in rows and cultivate them or broad¬ 
cast by hand, or solid with a grain 
drill. Usually about four-fifths of the 
regular silage corn area should be 
planted to silage corn and one-fifth to 
soybeans. The soybeans in our experi¬ 
ence have yielded per acre of green 
weight, over one-half as much as corn 
to fully as much as the corn. Inasmuch 
as they are rich in protein when mixed 
with the corn at silo filling time, they 
considerably increase the content of 
the silage corn in its valuable feed 
nutrient. 
Soybeans also have a considerable 
place as a hay crop on sandy and grav¬ 
elly lands. They can be sown as above 
mentioned for silage and will yield two 
to three tons of hay per acre, which is 
very palatable and high in feeding 
value. 
WHY BUILD A SQUARE SILO? 
1 am putting up a new square silo, some tell 
me to board It on the outside, and others tell 
me not to. Which do you think Is the better 
way, and what Is your opinion of putting on a 
roof? This silo is 13 feet square and 30 feet 
high. Please tell me how many tons It will 
hold?—J. E. H., New York. 
I wonder why you are building a 
square silo, for I thought that this idea 
had been so long ago relegated to the 
limbo of bad practice that no one ever 
built square silos any more. 
Round silos are more uniformly 
stronger, permit of more even settling 
of the grain, and actually keep silage 
better. I do not know just what you 
mean by boarding it on the outside. If 
you have built it of wood, I assume you 
are using studs and boarding it on the 
inside. Your question is as to the de¬ 
sirability of the outside covering. It 
may help a little bit in preventing 
freezing, but this consideration is 
really of small moment. It may make 
the structure look a little better to 
have it boarded on the outside. Per¬ 
sonally, I believe a roof is a desirable 
adjunct to any type of silo, as it pre¬ 
vents the gathering of great quantities 
of unnecessary moisture inside the 
silo in wet seasons, to say nothing of 
snow. The silo of the size you mention 
will contain slightly in excess of 100 
tons.—K. J. T. E. 
CARCASS INDICATES T. B. 
I have butchered a pig about four months 
old and find that the liver is all covered with 
yellow spots. About ten days before butch¬ 
ering, the mate of the one I butchered, died. 
What do you think was the matter? Is the 
meat fit to use, of the one I butchered? It 
looked to be in good health before killing.— 
(Jacob Schmidt, Saratoga County, N. Y. 
Your description leads us to infer 
that without a doubt the animal was 
suffering from tuberculosis and under 
no condition should the meat be used 
for food. As a matter of precaution 
you should call your veterinarian to 
examine the rejt of the animals on 
your place. If it develops that the 
animals were suffering from tuber¬ 
culosis or another disease such as hog 
cholera, new stock should not be placed 
in the old quarters.

N OW you can get a De Laval Milker on any terms you desire— 
for cash, on time, or on installments. 
Over 20 years were spent in the development of the 
De Laval Milker, until the De Laval Company was abso¬ 
lutely sure of its mechanical perfection. Since then over 10,000 
have been sold and actual use has proved the De Laval to be 
superior to any other method of milking. 
Increased production enabled prices to be reduced in September 
1921 and again in September 1922, which now places De Laval 
Milker prices on a “rock bottom” basis. 
Finally, the announcement of these extremely liberal terms 
places the De Laval within the reach of any one needing a milking 
machine. 
For 10% down you can start using a De Laval right now, and 
6% a month for 15 months pays for it. You can save enough in 
time and labor, and get enough more milk of better quality, to 
more than meet the monthly payments. 
There is now no need of milking by hand, which is slow, 
costly and disagreeable. Get your De Laval in now before your 
rush season. See your De Laval Agent or write us for full in¬ 
formation.

M ore Unadilla Silos are bought each year than 
of any other two makes in the East. They lead 
because of their economy, convenience and exclu¬ 
sive features. The Unadilla door-fasteners form 
the famous, wide, safe, permanent ladder under the 
door opening. All hoops are adjusted from this lad¬ 
der. The continuous door opening andUnadilla air¬ 
tight but non-sticking, non-freezing doors permit 
silage to be shoved out instead of pitched overhead.
