and Make^ltrNEW 
Your old stave silo isn’t a dead loss even 
if it does look like the one at the left be¬ 
low; or even if it has completely collapsed, 
breaking the matching of the staves. If 
you want silo and silage insurance for life 
—make it into a Craine Triple Wall Silo. 
With the Crainelox Covering you can use 
all the old material that is sound, except 
the Hoops, and make a strong, 
airtight, scientific, 3-wall silo at 
about one-half the cost of a new 
silo—a beautiful building keeping 
perfect silage. 
Send at once for literature on new 
Craine Triple Wall Silos, and our 
plan of rebuilding old stave silos. 
Special discount to early purchas¬ 
ers. Fine proposition to agents.

A Small Floclt of Sheep 
I have been interested in the articles 
on sheep-raising in The R. N.-Y.. and 
perhaps it may be of interest to some of 
the readers to know my experience. Three 
years ago I bought six old ewes, culls 
from a flock of grade Oxfords and Shrop- 
shires, also seven ewe lambs. I paid 
53 head. The first year I 
lambs, four ewes, which I 
year I raised 21 lambs. 12 
of which were ewes. I wintered the li 
old ewes and 12 lambs. From the 29 
head I sheared 203 lbs. of wool, which I 
sold for iiilSO.lO. I sold 10 lambs for 
.$1.T3. and have 12 that I am winteHug. 
and T consider that they arc worth .$15 
each. The income from the flock is as 
follows: 
).» 
raised eight 
kept. Last 
203 lbs. wool. 
50 lambs . . . 
12 lambs . ..

5.53.00 
ISO.OO 
Total. .$.522.50 
T feed my slieej) some oats and bran 
all Winter, and think that it pays in the 
wool alone; in fact, I believe that the 
wool will pay the expense of keeping a 
flock of sheep. Some say that it does not 
pay to grain sheep through the 55 inter, 
but I do not think there is any kind of 
animal Avhich responds to good care more 
than sheep. 
I have milked from 50 to 20 cows for 
the past nine years, and think very nnieh 
as our Ohio friend that they do not much 
moi’e than pay for what they eat, to say 
nothing of the labor. T would rather have 
four good ewes thiin a eow any day.

Cheese Value of Milk 
Some time ago yon printed a table 
(taken. I think, from a bulletin of Cor- 
iK’il dairy department) giving the value 
of milk by the bntterfat test. There is 
quite an interest being taken here in , 
ilairying. Starting with .39{" milk woi'th j 
$3 per hundred, what is ,3%. 4, Affi, 5, 
514 . und 0% milk worth? 55’ith cheese 
at 24c per pound, what is the 3. 354. 4, 
414 , . 5 , 514 , 0% milk worth per 100 lbs.? 
Manv have an idea that milk low in bnt¬ 
terfat is w<irth just as much for cheese- 
making as the higher testing. il. A. B. 
ilillington, N. .T. 
At the present time milk prices in Neiv 
5'ork are based on a flat rate per cwt. 
for 3 iier cent milk, jilns 4c additional 
for eiich tenth of a per cent above 3 per 
cent, or, in other Avords. 40e per pound 
of hntterfat. Assuming the flat rate for 
o per cent milk to he $3 as yon suggest: 
354*4 milk would be worth .$,3.20

The idea that milk low in hntterfat is 
wortli as much jier cwt. for chccso-making 
is (‘rroneons. According to 5 iin Slyke 
and Pnhlow of New 5'ork the following 
are the .amounts of cheese tlmt can be 
made from 100 lbs. of milk i^arying in 
fat content:

Feeding Valne of Beets 
55 ’hat is the dilTereuce in feeding mat¬ 
ter of mangels or table beets? .^h^f 
mangel beet has liie most nourishing 
feeding value for cows? w. K. 
Long Island. 
The table beet contains a little more 
dry matter than the mangel, but the 
yield is so much less it does not pay.to 
grow them for stock feeding. Sutton’s 
Long Red is one of the best yielding va¬ 
rieties to grow. IL I'- J-
