Case Furniture Company, HEPPNER, OREGON WW SILO THAT PROVED A MONEY MAKER After a few years of careful thought and consideration ou the question of putting In the silo I ut last Itonylit a good bIIo secondhand at u public Bale, writes u Pennsylvania farmer In tiie American Agriculturist I plant my corn about one-fourth thicker than for a regular crop, as 1 want many good, large ears in tho feed. When planted too thick the sterns are too light and I do not get enough corn for a good feed. The silage if properly cut into short lengths and well packed .so as to admit of no air to It will be juicy and nutritious, and. being palatable, cattle will thrive well on it and come out in the spring in good llesh and shed their hair much sooner than cattle kept alone ou dry feed. ' 1 begin to cut corn for silage when near the ripening stage Just when the corn on the ear is dented and nearly lit to cut for shocking and before the lower leaves have died off too much. At this stage I seem to get about all the feeding value out of it. and there Is still enough moisture in the stalk to make it pack well in the silo. If com MgftS' -m, " Photo by Kansas Agricultural college. Elizabeth of Juneau, world's champion Ayrshire cow. Is owned by tho Kansas Agricultural college at Manhattan. Tho world's best three-year-old Ayrshire finished her year's trial not long ago with 15, 28 pounds of milk to her credit, Gt"G pounds more than the cow which has until now held the cham pionship record. Elizabeth contrib uted during the year 535.84 pounds of butter fat, equal to C2ii pounds of butter. Tho average test for the year was 3.52H per cent Her ra tion has consisted of the general herd ration of four parts corn, two parts bran and one part oilmeal as a grain ration, and she has re ceived all the alfalfa and silage she would consume. gets too dry add enough water to make it pack well. When I am ready to Gil the silo I try to get enough 'help to keep a cutter and engine busy. There is much to be gained by hav ing an extra man or more to handle the corn, for it is a heavy job. I aim to have two men in the silo to tramp and pack it well and distribute the corn and leaves into all parts of the silo. My silo is the round stave silo of cedarwood. and I figure I can grow the corn under ordinary conditions and put It into the silo for $1.50 a ton. and I also figure that every ton of silage is worth $-1 to $5 a ton when compared with other feeds. 1 live ou a farm of l.'JO acres, where I grow a variety oT crops, such as corn follow ed by oats, followed by wheat, and occasionally a second crop of wheat with which 1 seed over land to grass, timothy and clover. This hay 1 had formerly fed out to my jgtock. The cows, horses and sheep were also fed much of the corn and corn stover. With a silo 1 can now hold over much more and better feed for my cows and sheep, and the silage is pro duced ou much less acreage. This is a very strong point in favor of the silo. I can farm better without the automobile than without a silo. The fatteners of cattle for beef claim much larger gains by the use of silage for feeding. Silage seems to furnish just what the dairy cow wants and also what the steer wants for taking on flesh. I have paid for the silo many times over by selling the bay I would have fed to my cattle, sheep and other stock, and there is no food to equal good corn silage if properly put up. Feed For the Colt. Too few of the colts on most farms receive any other means of sustenance except their mothers' milk till they are ready to wean, writes a correspond ent of the Iown Homestead. Of course the colt will graze some, but it will not develop and thrive as well on grass and milk as it would if properly fed on a little grain and mill feed stuff. We begin to tempt the colt to eat of a little grain, mill feeds and clean, bright roughage Just as soon as possible. With a small trough containing some grain and placed where the colt fre quents, it quickly forms the habit of eating. We have found a most satisfactory feed for the colt to be one part corn chop, one part bran and two parts oats. These form a ration that will furnish bone and muscular tissue for tho young and rapidly growing body and at the same time supply sufficient material for putting on a little fat and keeping up the heat sometimes necessary. f THE SWINEHERD, Never kill a pig for market or home consumption until It is ripe for It. The cause of unthrifty pigs can often be traced to a til thy swill barrel. Prepare to keep the young pigs growing from the hour they en ter the world. Hogs are among the most cleanly animals If they are giv en a fair chance. A lot of hogs in a hog lot well grown with clover will convey a lot of money to their owner's pocket. Be sure that the hog herd, large or small, has an abundance of fresh, clean water to drink all the time. The hog that is fed on one thing all the time makes slow growth and little pork. .I-....H"H-H-I"l"I"!"l"l"i"l"I"I"I"!"l"I"I' NATURE TELLS YOU! THE uililktron- CONCRETE COOLING VAT. Homemade Icelees " Refrigerator For Country Use. Many country homes which cannot have ice must depend on other means for keeping milk, butter and farm products cool, says the American Cult! viitor. Nothing Is better and cleaner than a concrete vat sunk in the ground In the milk house and fed by a spring or with water from the well on its way to the stock watering tanks. The size of the vat is dependent on the needs For a farm with a small dairy suffi cient space is to be had in a tank four feet two inches by seven feet two inches i-n the clear, by twenty-three indies .deep and with live inch walls and bottom. This vat will hold eight regulation shipping cans spaced six inches apart In a corner of the milk house dig the pit for the vat five feet wide, eight feet long and twenty-two inches deep If the water is to be fed and removed by iron pipes, these should be laid at once with their ends provided with screw" or sleeve couplings five inches above the earth bottom of the pit. Build a box form without top or bot tom four feet two inches wide by sev en feet two inches long, outside meas urements, and twenty-three inches deep. Mix tho concrete mushy .wet of one bag of Portland cement, two cubic feet of sand and four cubic feet of screened gravel or crushed rock, or one part cement to four parts pit grav el. Place u cork in the ends of the pipes and lay the five inch bottom with a strip of woven wire fencing in the concrete within two indies of the top Quickly finish the bottom smooth with As Many a Heppner Reader Knows Too Well.

Corn For the Silo. It was former taught by the agri cultural colleges that corn should be cut for milage Just when the grain was In the. "dough" stage, but experience has demonstrated that good silage may be made at almost any stage after that, but never before. Silage corn cut too soon lacks substance and feeding quality. It Is too washy. If cut after It Is dead ripe It may be necessary to run water Uito the blower, but it will make silage. Kansas Parmer. HOMEMADE COOLING VAT. a wooden float and a steel trowel and at once set the box form in the pit so as to leave n space of five inches on all sides. FHI this space with con crete. Around the corners of the tank, near the top and bottom, imbed an old Iron rod. firing the outside walls to full height above floor level by using a width of board along the side and end. Round the edges and finish the top of the walls with a trowel. When the tank is two days old care fully remove the forms. Rub down the walls with a soft brick and paint them with a creamy mixture of cement and water. Five days later the vat may be used. In the coupling of the outlet pipe place n section of overflow pipe nineteen inches long, which will draw off the warm water at the top of the tank. The overflow pipe should be at least one-half inch greater in diame ter than the Inlet pipe so as to remove all danger of flooding the milk and the dairy house. Make a grating of one inch slats or gas pipe to place on the bottom of the vat to provide n circula tion of cool water under the milk cans As an aid in lifting the cans fix a hand rail at a convenient height above the tank. For this vat there will be required one and one-half yards of crushed rock or screened gravel, three-quarters yard of sand and ten bags of cement at a total cost of about $0. Two men can build it In one day. Larger cool ing tanks should have walls six inches thick. Filled with cool water from the spring or well, such a vat will keep the cream sweet and will in many other ways take the place of an Ice refrigerator. 24 Acres Good Plow Land at $80 per acre.

He is a good hog anywhere you put him; but. as he was originally bred as a bacon hog, ho seems to like plenty of milk in his diet and is mighty willing and able to pay for it. Any god hog is a good hog for a dairy farmer to keep, and the color of his hair doesn't matter. So - select the breed you like liest and st.iy with It, and It will stay with you. PEOPLE who do not know Should know that FRIEDRICH "THE TAILOR" turns out the best iitting and U'st made clot lies in Heppner It Is Billions of Timei Smaller Than the Tiniest Atom. We know that the big telescopes, aided by the photographic plate, roveul stars to the number .of at least 100,000,000 lying utterly be yond the confines of unaided vision. Now it appears that a pinch of salt which one could hold on the point of a penknife is made up of atoms numbering not hundreds of mil lions merely, but billions of billions. The population of atoms in the smallest particle of matter visible under the microscope is greater by far than the total human popula tion of the globe since the race de veloped. And a little instrument composed of two fragments of gold leaf makes it possible to perform the miracle of counting these deni zens of the realm of infinite little ness. Within the smallest atom there is something almost 2,000 times smaller than the atom itself a something that is detachable from the atom and susceptible of being measured as to its mass and tested as to its electric charge with the aid of apparatus actually in use in the laboratory. This ultimate par ticle of matter is called the electric corpuscle or electron. We owe our knowledge of it chiefly to Sir Jo seph Thomson. It is the smallest thing in the world, and it is prob ably the .basal substance out of which all matter of whatever char acter is built. As regards bulk, the electron 13, according to the French physicist Jean JRecquerel, billions of billion of times smaller than the atom. To make the comparison vivid Bee quorel likens the electrons in aa atom to a swarm of gnats gravitat ing about in the dome of a cathe- dral. ' As we penetrate thus far and farther into the realm of the in- . finitely little, seeing in imagination the smallest visible particle of mat ter resolved into myriads of mole cules, each molecule into 'sundry atoms and each atom into its teem ing swarms of electrons, the ques tion naturally arises, What lies be yond? Dr. Henry Smith Williams in Harper's Magazine. Cementing Antiques. Old stone monuments,, statues and building fronts that are crum bling from long exposure to the weather can now be patched up cheaply, the patches not being no ticeable, by means of one of the latest adaptations of concrete. With proper selection of materials and coloring, most building stone, it has been discovered, can now be imitat ed. The crumbling stone is chipped away until sound stone is reached and the original shape is restored in concrete. By following the lines of tho original stone blocks the ef fect is as good as if the entire blocks had been replaced at heavy con struction cost. The. crumbling pil lars of a German city hall and some badly broken statues on another German public building have been effectively restored in this wav. Exchange.
