SPOILED SnAGE IS
HARMFUL TO STOCK
Poisonous Feed Should Be Hauled
to Some Part of Field Out
of CattIe'S Reach.

By c. LARSON, South Dakota Expert
ment Station)
The molds and bacteria which cause
silage to decay produce at times poi
sonous by-products. The spoiled silage
should be hauled out to some place in
the field to which the cattle don't have
access. The spoiled silage results
from air entered near the surface,
which is natural, but not over a few
inches should be spoiled. Shortly
after filling the silo this top portion of
the silage becomes very hot, but ex-
treme heat is not common to silage a
foot or two below the surface.
The amount of spoiled silage may
be minimized by gcing into the silo
every day during the first week after
filling and tramping it down thor
oughly. The silage settles during the
first week. If there is no extra
weight on top the silage will become
loose and open, admitting air near the
surface. This year the corn fodder
was more green than usual. 1t was
immature and contained a large per
cent of water. If the farmer was not
careful TO tramp 1t down daily after
filling it may be seen why there ap-
pears to be more than the usual
amount Of spoiled silage this year.

THE NEWEST REMEDY FOR
BACKACIIE, RHEUMATISM AND DROPSY

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid trou-
bles bring misery TO many. When
the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently, and the poisons
are carried to all parts OF the body.
There follow depression, aches and
pains, heaviness, drowsiness. irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obsti-
nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones.
When the uric acid affects the muscles
and joints Il causes lumbago, rheuma-
tism gout or sciatica. This is the time

growth. which in turn grow from buds
developed the previous season. All
pruning must, therefore, be based on
this characteristic of the plant. After
determining the system of pruning
best suited to the conditions, species
and variety the vine should be so
handled, during it's early life, as to
develop a general framework OF the
type desired.
The pruning the first winter after
the planting of the vines is determined
by the character of the growth made
by the plants. II the growth has been
short and weak all the wood except
the strongest shoot should be removed
and this should be cut back to two
or three buds. II strong growth has
been made and there is one straight,
well-ripened shoot, all other growth
should be removed and this cane cut
back to the height at which ii is in
tended to head the vine. This will
of the plant into the cane which is
to become the trunk OF the vine.
From this only such shoots should be
allowed TO grow as are needed for
shaping the vine for the following
its first, fruiting season. After this
framework has been established, the
/ fruit-bearing part of the plant should
! be so pruned that it will be renewed
| from year TO year and so adjusted to
the variety and the food supply as
never to allow the plant to over
bear, but at the same time to induce
it to bear its full capacity. Under
such treatment the body of the plant
will gradually become stronger and
its fruiting capacity will increase cor
respondingly.
Not only do different countries have
different methods of pruning and
training, but methods often vary in
the several districts of the same coun-
try. Those interested in the methods
of pruning and training used in this
country will find them illustrated and

The reason why it Is usually recon-

subsoil at one operation results in
temporarily decreasing the producing
power of the land. This is especially
true IL the soil in question is UNDER

in the fall and the practice should be
to plow from one to one and half
inches deeper each year than was
practiced the preceding year until the
soil has been deepened sufficiently.
The presence of clods in the seed

or underneath the surface, is injuri.

From Weekly Letter. United States De-
partment of Agriculture)
Fall or winter pruning Of grape
vines in the home garden, as well as
on the commercial plantation, may be
done at any time during mild weather
while the vines are in dormant con-
dition. In general, the period from
November to March gives the most
satisfactory results, but the work
should in all cases be done at least a
week or ten days before the vines are
likely to start into growth.
In the colder sections OF the coun-
try, wherever varieties not hardy
enough to withstand severe winters
are grown, the vines must be artificial
ly protected. Under such circum-
stances the vines should be pruned as
soon as they become dormant The

German Press Divided
on Polish Liberation

Berlin. Nov. 6.-The newspapers dis
cuss the Polish proclamation broadly
but with some reservation. The Lib
eral. Catholic and Socialist organs ia
vor il. while the Conservatives are
more disposed to see objections. The
latter, affected by the Bismarckian ira
dition that Germany must have firm
friend in Russia, express doubt whether
the present solution will prove wise in
the long run.
The "Tageblatt" also halls the res
toration Of the Polish kingdom with
the proviso that Germany succeed IN
preventing Russia from permanently
indulging in dreams of vengeance. The
difficulties Of the Polish problem, how
ever, are apparent in all the editorial
minds.
The papers generally assume that the
kingdom necessarily will lean upon
Germany and Austria Hungary, not
only for protection against Russia, but
because its cultural sympathies have
westward and not an eastward trend.
Some OF the papers express the expec-
tation that Germany's military power
will be strengthened through a close al
lance with Poland and also expect that
Polish troops will be forthwith organ
lied and assist in establishing Polish
freedom
The Liberal, Socialist and Catholic
papers take special pleasure in pointing
out that Poland receives her indepen-
dence from the Central Powers, where
as the Entente Allies claim monopoly
in protecting the liberties of small
states. One paper. in this connection,
asserts that all true friends of liberty
in London and Paris should hang out
flags.
