GIVING BEEF CATTLE sILAGE
Value of Material in Fattening En-.
pnasized by Experiment Conduct
ed at indiana Station.

The value Of the silo in fattening
cattle was strongly emphasized by the
Indiana station. In this experiment
substantial gains were made on the
following ration:
2.5 pounds cottonseed meal.
A pounds clover hay.
IA shelled corn.
27.7 pounds corn silage.
When silage was fed the cost oA
gain was one-half cent a pound less
than with dry feed and the increase
in profits amounted to from So to So
per steer. The cottonseed meal gave
much better results than oil meal and
tended to produce firmer flesh with
silage.
Where there is not an abundance o.
grazing when cattle are fed the silt
will be almost indispensable to econ
omy in feeding. The amount saved ir
feeding silage will soon pay for the
silo. 1t helps utilize the coarse feeds,
and it takes the place of green pas.

HANDLING SEED CORN
Care Necessary in Selecting Re-

Picking Out Most Productive Ears
While in Field and Storing in Dry
Place Is Only Half of Very
Important Task.

ment of Agriculture1
Shelling is one of the important
steps in selecting seed corn. The care
necessary in selecting and handling
corn to be used for seed requires she'll
ing to be done by hand. Selecting the
seed from the most productive stocks
as they stand in the field and storing
them in dry place free from insects
and rodents is only half the job in pro-
viding the next years seed corn sup
ply.
Seed ears should GrBt be nubbed and
the kernels from tip and butt should
be discarded from the seed supply.
The small kernels from the. tips are
less productive than the other kernels
on the ear the blunt, thick, rounded
kernels from the butts are just as pro-
ductive as any Of the rest, but because
Of their shape and size they do not
plant uniformly when used in a corn
planter with other kernels.
Shelling by hand takes more time
and labor, but is profitable. The me-
chanical corn shelter is likely to in
jure the germ tips of the individual
grains and to thus destroy or impair
their power to germinate. No matter
how large the required supply, it will
still pay to she'll it painstallingly by
manual labor, because the greater the
acreage to be planted, the greater the
ultimate profit.
Each ear should be shelIed separate
" into a shallow pan or box, and every
blemished, misshapen or worm-eaten
kernel should be rejected. AS the seed
from each ear is found satisfactory
and sound, and free from poor kernels.
it is poured into the general supply,
and another ear is shelled in the same
way. 1t is much easier to pick out de-
fective grains from a single layer in a
small receptacle than from large
mingled quantity in a bushel measure
or bag.

ROOTS EXCELLENT FOR HOGS
Found Most Profitable to Cook and
Feed While Warm, Mixed With
Ground Feed.

In our own experience where any
large number of roots were fed to
swine we found 1t most profitable to
cook the roots and feed them while
warm, well-mixed with the ground
feed. says writer in an exchange.
Fed in this way the hogs will eat
them readily. They enjoy warm food
and the ground grain mixed with the
roots has always given us good re-
suits. Where there are only a few
roots to be fed We should feed them
raw, letting the hogs gnaw them down
at their leisure. With this kind of
feed you must be careful not to give
too many of the roots at once, as 9TH
erwise they freeze and then of course
they are not satisfactory.

ADoNTs" FOR PUBLIC ROADS
Alabama State Highway Department
Issues Booklet Containing Excel

which has law establishing two such
days, has gone step farther by re-

other pertinent matter. In this pub
lication for the current year is list
of "Don'ts," and while the sugges-
tions were written for good roads
days, most of them have an everyday
value that makes them worth reading
The list follows:
Don't wait for your neighbor to
start something, start it yourself.
Don't wait for the county commits
sioiners to have that hole in the road,
about the size of a water bucket,
in front of your gate, fled. Fill it
yourself.
Don't kick about the bad roads when
you are turning water from natural
channels into the public highway.
Would you permit the county at will
to turn water on your farm?
Don't try to carry water and traffic
in the same place. One or the
other must seek a new location-Ala-
bama is dry.
Don't crown gravel or sand-clay

deep bitches on the sides.

BEAUTIFUL COLOR EFFECTS IN
HEDGES
BY |. M. BENNINGTON.

One of the most beautiful hedges is
made by planting scarlet saliva in a
row as background, then row Of
white nicotiana, with blue ageratum as
a border. In this combination we get
our patriotic colors. While the vivid
blue of the ageratum and the flaming
scarlet of the saliva would be anything
but a pleasing note if planted next
each other the intervening white nj
cotiana, softens and blends the col
ors until the effect is thing of beau
ty.
Zinnias, calliopsis and white phloy
is another effective combination for
hedges or mass planting. Plant the
zinnias in the back row, then the cal
liopsis and let white phlox form the
border.
Ricinus makes a splendid plant for
hedges. 1t grows to the height of sew
en- or eight feet, with huge coppery
leaves. This plant is also effective as
screen or used in the center of cir
cular beds, where it's rich tropical fol-
iage if combined with harmonious
plants is thing of beauty.
The seed is tender and should not
be put into the ground until all dam
ger from frost is past. In planting for
hedges use nasturtiums, zinnias or cal
liopsis in front of it.

EASY TO GROW FLOWERS AND
SHRUBS.

Why should not the playground at
school be made one of the beautiful
places of the school district? Here
the children spend most of their wake
ful hours more during the school
hours than at home. These hours of
study and play mean much more when
their surroundings are conducive to
putting forth their best efforts.
The green leaves OF the spring, the
colored foliage of the fall, the sumac,
asters and goldenrod, all add some
thing to creating more cheerful
spirit.
This is the day of popular education.
Every condition that will be most IA
vorable to all should be provided if
F1hings which have most real beauty
ITO commend them can be acquired with

What does 1t cost to plant tree or

what you want done.
A country schoolhouse in western
Ohio had bush roses, japonica, flow
ering ounce, snowballs, sweet clover,
bridalwreath, etc., set in masses in the
corners and near the sides SO that the
playground was not encroached upon.
Those which do not grow very high
are set in front. The hardy hydrangia

spring planting; they should be on
every school ground.

All that is necessary to do work of
this kind is to arouse little interest
among the children and patrons. The
war gardens of last year have demon
strated how eagerly the children fall in
with the plans of their elders and how
successful they can be in this particu-
Tar line of endeavor.
