Water to Moisten.

Silo filling is a hurry-up job in or
der to get all the growth possible and
to avoid frost. Consequently every.
thing should be made ready for a
continuous run when cutting starts.
The cutter should be put in first
class shape. special attention being
given to the knives and knife heads.
An extra set of knives should be on
hand. The blower. fan and both
knives should run at the rated speed.
Poor joints and Il leaky blower mean
more power and clogging. The cutter
bar should be in good condition and
the knives and bar properly adjusted
to each other. If any extras are like
ly to be needed for the corn binder
they should be on hand.
To Make Best silaee.
Authorities agree that the nearer
ripe the corn is. if it contains enough
water to make good silage, the sweet
er the silage will be and consequently
the more palatable: also the greater
the amount Of digestible nutrient It,
will contain. Roughly speaking.
majority of the ears should be dented.
When large quantities are to be cut It
is necessary to begin before the corn
is at its best, otherwise the last cut
will be too ripe.
Shortcut silage means greater silo
capacity. less air space and If the
corn is little dry. less likelihood of
spelling. Short cutting. also, means
reduced capacity of the machine and
more power. If the stalks are coarse
and woody the waste is greater In
long-cut silage. In fine stalked corn
that is very green there is less diff
ference between the long and short
cut.
Water Is Essential.
When corn Is very dry from being
overripe or frozen. it is often neces-
sary to apply water to the silage in
order to make it keep. Enough water
should be applied to moisten thor
oushly the whole mass. There is little
danger of applying too much water

PREPARE HOGS FOR SHIPPING
Animals Will Ride Easier on Empty
Stomachs-After Loading Soak
Well With Water.

The hogs should not he fed heavily
before loading. since they ride better
on an empty stomach. They should
not be put into the cars too long be.
fore the train leaves the loading sta.
ton. because they can stand the heat
much better in the pen than they can
in the car. They should be soaked
with cool water. If the owner accom-
panfes the shipment he should see that
they are sprinkled en- route. He should
also see that the hogs do not
crowd In the cars. At points where
the train stops it is advisable for him
to use pole and keep the hogs on
their feet. to guard against others
crowding and smothering them.

FAT THANKSGIVING TURKEYS
Fowls Will Begin to Hang Around
Farm Buildings When Range
Fails in Abundance.

The Thanksgiving turkey will he
gin to hang around the farm buildings
when the range fails to feed them
abundantly. Turkeys fatten better and
thrive better on old grain. Enough old
corn should be held over to feed them
up to Thanksgiving. However. the
fattening process should not beSn un-
til early November. The important
thing Is to feed enough each night to
keep them in the habit of coming
home, and to give them an airy place
to roost in and clean water to drink,
so that they may build vigorous con-
stitution and generous framework to
hold white and dark meat for the
Thanksgiving dinner.

material better chance to ferment
and decay. For these reasons it is
best to leave manure undisturbed
where produced. so far as possible,
until it can be hauled to the field,
says +. L. Duley of the University Of
Missouri. college Of agriculture.
Where animals are confined in stalls
or covered feeding yards the manure
may be allowed to accumulate for
several months and be hauled out
only once or twice year. with COM
paratively small loss of plant food. If
plenty of bedding is used it will alb
sorb the liquid manure and the tram
ping of the animals will keep this COM
pact and moist so as to prevent much
OF the aerobic fermentation and con.
sequent loss of nitrogen. If manure
is left in the stall or feed yard where
1t will be kept moist and thoroughly
tramped, so as TO exclude the air,
there is no better method of storing.
Since there is no teaching under these
conditions there will he practically no
loss of phosphorus or potash. The
covered feed yard is extensively used
IN some parts of the country. and de-
serves more attention in Missouri,
This method of handling manure is
advisable mainly where well-bedled
stalls are provided for horses, and in
cattle sheds or mule barns where the
animals run loose and the trampling
is more thorough.

USE LIME TO SWEETEN SOIL
Beneficial Effects Following It's Use
Have Not Been Appreciated
by Many Farmers.

Though lime is not fertilizer, 1t is
a soil amendment. a material added
for its indirect effect upon important
plant foods in the soil. and if the
soil is in need Of sweetening. it's eff
feet upon the growing crops will be
immediate and very beneficial.
The practice of applying lime in
some form has been followed for a
long time, especially in Europe. The
beneficial effects following its use
have been appreciated by farmers
since ancient times. but, strange to
say, in this country its need is not
generally realized to the extent it
should be. and in some sections il is
practically ignored.

TO SUCCEED WITH PUREBREDs
Most Satisfactory and Economical
Manner Is for Farmer to Pur.
chase Best Females.

The most economical and the most
satisfactory way for the average
farmer to start into purebreds is to
purchase good females to start with.
Care should be taken to see that they
are good. They should be healthy, of
the proper type, and either proven
producers or with proven ancestors. 1t
Is better to have only one good COW
than several medium quality animals.
A comparatively small outlay is nec-
essary when starting in this manner.
