making silage if it is to copse 9Ut

Sweet &over for silage should be

Just before bloombeg. no balder

If for any reason the feed seems dry
a. stream et water should be run. to
the cutting box, tor it is essential to
lia,TEI the sweet clover well molstental
so that it can be well packed le Um
silo.
Clover Should Be Carefully Tramped.
One of the most iraportant steps in
the reeking of good silage is to be
sure that it Is spread evenly and
tramped thorouehly le the silo.
Seveuty-tive per cent, of tbe failures
in matting first-class silage last year
were due to insufficient packing. At
least two men—preferably more—
are eecessary to properly tramp
sweet clover in the silo. Great care
should be taken to see that it Is
Particularly well tramped around the
edge.. Neglect to properly pack the
silage eves quite apparent throughout
the couptry this spring, and it watt
not alvertys in ratio to the number
of merlin the silo. One farmer maid
he heel Iwo men in his silo while it
was being tilled last summer, and he
Mild not explain why one halt of his
silage was rotten from the top to the
bottom, and that on the opposite side
from the blower pipe. The condition
was eaeity explained, however, when
1 It watt loathed that the two men had
stood -&s either side of where the cut
food was blown in, and had Aran'
forked it over to the other side and
did net bother tramping at all. Be-
cause sweet clover has a hollow stem
and haanot the weight that cut corn
has it requires to be packed raore

the hay or in the silo is strongly re-
commended by some farmers, and if
the sweet clover is not being handled
under the most favorable ,conditions
it would, probably help in curing of
the fodder.
In conclusion, it may be well to
sum up the four important steps that
must be falloWad if the sweet clover
is going to be ensilaged In the best

Recently summarized data collect-
ed showed but 298 hours of use per
tractor in 1921 as compared with 416
hburs the year previous, a decrease
'of 28 per cent. The use of horse lab -
on the other hand, increased an
average of al 0 hours per farm dur-

The fact that tractor fuel declined
only 29 per cent. in price while torse

plains the change.
