IMPROVE QUALITY OF SILAGE
Feed May Be Materially Bettered by
Using Care In Taking II Out
Keep Surface Level.

The quality Of the silage may be
materially bettered by using care In
taking 1t out. Don't put the fork down
Eve or six inches deep, as though you
we're pitching manure, but use fork
with tines close together and skim on
the top, only loosening what you need
for the days feeding. Keep the sur
face level and perhaps a little lower
near the outer wall.
Silage cannot be handled as care
lessly as ordinary roughage. The
cows In eating will throw some out OF
the hangers, and some may be scat
tered along the feed alley. II this Is
allowed to remain there It will soor
cause a bad odor.

A woven-wire fence is seldom

SILAGE OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Use Of SlIos Becoming More and More

Some Of Advantages.

At this season of the year. the ques.

one. There is less argument needed
for silos at the present time than has
been true in the past for their use 10
becoming more and more common.
Some of the principal advantages OF
sllos are. they require less space for
roughage than any other type of stor'

ALFALFA DIFFICULT TO CURE
Where Two Cuttings Are Made Grass
Is Green at Each Time on 40
count Of Moisture.

When two cuttings Of alfalfa are
made. the grass Is very green at the
time OF each cutting. II Is therefore
difficult TO cure. not only because Of
the large amount Of water the leaves
contain. but also on account OF the
large and succulent stems. With very
good hay weather the first crop may

cent. Jed, the butler, acts like

Hartley house Is fine old Isolated

CHAPTER vl-contlnued.

Or. Brownell suggested the winter
trip to the South. Mr. Sidney's vital
ity needed careful nursing. 1t was i'm
portant to protect him from winter
rigors, even as they could be modified
in a slckroom. The doctor said he
himself felt the need of change. He
prescribed one for both his patient
and himself. He and Mr.. Sidney made
the arrangements. Mrs. Sidney and
IsObel were to go.
Arrangements went ahead rapidly,
and a sense of desolatlon increased
within me. Romantic folly came to Its
accounting. The fairy story was to be
ended without youths necessary "They
lived happily ever after"
The yacht came up to Its mooring
and lay by the landing for week
while the provisioning was being cared
for. Hundreds of bottles of Mr.. Sid
ney's fine wines we're put on board
for the unspeakable Jed.
Isobel was eagerly anticlpatery. Mrs.
Sidney, thought, seemed merely to
be resigned, with trepidatlon.
Doctor Brownel said he was depriv-
Ing me of an interesting voyage. If he
did not go, should have been needed,
but he thought 1t important for his
efficiency that he conserve his strength
over the winter. and he asked me to
act as one Of his assistants.
That was fattery. 1t was intended
TO be so.
Mrs: Sidney was the one who Of
fered me the real balm.
