WHAT DOES A sILO HOLD?

The following clipping from the
Southern Agriculturist will give the
farmer an idea of what tonnage his
silo holds both when filed with
green silage and dry fodder:
The capacity Of silo is usually
estimated on the basis of 40 pounds
to the cubic foot. The actual
amount OF siIage in silo depends
largely upon the condition of the
silage when it is put into the silo
and the extent to which it is packed.
Prof. A. L. Heacker says that he has
seen a 16x32-foot silo exceed its es-
timated capacity by 20 tons, and
that. on the other hand, he has seen
silage, put in very dry and with little
packing, that would lack 80 or 40
per cent of weighing out to the esti-
mated amount. To find the cubic
feet in a silo. multiply the square
of the diameter by 1854 and this by
the height. This divided by so will
give the number Of tons the silo will
hold

USE MORE POWER

The biggest question in this coun-
try today is how can the average
farmer do two or three mems work.
This short item taken from the
Southern Agriculturist is suggestive:
The farm labor supply remains
short, and threatens to grow short
ct. II must be met by the largest
practical use OF team-power and i'm
proved machinery. There is no 9TH
or way to meet it, No farmer who
can pillow two burrows at a time
should be content to plow one fur
row; no farmer can afford TO Guilt
waite one side of a row at time if
he can find any means by which he
can cultivate both sides. Heavier
teams and more teams to the man;
more mechanical motive power, larg-
or and more efficient farm imple-
ments generally-all these are de-
manded as never before. This Is
the year of all years for the farmer
Ia add to the strength of his hands
by giving those hands control OF
more horse and mechanical power

ENGINE IL LIKE MULE

Farmers are thoroughly familiar
with the problem of overlooking a
small mule. They are not so well
acquainted with engines, so the
county agent put his scissors into
The Southern Agriculturist to give
his readers the following concerning
the overlooking Of engines:
An engine that is loaded to the
limit will not last as long as one that
is loaded less heavily. The heavier
the load the harder and heavier the
strain in all parts. There is more
vibration and the cylinder is heated
hotter than usual. Furthermore. an
engine running in this way will con-
sumo more fuel per horse power de-
Yeloped than when running with a
moderate load. There is a certain
load which each engine an carry
81 with the minimum quantity OF fuel.
II the load is either increased or
diminished from this point, the en-
CINE Is less economical.

HERE'S A FARM FABLE

The men about the stores in the
country are growing over the low
price of hogs and they have a right
TO growl. These GROWERS should
read the following short fable clip
ped from the Southern Agriculturist
before they growl themselves out OF
Ghe growing OF hogs;
Once the prices Of hogs went up,
and certain man said, There is
big money in hogs" So he bought
hogs extensively and fed them. At
ter a while the price OF hogs went
down, so that fat hogs wre worth
no more than shoats had been be-
fore. Then this man said, There
is no money In hogs" and he sold
all OF his. But after a while the
price OF hogs went up again. and
this man said, 1T seems that l
should not have quit so SOON" so he
bought some hogs once more. But
he was then poorer than when he be-
gan with hogs; for buying when
prices are up and selling when prices

KEEP SCATTERING MANURE

Mr.. Neel, answering questions in
the Southern Agriculturist concern
ing the use of manure on young
grass and clover, has the following
to say:
After it is too late to apply the
manure on the corn land some might
be scattered thinIy on the wheat and
preferably where clover and grass
are sovn and it could be applied
thinly on young grass and clover.
At least two or three months should
be allowed between the time Of ap-
plying manure on grass and clover
seedlings and harvesting the hay, to
allow rotting of the litter and set

STICK TO THE HOG

The county agent has been asked
so many times lately will ii pay to
Keep on raising hogs? that he has US
ed his scissors on the Southern Agri-
cuiturist to give the readers OF this
paper an opportunity to read the
editorial below:
Year in and year out, the hog is
a money maker Last year many
hog feeders lost money, but last
year was an unusual year in many
ways. No one could foresee the
slump Of last fall; and besides, the
business in which there are no bad
years is a remarkable business in
deed. The men who decided to go
out OF the hog business and "quit
fooling with hogs" Just because they
lost money on hogs one year are TAX
ing an altogether too short-sighted
view of things.
Stick to the hog-the old SOW is
the farmers faithful friend, and may
be counted on TO help him out OF
many a tight place. Get good hogs
the day Of the scrub has passed
raise them largely on pasture crops.
feed them a balanced ration, give
them sanitary quarters to live in.
and they will be a steady source OF
profit.
The question Of pasture crops for
the summer and fall months should
have attention right now. The
feeding plans should be fully matur-
ed before the crops are planted. For
hogs are raised cheaply only when
they gather a large part of their
feed for themselves. and the man
who expects his hogs to get their liv-
ing entirely from the corn crib or
the feed sack might better stick to
something else and let hogs alone.

FARMERS MUST TELL HIM

With prices of hogs and cattle
falling the Farmer is wondering
what he can do to make the other
fellow understand his problem. The
man who really wants to know,
should read this editorial from the
Southern Agriculturist:
The average consumer of farm
products has not taken the time to
ascertain just how far the farmer
is responsible for present prices OF
foodstuffs. Neither has he thought
it worth his while to find out how
much of what he pays for foodstuffs
goes to the farmer. II he knew
these things his feeling toward the
farmer would be materially changed
in most cases, and the farmers
chance Of getting a square deal
economically and politically would
be greatly increased.
He is not going to find out unless
the farmer tells him. 1t is part OF
the farmers business just now to
tell him. There is nobody else TO
do il. and it is to the consumers as
well as the producers interest that
the facts be known. The farm pa
pers have much to say right along
this line. but most city people do
not read the farm papers. Farmers
do a lot OF talking among themselves
but this does not get them anywhere.
They need right now to talk to the
consumers. For let it be kept in
mind that our present economic sys-
TEN OF marketing farm products can
be made over into cheap and direct
system only by the co-ordinated ac-
tivity Of both producers and con-
sumers.
Here is another way to do it.
The Rural New Yorker prints the
ad following and tells how the far
mer whose name ii bears had 1t

line. Mass. at his own expense:

JOHN d. PEARBAN,
birmingham, Mass.
Such advertising as that on a ma
tional scale would be good business
right now. OF course. it could not
be done by individual farmers; but
the big farm organizations could do
it, and ought to do II.
There is entirely too much rake
off between producer and consumer.
The consumers one chance of get
ting cheaper farm products is in the
shortening of the road between the
producer and himself. He seems
not to realize this, and y is to the
interest of the producer TO make
him realize 1t. Let US all see If we
cannot help a little.
