Silo-Filling Is
Important Work;
Care Necessary to Prevent ■
Moldy or Fired Spots
in Silage Later.
lege of Agriculture.—WNU Service.
Care at ailo-filhng time prevents I
moldy or fired spots in the silage la-
ter In the winter when the feeders get
well down Into the contents of the
Mio.
In very tall silos where much pres
mire develops, the silage often keeps
perfectly without being distributed or
tramped: but only when moisture con-
ditions are correct. It is advisable to ,
level off and tramp the surface in all .
•I los.
How to fill and when to till depends I
largely on the condition of the corn.
Dry corn should probably be distribut-
ed, tramped, and perhaps watered.
Corn that has plenty of water needs
little or no attention.
Two general plans of filling silos are ,
followed. In one, the flexible distrib-
utor pipe Is moved about constantly
by an operator who tramps and levels
the silage at the same time. More
sen are sometimes put in to help him. ,
The other plan is to blow the corn ,
*nto the top of the silo without any- ,
one in the silo to tramp o> level the :
corn. In ttiis way the lighter portions
work toward the outside and the heav- -
ler portions accumulate in the center.
This is likely to give an uneven grade
of silage. If the corn Is very ripe or I
dry and Ims more than 3f> per cent of
dry matter some may spoil along the
Hides. Corn with n good deal of wa- 1
ter will pack closely and will be pre-
served by fermentation.
Red Fife Wheat Brought
to Ontario From Europe
The progress of wheat northward,
almost to the Arctic Circle, has been
described ns beginning in 1841, when
David Fife, an Ontario farmer, asked i
friend to send him some wheat from
■ortliern Europe. The friend got a
handful of grain from a ship lust dock-
ing at Glasgow from Danzig, says a
writer In the Washington Star. Fife
planted Hie seeds In his garden, but
only five came up, two of which were
eaten by a cow. From the three re-
maining plants came the so-called lied
Fife wheat which proved so adapted to
the climate of Canada and the north- I
erti United States that in the course of
a half century it had spread over the
greater part of the country.
This, In turn, was the foundation
of the still more productive marquis
wheat, which is credited with playing
a major part in the allied victory In
the World war. Hut with the exten-
sion of Canadian agriculture north
ward, came Hie development of still
another wheat, the garnet, which
ripens from in days to two weeks
earlier than marquis and can be grown
almost up to the Arctic circle. The
problem Is to get wheat from the
Far north of as good quality ns that '
grown farther south. One of the great
wheat countries of the world is the '
Peace river district, north of Edmou- i
ion.
Lime Needs Time
On soil needing Hine, alfalfa often
fails If seeded before the lime has
had time to correct the acidity. It Is
advisable to delay seeding until sev-
eral months after the limestone has
Ween disked Into the surface soil.
Some soils are slightly acid on the
surface! one ton requirement), but
have an abundance of lime In the soil
nnderneath. Alfalfa grows well on
fueb soils after the roots reach the
subsoil. Seedings made on such soils
immediately after liming are often suc-
cessful. Also. If such soils have been
manured recently, seedlings grow more
vigorously and may reach the calcare-
ous gubsoil.—Wallaces’ Farmer.
Indians as Corn Growers
The American Indians learned
through trial and error how to grow
corn under adverse weather condi
tions. In cold regions they added sev-
eral days to the short growing season
t>y sprouting the seed before planting.
Records Indicate that the ability of
Indians to grow corn 400 years ago
to semi-arid regions of the upper Mis-
souri valley, in an are now considered
unfavorable to corn production, was
unsurpassed by any other tribe in
America.
Storing Chopped Hay
Chopped hay occupies about one I
half to one-tliii’d tlie space needed for 1
long hay. For this reason, advises h !
writer in Prairie Farmer, care must be '
taken to increase supports of many |
nows before chopped liay Is stored
since the weight of a mowful of
chopped bay is considerably greater
than the usual capacity weight of long
hay. Since chopped liny lias a ten-
dency to heat more than long hay. It
should be properly cured before it is
stored.
Potatoes as Feed
Raw potatoes, even when clean and
•ound, are slightly bitter and are also
■omewhat laxative. Large allowances
of potatoes, therefore, are likely to re
suit in bloat and scouring, says the
Montreal Herald. This difficulty Is
largely overcome by cooking the po-
tatoes, especially for hog feeding. Such
treatment also increases their palata-
lillity, and In general, makes them a
infer feed. Where It Is possible to do
»o. the water in which the potatoes
were cooked should he discarded.
Silo Good Place
for Winter Hays
Most Legumes Are Excellent
for Dairy Cows When
Handled Right.
By W. B Nevins. Associate Chief In Dairy
Cattle Feeding. College of Agriculture, Uni- '
versify of Illinois—WNU Service.
Since hay mows are already bulging i
with good legume hay, silos probably i
will be pressed into the unusual service
of furnishing storage space for much
of the additional hay crops being
raised this year.
Contrary to the popular opinion,
most legume hays make excellent si-
lage for dairy cows if handled In the
right way. Alfalfa, soybeans and the
various clovers, all of which are in
abundance In the state this year, can
be made into palatable, nutritious en
silage.
The only difficulty with legumee as
silage is that they will develop a
strong, unpleasant odor and become
unpalatable If put Into the silo too
green. This is caused by deterioration
of the large amount of protein In such
crops. This condition not only re-
duces the feeding value of the silage but
also is likely to taint the milk, since
the odor will pervade the entire barn.
Some of ihe taint also Is carried to
the milk from the silage eaten by the
cows.
Allowing lhe legume hay to wilt and
dry out after it is ent will help prevent
the unpleasant odor and taste. The
surest method of preventing the de-
velopment of these damaging qualities,
however, is to mix fairly green corn
with the legumes half-and-half by
weight or not less than one load of
green corn to two loads of legumes.
The additional sugar in the corn causes
an acid tn form, thus preventing de
terioralion of the protein and the de
velopment of the bad taste and smell
Another method which may be used
where green corn is not available Is to
mix black strap or sugar beet molasses
with the hay nt the rate of 1 to 2 |>er
cent, or 20 to 40 pounds to the ton.
Use Cull Sweet Potatoes
as Feed for Dairy Cows
Unmarketable sweet potatoes may
he fed to dairy cattle with excellent
result*, says It. II. Iltiffner, head of the
animal httshamlry department at North
Carolina State college.
Both the tubers and the vines mike
a good, pahilalde feed which will pro-
duce milk and butter of high quality.
But live stock men can afford to
feed only cull potatoes or those which
cannot be marketed for human con
sumption at a fairly good price, Ruff-
ner pointed out.
Sweet potatoes contain about one
fourth the total feed value of an equal
weight of corn. Consequently, dairy-
men cannot afford to allow more than
one-fourth the price of corn for the
sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes may be fed cows in
place of corn silage. Since there are
25 pounds of digestible nutrients in
WO pounds of potatoes, while an equal
weight of silage contains only 17
pounds, Ihe cows will not need as
much potato feed as silage.
When sweet potatoes are fed. the
cows should also get eight to ten
pounds of legume hay to balance the
ration, as potatoes consist mostly of
starch and sugar, Ruffner stated.
Herd Sire Important
A healthy, registered bull display-
ing quality in a high degree and at
the same lime representing approved
type for the breed selected Is needeJ
Io head the grade herd being main-
tained for the production of beef. Al
though such a sire may have proved
satisfactory, It becames necessary
after a few years to replace him be-
cause he has outlived his usefulness
or must he removed to avoid Inbreed
ing. Better results will then be ob-
tained with a bull of similar blood
linos, provided, of course, that he has
desirable quality, scale, and confor-
mation. This practice tends toward
the production of calves of uniform
type and quality. It is, therefore, an
aid both in the selling of stock and in
selecting licit* rs raised on the farm
to replace the cows in the herd.—Mis
sourl Farmer.
Ration for Dairy Cow
Each dairy cow offers a different
problem and the amount of grain
needed can be determined only by the
milk records. In addition to all the
roughage, including hay and silage,
that the animal will eat she is given
sufficient grain for maximum produc-
tion. To determine the proper amount,
according to the North Carolina State
college. Hie grain ration should be
gradually Increased and the daily milk
sheet carefully checked. When the 1
milk production is not increased then i
the grain should he decreased. A
check of both increase and decrease 1
of grain will soon show the proper I
amount for profitable production.

FARMING IT
BY WILLARD BOLTE
HE MADE AHEATEDTANK FROM AN OLD BOILER
into the ground—then you make a
bed of straw around the base of
the post to protect the beans from
dirt and moisture—then you build
up a narrow stack of beans. This
idea works just as well for curing
soybean hay in wet weather, too.
Two North Dakota farmers bought
a discarded 18-foot steam boiler—
had it split lengthwise with an
acetylene torch—and now each of
them has a stock tank that will not
freeze. The concrete foundation has
a smoke flue through its entire
length. A fire is built in a firebox
at the right end and the smoke pipe
pulls the smoke and heat under the
tank.
