GROUSE LIVES LIKE ESKIMO
In Geld Weather the Bird Finds a Safe and Warm Retreat
 in Snow House,

In the temperate months the grouse has an excellent choice of food con- Sistng of a great variety of berries, small fruit. seeds, buds, clover. beech nuts, graSShoppers and a multitude Of young, tender leaves. In the winter one wonders ut their survival, for now the fall flight Of the robins com pletely eNhausrs the berries, which were wont to finger and ripen well Into winter, compelling the grouse Go depend largely upon yellow birch buds, with many forced meal on an evergreen.
 Fortunately, whenever the tcmDera- ture Is far below zero the sky Is usu- ally clear and the grouse are active and unconCerned, but if the days and nights are dark and cold or the air filled with mercilnsS pellets they have the habit Of p,unEiuE into deep snow drifts, where a foot below the surface the heat and weight of the body form 8 globular retreat. In which they re main comfortably until the storm clears or hunger forces an exit
 Sometimes iu winter or rhe early spring there may come a rutn or a warm day that melts the surface snow followed by severe weather. and then thousands of grouse are imprisoned and the heretofore safe retreat be comes their tomb should weeks psss by before the seal Is h-0kcn.-Na- tionaI Geographic Magazine

The planting season is the time
when the dairy farmer should arrange
TO see that he has crops enough to I'LL
his silo. As a case in point, Missis-
sirpi farmer failed to take this matter
into consideration when he bought q
silo of 60 tons capacity, for he found
that he had corn and sorghum for
only 20 tons Of silage; and since, more
over, he had only 8 cows, he decided
he had made a mistake, and tried to
sell his new silo instead Of setting Ii
up. A field man from the dairy divi-
sion Of the United States Department
Of Agriculture however. persuaded
him to keep it until the next year, and
to put up small stave silo for imme-
diate use. He did So and found It
such help in feeding his cows cheap
ly that he bought more land and re-
solved to enlarge his herd to SO cows.
and thus make good use of his larger
silo. ~
Both the height and the diameter
Of the silo must be considered. The
proper diameter Of the silo depends
upon the quantity Of silage to be fed
daily; and this quantity will vary
with the size Of the herd. The silags
should be fed out fast enough to r.
move 1t from the top Of the silo at the
rate Of 1h to 3 inches q day, depend.
ing upon climatic conditions. The
warmer the weather the more silage
must be removed from the surface
