As for you," she Alfalfa Mixture for Silage. There are often times when, owing to a wet season or an early frost, farmers experience difficulty in sav- ing the last cutting of alfalfa, At such times a method for converting alfalfa into silage may bring about a saving of the entire last crop. During the fermentation process which takes place immediately after the silo is filled, the sugar in the green crop is converted by pacterial pro- cesses into a mixture of acids. The most important acids formed in silage aro lactic acid, the same acid which develops in the souring of milk, and acetic acid, the same acid which gives to vinegar its sour taste. Several other acids are also formed in lesser his people will be the first peace con- amounts, but they are of little impor- dition, The prison in which he will lance in normal silage.

Because of this de- ficiency of acid, putrefactive processes set up, and the silage acquires a dis- gusting taste and an odor somewhat resembling the odor of decaying meat.

The silage in alI except the one containing only alfalfa was found to be in perfect condition. The silage made from 1 part cane and 2 parts alfalfa was just as good as that containing larger proportions of cane. Alfalfa 2 parts, mixed with cane I part, makes a highly desirable silage Siloing alfalfa with cane in the man- ner here described is recommended ns a means of saving the last crop of alfalfa when conditions are such that it cannot be made into hay. Wheth- , er or not it will be profitable to silo alfalfa is a question which can only be answered by the farmer himself under the individual conditions. What Is"Practical One of the most useful things we as dairy farmers can learn is a bet ter understanding of what is really practical, About every man limits the meaning of this much abused word to the narrow dimensions of his own experience, What he knows to be practical is practised, that is the end of it. The Babcock test was not "practical" said nine out of ten far- mers in 1886; now, everyone believes in its practicability, 'rhe silo, the pure-bred bull, the growing of alfalfa, the King' system of ventilation, and a host of other well accepted improve- ments in dairy practice have had to run this gauntlet of "practical" in the mind of the average farmer. Seager Wheeler, a Canadian Sas- katchewan wheat farmer, has had an experience in this line that is well set forth in the following brief paragraph which we take from an article in the Country Gentleman: "When Wheeler first began growing wheat from seed selected and bred by hand he was looked upon as a faddist. Many were not quite so charitable Re that in applying names to him and his work. But since he won the $1,000 first prize at the New York Land Show in 1911 for the best wheat raised on the American Continent, and an- other international sweepstakes prize at the 1914 show in Kansas, and in- ternational prizes at various other ex- hibitions in the United States and Canada, they have stopped calling him a faddist, When he began to grow wheat at the rate fo forty-five to eighty bushels an acre on small plots and thirty bo thirty-five bushels on his arge fields, even iii unfavorable sea-. ons, and to sell his grain as seed for wo dollars to three dollars a bushel, Tactically every one decided that he es a practical farmer and a covet. nt business mars," Every step in the way toward great- r profit and greater efficiency in the miners of dairy farming has been ought orb and won against the war- row judgments 01 fannere whose only y was "not practical," This proves eyond controversy -that the only im- rartical man in the business is the ne who is foolish enough to measure e question solely by what he knows d that alone.—Hoard's Dairyman.
