In planting corn and building silos
this year probably more farmers than
ever before are providing a silage
supply for horses. The old feeling
that silage was good for dairy cows
only was long discarded, but the horse
Is perhaps the last most important
animal on the farm to prove that it
,ould make good use of silage. While
especial care must be taken not to
use moldy or other inferior silage or
to depend too exclusively on silage,
recent tests Of the Missouri Agricul-
ural Experiment Station and long
experience of a few farmers and
horsemen indicate that cost of upkeep
an be reduced and q horse kept in
better condition If from to 25 pounds
Of slage are fed per day. OF course.
he possibility Of saving depends on
he conditions and prices Of other
feeds and the amount to lie fed de-
ponds upon the same things and upon
he size of the horse and the amount
Of silage he will eat Different horses

In the tests at the Missouri Expert

Of the ration during the last two WIN
ters with favorable results, except In

mare which refused the silage at first,

COMMERCIAL STRAWBERRY CULTURE
BY j. OSCANIP.

Frequent and shallow tillage the
drst season Is one of the secrets of
successful berry growing. Cultivate
often enough to keep a continuous
dust mulch on the surface to conserve
the moisture; this will vary with the
soil and season, from twice a week
to once every ten days. Decrease the
cultivated area between the rows as
the season advances, allowing the
runners to set. making a matted row
fourteen to twenty inches wide. Then
keep the runners cut. OF course hand
hoeing will be necessary to keep the
weeds and surplus runners down.
Blossoms should be kept pinched off
as 1t is desired that the plants put all
their energy into growth this first
season
Commercially the strawberry is
propagated by means OF runners and
every plant is merely a cut off or
somewhat distantly separated portion
of the original plant Of that particular
Z. ariety. A bed intended to grow
plants for setting should expend all
its energies in the production Of

IS SILAGE GOOD FOR HORSES?
That
Mateo Of wand the o

the colt. which Is given more as 1t
grows and becomes accustomed to this
feed until at a year old he Is getting
Is pounds Of silage a day.
One importing firm has fed silage
for five years following about the
methods just outlined and reports ex-
cellent results and reduction in the
need for veterinary services.
Some Of the horsemen who have fed
inferior silage have not had such uni
formly good results, but 1t is a poor
plan to give a horse moldy or rotten
food of any kind. Silage that has
been frozen or that was made from
immature corn is regarded with sus-
picion. Some owners have thought
that their horses had died as a re-
suit of being fed such silage, and while
the station has not been able to learn
definitely that silage was the cause of
death in these cases or find out ex-
actly how the supposed poison acted,
it Is well to take every preCaution.
AS silage Is low in dry matter and
the horse has not sufficient digestive
capacity to live entirely on such bulky
feed, it is important to remember to
use alfalfa, coWpeas, or other legume
hay, or perhaps even a little grain
for horses that are not at work, while
growing horses. or horses at light
work should certainly have grain.

Swat the Rooster-The one fault in
the management of farm tocks which,
from the viewpoint of improving the
quality of market eggs, Is worse than
all others combined is the almost uni
versal practice Of allowing the males
the freedom Of the flock after the
Matching season Ia over. N1ne-tenths
of the vast number of eggs that are
candled out every summer as unfit
for food are fertile eggs in which the
germ has started to develop. tenn
perature of seventy degrees will start
the germ in a fertile egg to slowly
developing A fertile egg, subjected
to temperature Of one hundred de-
grees for twenty-four hours, will be
unfit for food while an infertile egg
NAV be subjected to the same tenn
perature for a week and still be per-
fectly good for cooking purposes The
simple expedient of shutting up or
disposng of the adult male birds as
soon as the Matching season Is over.
If it should become the general GUS
tom, would result in the saving or
million of dollars worth of eggs every
sea son. Another important advantage
in having no males in the laying pens
is the fact that the hens without males
running with them are much more
gentle and quiet. The male Is a dis
turbing factor.
Valuable Male Birds-No one asks
or expects a farmer or poultry raiser
to kill or sell valuable breeding males
You might not be able to find what
you would want to take their places
the following season. The males
would be better off, however, and so
would the females and would make
better breeders the following, season,
I If the males were confined to separate
quarters and kept with but few. If
any, hens. Especially is this true in
hot weather. and during the mott.
Keep the males from the laying hens
and market i1fertile eggs. Unless you
are certain you will need the males
another season, it is best to sell them
and to give the room to the young
stock The feed the old males will eat
and which you would save would almost
pay for new males, thus giving you
new blood and, perhaps better males.
Consider all these facts before acting.
How to Prevent Loss--There are
"a few simple rules which, if carefully
observed, will increase the selling
price Of market eggs to the extent Of
several million dollars a year and
make them sought after in the fancy
egg markets of the world. These
rules are,
l. Give the hens clean nests and
plenty of them.
