Plant Forage Designed
for the SilO Nearby

In planting forage designed for the
silo, a few details should be kept in
mind. First, 1t should be grown as
close to the silo or point of feeding as
possible, because silage Is bulky and
should not be hauled any farther than
necessary. A crop that is grown on
rich soil under favorable conditions
is generally of better quality than one
grown on poor soil. Quick growth has
less woody fiber and is more digesti-
BILE and palatable; therefore, the land
should have enough fertilizer to make
a rapid growth.

Live Stock Notes


Castrate pigs six to ten weeks old.
During hot weather hogs should
have access to shade and water at all
times.
Soy beans can be used to some
extent as a supplement in the feeding
of hogs.
The demand for grain as horse feed
is on the decline and probably will be
for years to come.
The wise feeder knows that hunger
IS the best sauce, and that his stock
will gain mor rapidly II they always
are able to eat just a little more than
he gives them.
A great majority of the common all
ments of live stock If attended to In
time, cun be cared for by the farmer
himself.
While the farmer is not expected TO
be an expert veterinarian, he should
constantly be on the lookout for dis
ease In his herd.
The production of grain for the cash
market In 1927 is likely to prove much
less profitable than the selling of II
through good live stock.

Short Farm Notes

No farm building is really complete
until it is painted.
Man can live without milk. but not
so well.
Nitrogen in the air Is free but the
only way that a farmer can gather 1t
Is through legumes.
G~ooseberries and currants produce
fruit from lateral buds on one-year
wood and on spurs on older wood.
Eighteen per cent of the portland
cement used in the United States goes
for farm and small town construction.
Another step toward better profits
is the reduction Of the feed bill for
rats, grain weevils, and other such
"varmints."
The average annual rate Of deprecI-
alton to allow on a miscellaneous lot
of farm machinery usually is about 10
per cent Of its inventory value Of the
preceding year.
Copper-carbonate dust is not efYec-
tive, when used alone, against oat
smut. A mixture Of one part copper
carbonate and two parts mercuric
chloride controlled smu. u Ohio tests.

complete financial statement before
him the banker can intelligently deter
mine what credit I should have. With
a full knowledge of the farm profits
In the past. l know what credit I
should accept. No farmer or business
man should accept credit from his
bank unless he is able to put the
money into productive investment, and
his margin of profit assures the ability
to repay the loan within a reasonable
time.
For the farm this reasonable time
cannot be three or six months. The
farm turnover is too slow for that. A
helpful and just period of farm credit
for working capital must be from one
to four years.
There is another benefit from ac-
counting-the benefit of knowing
whether one is going up or down. By
extra sales one might be flush OF
money and buy heavily, thinking he is
coming out ahead, but In reality he
is sacrificing the future. On the other
hand, one might feel pinched, and
have little money to spend, but In
reality he is laying up capital"
