The value of a pure bred sire lies in his ability to 
stamp on his offspring the greatest number of 
desirable qualities, and to eliminate undesirable 
characteristics. The pure bred Guernsey bull has 
demonstrated his power to increase milk and butter 
fat production. Write a postal now for “ The Grade

LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY 
Tramping or Water for Silage? 
Which is the more desirable practice in 
filling a silo; to tramp the silage down 
or to secure the necessary settling and 
exclusion of air by the use of water? 
There are a number of conditions to be 
considered in answering this question. 
They are: 
1. The condition of the corn—whether 
green, or ripe, or frosted. 
2. The speed with which the silo is 
filled. 
3. The type of the silo itself—whether 
round, or square, or octagonal. 
If the corn is green enough so that it is 
full of juice, and the silo is filled slowly, 
i. e., eight or 10 loads of corn a day put 
in. I have found that the corn will settle 
down very compactly without any more 
tramping than is incidental to leveling it 
off. During the shortage of labor a good 
many farmers who have silo-filling ma¬ 
chinery have filled their silos themselves 
with only one or two men to help, and 
have sent a man Tip into the silo to level 
it off after every load or two. Of course, 
when corn is green and full of juice it is 
foolish to sprinkle it. Even when the 
corn is green, however, if the silo is 
filled rapidly, ?. e„ all in a day or two, a 
man should be kept in the silo to keep it 
leveled off and tramped as much as pos¬ 
sible. Otherwise the silage will settle so 
much that it is impossible to get any¬ 
where near the use of the full capacity 
of the silo without refilling. 
When the cornstalks are quite dry, 
either from being frosted, or mature, I 
would advise a combination of the two 
methods of tramping and watering—the 
tramping to be done by a man in the silo 
who will take pains to mix the leaves and 
the pieces of stalk, and the watering to be 
<jone by a stream of water running into 
the elevator or blower. This is sure to 
result in good silage, whereas if either of 
the methods are relied upon alone, with 
too dry cornstalks, the chances are that 
there will be spoiled spots all through the 
silage. The above discussion applies to 
the round silo in common use. Where 
square or octagonal silos are used, it is 
my experience that more tramping of the 
corn next to the walls is needed, and that 
no amount of water is a substitute for 
this important practice. H. E, babcock. 
Buffalo Live Stock Show 
At a meeting of breeders. State De¬ 
partment men, citizens of Buffalo and 
others, on May 6 , it was decided to launch 
a livestock show in that city, to be held 
the second week in December in the stock- 
yards of the New York Central Rail¬ 
road. Plans were made to incorporate, 
and Mr. Dold of the Dold packing plant 
is proposed as the president. Twenty-one 
directors were named, and the men are 
of such calibre as to insure the success 
of the project. The show is to follow 
the national show of Chicago, that date 
being regarded as the best for the success 
of the enterprise. The dairy industry of 
the section is to receive attention, as well 
as meat animals, and officers of the var¬ 
ious associations were in attendance and 
took part in the discussions of the day.
