On the supposition that the sit.. is to be filled with corn chiefly or wholly, it is important that every- thing shall bo ready when the crop has reached the proper stage for be- ing siloed, writes Prof.. Thos. Shaw. While it is true, of course, that the stage of maturity during which corr. may bo successfully cured in th i silo varies from tho first formation of grain on tho cob until the crop is virtually or almost ripe, it is also truo that there is a period of matur- ity at which it may be made into silage with less of hazard than nt any other period. That period is usually spoken of as the -'glazed or roasting stage of the ears. The aim should be, therefore, to hne'o all things ready when the corn is ready. It is better to begin while tho corn is a little short of readiness where much filling is to be done, as it will bo more than ready before the Inst of the crop is stored. The all things include a corn harvester for putting the crop into sheaves, low wagon or trucks with platform for drawing the corn, a powerful cutting box to cut and shred the corn at the same time, a blower attachment to convey it to the silo, a gasoline or other engine of sufficient power, and enough help to keep tuoving me steadily in each department. This means that good planning is neces- sary, and it also probably means that under ordinary farm conditions mono or less of co-operation will be necessary between farmers who are neighbors. 11) this way the labor question can be better solved proba- bly than in any other. If two oe three neighbors co-operate thus, ad- ditional hiring may bo dispensed with entirely. Such co-operation would not be completely satisfactory if each toast's crop should be rends for the silo at the sante time, bet this seld(An happens. UU'1+ AND SHREDDED SILAGE. Tho superiority of cut and shredded silage over that which is simply cut, consists in the more complete con- sumption of the silage by the stock. When corn is simply cut, though tho lengths bo very short, cattle will reject more or less of the hard por- tions of the ,.talk toward the butts. The rejected silage runs all the way from 5 to 10 p.c. and in some in• stances it is more. When the silage is both cut and shredded, waste is Practically eliminated, as the cut portions of tho stalk aro also torn into shreds. Additional power is wanted to make such silage, but the addition is not so u(uch AS would be supposed at first thought, for the reason that when the cuts are shred- ded they now be left considerable longer than would otherwise bo ad - does in the center of the silo. Tho most valuable quality in the man in the silo is conscience, especially should the weather be hot. It is Much hotter in the silo than outside. The person thus engaged is out of sight, and is so far muster of tho situation. Because of these things, a conscientious man in a silo who weighs only 1.10 pounds is worth many tithes more than a man with a sleeping conscience who weighs 200 pounds. Many plans have been adopted of covering the silage. None probably has proved better than that whicb scatters a thick seeding of oats over the silage, adds 41 few buckets of water, and then allows the mass of greecn food produced to decay. No silo can bo filled so as to remelt, quite full, hence when the silo is (1111 it is usually necessary to allow it to settle a few days and 1i11 again. THE FARM ICE HOUSE. A convenient size for the farm ico house is about 12 feet square on the outside. Let the frame bo made of timbers 2 by 0 inches and set up so (he siding outside, as well as the inside lining boards, will run up and clown the wall, thus facilitating drainage. Tho eaves should be 10 feet high says W. W. Stevens. In one end 4 or 5 feet from the ground there should be a door through which the ice can be put in and taken out. I find by experience that it is best not to extend this door down to the ground, as more or less air will get in and melt the ice, no mutter how tight we try to mako it. Provide good ventilation by snaking a couple of lattice wits• dolt's in either gable. This is very necessary if ice is to keep well. It is not necessary to pack the space between the two walls with sawdust 01 straw, as the dead air is just as good and the structure will not rot down so quickly. Fill in tho bottom of rho house with (dirt so it will be a few inches higher than the level of the ground inside. 'Then lay old timbers, tails or poles across the bottom and illi in the straw to a depth of 0 or R inches, then your house is ready to fill. The poles or rails keep the ico trent coining in contact with thu earth and give good drainage with- out, allowing any air to get in. in packing away ico try and got the blocks out as nearly square as possible, a11(1 he particular to pound up ice and till up snugly all crevices and joints that do not lit up to- gether. Blocks of ice can always bo cut 80 they will fill out the space Imo tweet) the 11811s exactly, so titers will bo no pieces to lit in. It is a good plan to stop the ice about 6 inches short of the inside wall, and 1111 in this space as the house is be• ing tilled with sawdust, chaff or straw. The ice should bo covered before the weather gets warm enough t-► start it to melting. Every few days it should 'he examined and all open spaces filled up so as' to keep missible.
