HAS BUST OF HEROD0TUS

DR.. Robinson, director OF the Metro

which has been in the museums store

There are but five known portraits
of Herodotus. The New York portrait
bust was originally found at Benha,
in Lower Egypt, and passed into the
possession of Emil Brugsch Bey, from
whom it was acquired and presented
to the Metropolitan Museum of Arts.
The recognition was based on the re-
semblance of the known portraits and
the finding of the learned mans name
inscribed upon it. AS work of art it
was not very highly regarded. but as
the sixth known portrait of Herodotus
1t assumes new dignity. It is also said
to be one of the best portraits extant.

ROOTED SILO is PREFERRED
Helps Prevent Freezing Of SiIage
Keeps Out Snow and Protects
Walls of SiIo.

By r. L. PATTY, South Dakota Expert
ment Station.)
The old notion that it is unnecessary
to roof the silo was wrong. Experience
shows that a si1o roof helps to prevent
the freezing of the silage, keeps out
snow, protects the silo walls when
empty, and thereby adds to it's life
service.
The roof is necessary on stave silc
to give it rigidity in addition to protec'
ton. If the roof is put on after the
silo is filed, no inside scaffolding is
necessary.
Common types of silo roofs are
shingled, concrete, light hollow brick
prepared roofing on tight sheathine
and metal. The roof should match the
silo. If one builds a fire and wind
proof silo, he should by all means put
on fire and windprooof roof. The root
should be made to last as long as the
silo. A short-lived- roof should not be
put on 1ong-lived s1lo.

FATTENING FEED FOR STEERS
Experimental Stations Recommend
Corn SiIage and Concentrates az
Best for Cattle.

Corn silage and concentrates are
highly recommended as fattening feed
for steers. Experimental stations re-
port that silage and oil meal or cot
tonseed meal invariably prove to be
cheaper than corn or even than hay
or corn with concentrates or silage
and hay by themselves.
It is admitted that steer cannot
be finished for beef properly and to
the best advantage on an all-silage
diet. But the most polished steer on
the market is not always the most
profitable one. High. priced feed may
surcost the high priced carcass.

prepared by the United States Depart

1t is practically impossible to try to
make an old alfalfa field look like new
by attempting to SOW more seed after
disking or cultivating in the fall.
Thousands of dollars worth of seed
are wasted in unsuccessful attempts
to revive the waning stand of alfalfa.
Specialists recommend that fields on
the decline should be plowed up and
reseeded.
Even though the seed terminates
successfully, the plants mature at
periods different from those of the old
plants, while ordinarily the young
plants are smothered out before they
make much growth. Even where an
alfalfa field is patchy and covered
with practically bare spots, it is not
advisable to attempt to reseed except
by breaking up the entire field and
again sowing down with alfalfa.
Not Profitable to Cultivate.
It is always Objectionable, according
to the specialists, to cultivate Or disk
an alfalfa field irrespective Of it's age
and condition, as carefully conducted
experiments have shown that the only
section in which it was profitable to
cultivate the alfalfa crop in any way
was in the irrigated belt Of the far
West.
Usually unfavorable results attend
where alfalfa is disked under eastern
conditions, although in the case Of al
