Far too long if you wash clothes any way except. the Fels-Naptha way. One of - the "greatest blessings *of Fels-Naptha soap is its quick action, When you use Fels-Naptha, a half hour's soaking in cold or lukewarm water will thoroughly loosen the dirt. While the clothes soak you are free to do other work. : Then rub lightly, rinse and the clothes are ready for the line. Fels-Naptha soap robs Monday of it's drudgery. But it must be used the Fels-Naptha way--no boiling, no hot water. Follow directions on the red and green wrapper. . Gips For | Ghe Farmers BY UNCLE JOSH | As a result of the interesting address | given by Mr. Glendenning, at the recent dairy meeting, the following should be | {useful to farmers: { The quality of the silage improves as ithe depth increases. * This is due to the | weight above. The usual silo to-day is | {30 or more feet deep. A larger percent- | age of mouldy and otherwise inferior 4 certain "weight is necessary to com- | press the silage and exclude the air so {2s to Insure its perfect preservation. By! thuikding a deep silo a gredter percentage | {of good silage is obtained, which is, of | course, a matter of economy. Good {practice at present seems to dictate that {the depth should be at least 30 feet. {large percentage of good silos are built |considerably deeper, even 50 to 60 feet. yin, the discussion of foundations, it is Istated that they should extend below the | {frost line, if the earth inside the) {foundation wall be excavated to this | {depth and the floor placed on a level { with the footings, a very cheap addition {to the silo is secured without increasing [the height above the ground. The diffi- {culty in -removing the silage from the} Apart of the silo below 'the. lower door [1s objectionable, and beyond a certain | depth this becomes so great as to more than balance the economy of securing aaditional space in this way. ' Three or four feet up to the first door is not considered objectionable The capacity of a silo varies as the square of the diameter while the $0 This. means that as far as capacity is concerned the silo should be of as large diameter as possible. But there are other limiting factors involved. When silage is left exposed to the air for a short time, more. than a 'day, it 'spoils. Enough must be removed daily so that it | will keep, fresh. In well settled silage, the air dges not penetrate much over | an inch and if an inch and a half or two inches are fed from the daily the silage will remain fresh. In| warm weather the spoiling will take | place much more rapidly than in cold | weather, requiring that silage be re moved from the surface to a great depth each day in order to keep it fre It has been noticed also that air pene- | trates into loose dry silage farther than | it does into that which is: moist and | compact. Thus, it is seen that under some circumstances an inch might be sufficient; but in order to have fresh | silage under all circumstances the silo | should be of such size that approxi-| mately two incRes will be fed from the | surface each day.--Prof. M.

He has been doing this for a number of years, and has not yetilost any of the confidence which so 'many are profess- ing to have lost in:the bacon hog in- dustry. He keeps about thirfy to thirty- five head of pure-bred Yorkshire sows, and a first class herd header. His sows are bred only once each year, and the. pigs are dropped in<late April 'or early May. This allows the young pigs, as well as the sucking sows, to get as much advantage of a field of alfalfa for pastur- age as it is possible to give them. A ration of skim milk with. some meal brings them along well, antil the pas- turage is no longer available in the fall, when they are taken imto the pens, and pushed to a finish as. rapitlly as possible. He is not yet convinced that 'the, business is unprofitable, but is on the other hand thoroughly convinced that it Hog raising is, or should be, an im- portant department, . not necessarily a large one, on evety Ontario farm. While it has proved a very 'poor business to speculate in, speculation is not a com- mdndable adjunct to farming.--Weekly Produce And Prices.
