Silage for Young Stock. Hoeurge-Ceop Ineuranco.
Several yomis 'ago a breeder Galled
my attention to the value of mien
Oilage for the rearing and developing
of young eeeeic Naming two forms,
one eel:loped with eiloe and the
other not he had an opportunity to
see the advantage of silage for this
purpose, I wee' 'greatly surprised to
Rao the difference in size and qual-
ity of the •young stock that were
liberally fed corn silage with alfalfa
hay. They were not .only larger but
were hi tetter condition. This con-
viewedme that the silo should be
used more for this purpose, .and I
have since that time often found ex-
amples to prove the value .of allege
for young growing an!analq, Mel
breeder of pare -bred stock, whether
dairy or beef cattle, has much need
for allege in the economic develop-
ment of his herd. The cost of the
product, -whether 'Beef or milk, is the
principal item of expense for the
breeder to consider and in this :lie'
Of high-priced hay and grain, the
cost of the ration becomes the most
important item and the ane on which
depends the profit for the breeder.
Any inan who keeps ten head or
more of tattle will find a silo an
economic equipment on hits farm. It
is necessary for -nineetenths• of Our
milk and .cream producers to grow
and develop their young stook and
the silage whiell furnishes the suc-
culent ration -to the mileb cows will
also form the best kind of eation foe
the young steak.
Liberal feeding is the only profit-
able kind, for there is no money in
hall feeding stock, An animal must
be boarded and if linty a boarding
ration be given there ds no profit but
really a lops. It is that part of the
ration which is over and above the
food of maintenance, Or board, from
which we derive our profit. On this
basis, an animal win earn money in
propoellion to the 2.1)101111ii Of food
she consumes, and this is largely
true. Good feeding is supplying ani-
mals with their required nutniment
at the lowest possible cost. Anyone
with plenty of money can Seed an
animal well, but to feed an animal
vi ell and economically requires
knowledge of the subject. The two
great food elements which are neces-
sary are I:1MM as carbohydrates,
and protein. Corn silage as our choke -
est form. of carbohydrate, and clovers,
or the legumes, furnish our protein
in the cheapest forms, Young stock,
from the time they are weaned, will 1
make a splendid growth and 'develop-
ment on corn silage and clover or al-
falfa hay without any grain, and this
ration is a cheap one and within the
reach of practically every breeder.
The silo will prove of great econ-
omy not only in the growing and de-
veloping of young stock, but also thel
growing of colts or maintenance ofl
idle horses. Silage lies been likened'
to pastime and it is very propel:11;1
considered from this viewpoint when,
used for the,7growing and develop-:
ing of all our live stock.
"I con .inake it rain' Whenever
want, to," said a prosperoure looking
farmer In reply to a -seedy individeoll
who ett the ?lose of a leethee on soils
and ,orope had deoleeed, "Let them
talk all they rleese and give las an
the 'advice they want to, ' but • just
give rena plenty of rein' and MT get a
Whet did these :nee mean, and
what effeet would their direatly 'op-
posed eoursessof reasoning, 12, wide-
spread, have upon the agricultural
production of the widen et this time?
To be *ire, almost any of us 'can
grow, bumper crops when conditions
are ;Met right. To do so is no teeof
our ability. Thereal test comes when
things•go clead wrong. • •
Mien of all the adverse conditions
there is nothingenierti disaelirous than
a drought. ' Thb "eonhinued "glaesy
sky" is not conduelve'either to crop
yields or cheerfulness'. 'Even the most
optimistic .of us find ip exceedingly
difficia te see the proverbial silver
lining when there 'are no clouds. It
is then that we wieh for crop insur-
ance, for 'the ability to make it rain.
Many costly experiments have
been conducted in the hope of dis-
covering some method of producing
precipitation. Fake eperators and
fly-by-night folk have from time to
time proclaimed -their ability to pro-
duce rain on order, and ai a result
have reaped -a rich harvest of coM
from the over -credulous. Still, men
wait ,in vain for showers, and in
every country, drought takes heavy
toll—sometimes in every decade.
What, then, did Mr. Prosperous
Farmer mean when he said that he
could make it rain whenever be
wanted to? Being a‘ sensible man,
he tould not have meant that he had
the ability to cause clouds to gather
and rain to come pouning down. What
he really referred to was the mois-
ture in the soil, the moisture that he
had carefully conserved against the
season of need. The' "deltic cloud"
that this men relies upon ie just
under the surface, not far above it.
It is the sail—and good Zell is the
most satiefactory tenbetitute for a
shower.
What Mr. Prosperous Farmer
meant woe that through the use of
legumes and green manures, through
approved crop rotations, with a lib-
eral supply of humus and with the
right kindof cultivation, Ns 'crops
continue to grow right along. •
All of us have witnessed the with-
ering work of a continued dry spell
on thin land that had year after year
been robbed of its ferbility. Humus
is crop insurante, but 'we must not,
tlirough bed management allow the
policy to lapse. If we Insist upon
working the ground too wet, or if,
in cultivating our corn, we ridge it
up in rows that are too high, and
drought comes later in the summer,
the crop will suffer.
Al.l of us must exercise common
sense and be ready to eccopt every
truth that science teaches. We must
learn how to coneerve moisture—to
make it rain so that crops will not
grow thirety.

The cow that is hard to milk is
such a source of annoyance and loss
that a prospective buyer never should
neglect to sit down anct milk the ani-
mal before he buys her. Some coevs
have such small openings in their
teats that the milk comas with diffi-
culty in line streams; or the milk
may spray from the teat or come
freely foe a monied or two, and then
suddenly stop.
A sore or scab on the end of a
teat may cause the trouble; or warty
greivths lessen the calihre of the
openings. In some cases we may feel
a tumor or wart -along the course of
the milk -duct, either close to the tip,
part way up, Or near the udder. ,
Such cases should be looked for
when a cow is hard to milk. In some
cases the cow "holds up" her milk
as the result of some nervous der-
angement, Such a case usually

larged by daily introduction of a

days. If this tveatment is not suc-
cessful, sterilized teat plugs or dil-
ators of hard rubber or lead may be
left in the teat ducts between rank-

A Bean Disease.
Bean crops, • more especially • in
Quebec and the Maritime Provinces
and sometimes in Ontario aa well,
suffer through a daseese called an-
thracnose, which attacks the stern,
leaves, pods and seeds, causing dart;
spots, resulting in greatly decreas-
ing yields And en inferior quality of
crop. When infected seed has been
planted and the weilther le wet 'or
cloudy the disease in the growing
plant develops rapidly, Coniaelerable

times marked only‘by bare stalks or

• Tho Best Crop Rotation.
What is it? No mem can tell in
advance, far forms ^differ in size and
soil; farmers differ 4'n knowledge and
skin.; ceasons differ.; pricei .change
and labor problems vaty.
A good four-year rotation for
grain farming is wheat, corn oats
and clover, with an extra oatcli. crop
of clover seeded eon the :wheat land
and plowed under the next spring. for
COM Only the seed crop ef clover
should be haryeeted the fourth year;
and all produce should be returned
to the land except the grain ana
clover -seed. WheiM hay is made for
the work animals,•manure should be
returned, This system, with the addi-
tion of phosphate (and of limestone
where needed),. will maintain the fer-
tility of the soil. -
In live -stock farming, two crops of
corn followed by oats with clover
seeding, and a full clove crop the
fourth year, is a good rotation, and
if all the produce is used for feed
and bedding, and manure eeterned
with but little -nisei the supply of
organie matter and nitrogen will be
maintained nearly as well as'in grain
farmings-quite as well if timothy is
seeded with the doven and one or two
additional yeai's allowed for pasture.
Only halt as much phosphate will be
required as in the grain syetem but
limestone should also be used where
needed to meke and keep the soil
sweet.
For any one to believe that crop
rotation alone will maintain thefer-
tility of the soil reveals gross ignore

that the rotation' of crops will no
meta- maintain the fertility of the
eoil then the rotation of the check-

nay, -there were no available funds.

The speaker indicated a large easy
rocker. OI went to a torniture store
which was selling out, determined to
bay a new one, ;Hither.the reports of
bargainswere exaggerated or the
best things Were gone, At any rate,
I COMO home without a them. As
father .had 'alaiays 'declared that ch.-,
to he 'the most comfortable in the
house, we decided to reupholster it.
Don't you remernber how it looked?
It Was covered with black leather,
very much scarred an,d worn: The
aPrings of the seat and back were
all soggy and loose."
"I never would have thought it
the same chair," .declared the visitor.
"How 414 you do such splendid
vv'olkr
"In the first place we took off the
old cover ancl used it as a pattern to
cot the new. In Ws way we could
tore on the exact amount to bey
and bed nothing left ever. In taking
of( the cover, we did it very carefully,
taking particular notice of how it
had been pet on. Then we tightened
the springs, not al easy job, I'll ad-
mit. We tacked strips of stout; can-
vas frenn one side .of the frame to
the other, one of us holding the
springs., in place while the other
stretched the canvas, Under the
seat we used etrips of thin wood slip-
ped under the frame to hold the
springs oxtail the canvas was securely
tacked. We tacked a equate of can-
vas over the entire wider side of the
seat to catch the bits of excelsior
which these' old chairs seem to shed.
One reason you did not reeognii.ze the
chair was because we have covered
and padded the wooden fronts to the
arms and the "open-work" panel be-
low the Beat.
"The other chairs look new. What
did you do to them?" asked her
friend, who had been paying close
attention.
"They were badly scratched., so we
took off the varnish with ammonia,
and .s.anelpapered them smooth. They
are waleat, you see, so all the finish
they needed was a coat of paraffin°
oil, well rubbed in with a rag. All
these taEks wore fief:led before we
put on the new tapestry. Wo took
reins in selecting the pat-
Lerp, and I think the combination sf
heowns and greens harmonizes very
nicely with the other furnishings.
You see how. we out the material so
that the back and seat would come
lengthwise of the materital. By
stretching each piece and pinning it
o the stuffittg befere tacktng the•
edges, it WEIS not difficult to do neat

"It looks as if an expert had done
it," said her visitor admiiringly, "Now
tell me abeut that table. I know you
did not mike that over."
"Yes, but we diti, It wee lightoak,

room. You see the piano, music cab -
Met and' two 'chairs are mahogany,
the book cases, couch and library
table are cheery, and the woodwork
is as neat like both woods as we could
get it. We had this fueiture when
the houze wee built and have tried to
keep to harmonious colons, As you
know, we use the one end of the
roam for a dining room, and the light
ode table never looked well. Besides
we -had to keep a cloth on it because
the topellad long gum lost its polish,
Our auceeee etiith the cluTir inspired
us to refinish the table. We founcl
it poseible to . apply an oil stain
(matching the woodwork in color) to
the legs of the table without remov-
ing the varnish. What; little varnish
there wail left on the .top, WAS re-
trieved with ammonia."
i;aTitst how Nal you do that?" inter-
rupted the visitor, "I may want to
make over ma' tob:e."
"Apply coilivary household am-

with the change."
The hostess paused, then began
again as she saw her visitor looking
et the rage.. "They do look like new,
but they, too, are made over. We
leaened of a firm who makes them
out of old carpet, even ming old
Ttlff' rugs and woolen pieces of all
kinds of material, They dye them
any shade you with.' We like that
moos -green. It is warm end rich -
looking. However, at eeemed so very
'green' that it was necessory to adel
moreof the same color in the other
furnishings in order to keep the rug
from 'coming up and hitting you in
the face,' itis someone expreszed it.
Consequently, we made a green cash-

' cayierecl the two stools with the same.

"So much brawn and green made
the furniehings a little dark. Notice
what we have done to lighten the
effect. Over one book 0:1:4O is a

On the other book 0050 are two brass
candlestioks in front of an oil paint-
ing in dull colors which Is framed in
gilt. And I must tell you about those
gold frames," the haste.ss interrupted
herself. "The one on the water-
color was eepecially black and dingy.
So we washed it and then a.pplieci
coat of gold ennmel. There is an-
other in the hall 'which has been re-
juvenated."
"I thought it was a new frame,"
Sali4 the guest in astonishment.
"Then you see how well the tall
1green jar looks on the dining table
with the copper nut bowl beside it,"
continued her hostess. ',There are the
brass andirons, and on - the lintel
against the reddish brown bricks of
the chimney is a copper tray with
braes handles, and two small brass
bowls. Yea see how each of these
catch the light and reflect it. They
help to melee the room lighter on
dark days and at night."
' The \leiter drew it long breath and
nodded her head approvingly. "I see
what you meari. And I know I can
rearrange Mir acesseasions to better
advantaige niter having seen this.
'Even if I don't happen to have so
much brass as you have, I can lase
the tighter colored articles to better
advantage. You have done wonders
by using just what you had."
"It was not 'all accomplished in 0
cloy. You must livo with things and
make many changes before seeing
their possibilities and arrange them
to the -beet advantage., However, it
is wonderful how much More livable
some rooms can be made by a new
arrangement of furniture, and a lit-
tle stain and polish, backe.d up by a
himiey thought."
"I never had thought this room
needed any improvement. It is so
nice to have plenty of windows: .4,-,,

asked the visitor, noticing their n13-
sence.
"That is another of my convictions

deelared hoe hostess. "I am tired of
Weashing curtains and I want to see

"It's a text for all discouraged
