Pntetkal rlu show that corn matt not be too green to make the beet all, it has ben recommend ed for cottiBB all the war from the taMlinr suge to the time when the stalks are ripe and mature. Dairy men and niofkraen' who hare had a grent deal of experience suy that corn near) mature makes the most palatable and natlgfactory Milage. Just after the kernols arc (laztd over and commence to harden, all of tlio plant food Is stored In tlio ear; nil that Is left to do Is Tot- tlio moisture to evap orate. "When corn Ib about right for hand cutting. It Ih also about right for hIIiiko,'' Is tlio latest advlco. Tlio only dlfforonco between tlio grain corn and tlio sllaga corn Is that In tlio ouo tlio moisture Is evaporated out of It, whllo In tlio other, wo wnnt the inolsturo to remain enough to moisten tlio mass thoroughly whon plated In the pllo. In some sections of tlio stato tlio frost ! Into tho corn field boforo the corn harvester does. Should this occur, the corn harvester should bo busy In the field the next day aftor Jack Frost has been busy at night. If the frosted corn Is allowed to stand a wosk or 10 days, it becomes drj, weathers and makes an unpalatable silage, at the best. If the corn Is so dry that there Is not enough mois ture to saturate the mass, water should be added through the blower while the com Is being cut up. This may bo added by a hose attached to a tank or elevated barrel. It Ik claimed that some of the best silage crer fed at the Indiana station was made from corn upon which most of the leaves were dry and all the water nn inelt lioso would carry was run Into the blowor constantly during the lining. I'illlnK the Silo. Tlio greatest cost of tho sllago Is In the Initial Investment roqulrod to buy a silo, corn binder, cutter, distributor, engine, olc, but wo must bear In mind that this Investment Is not for a single your but Is scattered over n great many years, If the materials am handled carefully. The Invest ment In all of these, If ono man Is to own and operate them, Is Immense. This Is lmpiactlc&l unless one has a largo acreage to put up. Professor Warren, of Cornell, found In his In vestigations that tho average Now York farm Is too highly capitalized vlth machinery In other words, the valuation ot the machinery on the nwirnge rnrm is iiigiier than It should be In proportion to tho size and value of tho land. It Is almost n necessity that a few farmers co-operato In tholr silo fill lug. This reduces the cost nor ton of the sllago aftor It Is made. In ro Hponse to a query sont out by tho Mlssouil Kxperimout Station, ovor tiflO farmers replied, stating thnt their silHKo cost them from 2a 14 rents to jl.Dfi per ton, the average being about fiO cents a ton. Tills Is much cheaper titan tlio corn could have been harvested by any othor method. The corn binder Is quite an OMonllnl piece of machinery for har vesting the corn crop. If the crop Is good ami tho hauling distance not too great, at lonst one day's supply should 1m cut boforo the silo Is to bo filled. Then, whllo tho work Is prog ressing, a man hoops cutting and this keep tho corn green all tho tlino nnd none ii(. out. In many localities, nn en nine from a local thrashing out. fit may bo hired for from H to Jio HOME AND FARM , per day. the ne whose silo Is being fllled to furnish, tae coal and board tbu meu.

Tbe aoK rtkslar details ol silo inline Is to bare the cat material well rUstrlbnted arosnd inside the silo. Pnt at least two good men inside, and three are better. They should keep the corn well distributed, have the center a little higher than the outside and keep tramping. This is the all-important part. Each air space that Is left' will he surrounded by moldy silage nnd so each air space that Is ciowdeu out will give just that much more edible silage, After the silo has been filled, foiuo precautions are usually tnkeu to keep tho top from spoiling. Some put wet straw through the cutter until It Is a foot or more deep on top of the sllngo; others pack the tqp well and then sow oats on thickly. These toon sprout and tho root growth quito ef fectually excludes the ulr. Others put on scverul Inches of sawdust, while still others dump on a bnrrcl of salt, but tho lutost Idea of shutting out tho air from tho top of the silo Is to run a half-Inch layer of hot pitch over tho surface. This excludes the air and may be broken up and laid aside, for uso next year when the silo Is refilled. IVediii;: 5ilu:c. How, when, and to what animals silage should be fed, are much mooted questions. To answer them fully would require volumes. I have seen good, sweet silage fed to all classes ot farm stock with no 111 re sults attending. I have heard speak- ts say that silage should never be fr-d to horses or animals with but a single stomach, but I have soen horses come out in the Spring In fine condi tion when they were Wintering al most exclusively on corn silage. All farm animals will oat It. It Is a fair ly good substitute for green feed for chickens, hogs relish it. and daln- men cuiiuot get along without It (Jreen and excosslvcly sour silage must be fed pretty carefully If no harm is to result, but sllngo made of corn that Is properly matured Is pal atable and safe feed for all kinds of stock. Tho proccs of fermentation which takes place in the silo chaucr some oi mo unavailable materials In the sjalk and ears to available animal rood. .No chemist has as vet Iipmi able to fully explain this, but it has neen shown to bo true and hence It lessens tho food value of tho corn crop to take tho ears off and feed morn separate. Finally, never feed moldy or froz ensilage. Moldy silage Is sometimes poisonous and should be thrown where stock mnot get IL Frozen si Inge Is all right after It thaws out, but often causes a severe diarrhea If fed In tho frozen state. I. J.
