Much care, however, must be taken to expel the air from such hollow-stemmed plants as the small cereal grains by cutting fine and packing firmly. Other crops, of which legumes are examples, are deficient in the fermentable constituents needed for palatable silage. On the other hand, a few “crops, such as the saccharine sor- ghums, have so much sugar that unless cut at a more mature stage they have a tendency to produce sour silage . In most parts of the United States more food material can be obtained from an acre of corn as silage than from an acre of any other crop that can be grown. Corn is more easily harvested and put into the silo than crops like rye, clover, cowpeas or alfalfa, and when cut for silage the maximum quantity of nu- trients is preserved. Experiments have sown that corn, when siloed, lost 15.6 per cent. of the dry matter, against 23.8 per cent. when cut for fodder and cured in the field. Moreover, there is less waste in feeding silage than in feeding fodder, since good silage properly fed is all consumed. When corn is cut for sil- age the land is cleared and left ready for another crop sooner than When the corn is shocked or is husked from :the standing stalk.

C. BROODY HENS LAY NO EGGS HOW TO BREAK THE HABIT ‘When hens become broody they should be ‘broken up” as quickly as possible. The sooner this is done, the sooner they will resume laying. To break a hen of broodiness, she should be confined to a small coop raised off the ground, prefer- ably with a slat bottom. Give her plen- ty of water to drink she may be fed or not, as désired. Not much difference wilt be found in the time required to break her of broodiness, whether she is fed or made to fast. ) Usualiy from three to six days' con- finement will break her, but some hens require 10 to 12 days. The broody hen will be recognized by her inclination to stay on the nest at might, the ruffling of her feathers and her picking at anyone who approaches her and by the clucking noise she makes.
