Silage Spoilage
Easy to Prevent
Doors Should Be Fitted to
Make Sure They Are
Securely Alright.

Much silage Is wasted each year py
moldlng or rottlng. The presence Of
air Is the cause OF both.
Where wood-stave sIlos are In use the
hoops should be frightened. the inside
of the silo coated with creosote. and
the outside painted. advises the New
Jersey State College of Agriculture at
New Brunswick. The doors should be
examined and fitted to make sure that
they are alright. for they sometimes
fall apart during the summer because
Of drying out.
spoIIase Traced to Air.
Where a silo is alright and the silage
continues to spoil 1t can still be traced
to air that has not been excluded al
filling time by sufficient tramping. II
silage is cut too creep, the possibilities
are strong that there will be some rot
ting. If 1t Is cut too dry. molding is
probable because air cannot be ex-
cluded unless the silage is wet.
The proper stage for cutting the corn
is after the kernel is dented, but before
the milk dries up. If, for some unayold-
able reason, the corn does get too dry
before putting 1t into the silo, IL is adj
visable to put a water hose inside OF
the blower, and In that way moisten
the fodder.
A lack Of sufficient tramping around
the walls during filling is also COM
mon cause Of molding. Many dairy
men attempt to economic by placing
only one man in the silo when 1t is be-
ing filed. This is poor economy, as
one man cannot keep the silage level
and tramp it sufficiently. Thorough
tramping, especially around the walls,
will save much labor and useless waste
next winter.
Spelling on Top.
Some spelling on top must be expect
ed at first. A good method is to I'LL the
last six or twelve inches with either
weeds or dry fodder soaked with wa
ter. If nothing else is available, It is
well to take off the ears and use mere
~ the fodder on top, as 1t will spoil
anyway. Unless this fodder is very
green, water should be added through
the blower. Some have found that oats,
rye or wheat sown on top will sprout
and thus form desirable alright mat.

Cut Egg Crop Short

Overheated poultry houses hasten
the mott and therefore cut the egg
crop short. Rear ventilators over the
roosts are essential for comfort. All
doors and windows and ventiletors
should be kept open as much as pos
sible. Summer drafts do not injure
hens. Good egg production can be
maintained by supplying. in addition
to the grain, green succulent feed, as
for example: Alfalfa pasture. finely
chopped sudan grass or rape ana a
mash moistened with water or miik.

Had Overlooked Something

Mrs. Newlywed was good cook and
housekeeper and very proud of her
home. One day her husband went
hunting and brought home wild duck.
She determined to excel all previous
cooking and consulted cookbook. She
read: "Cook duck 20 minutes" So
she prepared It and baked It In the
oven for 20 minutes, placed 1t on the
table with the rest of her dinner and
called hubby to the feast. The bird
was raw. She looked again in the
book and read: Cook duck 20 min

Handle Fruit in Hurry
During Harvesting Time

'Handle fruit~1h a hurry" says @.
W. Peck of the New York State College
Of Agriculture at Ithaca.
"Have everything ready when pick
ing begins. Delays in harvesting and
packing are costly. To maintain its
best quality and market value. fruit
should be packed and shipped or
stored as soon as possible after pick
ing.
This applies particularly to peaches,
pears, and early apples, and to any
fruit harvested during comparatively
hot weather.
with cold storage fruit, days de-
lay In storing means a weeks loss
from the time possible to keep it In
storage. Leaving it In the packing
house or orchard for three or four
days after 1t is picked, means that
three or four weeks will be cut from
the maximum storage period.
slave packing tables, sizing ma
chimes, picking bags, orchard contain
ers. ladders, and everything needed in
good repair before 1t is wanted. Even
the ruts and rough places in the road
ways through the orchards may well
be given some attention to help keep
the fruit from being bruised on the
way to the packing room.
Hire dependable pickers after esti-
mating how many will handily care
for the crop, and have in convenient
places the necessary supplies Of bar
rels, baskets, corrugated caps, nails.
stencils, hatchets, and the like. Get
ting all these things ready can well

Cream in Hot Weather

During the hot weather 1t Is hard to
deliver good cream. The essentials
for producing high-grade cream are to
keep 1t clean by having clean cows,
clean buckets and clean cans, and to
keep 1t cold. With good cellar. run
ming water or cooling tank this can be
accomplished. Deliver cream often
and it will have less opportunity to
get too sour. Good butter cannot be
made from poor cream and many
creameries are beginning to pay q
premium for first-grade cream.

Excuses Plausible
but Not Convincing

Lord Allenby was speaking about

seems to be justified IN what he does,
according to his own plausible argu-

chilled the world with horror do not
seem SO bad as explained by the willy

''That is--they do not seem so bad
