be
compelled to step backward before ly-
ing down, in which case they have no
chance to keep clean. A large gutter
and adjustable stalls that line all the
cows up to the gutter are important
factors in keeping the cows and floor
clean.
An abundance of bedding in the COW
stalls makes for clean milk, clean, con-
tented cows, clean floors and the say
ing Of the liquid manure. If bedding
or other absorbents are placed in the
empty gutter the liquid manure will be
absorbed and held at the bottom. TO
some extent that practice prevents the
cows from soiling themselves.
The manure should be removed dailv
and the manger kept clean. Cobwebs
should be swept down and bespattered
walls washed.
Manure should not be placed against
the barn or where the COWS will be
compelled to wade through it in going
to and from the barn.
Even when the cows live out of doors
in summer and are in the barn only at
milking time failure to clean the floor
and gutter regularly will result in foul
odors.- Wisconsin Dairy and Food
Commissioner.
