The results which have oo .| veen obtained by those men has caused them to wonder why they have not put them up before, as after they have been once used they saw the wonderful advantage which they offer.

Thus it is hoped that every dairyman who has 10 or more cows and is without a silo will look into the matter of building one, and plan his area of corn this spring to Al it this coming fall.

Experiment Suggested for Farmers of Connecticut. Hither as hay or for pasturs, clover is probably more highly re n any other forage plant, sa 8. As hay it should he cut as. it begins to bloom, leaving a stub- le eight to twelve inches high and the aftermath religiously left to re- seed the ground for successive seasons. A similar principle must be kept in mind. when using melulotus alba as a pasture plant. It should be pastured very sparingly the first season—never until 12 or 13 inches high—and the second season the stock should be withheld from it by fences in time to make sure of its re-seedinz. Properly cut and cured every rumi- nating animal will eat the stalks up clean, thuogh they be as large as lead pencils, and it is exceedingly nutri- tious. Mr, Wing suggested an ea and very practical experiment for the far- mers of Connecticut, namely, that they choose some romgh, profitless ture ground, no matter how high, c a just Jong, lime it thoroughly, har it thoroughly (without plowing) and im- | mediately inoculated and seed down with a little phosphorou: If this suc- ceeds, pasture grasses, especially bluegrass, may be added, say the sec ond or third August, folowing by fus ther harrowing and these wil grad ally run out the sweet clover and wil have a splendid pasture, tially far richer than before, s without expense, beyond the amelior- ating lime. bay which Is saved, which otherwise | v 3 would have been féd out, brings the | SCCOND QUARTER IN EGG LAYING CONTEST More Sprinting In Production Ex- pected in Next' Three Months The hens in the layinz contest ning the sec quarter.
