Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Cut corn for silage when the kernels
have passed the milk stage and are be-
ginning to dent At this period the
greatest amount of food material can
be obtained and the best quality of
silage made.
The cutter should be adjusted to cut
the corn in short lengths, with three
fourths of an inch as the maximum
length. In general the finer the fod-
der is cut the more easily and more
compactly it can be packed and in
consequence the better the quality of
the silage.
Thorough Packing Necessary.
Too much stress cannot be laid upon
the necessity of thoroughly packing
the fodder in the silo so as to exclude
the air as much as possible. 1t is
upon this one thing that the keeping
of silage largely depends. A device
consisting of jointed pipe, or some
variation of it, attached to the ton
of the blower pipe is at present in
use for distributing the cut corn fod.
der in the silo. BY the use of this
distributor it is possible for one man
to scatter the cut corn evenly and al
the same time to tramp It, Without
the use of this device it is necessary
10 have at least one extra man in the
silo to fork the material over so that
1t is evenly packed. Besides the say.
ing of one mans labor, the distributor
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1918-09-17

does away with the nuisance of having
the loose material dying around, thus
annoying the man in the silo. and also
lessons the danger of being struck by
some foreign object that may have
passed through the blower.
Add Water at Cutting Time.
Oftentimes the corn fodder is so
dry when it is cut that it is necessary
TO add water to make up for the de-
ficiency il moisture and provide for
the proper packing of the silo. This
water is most easily added to the
blower when the corn is being cut, and
it is also more thorou ghly mixed with
the cut material in this way.
For the top layer of the silo 1t is
good practice to use heavy green stalks
from which the ears have been re-
moved. This forms heavy layer that
packs well and at the same time con-
t;inS smaller amount of food mate
rial so that the minimum loss is sus-
tanned if it spoils. Various methods
and materials have been used for COW
ering the top of the silage to prevent
its spelling. None has given complete
satisfaction, but the one mentioned
above has given as good results as
any, especially when the top layer
was thoroughly wet down and packed
firmly by tramping. The best prac-
tice is to commence feeding as soon
rs the silo is filed, in which case
there will be no loss of silage through
decay

PIRATE CAPTAINS DIE
VENGEANCE FINDS COMMANDERS
OF GERMAN SUBMARINES.
One Hundred and Fifty of Them
Listed by the British
Admiralty.

London, Sept. Although the Brit
ish government does not intend to
adopt the practice of giving proof of
official utterances made by it's minis
tiers, it has been thought desirable TO
print in newspapers the names of the
commanding officers of $50 German
submarines which have been disposed
of.
This is in order to substantiate the
statement of Premier Lloyd George In
the house of commons that "at least
80 Of these ocean pests have been
destroyed"
A majority of the $50 officers men
toned are dead. Some are prisoners
of war, and a few are interned in neu-
trail countries where they took refuge.
Among the officers named are:
Kapitan Lieutenant Schweiger, who,
while in command OF the U-20, torpe-
doed the Lusitania in May, 1915. The
U-20 was lost on the Danish coast in
1916, but Schweiger survived and was
In command of the U-S0, which was
lost with all hands in September, 1917.
Kapitan Lieutenant Paul Wagon
fukr, who sank the steamer Belgian
Prince July 81, 1917, and drowned 40
of the crew, whom he had ordered to
line up on the submarines deck when
the U-boat was about to submerge. His
submarine, the U44, was sunk with all
hands about a fortnight later.
Kapitan Lieutenant Rudolph Schnei-
den, who torpedoed the steamer Arabic
in August, 1915.
The statement says it is significant
that the authors of particularly afro
cious crimes have expiated them speed
lily after their commission.

STOPS BEER MAKING
ORDER ISSUED TO CONSERVE
GRAIN, FUEL AND LABOR.
Manufacturers of Soft Drinks Warned
They May Get Less
ia Coal.

Washington, Sept. Manufacture
of beer in the United States will be
prohibited after December 1 next as a
war measure.
The food administration announced
on Friday that the manufacture of
beer and other malt liquors will be
prohibited after December 1, as a war
measure.
This announcement said the deci-
sion had been reached at conferences
between President Wilson and rep
resentatives of the fuel, food and rail-
road administration and the war in
dustries board. Immediate suspension
of the purchase of grains for mailing
purposes was ordered.
The $12,000,000 emergency agricul-
tural appropriation bill with its rider
for national prohibition from next July
/ until the American armies are de-
modified after the end of the war was
passed by the senate without roll
call.
AS result of the presidents action,
the supply of malt liquors is likely to
be exhausted before the country goes
bone dry, July l, under the terms of
the war prohibition" bill.
The manufacturers of soft drinks
and other beverages and the bottlers
of mineral waters are also warned
that they also will suffer curtailment
of fuel and containers. BrewerieS and
will be utilized by the government so
far as possible for war purposes.

GUARD STOCK FROM PoISoNS.
IN many Instances Loss of Cattle and
Sheep Could Have Been Pre-.
vented by Precaution.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Many sheep and cattle are lost from
eating poisonous plants and other ma
teriai. In many instances a little fore
sight on the part of the owner would
nave prevented losses. To cite one
specific plant, most stockmen in the
eastern part of the country know that
laurel is poisonous, and yet they will
pasture their animals in a woodland
pasture in spite of the fact that laurel
abounds. Sometimes a few, at other
times many, animals are poisoned.
Other poisonous plants abound in
both the eastern pastures and the
western grazing lands, many of which
are definitely known and easily recog-
nized. A little nrecaution through fenc-
ing and selecting pastures would ma
terially reduce the deaths due to plant
poisoning. Larkspur, lupine, water
hemlock, darnel grass, wild cherry,
loco, white snake root, wilted sorghum
and oak brush (shinnery oak) are the
more common plants which exact a
heavy toll
Inorganic poisoning of farm stock is
also far from being of rare occurrence.
Common salt is definitely known to be
very poisonous to hogs and chickens
in comparatively small quantities. Soap
powder in swill has been the cause of
death of swine. Antiseptic tablets and
rat poisons also have caused deaths
among farm animals. Patent rat
pastes, and even fireworks, have been
eaten by fowls, which died later from
the effects of phosphorus poisoning.

DAIII!YygNOl!IES

Milk and milk products are the best
human foods known.
Cows must have shade during the
heat of the day in summer.
A good dairyman does not keep
COWS; he makes his cows keep him.
Diarrhea is the most common form
of calf troubles met with in hand-raised
calves.
All good dairy cows should be given
name and every COW should know
her name.
The pals used in feeding calves
must be kept strictly clean and used
for no other purpose.
Milk and milk products should be
more widely used on all our farms
during this period of our nations food
shortage.
Cream spoils when it gets warm.
Market or ship cream three times a
week in hot weather and twice a week
In winter.
Much skim milk which formerly
went to the feeding of calves, pigs and
chickens must now be utilized for hui
man food.
Constant vigilance is the price of
healthy calves, and the feeder must al
ways be on the lookout for conditions
of securing.
Where one has a number of cows
and considerable dairy products to
market some kind of refrigeration will
be indispensable.
1t is not reasonable to expect profit
able returns from cows in warm wealth
er when they mus stand in the hot sun
and fight flies all day.
Great care should be taken in wash
ing the milk pals. These should be
thoroughly scalded with boiling water,
or sterilized with steam if possible.
Nearly all calf disorders are caused
either directly or indirectly by lack Of
cleanliness, and clean conditions con-
stitute the best preventive Of disease
in the calf herd.
The need Of this country is not so
much more cows as it is better cows,
more properly fed and cared for.
One of the easiest ways In which to
improve the egg production In most
fiocks is by breeding to strong, vigor-
Gus males from winter-laying strains.
The most critical periods in fhs life
Of the young calf are at the age of
four to six weeks, when the feed is
changed from whole to skim milk, and
six to ten weeks. when the calf is be-
ginning to eat grain and hay.
