These field men are to work under your direction and to carry on dem- onstrations in docking. castrating and siwaring until the end of May.

The four fun- damental .t‘actors in a silo are strength to resist the pressure the silage exerts: close construction so as to exClude all air; smooth, straight walls so {as flat to impede the settling of the silage in the silo; and a handy means of getting out the silagi“. As regards design, the larger diameter silo costs less per ton capacity than the smaller, both being the same height; of two silos of the same diameter. the higher gives a greater capacity per foot height than the lower. The silo which provides proper storage for silage at the least cost. per ton is the silo to build. We have sent out some material. The rest will go as soon as more seeds arrive.

The Department of Agriculture wel- comes you. (Experimental Farms Note.) The time has long since passed when a silo ceased 'to be an experi- ment. No matter in what section of this broad country of ours a dairy farmer may be located, he can use a silo and some form of silage to ad- vantage. Briefly, the advantage of haying a silo lies in 'the fact that it m'oyides cheap, succulent, nutritious and palatable feed throughout the winter months and even during the dry spells in summer if necessary. This in turn makes for healthy, thrifty cattle and economical pro- duction of milk. \ Silage may he made from quite a large \ariety of farm crops. includ- ing corn. suntlmvers. peas, out and \‘eteh mixture. sweet clover, red clo- ver and some of the grasses.

The other crops mentioned all make good sil- age it’ ensiled in proper condition, but do not yield as heavily per acre. Mixtures of tl‘1ese latter creps would make as goml and in some cases better silage than one single crop. particularly it' corn forms a fairly large part of the mixture. in Grey. A large number are there- fore not interested, but that number is decreasing Quickly. We are receiving new applications yet. It is not too late for teachers to send in orders.

Those who-know most about the com- piex structure of the‘skin appreciate the care that must be taken in deciding what is the safest. purest and best dressing to apply in times of accident or disease. Much scientific thought and experi- ment was expended in the search for an ideal natural healing substance. but it has acmally been found at last. in Nature’s own storehous». of medicinal herbs.

This may be overcome by thorough tramping in the silo and by moistening the material with water when filling the silo, if it is too dry. Better silage results in a silo filled to the top and refilled after settling than one only partly filled owing to the extra pressure.
