Good Roads Schemes. Messrs, Walter Blackwell • and,john Kneely"'of Walkerton, on Tuesday of last iveek, mounted the County of Bruce construction track, stepped. on the gasoline' and lumbered oyer. to Ripley on business in connection with the Provincial Good Roads System. After sampling the many beverages afforded by.Hurons. and emptying D. T3. McLeod's gaso1ilie,„tank, they pull- ed ,over'to the gravel pit and made connections 'with the crushed stone and gravel elevator that has adorned the western limits of the village for,. so many years. The elevator being mounted on wheels that had not smelt grease since Moses was hid in the bulrushes and the elevator cups being formed out of sheet steel and riveted to an endless chain that ran along an angle steel track, one can,easily imag- ine . the noise and din created when being propelled along, a gravelly road at the .rate of �5. or 20 miles 'an hour; Little wonder that Hugh Nicholson, : ,hen he heard the racket escaped le the tall timber and dict not venture out till the sound had died away •in the distance and the odor of"exhaust- ed gas had floated away on the even- ing breeze. All this 'reminds us that this good roads business .is ,a. white elephant on the shoulders of the tax payers, and was no more needed, es- pecially between the County Town and Kincardine than another tail on Tom Brown's windmill. Nevertheless when the road is finished the farmers will eachhave an auto and spend their time burning gas and busting the speed limit. ' Then it is said that the wild carrot, ox -eye daisy, sow thistle, and, dinel weed will flourish like a green bay tree and the population may live on wild rice and chipmunk steak imported from China.

(Contributed by Ontario Department oP Agriculture, Toronto.) Attempts have been made to' con- trol or direct acid bacteria: Bacillus lactis acidi has long been known to be beneficial in silage making, and its product, lactic acid, is found to the extent of one per cent. in. well made silage. Experience has demote:. strated that the addition of baeill.us lactis acidi in quantity to the fodder as the silos were being filled gave good results, particularly so when the fodder material was past the best stage for making high-grade silage. The addition of the bacillus lactis acidi in quantity to the more or less spoiled fodder provided. an active agent to eheek and override the other ',bacteria present and thereby control the fermentative process, and bring the silage mass to a fairly uniform condition with lactic acid predominant in the.silage. Add. Arafetie Acid Culture. This addition of lactic acid culture to the fodder at the tittle of silo fill- ing is easily accomplished by secur- ing -a small, Quantity of a pure cul- ture for lactic acid, from a creamery. as- 0 beginning. ale pure culture ob- tained from the ciea.'tery is placed in a• three -gallon can of cleanskim milk. This is placed in a warm posi- tion for threerdays, it can then be added to more skimmilk, increasing the bulk sufficiently- to have one gal- lon for each load of material that goes into the. silo. This skimm:iik culture carrying a vast number of bacillus •lactic acidi is sprinkled otter the -cut fodder as the silo filling_ proceeds, Good. Fodder Requires No Culture • Treatment. If the corn is in prime condition for silage making at ,the time 'of en- siling, nothing is to be gainedaby adding culture, however its use . is strongly advised if the Dorn or other' fodder is a bit off in condition due to damage,. through unseasonable weather, delays, etc.—L.

Several methods of sealing the silo after it has ;beenehlled have justified their use. What is wanted is a heavy blanket of material on, top as near air tightas possible. A Minnesota writer says: Some times weeds or heavy green grass are run through the cutter as. a ' finishing layer. Some prefer to jerk the ears from the last two or three loads ,of corn used so no grain is lost, and allow the corn itself to make the air -tight layer needed. to preserve the silage below. At -any rate,it is. - a good practice to tramp the silage' around the edges at intervals of three or four days for about two weeks:' This helps- to prevent the settling away from the wall, which often occurs. - : Spoiling at the surface may be pre- vented entireler'. by cowering the top ti of the silage when filling is complet- ed with 'a layer of tar paper ct.t to fit snugly around the walls and overlapping between the strips. If this is used, itis advisable to weight it with some green material of some kind or with boards. Most farmers, however, think the use of corn itself with the ears removed and with pro- per tramping is more econornic91 than the use of paper. In filling the silo the usual re- commendation. is t� keep the surface higher at the sidesthan in the center and to do most'of the tramping near the wall. The last two .feet had best , be kept about level with the same amount • of tramping in; all parts 'of the silo. :MAKE A COMPOST REAP. Save the Garden Rubbish and Make Cheap and Valuable Manure. Garden waste, decayedi vegetables, dead vines, weeds, and the organic rubbish that collects.dbffut the place during a busy summer may be clean- ed up and put to work again through the agency of a compost heap. Start the Leap by laying down a bed of stable manure whicl} has not been burned or heated. The size of the plot will vary with the amount of refuse to be used; tor ordinary uses, if the bed is made. $ feet long by 6 feet wide and 2 feet deep it will serve the purpose. Over, the .manure spread a two -foot -layer of refuse and cover with another layer of manure.' This last layer need be only a foot lit thickness. Repeat the layers until all the waste has been disposed of and then cover the w]iole with a layer of earth. • 'If it is desired to add to the heap from time to time the top layer 'may be opened and the new material emp- tied into 'the hole thus made. This Is convenient for the suburban home where there is no animal to consume the kitchen waste. T.ir the spring the heap is. well mixed with a fork and the compost Is ready to be spread on the garden plot. The beatingma- nure will effectively destroy any weed` Deed present and will also break down the structure of most of the materials that have been thrown upon the pile, The process may be continued inde- finitely by sieepllt adding enough tnantlre to insureheating. compost• Is espeolaily evaluable for, u's9 in 'hot- beds and cold frames. &�1 li III 111@4111®11161111 111.0 11 ++III I I II'' III1111111iII@6111®III1111I11111111 11111111111111onammatll "h.t e Ca , adia Servic urea Presents the following artists for the IN THE WINGHAM TOWN HALL ON THE EVENING OF • 1 ®':' WEIS"11'Ns Co :edi.,a:n0 E 1a NA EE 1-, ,S i4p1°aa1411 Soloist of'.
