8ilago Cutter at Work Showing Connection With Engine
(By A F KIDDER Louisiana Expert
tnent Station) '
The silo is a large cisternllke con-
struction for preserving green forage
crops that may be put away In (be
summer to feed during the winter
months We all enjoy eating fresh
vegetables and do not realise wbat it
means to have to live on dried mate-
rials Live stock prefer green food
and the silo is simply a means of
keeping It as nearly as possible in
that condition There is no method
eo economical of storing the whole
corn plant not one bit need be wasted
If cut above the ground
Wood metal and cement are the
materials used in constructing this
live stock pantry At first silos were
tuilt underground but the extra work
of removing the material and seepage
BUSINESS OF BREEDING HOGS
Much Better for Beginner to Start In
on Modest Scale antf Gradually
Increase His Herd
(By E I JORDAN Louisiana Experi-
ment Etatlon)
It is much better for the beginner
In the business of breeding hogs and
other animals to start In on a modest
scale and gradually increase his busi-
ness It Is usually Impossible for him
to purchase extremely high-priced
foundation stock and in fact It would
lie unwise for him to do so He can
’ afford to put a considerable sum Into
his herd sire which must be up to the
standard but he should be content
for a time to be classed as a multi-
plier of numbers of animals of the
y 'v-xje ' w v ?
Healthy Sow
breed in Question which he can dis-
pose of to farmers who are always
In the market for good foundation
stock for pork herds In the mean-
time he can be studying the breed
laying out his farm with the idea of
gradually increasing bis operations as
a breeder and moBt Important of all
he will acquire a fund of practical in-
formation regarding swine manage-
ment and the discerning eye which
will tell him at a glance whether an
animal possesses the requisite quali-
ties to merit a place in his herd
RAISING ALFALFA IN SOUTH
'One of Mysteries Why Leguminous
Crops Are Not Grown — Excellent
for the Cows
i -
The many feeding inquiries which
fwe receive from the South asking us
to formulate rations of cottonseed
Imeal and cottonseed hulls as the
chief feeding stuffs would lead us to
ibelleve if we did not know otherwise
ithat alfalfa or any other legume
could n°t be raised We know that
Icowpoas soy beans lespedeza al-
falfa and the like grow like weeds in
the South and it is one of the mys-
teries of the world why these crops
are not more generally grown says
‘Hoard's Dairyman Cows do not do
their beet work when fed a large
amount of cottonseed meal and when
cottonseed bulls form the entire
roughage of the ration but they will
milk splendidly when fed with good
alfalfa or other legume hay and corn
silage
Soil Characteristics
Although a soli may be rich be-
cause it contains plant food it may
be unproductive The fertility of the
Hand is its productive power tillage
Ss one of the means by which this pro-
ductive power may be increased
iMolsture is an important factor in
kfrult growing As a rule the apples in
lod orchards are under size they lack
:olor and are often deficient in nat-
ral Juiciness This fruit presents a
arked contrast to that grown In or-
ards that havq been tilled carefully

water soon showed that it would be
better to place them above ground
Good silos have been built of 2 by fl-
inch timbers that were carefully
planed for a temporary building
that will serve the purpose provided
the anchoring is well done One can
purchase the wood silos already set
up and for permanency this Is bet-
ter than using ordinary timbers at
they are more certain to be air-tight
Forms for concrete may be quite eas-
ily constructed of heavy sheet Iron
and some "two by fours" Steel rods
or wire fencing may be used for re-
enforcing This kind is permanent If
carefully put up Metal silos are a
comparatively new experiment but
they are recommended by their own-
ers Investigate the advantages of the

FEEDING HORSE MUSTY OATS
Likely to Produce Intestinal Troubles
and Possibly Blind Staggers—
Use Much Care
(By W P SHULER Oklahoma Experi-
ment Station)
A good deal of care must of ne-
cessity be taken this fall In feeding
musty oats to horses continuously
because of the likelihood to produce
severe intestinal troubles and possi-
bly blind staggors Blind staggers is
caused by molds which thrive on
stunted corn dampened barley oats
and spoiled feed of all kinds If it
Is necessary to feed grain in this con-
dition give a couple of teaspoonful
doses of common salt with it at all
feedings
Watch the bowels of your animals
carefully and whenever they show
any tendency to constipation admin-
ister one-half ounce of fluid extract
of aloes or one-half pound of epsom
salts as a drench This kind of grain
can be fed if care is taken that too
much is not given and the animals
have plenty of good clean hay fresh
water and salt to go along with it
IDLE LAND LOSES FERTILITY
Less Organic Matter and Plant Food
Lost When So 1 1 Occupied by Crop
Than When Resting
Southern land should be kept at
work In the North land is usually
left Idle during a part of the year No
particular harm comes there from
such practices if it does not wash but
there is another consideration for the
southern farmer Repeated soil analy-
sis at various times have shown that
less organic matter and plant food
are lost when the land is occupied by
a crop than when it is idle
On idle land the plant food leaches
away especially in loose sandy soils
because it has no plant there to use
it as It becomes available Then too
the sun beams down unhindered on
the soil and burns out the organic
matter which would otherwise be pro-
tected by a growing crop The Uni
versity of Florida experiment station
Is advocating that the land be plant-
ed to catch crops between seasons
for the foregoing reasons
KEEP HOGS FREE FROM LICE
Crude Oil Is Best and Most Reliable
Vermin Eradlcator— Drive Ani-
mals Into Corner
Crude oil as it is naturally pumped
from the ground is the best and most
reliable lice and nit eradlcator we
have used Crude oil Is purchased at
practically all oil stations and costs
from five to eight dollars a barrel
ordinarily or approximately 10 to 16
cents a gallon Of course the barrel
is returnable but this is included In
the price
In the oil sections like Oklahoma
for Instance this oil can often be
bought for one dollar a barrel but
that Is in the heart of tha producing
region To treat the hogs it Is well to
drive them up to a corner of the hog
house

an ornament five or six pounds

do not always need to put a notice
the paper to advertise Just neglect
your cattle and they will advertise
you all right

MIGHTY POWER OF LOVE
Great Truth in Words Which Emer-
son Is Put on Record at
Having Spoken
It was Emerson who Bald "An ac-
ceptance of the Bentiment of love
throughout Christendom for a season
would bring the felon and the outcast
to our side in tears with the devotion
of his faculties to our service Love
would put a new face on this weary
old world in which we dwell as pa-
gans and enemies too long and it
would warm the heart to see bow fast
the vain diplomacy of statesmen the
Impotence of armies and navies and
lines of defense would be superseded
by this unarmed child” Alas that
the Bentiment has not been accepted
but instead the world and the indi-
vidual have been laying their plans
and directing their action by a calcu-
lation of chances which of course
can be no bigger than the human
mind that does the calculating That
love has not been tried is proved
by the collapse of commercial civili-
zation but the things of commerce
and of calculation perish while the
sentiment of love endures because it
is of God and being of God is sure
in the end to triumph— Unlversallst
Leader
Very Thirsty
In the good old days gone by when
a gardener was kept it used to be
the custom to keep a cask of lemon-
ade from which the outdoor servants
could help themselves The garden-
er was noticed to go very frequently
to the cask and bis mistress took the
opportunity to speak to him on the
subject
"John” she said "I think you get
thirsty very often"
“No mum I don't” replied John
"Well John I see you very frequent-
ly at the lemonade barrel"
"Yes mum that’B what keeps me
from gettin’ thirsty"

TO KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE
Evidently Mr Jimso Was to Get a
Plentiful Quantity of Fresh
Air That Night
Mr Jimso was in the habit of at-
tending meetings which often de-
tained him after the usual hour of re-
tirement One night he was exceed-
ingly late and his wife after fretting
herself Into a temper went to bed
determined to give her husband a
lesson When she had been upstairs
about ten minutes she heard a knock
so putting her head out of the win-
dow she inquired:
“Is that you Tom?"
"Yes Kate come and open the
door” was the answer
"What has kept you out so late?”
asked his wife
“We have been discussing the real
benefits of fresh air" answered he
"Well" returned his better half
“you can lecture tomorrow night from
experience” and down went the win-
dow with a bang
Time Has Made a Difference

a policeman being carried off to the
Vine Street station followed by scores
of militants shrieking that women
would never be slaves I saw her a
few nights ago down near Poplar way
where she was presiding over a two-
penny restaurant where splendid din-
ners of hot stew potatoes and fruit
pudding with bread butter and tea
were served to distressed East End-
ers In addition the suffragettes have
organized pure milk depots for the
babies and an employment bureau
for girls and women”
