Get SILO READY
BEFORE FILLING
Paint Interior at Least Once in
Three Years and See That
Roof Is Water-T
DOORS SHOULD FIT TIGHTLY
Hoops of StaVe Structures Should Be
frightened and Any Defective Pieces
of Wood RepIaced-Air Will
Spoil SiIaee.

prepared by tie United States Depart
ment of Agrculture)
With the approach of the time for
filling the SilO, experts in the United
States Department of Agriculture call
attention to the deSirability of put
ting SflOs in shape and making plans
for filling which will save valuable
time in the rush of work. SilOs are
comparatively new feature of farm
management, and in many cases have
been built less substantially than some
of the older forms of farm structures.
SiIos Need Occasional Attention.
Even the best constructed silo will
need some attention occasionally. Con-
crete Silos, which are among the most
expensive of construction, require the
least attention as general rule, but
they will give better service if the in
side is given coat of special paint
about once in three years. Paint for
treating the interiors of Silos is easily
made of raw coal tar mixed with gasO-
line and applied with tar brush. The
roof should be inspected to see if it is
water-tight, and the doors may well be
looked over. They need to fit tight.
Wooden silos, either stave or board
construction, require additional atten-
tiOn. The hoops of stave silOs should
be frightened and any defective pieces
of wood replaced. In wood silos, par
ticularly the cheaper ones and those
of home make, there is always the like
lihnnd nf nj air in1, xx,iII
the silage.\
Careful attention should be paid to
seeing that the machinery to be used
in harvesting and storing the silage is
in working condition. Corn harvesters
and silO-tilling machinery are frequent
ly owned in partnership by several
farmers, and of course arrangements
need to be made in advance to see that
all the owners get their corn in at the
season when it is in best shape. In
using the corn harvester the bundles
should be made rather small. While
this takes more time, the extra expense
is more than offset by the ease in ham
ding the bundles and feeding them
into the silage cutter.
The corn ordinarily is hauled to the
cutter on common, flat hay racks. The
lOw-wheeled wagon is much prefer
able to the high one. An underslung
rack can be constructed with compara-
tive ease and will save much labor.
If the silage cutter and lifting ma
chinery have not been selected, every
effort should be made to get machinery
which has sufficient or excess capacity.

DURABILITY OF FENCE POSTS
Not Much Difference Between Split
and Round If Heartwood and
SapWood Equal.

Some people believe split fence posts
last longer than do round ones. Prob
ably as large a number hold the oppo-
site view. The forest products labora-
tory of the United States Department
of Agriculture says that one will last
about as long as the other if the per-
centage of heartwood and sapwood is
the same in both. If the percentage of
sapwood is increased by splitting, the
split post will be less durable, while
if the percentage of heartwood is in
creased it will be more durable than
the round one. Exceptions to this
should be made if the posts are of
spruce, hemlock or any of the true frs.
whose heartwOod and sapwood are
about equally durable.
If the posts are to be treated with
creosote or some other preservative.
the round post is preferable to the
split, because of the comparative ease
with which the sapwOod can be treated.
Experiments at the laboratory demon
strate that the heartwOod faces on
split posts do not, as a rule. absorb
the preservative as well as does the
sapwood.

SCOUT LAWS IN CAMP.

Every boy scout attending the White
Plains Council camp this summer, is
given little folder on the application
of the scout law in camp.
Here are a few of the paragraphs
discussing the different laws:
A Scout Is Trustworthy.-A scouts
honor is trusted in camp as we'll as.
elsewhere. The things you brought
to camp belong to you and what the
other campers brought belong to
them. Do not take anything that does
not belong to you without asking per-
mission of the owner. If he loans you
anything, you are trusted with 1t and
are expected to return it in as good
condition as when taken to the place
or person from whom borrowed. You
are responsible for any camp tools or
equipment you may use which are the
property of the camp. Be careful with
them and return them to their proper
place. When on a hike with other
scouts or alone, you are on your honor
and expected to behave as scout.
A Scout ls cheerfuI.-Smile, smile.
smile. No long face in camp. 1t will
cheer you up and also the other fell
low. Do your work cheerfully and
don't grumble at hardships nor Shirk
your duty. There are duties to be
done in camp; go at them with smile
and you will work better and quicker
Time is saved by doing your task the
best it can be done. Don't consider
it done until it is done in the very
best way.
A Scout Is Thrifty.-The camp
equipment has cost a great deal Of
money. 1t belongs to the scouts. How
long it lasts, depends great deal on
how you use it. A scout does not de-
stroy any property whether it belongs
to himself or to another. Respect the
rights Of others by using their things
in the right way. Make good use OF
your time in camp by learning some
| thing that will be of use to you. 1t
isn't necessary to spend all your
money because it has been given you
or you have earned it. To save it
| from being lost or recklessly spent
the camp bank is operated. Deposit it
there.

EXPERIMENT WITH CoRNcoBs
Of Big Commercial Value in Manufae-
ture of FurfuroI-AIso Good
for Charcoal.

o. r. Sweeney, head Of the chemical
college, in experimenting with corn
cobs has found several new uses for
the by-product formerly used mainly
for pipes and fuel.
The most important use discovered
thus far is the manufacture Of fur
furol, a highly desirable product used
in the dye industry. Since this indus
try is being established in the United
States the new by-prOduct has a great
commercial value. Another use is in
making charcoal of the quality used
in the sugar refining industry. Doctor

POTATO PRODUCTION
IN SOUTHERN STATES
Crop Commands Better Price
Than in the North.
Owing to Wide Divergence of Season
al Conditions, Coupled With Long
Growing Season, Tubers Can
Be Planted Any Time.

prepared by the United States Depart
melit Of Agriculture)
The importance Of the potato crop
in the South is due TO its market
value rather than it's magnitude, for
owing to the season in which it is
harvested it commands 4 better price,
usually, than the late crop in the
North The wide diver gence of sea-
sonal conditions in the South, coupled
with ng-growing season, makes it
possible to plant and harvest potatoes
in some locality in practically every
month in the year.
Owing to varying climatic condi-
tions, due to both latitude and alti-
tude, there are three distinct potato
crop seasons in the Southern states.
These are the early or truck crop, the
late or main crop, and the fall crop

The mistake is often made of getting
an outfit that is too small, thus max
ing the operation of filling the silo very
slow and interfering with the c0ntinu-
Gus employment of the entire force of
men. A number of satisfactory silaga
cutters are on the market. The chief
features TO be considered in cutter
are that it is strongly made and will
cut fine.
Harvest Corn Before Fully Ripe.
Ordinarily corn should be harvested
for the silO about week or ten days
before 1t would be cut for shocking;
that is. when about 90 per cent of the
kernels are dented and at least 10 per
cent of the kernels are hardened so
that no milk can be squeezed out. At
this time the lower leaves on the stalk
are turning yellow and the green corn
fodder contains 65 or 20 per cent of
moisture, which is sufficient for siIage.
Silage made from corn containing mois-
ture enough for proper preservation is
more palatable than that made from
corn so mature as to require the addi-
ton of water.

COOPERATIVE EGG MARKETING
Encouraged by Extension Workers and
Is Saving Money for Farmers of

Cooperative marketing of eggs.
which is being encouraged by eXten-

is saving money for farmers of Ne
braska. According to the extension
news service of the Nebraska college
of agriculture, six cents a dozen. or
a total of 1886, was the gain made by
farmers of Hamilton county by mar
keting their eggs comparatively dur

cRICKETs CUT GRAIN TWINE
Insect Is Reported in Great Numbers
and Doing Much Damage by
Loosening SheaVes.

A warning against the crickets
which chew the twine on grain sheaves
and thus cause loss of the grain is is
sued by Stewart Lockwood, extension
entomologist at the Agricultural col
lege of North Dakota, who says the
insect is being reported in great num-
bers throughout his section.
Use new sisal twine. if possible,
says Mr.. Lockwood. Otherwise, soak
the twine in a solution of one part
turpentine and one part pine tar. two
or three days before using.
