One man built his for $4.45. .A. small pit silo can be built for a cash expenditure of $5 and a large one for $15 to $25. The pit silo has made sure and regular profits from small farms in the dry land districts of the southwest. Any farmer, no matter how poor, can have one. Forage crops never fail in any year. They can be preserved any length of time in the silo in a palatable form and with little loss. Silage fed to dairy cows with other dry land feeds insures a steady cash in- come every week in the year from cream, and the skimmilk fed with dry land grains to pigs and henst asseres additional cash. The pit silo is no new thing. It has been in use, in isolated cases, for years, in widely separated states. A com- munity in Iowa, a farmer in central Illinois, another in I Miss is s 1p pi, and others, have used pit silos for some time and found them satisfactory. But it is a new comer in the semiarid ag- ricultural regions of the southwest, and its appreciable Influence upon. farming there dates back no further than two years.

Scattered over the drier farming districts in Colorado, Kansas, Okla- homa, Texas and New Mexico there are something more than 2,000 big boles in the ground, dug for the spe- cific purpose of fighting the effects or drought along lines that have already been proved successful, writes Robert H. Moulton. These holes vary from ten to twenty feet in diameter and from twenty to fifty feet in depth. They are lined with concrete. Some of them have concrete extensions above the surface of the ground. They look exactly like what they are —holes in the ground. They suggest great cisterns, but their distance from any roof shed which might catch suffi- cient water to fill them even if the rains were heavy enough proves they are not cisterns. They are pit silos, and into them is packed the silage made from corn, Kaffir, milo and sorghum, which in the fall and through the winter not only keeps live stock alive, but fattens beef steers and causes milk cows to give large quantities of rich milk. And their number is increasing rapidly. It is only natural that a farmer without one of these holes in the ground, see- ing with his own eyes that his neigh- bor has turned practically worthleae Farm and Garden 0000 0 0 0 0 0•0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 TILLING PEACH ORCHARDS. They Should Be Cultivated Throughout Their Entire Life. [Prepared by the United State's depart-, ment of agriculture.] Generally speaking, a peach orchard should be tilled throughout its ,eutive life, beginning with the first season after the trees are planted. If for the sake of economy or for other reasons, it is impracticable to work the entire area between the trees it is usually feasible to confine the tillage for the first year or two to a relatively ,nar- row strip along each row. But the British Navyr Biscuit At your ocers width of the tilled strip should be ex- tended each season, and by the third year the entire surface should receive attention. By that time in the life of a peach tree the roots are extending beyond the spread of the brandies and the entire space between the rows where the trees have been planted the usual distances apart is rapidly be- coming tilled with stnall rootlets and root hairs through which moisture and plant food in solution are taken up. Under what may be termed normal or standard conditions in most peach growing districts the advice applies generally to begin the tillage in the spring as soon as the soil is in suitable condition to work. But in the case of bearing orchards some of the wisest 1.1111111111111.1.1111.1•3 Garden Rolle', 1... Hand Use.

Conditions should determine what the nature of the tillage shall be. If the soil M hard or if there is a cover crop that has made considerable growth, it will be necessary to turn the soil with a plow and follow with a harrow, entivator or such other tillage implement as best suits the needs of individual orchards. If the soil is light plowing in the spring can sometimes be omitted as some type of cultivator 'will be found adequate to pulverize thoroughly the soil to a sufficient depth. Whatever the details followed raay be, they should be so directed as to keep the surface as level as poss.!, ble. For instance, if the soil is plowed toward the trees at one time it should be turned away from them at a later plowing. In general the orchard should be one over with some kind of a tillage implement often enough to keep the Soil thoroughly light and loose, or, in other words, in the condition or a dust mulch for a depth of at least three or four Inches. If a crust forms on the surface or if the dust mulch becomes compact evaporation of the moisture that is in the soil will become exces- sively rapid and an unnecessary and perhaps serious loss of moisture which is needed by the trees will occur. As •• the surface is made compact by rain, it • follows that tillage is advisable as a • rule after each rainy period or after • • heavy showers; also as much more • frequently as the impaired condition of • • the dust mulch may make necessary.
