BETTER QUALITY OF SILAGE
kafir Corn and Sorghum Can Be Used
With Good Results-Stage OF Cut
ting Is Important.

Corn Is recognized as the best crop
for silage but for conditions where
kafir corn or sorghum Is better suit
ed these crops can be used with good
results. In quality Of silage, kafir,
followed by sorghum, ranks next to
corn. according to C. ii. Eckles of the
University of Missouri college OF ag-
riculture. The yield of silage by these
crops is usually equal to, or greater
than, that from corn. The stage or
cutting sorghum and katir for silage
is of special Importance In making
good silage. These crops should be
practically mature, that Is the seed
should be hard. If they are cut too
early the silage is quite sour. If the
crops should get frosted before they
are cut they should be cut at once
and put into the silo. II they become
too dry before cutting sufficient wa
ter must be added so that the silage
packs well.

HOME ECONOMICS
(By Helen Carstens)

The question is frequently asked:
What is Home Economics? Home
economics is the art of home-making,
and of home building. 1t is not a
trade; nor is it just something which
any woman of average intelligence
should know enough to do. Home
Economics includes the study of
foods, textiles, sewing, household
management. The latter includes
the conservation Of money, strength
and time for "higher life." Home
Economics includes household sani
tation, care of sick, study of bacter
iology, home decoration and the
equipment of home.
1t teaches us the value of foods;
which foods are most nourishing for
the least amount of money. Since all
girls and women, simply because
they are women, wish to be attrac-
tive they must have the knowledge
and training which will enable them
to do so,
The duties of home maker, not
mere housekeeper, are to make
home attractive; see that the chill
dren and husband are we'll cared for
