When and How To Fill Sii0.

BY F. r. Miller, Moscow Idaho.
The time to cut corn or any other
crop to be insiled is when you have
all the growth you are going to get.
There is nothing gained by waiting.
In plant life there is no standstill
as soon as growth stops the ripening
begins and every day you put off cut
ting you will have that more in
digestible matter to handle. would
rather cut to soon then too late. If
your corn is frosted, it should be cut
as soon as possible. When corn is
cut it should be put in silo immed-
ately; it should not lay in the field
day.
In order to have good silage, il
should be cut fine. This is import
ant; you will find by watching your
cows that they will eat what is fine
and if you give them about all they
want they will by that time have
breathed over the rest so much that
it is stale and you will have to throw
the rest out; and, again, if it is cut
fine it will pack closer, your silo
will hold more tons, there will be

A Pathetic Story.

Kendrick Gazette: Oldfield, the
jeweler, rubbed the dust off from his
new Ford on Wednesday morning and
started out for his mornings morn
ing" along the hills and dells of tie

makers dog, by the wayside and to, k
the little fellow in with him on the
seat. 1t is Billy's custom to jump
out and run along beside the machii e
when he is tired of riding, so Mr.. OIL
field tied him to the machine with a
short rope as an extra precaution
against these regularly practiced
death-defying antics of the dog.
Alta point, between the usual rem
dezous of the Ford and the middle of
the hill leading to the schoolhouse,
little Billy became weary of riding so
he leaped from the seat to the ground
for the purpose of accompanying the
expedition on foot. Imagine the little
fellows surprise when he felt the tug
of the restraining rope and saw the

Upon seeing the Ford tied to his tail
with the rope, his dog mind reverted

less ainin your silo which must be
cut out in order to have good silage.
In order to cut the material fine you
must keep your machine in a condi-
tion such as the inventor intended it
should be kept, the knives sharp and
running close to the cutting board or
shearng plate. Most machines are
made now so they will cut four cuts
to the inch which is not to fine. We
will take the best of material and by
being careless in handling when
putting into the silo. we will find
when feeding that we have very
poor feed; that, however, need not
happen if we use little judgement.
If we could compress the material
in the 81 so hard that we could get
all the air out, we'll and good; but
that would take an enormous pressure
and to get that pressure would cost
to much so that we must do the next
best thing in order to get the air out.
We know that in any space where
there is air we can make water take
the place of it. We do not have to
guess at the moisture in silaee. l
have veryssimple test to determine
it. take handful of the material
cut and if | can press hard enough
to make the juice drip from my hand
all is well but if not we must have
water enough until we can make the
juice drip from handful. Material
put into the silo in that condition
will come out good. 1t will not sour
but it will be sweet pickle,
pleasant to the taste and smell.
In six to eight weeks the process
of curing will be completed and ST.
lage will be cooled of and ready to
be used for feed and if once cooled it
will not heat again; it may dry out
or mould but rever heat again if the
process of curing is completed. DO
not be afraid to use plenty of water
it is hard to get to much. l have
feed about 1900 tons of silage and
have not had handful that had to
much water in it but have had a good
deal that did not have enough.
At one time was filling silo
and we did not have enough after
the last half day SO we pumped en-
the top Of the full silo q barrels of
water, hoping that it would soak
down. Well, it did part way but by
that we learned that was a good way
to seal up silo.
| There are about four inches of the
material spoiled on top when cur
ing was done. That is the least
have ever seen and that peeled of
very nicely and no mould at all b Glow
that.
AS rule when you just let the top
of your go as it is when it it full you
will find that from IL to 10 inches OF
more spoiled by the time it has cured,

two or three feet. By using plenty
of water this loss can be prevented.
We often hear the remark made
Don't use too much water in your
silage; it causes too much acidity "
Do not let that scare you out of using
plenty of water. may not know
what acid is, but if it is what we
get in silage that has plenty of water
then let us have the acid for that is
what the cows like.
In filling the silo with oats or
wheat we must be particularly care
full about the water as they are all
hollow stems and all full of air that
must be driven out by water.
Clover or alfalfa needs more water
than any of the materials named
above. Experience has taught me
that clover or alfalfa will get hotter
than any other material | have ever
ensiled, and if We do not use plenty
of water we will find the silage
burned which will be valuable for
fertalizing only.
l have beer called the water crank.
That is all right. If | can help
some poor farmer or dairyman to get
good silage for his cows to eat, then
| am willing that you should call me
anything you want to. because my
heart beats for the noble dairyman.

Horse Bites off Cows Tongue

accident occurred to fine dairy cow

in the Lenore section. The cow was
picking hay through a crack in a
stall where French draft stallion
was being kept. The stallion watch
ed and when the COW put her tongue
through the opening he seized it with
his teeth and bit it off, severing the
tongue as completely as if it had
been done with knife. 1t has re-
quired close attention to feed the COW
properly since and she is still very
thin because of being liable to con-
sumo sufficient food.

they incur by allowing defective eyes
to go urcorrected. DR.. E. A. Schil-

MARKET IS
 CONTINUING TO SHOW
 EXTRA HEAVY DEMANDS

NEW YORK. April 1S.-The re- markable feature of the copper mar ket is the demand for spot and April copper. This is surprising to the larger copper producers, several of whom have not a pound of copper this side of June available for sale, because of enormous purchases made in January and February. It was generally felt that the more import ant users had fully covered their requirements through May at least. As this demand does not originate with the New England brass mak- CTS, who are temporarily out of the market. on account of embargo re- strictions. 1t is taken to indicate that the consumption of copper In miscellaneous manufactures ali over the country is expanding at an un- rate. Activity in ship building is an important factor in copper consumption.

NE WYORK, April 1S.-"Not even of the immediate future" says Judge Gary in the New York Independent, "can we speak with any feeling of certainty. This war will end some time, of course, and 1t is my person al opinion that 1t will be ended soon- CT or later than most people think by the economic exhaustion of the belligerents, if in no other way. One thing seems fairly certain. When ever peace comes American business men must be prepared to face, tenn porarily at least. a falling off in our present enormous export trade. Moreover. the purchasing power of the whole world will have been greatly reduced and in all the mar kets of the world there will be the keencst kind of competition based on cheap labor and low costs"
