LETTERS FROM THE
MISS0ULIAN FAMILY
THE MILK QUESTION.
Editor Missoulian:

t<ultOr MlSSoullan:
In your issue Of this morning, OBJ
serve an extract FROM IAN appeal for
better inspection of diaries and dairy
products that nearly all infectious
diseases are spread by impure milk"
Since January Of this current year
have had occasion to visit at several
datries, and in each and every instance
the condition was excellent and would
have been impossible to improve up
on 1t.
AS to the assertion about Infectious
diseases being spread by milk" such a
mode is possible with some diseases,
but there never has been a case Of
either infectious or contagious dis
ease traced to milk in the history Of
Missoula. There is not any connection
between the existing cases Of measles
and scarlet fever and the milk supply;
such statements cause grea. deal Of
unnecessary alarm, want of con-
fidence in some very worthy people.
Very truly yours,
f. +. CUNNINGHAM, NJ. D.,
County Physician.

SOIL CULTURE
SILOS FOR DAIRYMEN.

Most Economical Method Of Storing
Green Feed For Cattle.
Experiment stations and the best
dairy and stock FARMS in this country
have proved beyond doubt that a silo
is almost indispensable to a successful
dairy and live stock business, says the
Pennsylvania State college. II such is
the case, does not its need then be-
come doubly urgent under present con-
ditions?
The silo affords an economical way
Of storing green roughage. With the
corn plant there Is always great
waste in harvesting. husking and stor-
ing the dry material The silo elimi-
mates this waste.
An average acre. will produce 2,516
pounds Of digestible dry matter in tim
othy hay, while in corn lear add stalk
1t will produce 5,O25 pounds, or prac-
tically twice as much digestible dry
matter. The feeding value Of these
roughages for dairy cattle is widely
different in favor of corn, especially
when the silo is used. Silage also has
an additional value through its reten-
ton Of the natural plant juices. which
furnish succulence.
On farms where little alfalfa or clo-
yer is grown 1t Is possible to increase
the protein content of the silo by inter-
cropping soy beans with the corn or
growing these two crops separately.
II one cannot command sufficient la
Dor to store the green corn in the silo
at the proper stage of maturity the
crop may be harvested in the usual
way and left to cure in the shock.
Later Several months If need be- when
labor does become available the corn
can be successfully stored in the silo.
Experiments and practice have
shown quite conclusively that dry
shock corn may be successfully pre-
served in the s,lo if water is added at
the time of storage in amounts by
weight Of one to two times as great as
the dry stover stored.
Now is the time to plan for building
silo for this years corn crop. Wood
stave, wood hoop monolithic concrete
and wood hood plastered silos may Of
ten be constructed at low cost.

| ]. J. Schroeger has a nice home
southwest of Aberdeen and has been
making quite study of how to get
rid of wire worms. He has read
up everything he can find on the
subject and concludes that burning
off the trash about the farm that at
fords any protection or Matching
place for the worms is the first step
against them. Then spring cultiva-
ton is the next thing. Mr.. Schroeg-
err says that when man has done
that he will not have any wire worms
left. He says the report that dip
ping seed grain in blue vitriol, to
prevent wire worms from cutting the
tender shoots, Is all myth. The
blue vitriol simply poisons the husk
of the grain and when the little shoot
or stem grows up to the surface the
wire worm eats section out of 1t
and there is no possibility of his
coming in contact with the poison.
Mr.. Schroeger reports having winter
wheat 200 acres, of which about half
was winter killed to such an extent
that he has plant it again. He has
40 acres of peas, 40 of barley and

of hay.
