s:;(l() to s.-,(l(i xvoilli of feed be.siiles, .so 

 lli;it Ihe i^re:itest mi.slake that could 

 he made woidd Ije to take a chance of 

 h)sing this amount of valuable feed in 

 order to save from -f.^O to ."fSO on the 

 first cost of the silo. Besides this, 

 these unsightly cheap silos are a con- 

 tinual eyesore on your |)lace. 'I'lie> 

 detract from its appeanuice. Siglitly 

 structures add to the value of >i)ur 

 place. 



Ihe next to con.sider is what to fill 

 your silo with. When to fill it. How- 

 to fill it. It is generally conceded that 

 corn makes the ideal ensilage, hut as 

 that is a fall crop you should find 

 some suitahle cro]) for filling the silo 

 in early summer. It has been found 

 that a silo is neeiled fully as much in 

 late summer and early fall as it is in 

 winter, owing to the fact that pastures 

 dry up until they are as bare as the 

 street during the late sunniier months. 

 The best summer crop for silage is, no 

 doubt, vetch mixed with oats, but in 

 localities where vetch ctuinot be gi-own 

 successfully other crops such as clover 

 or alfalfa can be put into the silo with 

 good results. This sunmier silage can 

 be fed out, or as much of it as is 

 needed, and then filled right on top 

 with corn for winter use. Since the 

 summer silage is freciuentlv not all fed 

 out before the corn is ready to put in, 

 care should be taken to erect a silo 

 large enough to give extra storage 

 space in time of plenty, against a time 

 of shortage. This extra storage space 

 can usually be obtained by getting a 

 silo of greater height than actual size 

 of herd requires. The silo should be 

 just as large in diameter as is possible 

 to feed from one and one-half to two 

 inches per day from the entiie siuface 

 with the amount of stock on the farm 

 at the present time, and then fully 

 twice as high as the diameter. This 

 will give about as much extra storage 

 sjaace as one-third of the capacilx of 

 the silo. This will also enable >(iu to 

 increase the herd without the expense 

 of erecting another silo, which would 

 also necessitate the cost and ti-ouble 

 of maintaining two silos as against one, 

 if the first one put up is of the ])roi)er 

 size. 



Anolhei' conmion mistake made, and 

 one that contributes fully as much to 

 the cause of bad silage as an inferior 

 silo, is pulling the stufT into the silo too 

 green. The idea prevails among most 

 farmers that this is a green feed, so the 

 greener the belter. This is a serious 

 mistake, for when silage is put up loo 

 green, too much acetic acid foiMus from 

 the sap in the plant, which causes the 

 bad odors and the sour ensilage so often 

 met with. Any plant put into the silo 

 should be allowed to stand luitil it has 

 reached its full growth and has fairly 

 started to ripen or dry up. Some crops, 

 such as clover, and particularly alfalfa, 

 should be cut and allowed to lie in the 

 swath for a day or so (depending <iii 

 the weather) to get rid of the sap. If 

 necessary, then add enough water when 

 filling Ihe silo to give the properamoiuit 

 of moisture. If this is done, and the 

 silage is cut fine and well tramped into

TARRED ORCHARD YARN 



The time is now just right for tying fruit 

 trees. Tie the interior of the tree before the 

 leaves are out and the exterior can be tied 

 later. Orchard Yarn is put up in 5 lb. balls, 

 10 balls to a sack. This form is more conven- 

 ient for use as the ball can be placed in the 

 tree and by pulling the yarn lrom*the inside 

 it never tangles. 2-ply contains about 100 

 feet per pound.
