STURGEON. 10. August 80. Il
Ben r. Tucker. Who lives about 81
niles southwest q here, has two
sE-ss that have raised six lambs.
Recently he sead four Of the lambs,
They weighed eighty pounds each ard
brs1ght s4s. Ths remaining two
lambs yielded ter pounds Of wool
each, which sold at 81 cents, netting
sl2-20. Thus Tucker got S50.20 fer
four lambs and twenty pounds Of
wool and he s6ll has his original ewes
and two Of the lambs left.
This IS regarded as almost the rec
ord in this vicinity.
". J. Hanna, near Long Branch,
threshed 65 bushels to the acre from
20 acres of oats. He has 100 acres.
Of corn that is not yet very good and
plans TO put most Of it in his silo.
J. N. and Jet Settles, near Row
ena, are planning to SOW IS acres Of
wheat. They threshed 1850 bushels
Of oats from rs acres and have 95
acres of corn they pronounce good.
Albert Harrison, the feeder from
Audrain county, Mo-, who put a top
on the yearlings early this week, at
s14. so, topped himself out Thursday
by soc, when he sold the feedlot mates
for SIS. There were 90 in the string
that averaged 9s8 lbs identical with
the weight of his early week offer
ing. Mr.. Harrison bought all his
cattle on this market and wintered
them On silage and a little corn, after
wards putting them on blue grass and
straight corn, and he certainly got
the results. He was certainly all
smiles when he heard of his sale yes
terday. = Live Stock Reporter.
When to Cut SiIage Corn
One of the few cases where a man
had better be too late than too early
is in the time of fillino the silo. By
all e avoid cutting silage corn
too early. Silage from immature
corn, turns sour, is less palatable than
when properly made, and has lower
feeding value.
Best results are obtained by com
mencing to fill while the leaves of the
upper part of the stalks are yet
green, but not until the kernels are
distinctly dented, in dent varieties or
considerably hardened in others.
When silage corn is so dry that the
cut fodder does not feel moist as it is
squeezed in the hand, water should
be added at filling time. This can
best be accomplished by turning a
running hose into the blower. The
amount of water to be used will de-
pend on the rate of filling. Aim to
make the cut fodder moist enough to
pack down solidly.
Farmers who are making their first
use of the silos this Fall in order to
save all they can for the short feed
supply, will do well to give close at
tention to the matter of cutting the
corn at the proper time. An error
then may mean feed wasted instead
Of feed conserved. And feed con-
served will help win the war. st.
