If the dairyman la to keep hla dairy utensils absolutely clean he muet eternize them daily. This Is Just ae necessary in the email dairy ae In the large one, writes F. L. Austin In the Country Gentleman. The dairyman who milks only a few cows cannot afford au expensive equipment in his dairy room. Many who do a profitable but modest business believe that a sterilizer is an expensive luxury. Such Is not the case. , A sterilizer may be made at a cost of not more than $7 or $8.

All joints should be riveted and soldered closely. This will make a steam-tigh- t box. with the exception of the cracks about the door, and will hold enough steam pressure for all practical purposes In iterllizing. The door should be not quite three Feet square and should be cut to lap about an inch over all four sides of Ae opening. Ordinary heavy, double-itra- p hinges may be used, fastened with either bolts or rivets. A bolt atfl itaple fastener bolds the door shut. The steam may be piped into the top and one side as shown In the illustration. A few boles punched in the bottom will drain off the condensed team. It should be turned on slowly at first, and then gradually be worked up to full force with 30 or 40 pounds of steam in the boiler. A thor-lugsterilization will be accomplished m from ten to fifteen minutes. The AND CARE Whtra Grass is Allowed to Rsmain Spread on Ground Water Runs Off Without Injuring Crop. Corn Is ready to be cut for silage when the grain is In the dent and glazed, but can still be broken with the thumb nail, says a University of Missouri press bulletin. At this stage under normal conditions the two or three bottom leaves will be turning brown and the shuck will be turning yellow at the end. There Is greater danger of putting up silage too dry rather than too moist, in a stave silo the staves should be tightened up to exclude the air and generally loosened a little after the silage swells the staves. The inside wall of a concrete silo should be washed with a thin mixture of cement and water every two or three years. This fills the pores and keeps the air from the silage. It will take at least six teams to keep the average silage cutter busy. Corn should not be cut down too far ahead or it w ill dry out too mich. Two men should work in the silo distributing the silage with forks. Where a silage distributor is use one man is sufficient. They should keep the silage higher at the walls than in the center and should continually trump the silage next to the walls. The tramping is especially to keep out the air. When possible allow' the machine to stand two or three days and refill to make use of all the capacity. Finish filling the silo by running in a load of grass and weeds. This will rot and seal the top and prevent having to throw out the same amount of spoiled silage. The silage should feel wet after It is cut in the silo. If the corn is very mature when cut and is therefore too dry add water. A small stream may be run into the blower from a barrel or tank. It is especially Important that the silage be well tramped. Tha blower should be run a few minutes every morning In order to clear the atmosphere before anyone enters tha silo. The above instructions cover the important points in filling a silo.
