NO SILO AVAILABLE,
MAKE STACK SILAGE

Andrew Boss, vice director of
the Minnesota Experiment sta
tion, says that farmers without
silos can preserve green and inn
mature corn by the stack method
of making silage.
C. L. McNelly, a Minnesota
county agent, has made stack
silage for four seasons on his
farm at Mcintosh, Mimi, and re-
commends it in preference to
bundle fodder corn. He makes
the stack about 20 feet in dia-
meter and 20 feet high, keeping
the center lower than the outside
until the top is reached when it
should be filled full. The bun
dies must be distributed evenly
over the surface with the butts
laid to the outside.
During the winter the top of
the stack is kept covered with a
foot or two of wild hay which
can be thrown back as the silage
is taken off. In order to prevent
extreme freezing this covering
should be replaced after the days
feed has been thrown down.
Corn preserved in this way will
rot in for about eight inches on
outside of the stack, but as the
butts of the stalks only are af-

patrons as one of the finest pic
lures of the season. Marion Davies
reaches new acting heights in this

For magnitude, for dramatic
sweep, for sheer splendor and mag
nifieence of settings and costumes,
it surpasses anything heretofore ac.

authorities on the period of the Am
erican Revolution have pronounced
it the most authentic picture of its
kind ever produced. 1t is from
the famous novel by Paul Leicester
