Show Improved Uniform International Silo Profit Is in the Feeding • ill~ Dairy Farms and Live Stock Feeders Declare Silage Is Essential. STILL WAITING An elderly lady visiting New York nskedoo a policeman what bus she should take t get to a certain place. Be told her to take the "412" bus tbat passed her corner. A few hours later the policeman returnlil'l to find the lady still standing on the corner. "What, haven't you got your bus yet 1" he asked. "It's all right," she said. "This Is the 223d, so 1t w!Jl only be 189 busses trom now."-Patbfind er. · MADE OF ICE -"Bow much did your dad make ln the Ice business?'' "A cool m!lllon.'' The proof of thE' sllo profit is in the feeding. Wisconsin has proved the economy of this. If the value of silage lu the live stock ration was known all over this land as well as it Is In this state, where there Is one silo to every 30 head of cattle, there woulr' be 2,000,000 silos bunt in America in the next three years. All the evidence Is In favor of this feed as a profit-bringing, mille-making and beef.tmllding ration. Corn silage can be grown and put Into the silo for less than $6 a ton. Some reports set the cost figures as low as $5 a ton. This is crediting th~ corn as being worth about 94 cents a bushel. Value of Silage. Experts in different stl.rtes claim !that when butterfat is selling for 45 cents 11 pound, corn silage will bring the dairy farmer $10 11er ton, and when fat steers are selling from $9 to $10 per hundredweight, corn silage is worth from $7 to $8 per ton. 'rhe owner of a silo with a fair yield of crop can receive a value from his corn made Into silage of $70 to $80 an acre when fed to steers and $100 when fed to good dairy cows. It has been proved that, with dairy animals, the feeding ot silage saves from 8 to 15 cents on the cost of producing a pound of butter, and from 30 to 50 cents on producing 100 pounds of milk. I<'or beef production the sav· fng produced by silage is about $1 per 100 pounds of gain. It Is true that the horse is decreasIng in numbers, but the cattle census must be kept up and will be kept up by the steady demand for milk and meat. It Is probable that the values placed upon silage as given above will be considered too low before next spring. Make Study of Silo.

Grafting Relationships Not Clearly Explained (Ptepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) One of the facts of plant life on which scientists would like to have more complete Information deals with the relationship of plants within which As Guy E. grafting may be done. Yerkes. of the United States Department of Agriculture, remarked recent· ly, the limits of this botanical relationship rtre not clearly defined. "Varieties within the same species," he said, "may be expected to unite; for example. all varieties of European pear will grow on Freach pear stock. Often different species within the same genus w!ll make satisfactory unions. As an example, most botanical species of apple (II!alus) will grow on each other. On the other band, cherry will not nnite with peach, although both are placed by many botanists in the genus Prunus. In m.my cases, plants more distantly related may be grafted and will grow, as hawthorn upon apple and firethorn upon mountain ash. The citrus fruits are related closely enough so that it Is by no means uncommon to see a single stock, which has been grafted, producing different fruits on different limbs, lemons on one, oranges on another, and perhaps grapefruit and tangerines as well." Fall Plowing Will Make Enlarged Crop of Oats On average lnnd oats will usually make a larger crop when the ground Is plowed shallow In the fall. One is usually less lik!!ly to get a good stand of clover when It Is sown In oats on fall or spring plowed ground unless the land has been disked and rolled to get It lnto a firm seedbed, than when the land was only dlsked for oats. The surface of the ·plowed ground will dry out deeper than on dlsked land and the clover seed Is not so likely' to have as good moisture conditions !or germinating on plowed ground as on dlsked ground. A good rolling will overcome this tendency to a large extent however. Plant Food Will Make Crops More Pleasing • On soils that are full of plant food, the crops will grow quickly and more "Your secretary told me you are very succulent.
