Finally Got Thot
Longed-For Laugh

Until recently 1t had been 10 years
since I'd enjoyed a real, hearty
laugh, one that made the tears come
to my eyes and an actually hurtful
pain rack the region of my stom-
ach," declared a salesman in a down
town hotel lobby. I'D been search
ing long time for a joke or an incl
dent funny enough to produce laugh
of that kind, but my quest seemed fu-
tile until | sat in serious card game
in the parlor of a friends home, and
my partner, after playing a bid OF
three no trump and being off four
tricks, jumped up and hit his head
on the frame of q little window we
had opened TO let the night air In.
Hardly a ludicrous incident, l know,
but it tickled my risibilities so health
lily that l finally enjoyed one of
the laughs I'd been searching for all
these years. And I'm now convinced
that no adult laughs heartily after a
joke or an amusing incident. He
laughs at the discomfort or pain of
others. Funny folks, are we notT-

To Make Silage Out
of Soft Corn Crop
Chop Fine and Pack Tightly
Is Plan Urged.

There is a lack of silo room in many
places for the whole corn crop should
1t be frosted or immature. Because
the ears are the most valuable part
they should be saved in any event. 1t
is difficult to save the ears of a soft
corn crop by storage in cribs. In 1917
the Iowa experiment station demon
strated that soft ears in the late roast
ing stage could be husked, run
through a silage cutter, and tightly
packed into silos with very good re-
suits. The silage resulting after II
days of fermentation was of surpris-
lngly good quality and held its flavor
so well that at the end of two months
1t was in excellent feeding condition.
Silage can be made in ten or twelve
days and will probably be ready to
feed two weeks after filing.
ut is not necessary TO husk the
corn in order to make soft-ear silage,"
says Andrew Boss of University Farm,
st. Paul, Mimi. Snapped corn can
he handled just as satisfactorily as
the husked corn and the husks give
the advantage of greater bulk and adj
ditional feed
''The Iowa station urges chopping
the corn finely in making ear-corn ST.
lage and packing it tightly in the silo
by tramping, especially near the walls.
Silage made from ears that are par
TALLY matured may require the add
ton of water to insure proper packing
and prevent oyerheating and holding
in the Safeguarding process. Silage
made from ear corn should be covered
with layer of finely cut corn fodder
or slower. If such a cover is not pro-
vided there will be too much waste
Of valuable corn. 1t Is not advisable
to make silage Of mature or nearly
mature corn The cobs prevent pack
ing and they do not contain sufficient
sugar to permit the fermentation
which is necessary for preservation.
Ear corn silage should be fed as a
concentrate, not as roughage."

Bees in Orchard
Most Profitable
Under Modern Methods of
Handling Insects Are
Not Bothersome.

Orchardists think kindly of the low
" honey bee. There Is very COM
mon saying among experienced or
chardists which sums the matter up
in a few words. 1t is: "No bees, no
fruit The failure of orchards in
certain parts of the country, the in
different fruiting which Is often
blamed on the season, might very of
ten be traced to the absence OF bees.
1t does not make much difference, so
far as the orchard is concerned,
whether it is tame bees or wild bees
that perform natures method of fer
tilization of the bloom. 1t does, how
ever, make some difference to the or
chard owner in that tame bees will
give him a yield of honey and sure
polarization without the consumption
Of extra ground. The same land can
be made to yield two crops just as
well as one.
Orchard Failures.
The discontinuance of the keeping
Of tame bees on many farms and the
additional destruction and disappear
ance of the wild bees in the surround
ing woods have all had their hand
in the so-called failure of orchards"
Bees are one of the most profitable
side lines which the farmer can carry.
He can well afford to consider their
possibilities, not only for their own
sake but for the sake Of the orchard.
F., Under modern methods of handling
bees, they are not half the bother and
the trouble that they used to be.
Swarming, the old-time bugaboo Of
the beekeeper, has been practically
eliminated, because we have learned
its cause and by practicing precau-
tionary methods, by getting ready in
advance for the "fun," bees can be
hived In very few minutes. Indeed,
beekeepers now have ways of prevent
ing swarming if they so desire.
Modern Appliances.
Modern appliances such as hives,
supers and the uniform pound frames
all aid in encouraging the modern bee
to produce more than his earlier an
cestors did. Ten to twenty pounds per
hive used 10 be a fair average pro-
duction for one season; now it is not
uncommon for Iowa beekeepers to re-
ceive as much as 200 pounds of honey
from one hive in a favorable season.
An average of 40 to so pounds can be
had from each hive under ordinary
conditions per season, so Iowa bee
keepers report.
The finest quality honey comes from
white clover, alsike clover and sweet
clover. 1t is clear and golden. Buck
wheat is often desirable late feeding
ground for bees, but it falls short of
premium prices on the market because
it is darker in color and little ranker
In flavor.

Soy Beans Produce Best
Hay When Planted Thick

Thickly planted soy beans produce
hay of greater feeding value than
those that are thinly planted, accord
ing to preliminary results of tests
which are being made by the college
of agriculture, University of Illinois.
Soys seeded with a wheat drill at the
rate of one and a fourth bushels an
acre yielded hay with fine stems, only
six per cent of which was refused by
dairy cows. In contrast to this, beans
that were seeded thinner produced
coarser hay, larger proportion of the
stems being left uneaten. The plot
seeded at the rate of about half
bushel an acre produced very coarse
hay, 16 per cent Of which was refused,
according to DR.. w. B. Nevens, assist
ant chief of dairy cattle feeding at the
college. The difference in the feeding
value of the fine stemmed hay as COM
pared with the coarse hay. therefore
was about II per cent, or about 24O
pounds for each ton of hay fed.
For one thing the thinly seeded
plots contained more weeds, an i'm
portant factor affecting the quality of
hay.
Larger plots of soy beans are being
grown in the test with the object of
making further studies of the effect
of rate of planting on the quality of
hay.

Different Kinds Of Food
When Hen Is Confined

When the hen is confined to the poul-
try house and its immediate surround
lhgs, perhaps small yard, the only
way that she can make eggs is to re-
ceive from the caretaker the various
different kinds of food that she would
obtain on free range in summer, or
their equivalents On most farms there
is reasonably good variety of grains,
including corn. wheat, oats and bar
ley, and these form sufficient variety
so far as they are concerned In adj
dition there should be ground grains,
including wheat, bran and cornmeal, to
use in dry or damp mashes. To take
the place Of the bugs and worms of the
summer season beef scraps. such as
are furnished by dealers in poultry
supplies, or cut fresh bone Should be
given.

and in most cases limestone is being
applied to the soil in preparation for
the clover.
The average cost of the corn crop

Grimm alfalfa is generally recognized
as harder and superior to most COM

be cut when the pods are vet slightly
green and the beans beginning to get
hard.

CLEANLINESS WITH
MILK is ESSENTIAL

In order to prevent the contamina-
ton of milk and cream with foreign
odors and flavOrs IL Is necessary to
start with the milking operation. The
successful producer of good-quality
cream develops a system of handling
the dairy herd and cream, and each
operation In this system is carried out
to the letter at every milking. The
following way to produce clean milk
is suggested:
The COW must be healthful, free
from tuberculosis and udder dis
eases.
She must be kept In clean sur
roundings.
The dairy barn should be so con-
structed that 1t can be thoroughly
cleaned.
The manure should be removed at
least once each day, and it should be
carried to the fields direct or to
manure pit some distance from the
barn.
The COW should be groomed before
each milking in order to prevent any
loose hair, manure, or foreign mate
rial from falling into the milk pail at
milking time.
The udder should be washed with
clean water and dried before milking
begins.
The mixer should wear clean cloth
ing and should wash his hands thor
oughly With soap before starting to
milk.
Milking should be done with dry
hands. The habit Of wet-hand milk
ing does not make 1t easier and GER
tainly is a filthy habit.
Milking should be done in small
top pail, which will greatly reduce
the possibility of foreign material get
ting into the milk at milking time.
AS soon as each cow is MIXED, the
milk should be carried to the milk
room, where 1t should be weighed and
strained through a suitable cloth
strainer. The ordinary wire strainer
is not effective in removing dirt
from milk. A strainer using two or
more thicknesses of filter cloth is
much more efficient. The strainer
cloth used should be clean and ster-
ilized with live steam.
Milk as 1t comes from the cows
udder is free from dirt. Any hair,
bedding, particles of manure or dust
that are subsequently found in the
milk come from careless milking prac-
tice, dirty cows or careless handling
of the milk after it is produced. This
foreign matter when once 1t gains
entrance into milk carries quantities
of bacteria and many taints and bad
odors which cannot be removed. The
only method to use to prevent such
effects is to produce the milk clean,
keep it or the cream produced from
1t clean, cool Immediately. and thor
oughly, then keep COOL Any foreign
matter that may get into the milk,
and it is fact that some will even
with skillful handling, should be
strained out Immediately 10 prevent as
many Of the bad effects as possible.

Electrical Discharges
Cause Souring of Milk?

Do you believe that thunderstorms
cause milk to sour? 1t is generally
believed they do. The souring of the
milk is generally attributed to the cleo
trical action between clouds, which is
responsible for the lightning associa-
ted with thunderstorms.
There is no relationship between
these electrical discharges and the
souring of milk. Some authorities re-
port that electricity will destroy bac-
terra or retard their growth. In such
cases electrical action would cause the
milk to keep longer.
Souring of milk is caused by a
growth of bacteria which feed upon
the milk sugar and convert it into an
acid when the milk is held at warm
temperature. The acid sours the milk.
1t is believed that the temperature
conditions Immediately preceding a
thunderstorm cause the souring Of
milk. Thunderstorms usually follow
a period of hot, humid weather. The
heat and humidity cause the refrigera-
tors, cellars and cooling tanks to
warm up. The milk Is also warmed
up, stimulating rapid growth of bac-
terra, which really causes the milk to
sour.-E. II. Parfitt, Purdue Univer-
sity.

Starting Team With Big
Load Is Not Difficult

To the driver who would start his
heavily loaded team here is a bit of
excellent advice from the Horse Asso-
citation of America:
The driver must hold his lines taut.
Experience has shown that nearly all
drivers get excited and push on the
lines, thereby virtually turning the
horses loose at the very moment that
they need to be steadied by moder-
ate pressure on the bit.
Whipping is worse than useless.
The experience of practical teamsters
proves conclusively that no pair of
horses can or will exert their best
efforts when fearful that they are
about to be whipped. Fear interferes
with the deliberate, careful placing Of
feet and legs.
