Summer  Silo  ;  Corn  Cultivation 
3.  Does  a  silo  for  Summer  feeding  need 
to  be.  roofed,  or  will  the  silage  keep  as 
well  without  a  roof?  2.  Will  a  two- 
horse  riding  cultivator  work  successfully 
in  corn  round  28  inches  apart  on  level 
ground  with  small  team?  F.  D.  F. 
Cooper’s  Plains,  N.  Y. 
I  would  certainly  roof  a  silo  contain¬ 
ing  silage  for  Summer  feeding.  Without 
a  protecting  roof,  the  falling  rains  and 
great  heat  would  quickly  set  up  ferments 
and  develop  molds,  and  do  much  injury 
to  the  feed.  That  is  the  “battle"  with 
Summer  silage,  fermenting  and  molding 
at  the  surface,  unless  a  fairly  large 
amount  of  silage  is  fed  from  it  daily. 
The  advice  is  always  to  feed  two  to  three 
inches  from  the  top  daily  and  with  au 
open  top,  one  would  have  to  be  governed 
by  circumstances  as  to  tbe  amount  to  be 
removed  each  day  to  prevent  these  losses. 
Put  on  a  good  roof,  and  in  the  Summer 
when  feeding,  follow  each  removal  of 
silage  with  sprinkling  on  to  the  undis¬ 
turbed  silage  of  about  four  gallons  of 
water.  Some  put  quite  a  covering  of 
straw  on  tbe  silage,  and  pitch  it  back 
from  one  side  to  the  other,  when  remov¬ 
ing  .silage,  alternating  sides  in  feeding. 
Certainly  a  two-horse  riding  cultivator 
is  all  right  in  cultivating  28-inch  corn 
rows  if  the  axle  of  the  cultivator  is 
short  enough  so  that  the  wheels  will  not 
run  on  the  corn  tows,  instead  of  between 
them.  Take  off  the  outside  shovels  so  to 
fit  the  rows  and  there  is  no  reason  why 
small  horses  with  your  improvised  smaller 
cultivator  will  not  do  excellent  work. 
Two-thirds  of  the  cultivation  of  corn 
should  be  done  anyway  before  planting. 
Fit  the  ground  if  possible  three  weeks 
before  planting  and  then  every  few  days 
drag  it  thoroughly  to  kill  the  germinat¬ 
ing  weeds,  and  then  plant.  After  plant¬ 
ing,  kill  weeds,  not  the  com !  Do  not 
cultivate  deep  to  bring  to  the  surface 
another  crop  of  weeds  to  grow.  J.  o. 
The  Hooped  Silo  Man 
Why  does  F.  H.  build  an  octagon  silo? 
In  the  Summer  of  1308  we  put  up  a  silo 
of  2.vl  hemlock,  nine  feet  in  diameter, 
hooped  it.  aud  cut  the  doors  afterwards. 
The  silage  always  came  out  all  right. 
Last  Summer  it  blew  down,  and  we  put 
it  up  again,  using  the  same  staves,  this 
time  planing  the  edges  of  the  staves  and 
painting  them  on  the  dressed  surfaces 
with  linseed  nil,  using  three  4x0  posts, 
one  at  the  back,  two  for  the  doors  to  fit 
into,  as  described  in  The  R.  N.-Y, 
recently.  A  silo  is  easier  t<>  keep  tight 
when  tbe  hoops  are  drawn  through  posts, 
and  we  have  a  continuous  door.  This 
plan  makes  a  perfect  silo.  Why  cut  the 
lumber  into  little  pieces?  In  Maine  an 
outside  building  would  be  necessary  on 
account  of  freezing.  We  have  no  trouble 
here.  Every  silo  should  have  a  pit  to 
give  greater  depth ;  ours  is  12  feet  six 
inches  from  top  of  ground  to  bottom, 
with  one  door  in  wall  at  level  of  stable 
floor.  A.  E.  RITTEXIIOUSE.

Hog  Men  Get  Into  Action 
The  Massachusetts  Swine  Breeders’  As- 
soeiation  held  an  important  meeting  at 
tbe  Massachusetts  Agricultural  College 
at  Amherst  recently  at  which  they  elect¬ 
ed  officers  for  the  year  and  made  con¬ 
structive  plans.  The  association  went  on 
record  ns  approving  and  endorsing  the 
Massachusetts  Bureau  <>f  Animal  Indus¬ 
try  in  its  handling  of  the  _  hog  cholera 
situation.  Massachusetts  is  the  only 
State  prohibiting  the  importation  of  hog 
cholera  scrum  or  virus,  and  forbidding 
the  use  of  Cither  without  a  permit.  West¬ 
ern  States  have  encouraged  both  the  im¬ 
portation  and  use  by  farmers  to  use  ou 
their  own  herds.  But  their  experience 
seems  to  show  that  hog  cholera  is  in¬ 
creasing.  Massachusetts  took  the  stand 
that  the  State  should  test  the  scrum  to 
prove  its  potency,  and  that  it  should  be 
administered  only  by  specially  trained 
men.  With  an  experience  of  over  000,- 
000  hogs  treated  under  these  conditions 
the  results  have  far  exceeded  the  hopes 
of  the  most  sanguine.  The  Massachu¬ 
setts  method  has  the  virtue  of  bringing 
results. 
The  Swine  Breeders’  Association  asked 
the  Experiment  Station  to  conduct  a  ser¬ 
ies  of  swine  investigations.  It  has  been 
nearly  20  years  since  any  work  of  this 
kind  has  been  done  iD  the  State,  and  the 
hog  men  feel  that  conditions  warrant 
carrying  on  such  tests.  It  is  hoped  that 
a  State  hog  show  can  he  conducted  next 
Fall  iu  connection  with  one  of  the  Fairs; 
$2.1  was  appropriated  for  additional 
prizes  for  boys’  and  girls’  pig  club  win¬ 
ners.  The  officers  elected  were  IT.  C.

Hatfield,  I’a.  e.  k. 
Most  farmers  here  have  registered 
Holstein  cattle  and  raise  them  for  their 
own  purpose.  They  send  the  milk  to 
the  creamery,  getting  $1.00  a  can  for  the 
highest  test*  and  less  price  according  to 
test.  Most  farmhouses  take  boarders  in 
the  Summer  and  all  the  garden  produce 
is  used  on  the -tables.  The  main  pro¬ 
ducts  raised  in  this  part  of  the  country 
are  silage  corn,  hay  and  oats.  .Some  peo¬ 
ple  raise  enough  of  potatoes  to  sell.  Just 
now  they  bring  .$1.50  a  bushel.  I  have  a 
small  five-acre  farm.  I  raise  enough  of 
produce  to  keep  my  family  through  the 
Winter.  I  get  enough  bay.  oats  and  corn 
to  keep  a  cow  for  our  own  use  and  one 
horse.  T  have  a  boarding  house  that  ac¬ 
commodates  10  people.  w.  J.  B.

The  milk  around  here  goes  to  the  Mo¬ 
hawk  condensery,  bringing  $1.70  per

$1.80  for  milk  testing  over  3.8  for  Feb. 
In  .fun.  they  paid  $1.90  and  $2.  As  to
