Silos have become one of the fixed appointments of successful dairy and stock farms where economy in feed Is necessary to achieve profitable results. . The expensd of a silo often prevents its use by farmers who feel that they cannot spare the money for such an equipment. The intelligent 'feeder who has carefully investigated the ad- vantages of a silo is the man loudest in its praise. It has become recog- nized that high class results in feed ing live stock cannot 'consummated without feeding silage. Deleterious results seldom follow feeding ensilage. If such results do follow it comes from either overfeed- ing or from spoiled silage. Silage is recognized as of great economic value in feeding dairy cows. Where dairy farming is made a specialty but few dairies are operated without the \ use of silage. It is equally valuable as a ration for young cattle and has' decid. ed merits when fed to steers being fattened for market. Sheep and swine \ , thrive on silage. As a part of the ra- ' tion of roughage it could be generally utilized for all classes of live stock. The dairy cow could be fed forty pounds of silage daily , while thirty pounds would be aration for a beef animal. A silo enables the farmer to econ- omize in space in the storage 'of feed. It requires double the space to store the same feed nutriments In dry roughage as in silage. The silo can be constructed of re-enforced cement and become a permanent improvement that will cost nothing for maintenance. A silo enables the farmer to save hia feed with the minimum loss of nutri- ents. Feed cured in the open air suf- fers a loss of about 25 per cent of nu- triments , while ensilage loses about 10 per cent of nutriment. Silage has been comprehensively tested at nearly all the agricultural experiment stations with uniform fa vorable results. It insures to the dairyman succulent feed at all times- an important condition in milk produc- tion , as succulent feed is best for dairy cows.-Goodall's Farmer. . Farminsr as a Business. Science has shown that where there' is a farm that does not pay , the fault lies not In the land , ' but in the man who is in charge. Good or bad farm- ing results from definite reasons. Suc- cess results from painstaking , season- able operations ; the application of practical knowledge which has been gained by studying the requirements which are known will bring success. Lack of ambition results in indif- ferent work on the farm. Taking full ' advantage of the resources of any farm , and following intelligent , up-to- date methods of farming will in due time mean steady and often very xapid improvement in yield of crops. In a sense , the resources of a farm vary with locality ; but in the main there are many identical conditions on very many farms. The farmer who works To establish a well-set meadow , aims to get the hilly , washable , waste lands set in grass ; utilizes the rocky rough lands by setting out fruit trees ; ditches the low lands and reclaims the swamps ; improves the stony fields by picking off the surface stones so that crops will . take the places the stones occupied , uses some of the ways of taking advantage of the resources of a farm. The farmer who owns a big farm in very many instances does not secure crops that average as well as the farm- er whose farm rarely exceeds sixty : or seventy acres. The reason is the large farmer cannot , with the force ! he usually keeps , properly look after everything , seeing that seasonable work is done and that each farming operation Is well attended to. Each of these is a ' great success factor in farm- ing. Hasty work means , invariably , some neglect or work indifferently done. ' , Waste of Feed. Wherever cattle or hogs are fed there is a great waste valuable feed resulting from the feeding ' of too much corn.or feeding corn out of , balance and proportion to protein or nitrogen- ous food. The time has come In the high price of corn to call a halt to this wasteful method of feeding. To fully utilize feed proper digestion must go on , and when corn is fed out of bal- . ance with nitrogenous foods it is not all digested and assimilated. These are very important facts , now that corn Is high \ in price and is likely to stay so. What , then , is the food that must take the place of part of the corn fed in makIng- pork ? That is the I question that should \ be carefully I studied and heeded by farmers. Cheap- : er production through more econom- ical use of our feeds is an Important matter and must .be so recognized sooner or later by our farmers.-Kan- sas Farmer. Breed and 'eed. To cheapen the cost of production is to increase the price of dairy prod- ucts ! ; and the only way to 'lower the cost Is to feed and ibreed. ] \ Intelligently. The scrub bull Is the bane and curse of the dairy industry In Missouri and the Southwest , as It Is everywhere / I 9 I . . I . - else. And it should also be remem- bered that the best cow In the world may be ruined as a milk producer by Improper feeding. If you do not own a thoroughbred bull with good milk stock in his pedigree , buy one at once. Get out of the old rut , and start right. Go to work now.and build up your herd. The chances are that 50 per cent of those . who read this paragraph have a lot of cows that are hardly pay- ing for their keep. But , by breeding to the right sort of a sire , and keep- Ing the heifer calves from only the best milkers , and feeding Intelligently , any man who reads this can have a herd 300 in of 800-pound producing cows five years.-MIssourI Dairyman. The Profitable Dairy Cow. Some people seem to keep and mill cows ' sfllmply because others keep them , without any regard to whether the cows are paying a profit. , For a cow to be worth keeping she must pay & profit on the feed and care given her. For her to be really worth while , shi should produce 100 per cent more mIlk than her feed costs , Including pasture , , of course. It does not matter so much what breed a cow belong to. Simply be . cause she Is of Jersey , or Holstein blood , is not positive proof that she Is more than paying her way. A com' mon cow may be doing better than sjhe. The only way to find out what o she is doing is to weigh and test her milk at regular and frequent intervals. , Let her stand on her merits and not . on her ancestry. One leason why some cows do nOt , pay greater profit Is that "they are not fed all the nutritious feed they wil . eat. This is especially the case with many farmers in winter , when pas- tures are dead. Many : of them keep their producing cows on half feed when they are not on pasture , and still expect the cows to make up the loss. If a cow Is worth keeping at all she Is worth feeding all she can be induced to eat. If it Is not found profitable to purchase extra feeds so that the cows may have all that they will con- sume , then it is best to keep only as many cows as feed can be provided for on the farm. Make the CAW produce all the milk she can by good care and feed , and do not let her go dry until the time she is ready to turn dry. Keep the best heifers from the best cows. - Jour - nal of Agriculture. Corn Breeding. The Illinois experiment station hai Just published the results of its ef forts to breed corn for high 'and low protein content and for high and low oil content. Ten generations of corn have been bred for these different pur- poses by selection of seed having the .desired qualities. In the effort to in- crease the protein contentthe average has been changed from 10.92 per cent to 14.26 per cent In the effort to de < rease It from 10.92 per cent to 8.64 per cent. Individual ears have been found which contain as high as 17.79 per cent of protein and as low as 6.13 per cent , as high as 8.59 per cent of oil and as low as 1.60 per cent. But the high protein corn has been in every case less productive than any of the other three and in some cases decidedly so. It has also been less productive as a rule than corn grown for no particular purpose-just corn. The conclusion is reached from some plots that , while this continued selec- tion for a single purpose to the neglect of all other considerations has resulted in lower yields , yet this is not a neces- sary result. In some cases high pro- tein corn has yielded well as compared with standard varieties bred for no particular purpose. Saving Half the Concrete. A farmer of Morgan County , 111 . found that he could save more than half the usual amount of concrete in paving the lot around his horse barn , by using defective vitrified brick which he bought at the factory at 35 cents per load. Laying the brick on edge , as for a pavement , and leaving large cracks between , the concrete was ' used simply to fill these cracks and all uneven places and make a level surface. The surface was left rough and this pavement has proven satis factory after much wear. Poultry Notes. Fowls love to thrash out a bundle oi wheat or oats , and it does one good to step around to the door of the poultry , house and listen to the merry chatter while the fowls are digging in the straw. Some farmers neglect the 25 to 50 cents that the battening of cracks in the coop would cost , and each month feed a dollar's worth of extra corn in order to supply the animal heat needed. The answer to the question , Does winder poultry pay ? depends in a large measure upon where your hens are roosting. If on the bare branches of a tree , on the northeast corner' of the barn , there can "be no doubt about it. There is a disposition to sit around and sleep in winter. Hens will drop into that habit if you do not help them to stir around and work for their lIv- ing. That is why a scratching .shed Is go6d , and why plenty ; of litter keeps the fowls healthy. . Raise your chickens outdoors at all seasons of the. year , give them every opportunity to get fresh air and sun- shine. Keep them in small flocks until they roost regularly. Keep the roofs of all brooders and coops water tight ; dampness ip fatal to chickens , old or young. If coops leak , 'cover with tar roofing or canvas painted with several coats of white lead.- Farm Journal. . . / . w. . . . * SILHOUETTES OF WESTEBff CANADA. The man from Iowa began to talk land before the train was well out of the C. N. R. depot in Winnipeg. The talk began in rather wide circles. The rush to the land , the bumper crop , the system of summer fallowing pur- sued in the semi-arid districts , were all discussed , and then , with a sort of apologetic smile the Iowa man said : "I'm a bit interested In this country myself. Some of the men down home got a few sections up here along this line , and I'm going to have a look at them. Never been up in Canada be- fore" ( it is curious how these mid- . : Western Americans pronounce the name of the Dominion as if it was , . "Can'dy" ) , "but if it looks good we will be up to stay next fall. " "You see , it's like this " said the . man from Iowa , quite manifestly con- , tinuing an argument that had been : going on in his mind for some time. I "Back in our State land , has become ! dear. Anybody wanting to sell can get $70 or $80 an acre for it , and ev ery farm that's offered is snapped up. In Saskatchewan we have Just as good land that cost us $11 and $12 , so that a man can take up five or six times as much there as in Iowa on the same in- vestment of mbney. "It isn't the money , though , . - that brings most of us up from Iowa. I'm i not sure that money would be enough. The 'invasion' is a family affair. We have no chance of keeping our sons around us back home. They have to leave the farm and go into the big cities of the neighboring States to get work. To keep them on the farm and In touch with us , we come up here and make little colonies with the chil- dren around us , on homesteads or bought land. This makes it . easier for the farmers back there in Iowa to get . land for the stay-at-homes. The famI- lies that come to Canada are kept to- gether and the families that buy the farms they leave are kept together , too. There won't be any slackening of the rush , either , for they still raise big families back in Iowa. " One could almost see the mental process of this typical American farm- er in defending a step that meant a new flag , a new allegiance , a new land , and new associates. To abandon "Old Glory" and the Declaration of Inde- pendence for a good thing in cheap land would hardly be playing the game , but to go out into Saskatche- wan to "keep the family together" was another and a quite higher motive. Why seek too closely to analyze the reasons for the greatest land trek In the history of America ? It is enough to know what the sons of the frontiers- men of Iowa , and Kansas , and Minne- sota-the best blood of the mid-West -are pouring into the Canadian West in an ever-increasing stream , and are learning that "God Save the King" and "My : Country , 'Tis of Thee " are sung to the same tune.-Toronto ( Ontario ) Globe.
