These questions are before every

silo? If you have not your herd Is
not most economically fed. Why not
build a silo and fill 1t before frost
comes? If you have one, is 1t big
enough to supply all the silage your

Treating Heated Horses.

Do not bleed horses that have fallen
from sunstroke or heat exhaustion.
Apply ice or very cold water to the
head and spine. Give half an ounce Of
carbonate Of ammonia in one pint of
water as soon as the animal Is able
to swallow freely. Repeat the dose
in one hour If the pulse has not be-
come slower. Showering the horse
with cold water from n hose is good
treatment and should be repeated until
the body temperature is reduced to
1O3 degrees Fahrenheit. 1t helps In
some cases to rub the legs briskly with
wisps of hay or straw.
After the horse has again become
able to eat readily, specialists of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture advise that the following dose
Of tonic be given In his feed for
few days each morning and evening:
Sulphate Of iron. one dram; gentlan.
three drains; red cinchona bark, two
drams, mixed in the feed.

Can for the GOWN a silo!
Fruits and green vegetables are
canned to supply succulent and pala-
table foods for the family during the
winter. Succulence Is just as essen
tial to the COW as to a human being.
The abundant milk flow obtained from
June pasture to a large extent Is due
to the succulence Of the grass. Silage
provides succulent feed during winter
when pasture is not available. Silage
is palatable, and no other feed will
combine so well with dry hay and
a little grain to produce maximum
economical results.
Use Of sIIo Growing.
Dairy farmers especially have appre-
ciated the value Of sllage as milk
producer. But silage is good and
cheap feed for beef cattle, and also
for sheep and horses. Its value for
beef cattle Is illustrated by the fact
that the bureau of animal industry OF
the United States department of ag-
riculture, in cooperation with state
authorities and county agents, at pres
ent is conducting a campaign to In
crease the number Of silos on beef cat
tie farms. With more silos more beef
cattle can be produced economically
and fed during the winter. The cam
paign Is being given special attention
In the Southern states. particularly in
territory recently freed from cattle
tick quarantine, where the production
of beef cattle Is on the increase.
Saving Corn. Crops.
Silage is regarded as an excellent
way of preserving a mature corn crop
or Of saving one which for any reason
must be harvested before maturity.
About 40 per cent of the total food
material In the corn plant is in the
stalks and leaves. When the farmer
harvests only the ears he loses nearly
one-half of the crop. On the other
hand, when the crop is put into the
silo the loss Is very small. When
drought, frost or insects attack q field
of corn before 1t is ripe, the entire
crop may be lost unless the farmer
has a silo ready in which to preserve
1t.
No feed crops can be so successfully
harvested under widely varying condl-
tions as those that go into the silo.
Only in case of drought or frost is 1t
necessary to rush the filling of the
silo. Rain or dew on forage does not
injure the sllage.
Now 10 Time for SiIos.
The silo at all times and particu-
larly now, offers to the farmer one of
the best means of reducing his feed
bills. The present great emergency

skill is knowing how to do It, and vlr-

Jordan.
A patient who is struck by light

them back to breathing.
For sunstroke. loosen the clothing,
lny the patient In cool. shady place
and apply Ice water to the head.
Keep the head elevated.
For fainting, lay the patient on his
back with the head lowered, allow
fresh air to circulate freely around
him and sprinkle with cold water. Do
not administer water or any stimulant
to an unconscious person, as the mus
cles of swallowing are inactive and
strangulation might result.

DO WHAT THE ROMANS DO.

1t is not always necessary to
live In Rome to do rs the
Romans door did.
History tells of Roman farm
ers who carefully chopped fine
their various green. succulent
feeds and packed them In pits
for use during the winter sea-
son. The practice seems to have
been common. and the feed kept
well. From those early times
1t has been good practice to store
various green crops in pits or
air-tight containers for feeding
to stock. The silo is the present.
day result. and farmer who
raises live stock, be they cattle.
sheep or hogs, cannot afford to
be without one. The advantages
Of the silO are numerous. but
some of the more important are:
Green, succulent feed is avail
able throughout the year.
A sIlo stores more feed for less
cost than any other farm build
ing.
The feed Is handy for use.
