into silage successfully. Much care. from such hollow-stemmed plants as the small cereal grains by cutting fine and packing firmly. Other crops, of which legumes are examples. are deficient in the fermentable constituents needed for palatable silage. On the other hand, a few crops, such as the saccharine sor- ghums, have so much sugar that unless cut at more mature stage they have a tendency to produce sour silage
 In most parts of tho United States more food material can be obtained from an acre of corn as silage than from an acre of any other crop that can be grown. Corn is more easily harvested and put into the silo than crops like rye, clover, cowpeas or alfalfa, and when cut for silage the maximum quantity of nu- trients is preserved Experiments have sown that corn, when sliced, lost 15.6 per cent. of the dry matter. against 23.8 per cent. when cut for fodder and cured in the field. Moreover, there is less waste in feeding silage than in feeding fodder, since good silage properly fed is all consumed. When corn is cut for sil- age the land is cleared and left ready for another crop sooner than when the corn is shocked or is husked from the standing stalk. Corn can be put into the silo at a cost not above that of shocking, husking, grinding and shred ding.

BROoDY HENS LAY NO EGGS
 HOW TO BREAK THE HABIT

When hens become broody they should be broken up" as quickly as possible The sooner this is done, the sooner they will resume laying. To break hen of broodiness, she should be confined to a small coop raised off the ground. prefer ably with a slat bottom. Give her plen- ty of water to drink she may be fed or not, as desired. Not much difference will be found in the time required to break her of broodiness, whether she is fed or made to fast.
 Usually from three to six days con- fnement will break her, but some hens require 10 to 12 days. The broody hen will be recognized by her inclination to stay on the nest at night, the ruffiing of her feathers and her picking at anyone who approaches her and by the clucking noise she makes. The fact that her broodiness has been broken up" can be recognized by the disappearance of these symptoms

KILLING AND DRESSING
 

CAPONS FOR MARKET Capons selected for killing should be confined for 24 hours without feed or water, to empty; their crops completely. The usual method of killing is known as the sticking method. The fowl is hung up by the feet the head held in the left hand and the whole body stretched to full length. The mouth is forced open and the blood vessels at the back of the throat are severed with a sharp mar row-bladed knife. Tho knife is then turned and the point plunged through the roof of the mouth to a point just behind and between the eyes. piercing the brain. The muscles are relaxed and the feath- CTS come out easily.
 Capons should always be dry picked as they look much better, and as some of the feathers should should be left on The feathers of the neck and head the tail feathers, those a short way up the back, the feathers of the last two joints of the wing and those of the leg, about one-third of the way from knee to hip joint, should be left on. These feathers, together with the head of the capon, serve to distinguish it from other classes of poultry on the market, and consequently should never be removed. In picking be careful not to tear the skin. Bad tears should be sewn up. Ca pons scalded and picked bare bring very little, if any, better prices than other poultry in the same condition.
 Most markets require capons to be undrawn and the head and feet left on. Care should be used to cleanse the head and feet of all signs of blood or filth
 After picking, the carcasses are hung in a cool place until the animal heat has entirely left the body, when they are ready to be packed. Like other poultry, they should be packed in boxes of con- venient size, holding dozen carcssses, or in barrels. Every attention should be given to neatness and attractiveness as this helps the sale and the price. Dur ing the time of year when most capons are marketed-January. February and March-no ice is necessary, but if for any reason they arc shipped in warm weather they should be packed in Ice.

with ,coal-tar disinfectant; examine the birds for feather lice, which are troublesome, especially in hot weather. Birds having many lice should be treat ed with sodium f1uorid, either dusting by the pinch method or dipping in so- lution, the latter method being prefer able. The nests or nest-pans should be cleaned out and the nesting material re- moved whenever dirty, care being taken not to disturb the squads any more than is absolutely necessary.
