Moldy Silage Caused by
the Condition of Corn

Condition of the corn at ensiIing
time and not poor packing is the cause
of moldy and inferior quality silage.
according to recent experiments con-
Quoted by the Wisconsin Agricultural
Experiment station. To eliminate
moldy silage, corn should be ensiled
shortly after it is dented.
Corn that is oyer-ripe. wilted or
frozen when put into the silo carries
large amounts of air. Several days
elapse before the oxygen is exhausted
in the silage process and it is during
this period that molds make rapid
growth.
In testing out their theories, the men
working on the problem buried three
empty crates in silage at varying
depths at the time the silo was filed
In late winter or spring, when the
crates were dug out as the silage was
fed. no signs of spoilage were found
around the crates.

Millet Hay Too Low in
Protein for Cow Feed

Millet hay is too low in protein con-
tent to make good feed for cows un-
less supplemented with high protein
feeds. Hence, millet hay does not
give good nourishment to cows when
fed alone, and this may cause several
kinds of troubles In a herd. Millet
hay, when cut at proper stage of ma
turity, is a fairly good hay if supple
mented, but if allowed to ripen seed
the threshed straw has little value as
feed for cows, though it may be used
in a maintenance ration for horses.
For good quality of seed it should be
allowed to stand until about fully
ripe, but the straw does not have any
high value for feed.

Serious Injury
to Alfalfa Crop
Bacterial Wilt and Winter
Injury Discussed in
New Circular.
prepared by the United States Department

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Bacterial wilt and winter injury
have caused, in recent years, serious
injury to alfalfa in many alfalfa grow
ing sections of the country. The two
injuries are definitely distinct, and
either may occur without the other,
although winter injury frequently
gives rise to conditions which make
for the more rapid and destructive de-
velopment of bacterial wilt.
+. L. Jones and J. l.. Weimer of the
bureau of plant industry are authors
of Circular 800, Bacterial Wilt and
Winter Injury of Alfalfa, just off the
press and available for free diStribu-
ton by the United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington.
Bacterial wilt may cause the plant
to wilt during hot weather of spring
or summer, and under this condition
the plants die Immediately, resembling
plants whose roots have been severed
by gophers. More frequently the
plants show a characteristic dwarfed
condition with foliage pale green or
yellow. After each successive cutting
the new stems are shorter and even
tually the plant dies. The injury is
due to bacteria entering the under
ground parts of the plant, causing
alterations which may be observed
readily in the roots
Winter injury is most evident in the
taproOt, and is characterized by par
tial destruction of the root and crown
bark and following and decay of the
roots. The destruction of the root
bark affords easy access for the wilt
bacteria. Winter injury results from
the killing Of buds and parts of the
crown and roots by severe cold.
''The most important method of con-
trolling the wilt disease" say the au-
thors, "is probably the prevention of
the conveyance of bacteria by water
from old diseased plants to young
fields, especially in the spring when
many plants have wounds. Care
should be taken to avoid carrying the
bacteria to new fields in fragments of
stems of diseased plants, with IN
cleaned seed, or with manure. If the
disease is present in a field, it's dis
tributiOn by the knives of the mower
can probably be avoided to some ex-
tent by moving when the plants are
free from surface moisture"
The use of hardy varieties Of al
falfa resistant to winter injury does
not always prevent damage by bac-
terial wilt, but the authors believe it
may reduce loss from this cause.

|M|LK EXCELLENT
] IN MAKING BREAD

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
In making white bread the use OF
whole or skim milk to supplement
the proteins and minerals of wheat
flour is strongly recommended by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. Since bread is a staple food
stuff, the use Of milk in bread would
insure a better nourished population.
Dry skim milk may be used in bread
making with good results. In addi-
ton to supplementing the nutritive
value it improves the general appear
ance of the bread loaf and enhances
its ease of manufacture.
There are, however, certain differ
ences in flours and in their reaction to
skim milk in the dough which infiu-
ence the ease Of bread manufacture
and necesSitate special attention to
certain stages of the process. In or
ences in flours are and how they af-
feet the handling of bread made with
dried milk, study was made by the
bureau of dairy industry Of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
1t was found that the hard spring
wheat flours used in the experiments
reacted more favorably to the use of
dried skim milk than did winter wheat
fiours. The range of fermentation
time in which coughs give good bread
is increased by using skim milk. This
adds to the ease of manufacture and
is a very important property. The
lactose of the milk imparts desirable
golden-brown color to the crust of the
baked loaf. The texture and color Of
the crumb are also improved.

Four Qualities of Hen

A high-grade producing hen must
possess four qualities or factors in
marked degree. These four qualities
are: Q) early maturity, (2) consist.
ency, (3) high rates, and (4 non.
broodiness. These characteristics or
factors are inherited and may be bred
into a flock by rigid selection. Since
a portion of the flock is sold each year,
it is practical to dispose of those hens
that are the least valuable as egg pro-
ducers. 1t does not pay to keep non,

The practice of allowing foods to
stand in open cans is not good house
keeping. After can is opened the
contents should be stored in a clean
vessel preferably of earthenware or
porcelain. However, it is fair to say
that the danger of tin can is usually
exaggerated. The inner surface of
cans used in packing foods is treated
with a shellac which is insoluble in
ordinary food juices. It. is only when
a flaw is present that acid foods may
attack the container.
