orchard grass, clover, oats and vetch, wheat and 

 vetch, oats and vetch or peas, straw and clover, or 

 alfalfa in the proportion of one to four, have been

 be to cut them into the silo together as well mixed 

 as possible, rather than cutting in alternate layers. 



"When the crops are approaching maturity 

 they are ready to be cut for the silo. Corn should 

 be cut well along in the glazing stage, the cereals 

 in the dough stage, and the meadow grasses and 

 clover well in bloom. Peas and vetch are ready 

 when the first grains begin to harden."

 to bid and got it, but he didn't get the business. 

 Mr. Zehntner' s letter to us tells why. "I unloaded 

 the car," he says, and found the material fine. 

 The carpenters are well pleased, the finish being 

 much better than I could have gotten here. The best 1
