her brother said that no one could
touch the moon even though it seemed
to be right on top of the hill, and even
though it looked as though if one went

Fairly Good Silage Can
Be Made Out Of Alfalfa

Because of the abundance of protein
in alfalfa and the shortage Of sugars
and starches, it is hard to make really
first-class alfalfa silage. At the Mis-
souri, station. however, they found that
if care was taken. fairly good grade
of silage could be made out Of alfalfa
The important thing was to let the al
falfa dry enough so that ut the time
of putting 1t into the silo 1t contained
80 to As per cent Of dry matter. When
it contains more water than this, 1t
seems to make sloppy, fcul-smellsng
silage. The best plan seems to be to
let the crop lie in the swath for few
hours after moving until it is well
wilted. but not dry.

for the animal. Wayne refused to sell
him, since he had set his mind upon
fitting him for the supreme show at
Chicago the first week in December.
Wayne has been in the boys club
work for six years and has been Il
consistent winner at the Muscatine
county fair. This year his entry won
over So head at West Liberty and was
sent on to Des MOines to compete for

In addition to the prize money which

imal was of excellent ancestry, those
who know the boy state that his sue
cess was due to the care and feeding
which were given to his pet. When
started on feed December Goth, the
steer weighed 400 pounds, and on Au-
gust 9th he had exactly doubled his
weight, balancing the beam at $50
pounds. This gain was put on at a
cost Of 1-3 cents per pound, and at
the rate of 2.12 pounds per day.
Wayne attributes much Of his sue
cess to the inspiration which he re-
ceived at Chicago while attending the
International Live Stock exposition
last December. Within two weeks af-
ter returning home he started his calf
on feed, and all during the succeeding
months the high standard of the an
finals he saw at Chicago was kept con-

Good Silage Serves as
Substitute for Pasture

Feeding trials at the Kansas agricul.
tural experiment station at Manhattan
indicate that the silo is a money
maker wherever eight head of cows
are MIXED. Good silage serves as a
substitute for pasture during fall, win
ter and early spring. Silage can be
profitably fed to dairy cows in Kansas
nine months Of the year.
There is prevalent idea among
farmers that it does not pay to put a
good corn crop in the silo. AS mat
ter of fact, the better the corn yield
the better will be the silage and the
greater the amount of foliage which
may be fully utilized.

Corn for Silage Must Be
Cut Fine and Tramped

Corn for silage must be cut fine and
tranped well into the silo, if it is de-
sired to make the best quality of feed
and fill the silo to its greatest capac-
ity, says the Department of Agricul-
ture. The usual length of cutting
varies from one-fourth of an inch to
one inch, but the latter is little too
long, as the pieces do not pack so
readily in the silo, and they are not so
completely consumed in feeding as the
shorter lengths.
