Farmers Should Plan to
Save Surplus Roughage

In time of plenty prepare for lean
years. This is suggestion offered
by Prof. J. B. Fitch, head Of the Kan
sas college dairy department, to
farmers while they are preparing to
harvest huge crops of corn, hay and
feed.
There is a lot. of surplus feed or
roughage this year as a result of a
very provident season, the dairy head
reminds, and the far-seeing farmer
will preserve as much of it as pos
sible for future years. Farmers nat
urally turn to the silo as the best
means of conserving the most feed
for an indefinite time And to the
farmer who has not yet built a silo,
the question arises, which type of
silo shall l build?
''In storing feed silo built above
the ground is to be preferred" Pro-
fessor Fitch declared. "But pit and
trench silos are inexpensive, easily
built with home labor, and they have
proven satisfactory in parts of the
state where drainage is not a serious
problem. Farmers who want informa-
ton on building siios should see their
county agent or write to the Kansas
State Agricultural college,"

Modern Machinery Calls
for ADEQUATE Housine

Modern farming calls for great
variety of modern machinery. The
equipment runs well toward $1,000
for the average farm of the United
States. That means that the value
of farm machinery runs much higher
in the corn belt states. Taking the
average value at only $3.50 per farm
for the entire country, it means for
the 100000 farms an investment of
$4,500,000,000. 1t is such a stupendous
sum that the mind cannot compre.
bend it. At six per cent, the interest
on this gigantic sum amounts to
$270000,000.
Bringing this to the individual
farm we find that the interest charge
is nearly $50 per year, and on most
of our farms it is much more. Ma
chine manufacturers tell us that we
could easily reduce the cost of our
machinery bills by One-half How?
By proper care. And the most i'm
portant item in the care of machinery
is housing.

Hogging Off Corn Best
Method of Harvesting

Tests made at the South Dakota
State college indicate that hogging
off corn is profitable method of har-
resting the corn crop even In normal
:rop years and in dry seasons much
corn which would hardly be worth
picking can be harvested in this man.
ger with little trouble.
Before turning the hogs into the
Geld, according to the department. of
animal husbandry at state college,
especially if they have been getting a
limited grain ration, it is advisable
to feed new corn in the lot for few
days. This will help to prevent them
going off feed, due to consuming a
,arge amount of new corn, just after
they are turned into the field.
Experience at state college indl-
Gates that hogs having the run Of the
cornfeld will make just as good gains
as hogs fattened in the feedlot. Pigs
of so to 100 pounds are best for hog
ging off corn inasmuch as they are
peter rustlers than heavier hogs.
Pigs of this weight are also large
enough to clean up the field in bet
ter shape than pigs of lighter weight.

Hawks and Owls
Destroy Rodents
Many Have Proved Useful
in Killing Mice. Rats
and Gophers.

To learn exactly to what extent cer-
tain birds are aids to agriculture and
to determine whether their good quail
ties overbalance the evil they do, the
biological survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture has for
many years been making scientific
studies of their food habits. All that
can be learned out of doors by watch
Ing the birds is valuable, but the sure
way of finding out what bird eats
is to examine the contents of its
stomach to identify what is found.
Utility of Bird Is Estimated.
W. L. McAtee, biologist in the bu-
reau, describes the method of exam
lining the stomach content of a bird
1T consists of washing all material
into white-lined tray, separating the
larger particles ron white blotters,
catching the more finely ground food
on boiling cloth, transferring this
to blotters, and finally identifying the
component parts of the whole under
n microscope. Identification is faciIi-
tated by comparison with collections
of seeds, fruit, insects, snails and
bones of birds, mammals, reptiles and
amphibians; in fact, of all classes of
objects eaten by birds. A card pre-
pared for each stomach contains full
inventory Of food items and their rela-
tive percentages by bulk, and when
a sufficient number of these index
cards have been accumulated for any
species of bird the percentages of the
principal items of food for each month
are calculated, and the average for
the season or year is taken. These
are the figures quoted in official re-
ports on the food of birds. From the
percentages and the economic value
of the food items the utility of the
bird can be closely estimated"
Injurious Owls and Hawks.
1t is on the basis of such informa-
ton that the biological survey has
been able to combat prejudices against
certain birds, such as hawks and owls.
The sharp-shinned, Cooper and duck
hawks feed largely on birds and are
injurious. The great horned owl gets
only poultry that is improperly ex-
posed at night, but is otherwise bene-
.cial. The remaining species of hawks
and owls, more than fifty in all, have
chiefly useful habits. They feed on
a great variety of rodents and have n
tremendous effect in controlling the
number of these pests. The barn owl
is one of the most useful of birds.
Large percentages of mice, rats and
pocket gophers are noted on the feed
ing cards, showing that the barn owl
is constantly doing work of great
value to agriculture. Owls as a group
have long been prosecuted by man, but
never has persecution been more I'M
just. When their numbers are greatly
reduced in any community farmers
will be forcibly reminded of the fact
by a great increase in the number of
destructive rodents.

Storing Vegetables in
Cellar or Burning Them

Beets, turnips, carrots, satisfy, and
rutabagas can be stored by burying
them in the soil or by placing damp
earth around them in cool, frost.
proof cellar. Cellar storage serves to
keep the roots in a crisp and tender
condition if a cool temperature can
be maintained
To store roots in this way, some
convenient container of about the
capacity of an apple box is necessary.
The vegetables should be pulled late
in the fall, topped about an inch from
the crown. and packed in the con-
tainer in layers of garden soil or
sand.
These root crops may also be stored
in the field where they are grown. A
well-drained location should be chosen
and about three inches of straw put
on the ground. The roots are then
piled on the straw in cone-shaped
pile. The heap is covered with two
or three inches of straw with the
center drawn together to a height of
about foot above the top roots and
tied together to form a chimney. This
chimney should be about five inches
in diameter. 1t is necessary to carry
off foul air and gases. The straw is
then covered with three to four inches
of soil. AS the weather gets colder,
more soil may be added to prevent
freezing.

Sugar Strip Needed
in the Diet Of Bees
Supply Before Putting Away
for the Winter.

Beekeepers are advised by Francis
jaeger, chief of the division of bee
culture, University of Minnesota, to
feed 10-pound pail of sugar strip
to every colony of bees, regardless
of weight, before putting them away
for the winter. This sugar strip
should be made of two parts of sugar
and one part of water, boiled for 40
minutes, with an ounce of tartaric
acid to every 100 pounds of sugar.
While the general condition of bee
colonies is good, winter stores are of
rather doubtful quality. The dark fall
honey may be mixed with honey dew
which is poisonous to the bees.
Most beekeepers of Minnesota win
ter their bees in cellars. A good win
tering cellar, says the bee specialist,
is one which is about AZ degrees Fair
enheit in temperature, is dark, quiet,
moderately damp, and free from mice
and offensive odors. The bees should
be put into the cellar about Novem-
Der l, or sooner if very cold weather
sets in. Colonies with good queen,
strong in bees, covering seven or eight
frames at least, and provided with 80
or 40 pounds of honey will usually
winter well. The entrance to the hive
should be left wide open but should
be covered over with wire screen to
keep out mice. Bees should be kept in
the cellar until the pussy willows or
soft naples bloom in the spring, about
April l.

Farm population of the United
States has decreased nearly 100000
i'll the past seven years.
Minerals are of great Importance.
1t has been proved that pure limestone,
bone meal and charcoal are beneficial.
The bullsnake is beneficial to agri-
culture because it has the habit of
dining upon pocket gophers, rats and
mice.
Eggs easily absorb odors, because
the shell is porous, so store them
where they will not become contami-
mated.
Less vaccinating has been done this
summer than should have been done,
because corn has been high and hogs
have been low. This is a mistake.
Although three-horse team can
pillow more in day than a two-horse
team, the cost for blowing each acre
is more when three horses are used.
