green result in sour silage and the
cattle eat sparingly Of it and in many
cases they scour and their digestion
is upset. Silage may be divided in
to two classes -sour silage and sweet
silage. These are the terms that are
used to describe the amount of acid
contained in the silage. Sour silage
results when silage is made from very
immature plants while the sweet ST.
lage is made by ensfloing the plants
when they are practically mature.
It is difficult to describe the exact
stage of maturity that corn should
reach before it is made into silage be-
cause of the many factors such as
early frosts, drouth, etc., that viii af-
feet the plant, but it is safe rule to
follow to put the crop in the silo rath-
er late instead of too early, even if
water must be added in order to pack
in firmly.
In feeding of silage, it should be
remembered that it is classed as a
roughage instead of a concentrate
food. Silage takes the place of hay
rather than thep lace of grain.
The value of silage is usually bas-
ed upon the valueof hay. 1t is esti-
mated that silage is worth about one
third the value of hay. That is, one
ton of mixed hay is equivalent to
about three tons of good corn silage
During the period of high priced
corn many farmers followed the prac.
tice of taking the ears off the stalk
and filling the silo with stalks alone
AS general rule this is not the best
management. The corn in the silo,
when everything is considered, is
worth just as much for feed as it is
when fed dry with the grain. AS a
matter of fact when we consider the
losses in food value in the entire
plant in the silo as compared with the
losses sustained in handling the corn
crop outside of the silo there is a
considerable value to be attached to
the silo. On farms where the maxi
mum number of live stock is kept at
all times it has been found that the
silo often pays for itself in single
season. This is usually true during
periods of shortage of food occasion
ed by a. severe drouth. 1t is the prac-
tice on many we'll regulated farms to
provide for greater silo capacity
than is need for any single feeding
season. This practice always insures
supply of feed during the periods
of short pasture in the summer
months and it is always possible tc
carry supply of food over from a
year of a bountiful harvest to q
year when the crops are not as plen-
tiful.
The value Of silage as a succulent
food can best be estimated by com.
pairing silage with other foods THAI
possess this property. Root crops
furnish succulence in ration and are
usually grown and used where silage
is not available. A comparison Cd

Four things must be borne in mind
by the farmer planning ito plant al-s
falfa this spring, according to the
Institute. alfalfa will not grow on
soil that is acid or sour. If test
proves that farmers soil is sour, an
application Of limestone or mari is es-
sential before it can be planted to
alfalfa. Poor drainage is another
thing that stands in the way ofNc-
cessful alfalfa growing. Thsls how
if good drainage does not 1aCsfbiay
exist on field, it should be drained
artifcially before planting. Alfalfa
starts best on clean, fertile, firm,
moist seed bed. incubation is very
important. It is a small job but pays
large dividends. incubation assures
a better stand, more healthy plants,
less winter killing and greater stor.
ing of nitrogen in the soil. incubation
may be accomplished by mixing the
seed with soil from a we'll establish
ed alfalfa field, or through the use
of commercial incubation, which may
be had from the state agricultural
college. But after the farmer has
taken care Of all these things, he
should not undo anything through
the use of any old seed. Probably
more failures with alfalfa are trace
able to the use of poor unadapted
seed than through any other single
cause. Grimm, Cossack, Baltic or
some other hardy northern-grown va
riety should be insisted on by the
farmer. Certified seed is even better,
inasmuch as it serves the same pur-
pose as pedigree on registered
animal"

Will Corn and Cob Meal Hold Its

University Farm the last three years
have shown corn and cob meal to be
superior grain feed for fattening
baby beef calves. Calves given full

corn or a mixture of shelled corn and
oats. The experiments seemed to

much more bulky feed than shelled
corn, and calves fed full feed of il
do not consume as many bushels OF
corn as do calves fed a full feed od

$25O.OOO Campaign.

Under the captaincy OF the recoS-

aries, Washington set out in earnest
this morning TO raise its quota or
S250.0 900 toward the purchase of the
Shenandoah National Park direct
from its greatest financial sources.
Following A meeting of the cam
palgn executive committee with Ro-
bert \. Harper at the Willard Hotel
Yesterday afternoon. it was announced
that team had been selected to can
Nass every business organization,
every civic orga nization and every
mercantile association within the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Charles J. Bell. chairman of the
bankers team, announced that to
start off the drive in his section ar
rangements had been made with the
controller of currency formally to au-
thorize every bank in Washington to
subscribe its share toward the park
fund and legally charge Ii to adver-
Using, such as was done during the
liberty loan drives.
Others Guarantee Aid.
y. J. Callahan and E. F. Saul said
they would make it their duty to see
that every individual and every firm
represented in the Rotary Club sub
scribed toward the park. so that the
RotarianS could announce they had
some over the top 100 per cent. and
challenge every kindred club in Wash.
tnGton to match that record.
simultaneously it was arranged to
appoint special committees to canvass
all business firms represented in the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation, the Chamber of Commerce,
the Board of Trade and kindred asso-
Citations. These committees pledged
themselves to make personal calls on.
these firms by the middle of next
week and obtain 100 per cent sub
scriptions toward the park.
The Hotel Mems Association met
yesterday and was addressed by Mr..
Harper and DR.. w. ]. Showalter. as
Sociate editor of the National Geo.
graphic Magazine. 1t was shown that
if the park is established and draws
only a minimum of tourists and each
hotel in Washington gets only three
automobile parties day from those
passing through Washington. every
hotel in Washington would take in
$4,000 a season for the Summer
months from the park trade.
View of Hotelkeepers.
The, hotel men admitted that the
q
. least three carloads of tourists
day from among the throngs that are
certain to pass through Washington
to and from the park would be a very
poor place, indeed. A committee was
appointed at the meeting to repre-
sent the hotel men and give that line
of business, which viii profit almost
Immediately from creation of the
pa"E. representation in the drive.
1t is pointed out on every hand that
the fate of the Shenandoah National
Park virtually rests in the hands Of
the business men and citizens of
Washington. If Washington obtains
its quota of $250.000 no doubt will
longer remain that whatever addi-
tional sum is needed to complete the
$500, 900 it is estimated the site of
the park will cost. can be raised else
where in the East. all of which will
benefit from the establishment OF
great national park within such close
proximity.
