USEFUL FOR WINTER MULCH Leaves Are Not Only Serviceable ° When Placed About Plants, But Also Good for Litter. Save the leaves. They are useful for winter mulch about garden plants, for poultry to serateh in and, plled and rotted down, make a fertilizer for the garden. It is worth | while to save them if possible, hoe s SOME SILO SAYINGS. "Save the grain" is the motte now, Using silage to feed the cow. Stave off the high costs of dairy feeds with a stave silo. Don't be satisfied with the ab- stract idea of having a sile; make it concrete. It csn't rot out, blew down or burn up. You like camned fruits and vegetables during the winter. Silage, says the United States department of agriculture, is the dairy cow's canned stuff. If you feed only the ears you lose nearly half the foed value in the corm crop. Turn the leaves and stalks into silage and save that 40 per cent. After all is sald, the fact re- mains that the two necessary war foods srepbread and milk. For winter milk production nothing equals the silo: ® . . . . - » . . * . . . * . ° . ® . . . ° . - . - . . * * * ® . ® » . » * ® ® ® TILTING GATE QUITE SIMPLE Inexpensive Arrangement Operated by Weights--Eliminates Shocks and Wear on Mechanism, The Scientific Americap, in illustrat Ipg and describing a gate, inverted by J.
