Many people make the mistake of
cutting corn too green for silage,
writes I)r. G. A. Billings in American
Agriculturist. At this stage there Is
a larger percentage of water, and the
allage when taken out has a large
amount of acid, less starch and sugar
and hence is less nutritious. Corn
planted in drills with stalks eight to
' ten Inches apart will mature a good
proportion of ears.
Harvesting should not begin until
the ears are passing the roasting st^ge
and begin to glaze. Unless the season
is exceptionally dry the stalks and
leaves will remain green, but too ma
ture or dry corn is more Hable to
mold. This may be found in spots
around the sides or more generally
over the sllowherever the air has gnln-
1 ed access to cause the fungous growth.
This Audition may be improved by
tramping the material carefully tn the
silo, adding water by sprinkling with
a hose, or If this is not avalable di
rect a stream of water into the blower
1 or elevator sufficient to saturate the
cut fodder. This moisture assists the
material to settle and acts as a seal
I to keep out the air.
There should be labor and teams
enough to keep the cutter running
steadily. Nothing is gained by cutting
a large amount of corn beforehand,
hauling and piling near tbe machine
to be handled over again. Alm to har
vest at the least expense a ton. This
| will be accomplished as follows:
If
| hand cutting Is practiced, cut and hand
directly to the man loading, not throw-
' Ing on the ground in bundles, which
will require an extra handling. Let
each load come to the table of the ma
chine in turn, handling the corn direct
ly to the feeder. If the corn is long
and heavy an extra man is needed on
the table to assist.
Power should be ample and in pro
portion to the size of the cutter. The
blower is replacing tbe elevator ma
chine. economizing space and largely
doing away with the stopping of an
entire crew to repair the elevator. If
the corn Is heavy and the stalk lnrgs
cutting in half inch to one inch pieces
will have the tendency to partially
shred the stalk, and there will be no
butts refnsed by the animals.
Teh material In the silo should be
kept level and well trampled, especial
ly around the sides of the silo, and it
pays to have sufficient help for this
work. Where considerable silage is
put up It pays to have a corn harvest-

Tbe source of power for running the

Clover and corn furnish a fodder
ration that can not easily be improved
upon for dairy cows. Two factors
should be taken into account when de
termining the amount of grain to feed.
One Is the extent to which clover or
alfalfa is fed, and the second Is the
production of the cow. The rule with
some is to feed one pound of grain for
every three pounds of milk produced.
When clover or alfalfa form a large
part of the ration it would seem rea
sonable to suppose that a less quantity
of grain would suffice than tbe amounts
named.
Avoiding Wart«.
The first great lesson to tie learned
is to avoid waste. Waste has been the
curse of agriculture. Why pay taxes
i on land that is not farmed? Why only
half cultivate the fields and so waste
I both lahd and labor
Why waste time
and capital in raising inferior animals?
Why waste money in buying what
should be raised on the farm? Why
waste energy in trying to do more than
any one man can do right? On many
farms there Is waste in a thousand
ways, and no wonder that to some
"farming does not pay." The small
details must be looked after, and no
farm should tie larger than what can
be properly attended to.

FIRST-CLASS LAUNDRY WORK
From numerous experiments made
in Wisconsin there has been developed
a strain of white dent corn which
grows on a very short, thick-set stalk,
and which matures a gixsl-sized ear,
and the ears run remarkably uniform.
The growth centers In the ear rather
than in producing a big stalk at the
expense of a small ear. After four
years of careful, persistent work, there
are numerous corn fields In Southern
and Central Wisconsin which will
yield (10 to 80 bushels per acre, and
100 bushels have been reported several
times. $uch results coming from a
State which! a few years ago was con
sidered out of the corn belt demon
