comparative ease and will save much labor. The rack consists of two by inch bed pieces, IS or 20 feet in length, bolted together at the end to form V. On top of these timbers is built a rack feet in width. The bottom of this rack is about feet long. The end boards are feet high, built faring so they do not quite touch the wheels.
 The apex of the V is suspended be- low the front axle of an ordinary farm wagon by means of a long kingbolt The other ends are at tached below the hind axle by U- shaped clevises. The materials needed in it's construction are 80 board feet of by inch plank, 96 feet of boards 1 by 12 inches, 22 feet of lumber by inches, one long kingbolt, two stirrup rods, and bolts and nails.
 If the silage cutter and lifting ma chin""y have not been selected, every effort should be made to get machinery which has sufficient or excess capacity. The miS take IS often made of getting an outfit that is too small, thus making the operation of filling the silo very slow and inter fering with the continuous employ ment of the entire force of men. A number of satisfactory silage cutters are on the market The chief fea- lures to be considered in a cutter are that it is strongly made and will cut fine.
 Opinions differ as to the fineness to which silage should be cut. The length varies from 4 to 1 inch. The latter is a little too long, as the pieces do not pack so closely in the silo, and they are not so completely consumed in feeding as the shorter lengths. On the other hand, the longer the pieces the more rapidly the corn can be run through the cutter. Fine cutting and thorough tramping are needed if it is desired to make the best quality of silage and fill the silo to its greatest capacity.
 Two types of elevators are in use, the old-style chain carrier and the blower. The chain carrier requires less power but is harder to set up and makes more litter, especially in windy weather, though some chain carriers are so inclosed as to keep the corn from blowing out. In using the blower type the blower should be placed as nearly perpendicular as possible.
 Harvest Corn Before Fully Ripe
 Ordinarily, corn should be har- vested for the silo about a week or 10 days before it would be cut for
