different dates and with the addition
of different amounts of water agree
closely with the opinions of the farm
ers who had used such silage, and may
be summarized by saying that the feed
was satisfactory and more palatable
than the shock corn; such silage is not
equal to that made by putting in the
corn at the proper stage in the fall;
such reflling prevents the loss in feed
ing value. which occurs when the fod-
der is left in the shock; silage is more
convenient than shock fodder to feed;
and the stalk is more completely

WOOD LOT VERY CCNVEKiENT
ucetul for Fuel SuppIy az Wei ao-for
Fence Posts and Timber fcr
Other Purposes.

During the years that have passed
Eany men have been engaged In fight,
ing the forest, cutting and clearing
land of timber. preparing II. for the
pow. In other words, making farms
and homes. The work still continues
in the heavily timbered sections.
Much bad Judgment was used iu
the early clearing, often rather steep
h,lsides were denuded of timber and
the soil put under the plow, while in
many instances more level portions
of the farm were left in timber. Wash
ing soon followed the cultivation of
such rough tracts, and today many
OF them are badly SCARED by deep
guilies and much OF the surface soil
has been carried away.
Every farm should have q small
wood lot. Forestry Oh the farm is to-
day an important feature of agricui
ture ond ought TO receive considerate
attention from farmers. A wood loy
10 very convenient to have, not only
Is a source OF fuel in times OF scarce

but to furnish fence posts and timber
for various uses and to add beauty
to the landscape and promises, aford
shade. shelter and comfort to large
extent for all the occupants of tho
farm.
a wood lot properly cared for will
continue TO grow and produce sufli-
cient for the needs of the farm for
time. And little study of the sub
ject of forestry will greatly aid in
maintaining the tract in good condi-
ton.

vsLYE OF STRAW F0R STOCK
Comfortable Stable and Good Bed is
as Necessary for Animals as It
Is for Human Beings.

Al stock should be given a thick
bed OF straw. leaves or sawdust A
comfortable stable and good bed is
as necessary for animals as it is for
human beings. II straw is wanted for
feed, forest leaves may be used in.
stead.
Leaves contain large percentage
of ash, and though not SO valuable
as straw for litters, are very good.
Sawdust makes an excellent litter for
oil stock. 1t not only adds bulk.
which is Of value, as thus the manure
is divided, and is more easily and
evenly distributed, but it decays both
: In the heap and in the soil, thus af.
fording organic matter and ash to the
splapt. while it retains all the valua-
bic qualities of the manure.
Sawdust absorbs the urine, and
when this saturated sawdust ia
thrown out into pile in the yard
1t will soon ferment. and if the ma
snare is not kept moist and well plas-
tered much OF the ammonia in the
manure will evaporate into the air.
The better plan Is to mix the horse
manure with the COW manuIe, using
plenty OF plaster and woods earth.
A layer of each kind of manure mixed
With few shovels of woods earth
will add vegetable matter and pre-
vent the loss of the urine, which is
the most valuable portion of the ma
nuro.
Straw Is worth fully $3.50 per ton
for bedding alone, and if dry and of
good quality, worth twice this for feed
In cold, frosty weather plenty of bed
ding is a great comfort to work
horse, and. in fact. to any animal.
Bed the sheep pens with little straw
once a day. Most of the straw will
be eaten If of good quality.

GROWING SUGAR-BEET SEED
Outbreak Of European War Has Cut
OF Supply From Germany-Farna-
er Must Find New Source.

Tho greater part of the sugar-beet
seed sown each year in the United
States has formerly been imported
from Europe. principally from Ger
maryland RHssla. The outbreak OF
the present war has cut off this sup
ply and now the problem is to fiEd
new sources for obtaining seed. The
growing of beet seed has been neg
lected in this country duo to o de-
creasing sugar content in beets from
native grown seed and also to the
scarcity of the hand labor necessary
In harvesting the crop. But now 1t is
up to the American farmer to grow
his own seed
Although most of the factories have
sufficient seed on hand for the
1916 sowing, yet a considerable acre
age has been set to seed beets. The
beets are set out carly i'll spring in
rows four feet apart, the crown Of
the beet being Just level with the sur
face of the ground.
First u large thick cluster of leaves
grows up to about is inches in height
and then the seed stalks appear
Some beets send up but one large
branching seed stalk but the major
ity have several. four to ten. Of the
tall branching stalks.
The beets are cultivated both ways
similar to corn until about the first
of July when the seed stalks get SO
tall, in some cases reaching up five
and six feet and bending over pre-
NJ.
by field of these plants does not
present very prepossossing appear
ance, the tall, struggling seed stalks
greatly resembling large plants of
the narrow-leaycd or curly dock.
