Filling a sIIo.

packing and uniform distribution Of
the corn. The entire surface, espe-
cially the outer edge, should be packed
firmly. The best help Obtainable should
be stationed in the silo.
The large cutter with the correspond
ing large capacity frequently saves
money in filling the silo, but 1t may re-
suit in waste of the storage capacity
of the silo. If the silo is filed rapidly
the corn has little time to settle. Slow
filling allows the corn to settle as it is
stored, with the result that more corn
can be placed in given space. To over
come this disadvantage of rapid filling,
woven wire may be extended above the
top Of the silO, thus increasing Its ca
pacity until it can settle. Patent roofs
are made which serve the same pur-
pose. Refilling in two or three days
will accomplish the same end.

Distributing and packing silage In

less the blower has distributor at
tachment there Is tendency for the
cut corn to fall in one place In the
silo. If the silo is filed In this way,
the finer and lighter portions of the
stalks are frequently blown to the out
side, and the heavier parts, ears and
butts Of stalks, are deposited in the
center, thus causing an uneven distri-
button of grain and stalks and a con-
sequent uneven quality of silage. I'm
even distribution is frequently the
cause of soft places and air pockets,
which later result in spoiled silage.
When the lighter portions are blown
to the outside they DO not pack well
and the silage spells near the wall.
Such spoilage, which really results
from careless filling. Is often attributed
to the silo. Thorough packing requires
plenty of men and persistent work.
Good silage can be had only by uniform

ATTENTION NEEDED BY COLT
Grain Ration After Weaving Com.
posed Of Corn, Oats and Bran 10
Good-Water Regularly.

A good grain ration for the colt af-
ter weaving is composed Of One-fourth
corn, One-fOurth bran and One-half
oats, or one-fourth corn, three-eighths
bran and three-eighths oats. Crushed
oats are to be preferred to whole oats.
A feed-bOx in which to place the feed
can be put in the pasture field If other
stock will not interfere with the colt
while eating.
In late fall as the pasture grass
grows short, 1t should be supplement-
ed with clover or timothy hay, all the
colt will eat. The colt at pasture
should have access to drinking water
regularly. If there is no drinking wa
ter in the pasture field, turn the young
animal in to the water trough just as
regularly as the work horses are
turned to water.

GOOD HORSES NEEDED

1t Is true that motor power Is
taking the place of horses in
many kinds of work, but the
horse still has an important
part to play. This country has
shipped more than 100000
horses and 100000 mules to the
allies since the beginning Of the
war and more are going all the
time. Horses have played an
important role In this war, be-
cause horses can be used on
roads and in many places where
truck and motor power are
helpless.
At the rate which horses are
being exported we cannot help
but feel a need for horses In
this country and especially II
the war continues much longer.

Great Britains embargo on shipments
of practically everything to Sweden,
Denmark, Norway and The Netherlads
is regarded here as OF utmsot import
ance in the move for tightening the
Gordon slowly, but surely killing the
military power of Germany.
Together with the action OF the Unit

shipments to neutrals, this strikes a
death blow at the Central Powers.
Germany has been considerably de-
pendent upon the neutrals fer it's food
supplies, and now that this source is
stopped. the policy of "starve Germany
out" is bound to be felt.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-(Compiled by
the Associated Press from European
cables during the day 1--WE shall
lombard Germany with compound in
terest," said Premier Lloyd George, ad-
dressing a London crowd today He
promised his hearers England would
soon launch reprisals for the recent
continued air raids on London.
French reprisals, which are to be
part of the allied plan to lombard all
Germany from the skies, are already
under way French airmen during last
night dropped bombs on Baden, Ger
man town fifty miles from the French
frontier, doing considerable property
damage. These same planes, before
returning to French territory, exploded
numerous bombs on military establish
ments in German-held Belgian terri
tory
There is a continuous artillery ac-
tivity on the French front today, es-
pecially in the Verdun region, where
the French are apparently preparing
to attack. Only few trench elements
were retained by the Teutons when
they were thrust back after Hill 304
fell into French possession, and it is
thought it is the purpose of General
Petain to drive the enemy out of
these positions altogether.
In Flanders only artillery activity is
reported, with little indication that in
fantry thrusts are about to be under
taken.
