Silage Is Favored by Cattle Feeders

calitles on the extreme edge of the
corn belt, such as western Kansas and
Nebraska and western and northern
South Dakota. A greater use of sllage
depends largely upon the supply and
value Of other roughage.
The main facts about the use Of
silage In fattening cattle are thus sum-
married. by the department; The
greater the proportion of sllage to
corn the cheaper the gains. The
greater the quantity of corn the less
silage consumed. Silage will net fatten
cattle unless ACCOMPANIED by concen-
trates. In silagc most of the cornstalk
Is used. Cattle fed on silage will eat
more straw or slower. If purchased
protein feeds are added to the feed,
the resultant manure Ia richer. Silage-
fed cattle do not finish quite as well as
those strictly dry-fed. Adding corn to
the silage produces a better finished
animal that usually brings better
price, and It also results In better
gains on hogs that follow the cattle.
Silage-fed cattle shrink more than
those fattened without siiage.

WHAT THE CHILDREN WANTED
One Mlaht Think II Was Not Alto
aether Miss Willet's Golden Voice
That Entranced Them.

An entertainment was being given in
The village school. When the program
was half over the faces Of the sehol-
ars shone with agreeable anticipation,
for the next item was to be vocal
solo by Miss Willet, who on many oc-
casions had delighted the school with
her singing.
Finally the chairman made the an
nouncement: II am very sorry to say,
children, that Miss Willet has con.
tracted cold and will be unable to
sing. She is willing, however, to re-
cite poem instead IL you wish to
hear 1t. Do your

said the boy, "if Miss Willet don't
mind, we'd rather have her get up an
try to sing; and If her throat's too
sore to make noise she can make
her funny faces while the pianner
plays the tune."-London Tit-Bits.

Disposition Of
Surplus Seeds

men are eager to buy seeds as soon
after thrashlng as possible, especially
II the carryover OF that particular seed
from previous years Is less than
normal.
Most large seedsmen buy the bulk OF
their grass and clover seed before Feb
Iuary and make purchases after that
to fill open orders or to replenish low
stocks. Frequently higher prices may
be received after February l, but the
grower runs considerable risk In not
being able to dispose Of his seed to
seedsmen as late as that, and con-
sequently Of being compelled to carry
1t over until the next planting season
or to sell 1t to some scotsman who Is
willing to speculate on 1t at price
usually considerably below current
prices.
BY keeping in touch with the
published seed market information for
the entire country and not focusing all
of his attention on local conditions
which may be just the opposite from
those prevailing elsewhere, the farmer
can determine pretty well for himself
when 1t Is advisable to sell his seed.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricuitore.)
It has not been many years since
corn silage was considered merely as a
feed suitable chiefly for dairy cows,
but 1t has rapidly attained d wide use
among beef producers In the corn belt.
Now all feeding that is not done on
pasture may be divided into two
classes--that IN which silage Ia fed
and that Ia which 1t Is not fed As a
whole the two classes are now about
equally divided, but in some states the
difference is very marked. Surveys by
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture covering the last two winters
showed that S3 per cent Of 1856 cattle
fed in Indiana received silage In their
rations, 81 per cent Of 1880 In Illinois,
so per cent of $3.50 In Iowa, 5 per cent
Of CLIO In Nebraska, and 30 per cent
OF 1884 In Missouri.
Where silage Is used It supplies most
Of the roughage. Nearly all the silage
Ia made from corn, probably 90 per
cent Of the total. Sorghum. sunfiowers
and iegumes are sometimes used In To-

heavy cream slightly sour, whip and
when nearly stiff add five tablespoon
fuis of grape juice and few grains
of salt. Use with any fruit salad, but
Is particularly good with canned
pears, celery and lettuce which has
been dipped in French dressing.
Grape Juice Frostine.--Put three
tablespoonfuls of grape Juice in pint
bowl and stir In confectioner's sugar
till the mixture Is thick enough to
spread. From one TO one and one
half cupfuls of sugar will be sufficient.
Grape Juice Tapioea.-Take two and
one-half cupfuis of water, one-cupful
of grape Juice, one-third of a teaspoon
full of salt and three-fourths of tea
spoonful sugar and bring to the boil
Ing point. Stir in two-thirds of cup
full Of tapioca and one-third Of tea
spoonful of ground cloves, or few
drops Of Glove extract. Cook gently
until the tapioca is clear, stirring
occasionally, then add the juice of one
lemon. Chill. and serve with sliced
bananas or whipped cream with grape
juice.
During the winter when the fresh
grapes are not obtainable. or are too
expensive, we need the acids and
mineral salts found In the grape Juice
to counterfeit the hearty foods needed
FOR heat.

FACTS ABOUT RUST OF GRAIN
Extensive Studies Have Been Made In
Greenhouse at Purdue University
indiana.

investigations of the leaf rust OF
grains and grasses are being made by
the United States Department OF Agri
culture In cooperation with the Pur-
due university agricultural expert
ment station. These studies consist
principally of experiments to deter
mine the relationships Of the leaf rust
of wheat, rye, and barley, the deter
mInation Of possible biologic forms OF
these rusts, the study of wide range
of plants as possible secondary hosts
and cultural studies of the leaf rust
of wheat to determine what grasses
may serve as hosts for this rust.
Extensive studies have been made 10
the greenhouse at La Fayette. Ind,
where rust spores collected from nu'
merous species Of grasses have been
sown on various plants which possibly
may act as secondary hosts. The ex'
Istence Of biologic forms OF leaf rust
of wheat has been discovered, and IT
Ia now known that these forms have
wide range of grass hosts.
In addition to the greenhouse studies.
more than 200 wheat varieties and
selections were sown In Tennessee,
Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin, and
several varieties resistant to leaf rust
are being grown at number of sta
lions in the southeastern states. Prog
ress is being made in the breeding
of wheat for resistance to leaf rust,
and 1t has been demonstrated that
the high-yielding, hard red winter
wheat, Kanred, which is resistant to
stem rust, Is also resistant to leaf rust.

naires sent out by the bureau Of
markets and crop estimates, United
States Department Of Agriculture, g.
400 growers scattered throughout the
country submitted data showing that
the farmer sells most Of his seed to
neighbors. A considerable quantity,
though, is sold to the local shipper.
Distant seedsmen by means Of their
travelling buyers and correspondence
also buy large quantities of seed direct
from farmers.
Seed Grown, on Contract.
Although probably most of the vege-
table seeds are produced on advance
growing contracts entered into between
large commercial vegetable-seed dealers
and farmers located in more or less
we'll defined areas. only q small per
centage Of field seed Is disposed OF by
farmers In this way.
Some farmers obtain good results by
advertising In nearby county news
papers and in agricultural periodicals
which circulate in sections of the
country that consume relatively large
quantities of the kind of seed offered
for sale.
Various federal and state publica-
tlons and, within recent months, county
newspapers and agricultural periodicals
publish current information relative tc
the supply, demand, movement, ant
prices Of the important kinds of field
seeds when the principal movement OF
each kind from the farm is taking

this information has Il better under
