Condition of Silo and
Silage Very Important

The care used in placing the corn or
sorghum that was grown this summer
In the silo will determine the food
value of the silage, says J. p. La
Master, chief of the dairy division at
Clemson college.
Before starting to fill the silo it
Is very important to see thai all the
hoops are in place, all bad joints or
cracks have been sealed, and also that
doors fit smoothly and tight. In order
to insure a perfect fit of the doors it is
advisable to have available a roll Of
cheap roofing paper to be run up on
the door facing on the inside and
thus insure the doors being alright.
The next important step to deter
mine Is the stage of maturity of the
silage crop. The total mount of dry
matter and food nutrient in the silage
crop increases until the time of ma
turity. Therefore, 1t is important not
to cut the silage crop too green, thus
losing considerable food value and also
producing an acid silage which is not
palatable- The stage of maturity at
corn is ready for the silo is
the grains are dented and glazed
and the bottom leaves have turned
brown. There is then usually some
brown on the shucks of the corn also.

Moisture in Silage Is
One Important Requisite

1t is essential that there should be
sufficient moisture present in fodder at
h time 1t Is being placed in the silo
to provide the water requirement for
the ensiling process and leave the sur
plus necessary to have amply moist,
well-made silage after the fermenta-
tive and cooling processes have taken
place. With sufficient moisture pres
ent in the ensiled mass there Is little
danger of the fermentation tempera-
lures running too high. Corn In the
glazed stage, or dried put through
freezing or long delays in harvesting
viii require liberal wetting. The short
age in plant juices can be made up by
the application of water in quantity
sufficient to thoroughly wet the cut
fodder. Water is best applied by run-
ming a small stream directly into the
cutter while the fodder is be-
ing passed through aud blown up into
the silo. With water under pressure,
a valve to control the flow and a sec
ton of garden hose, the process of
wetting the cut fodder is easy.-L.

lege.

Silage Should Be Used
in Liberal Quantities

Present indications point to high
grain and forage this fall and winter.
Corn is mounting and with a short
hay crop in many sections, we can
look for high-priced forage. This
means II will be necessary to practice
economy in feeding. The live stock
keeper, as a rule. loses or gains ac-
cording to his knowledge and method
of feeding.
Silage is the best substitute for both
hay and pasture and it should be
used to the limit. The cheapest forage
IS in the form of silage and as it is
a bulky ration II should be grown on
the farm and supplied in liberal guam
titles.
Silage will lower the cost Of the ra-.
ton, make sure a pl oft from the live
stock and greatly increase the value
of the crops. AS a rule. a siIo will pay
itself the first year. What other
farm investment will pay 100 per cent?
Competition now demands economical

Lightning Rods
Gain in Favor
Weather Bureau Has Been
Earnest Advocate of Pro-
lection of Buildings.

prepared By the United States Department
of Agricultural
For more than thirty years the
weather bureau of the United States
Department of Agriculture has been
an earnest advocate of h protection
Of buildings and other property
against lightning by suitable rodding.
The bureau is frequently called upon
to advise inquirers concerning the
proper methods and materials to be
employed. Occasionally plans are
drawn up In detail for the protection
OF government structures. In 1910
the White House was rodded after
plans and specifications prepared by
Professor Marvin.
Study Of Losses.
To determine the relative liability
of farm buildings to fire damage by
lightning. a study of lightning fire
losses was made recently by the
weather bureau of the United States
Department of Agriculture. The ay-
erage annual loss for the whole
United States is a little over $4,000
600 which is probably a conservative
figure. Illinois has the %unenviabIe
first place, with an average annual
loss of over a million dollars, part of
which may be attributed to Industrial
Texas is next in order be-
cause of its large area and the pres
ence of highly infiammable oil-storage
tanks. New York is third, for reasons
to those affecting Illinois.
Losses in North.
In the highly developed agricul-
tural states of the North heavy losses
are suffered, especially through de-
structive cyclonic thunderstorms. If

liability of farm buildings to damage

With another having equally destruc-
I've and frequent thunderstorms it is
luite probable that protection against
lightning is more general in the form
n state. Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
lesota and Iowa are states where It
$ estimated that somewhat more than
lalf of the farm buildings are pro-
ected by rodding.

Green Corn Bad for Hogs

Avoid feeding green corn t. hogs.
IT gives them Indigestion. Green corn
when fed to hogs will lower their re-
sistance and make them susceptible to
hog cholera. Many persons believe
that green corn is a direct cause Of
hog cholera. This is impossible since
the disease is caused by a virus. The
connection between green corn and
hog cholera is a coincidence because
hog cholera is more widespread at
this time of the year, but green corn
is a factor.

1t isn't the total production, but the

Don't blame 1t all on the COW. May

1t has been found that a few con-
structive breeders can do more than
