Ideal soil treatment in this val ley as elsewhere revolves around the proportion that jthree jgener al classes' of crops must be grown and frequently changed or ' rotat ed.' They are the I grains, the grasses and clovers, and cultivat ed crops. T. V ' i Clovers Valuable. ' . ..' ! The grass and clover crops,, put decaying matter; into the soil and make It more workable as well as higher in fertility. The clov ers 'are especially valuable for their effects on the land. j The cultivated ! crops,'; such as potatoes or corn, open up the boU, hasten decay of organic material and, by stirring and aerating the sottl, make, plant foods I available for succeeding crops.

If cows cjmld niiuate each fall like birds; lee green feed problem would ' be solved, but as this is out of the nuestion.we must, do tho next best thing and bring the green feed to the cows. The silo is ihe way. And not only is it useful for' sup ply Ing green feed In winter,' but ft is also a great aid to summer pastures. , Farmers look forward to summer pasture as a'meani of cutting feed costs,' but "too often pastures are more expensive than silage fed in the barns; pastures which could better be used in more profitable crops. . i 1 ' The objection to silos because of the expense of filling 1s t still heard at times. .

Thus, for herd of 30 cows. 150 square feet of feeding surface of a silo 11 feet in diameter will befnecessarr 40 cows, 200 square "feet or diameter of 16 feet; and a 'here, of 50 cows 250 square feet, or at, inside "diameter of 18 feet. Many have made the mistake of building a silo, with too larg a diameter. They have experi enced considerable , loss of silar because they i were not able to feeda sufficient amount from th iop eacn day to prevent mould ing.
