METHODS CF FILLING SILOS Careful Tramping and Leveling, To gether With Other Essential Features, Are Important. <By "W. E. MARKEY. Wisconsin Experi ment Station.) Haphazard methods of filling silos ihave spoiled many thousand tons of ?good corn and often given silage a "black eye." Careful tramping and leveling, together with other essential features in filling the silo are im portant. Corn makes the best silage when the [majority of the ears are dented, or Just beginning to glaze. If corn is put Into the silo before this stage cf ma turity is reached, the silage becomes "very sour or acid, and is apt to have a 3ow feeding value. When corn becomes dry from being frosted or allowed to get ripe, it will make good silage if water is added at ?filling time. No definite rule can be :given as to the right amount of water to add, but the aim should be tc make the moisture content equal to that of ?green corn. It is very essential that the cut corn "be thoroughly mixed after lt is elevat ed or blown Into the silo. If this is not done, the heavier portions will fall in one place and cause the silage to settle "unevenly, resulting in much loss, due to spoiling. Duriiie: the process of filling, the cut material should be kept slightly higher .at the edges than in the center, and well tramped close to the sides where .friction prevents it from settling. It 1s not necessary to tramp in the cen ter, of the silo, for the weight of the .silage there is sufficient to insure thorough packing. Silos that are deep and of large diameter require less tramping than those of .maller dimen sions. SOME LITTLE PIG TR0UBLE3 .Do Not Feed Dirty, Spoiled or Sour Feed-Good Remedy for Rickets -Isolate Sick Hogs. If your little pigs are troubled with scours change the diet of the sow. Do :not feed dirty, spoiled or sour feed. 'Thoroughly cook all meat scraps. If hard, bony enlargements form on the hock joints of your small pigs, the chances are that they have rickets. 'Introduce some new blood into the herd and feed your pigs per each 100 pounds weight a mixture of calcium ?phosphate pulverized, nux v?mica two -ounces, artificial carlsbad salts ten ounces. For worms give five grains calomel and ten grains santonin per each 100 pounds, followed in about six hours by a bran mash, or give ton grains san tonin and 20 grains areca nut after a j?^a??pur fast. Follow some of your hogs to the .packing bouse and see them inspected. It will pay in case they are tubercular. Use plenty of whitewash around the .'pens. Isolate all sick hogs. Burn all dead ?ones. CARING FOR FLOCK OF DUCKS Fowls Do Better if Given Same Ra tion Every Day-Change ls Likely to Stop Egg Yield. Handle ducks by the neck-never -carry them by the legs. If a duck breaks down in driving to pasture, mark it for the butcher; we want vigor in the breeding stock. Ducks may be housed for laying early in October. Do not put over 20 ducks in a pen together; they pile up at feeding time, or if scared, and are .apt to get injured in a larr;e flock. A duck fed for eggs in October ohould lay in six weeks. A good feed ls made by taking equal parts of corn The White Queen. meal and bran, and two parts of low grade flour with five parts of cut clo ver or clover chaff. Ducks do better df fed the same ration every day; a change of food usually stops the egg yield. When feeding beef scraps to ducks, soak them over night, and then mix wrth the grain and clover mash. Eradicate Canada Thistles. Canada thistles In small patches may be killed by covering the ground with tar paper or other heavy building paper, overlapping the edges so that no plants can reach the air and sun light. The paper may be weighted down with earth, stones, or fence rails. Good Time to Spray Cows, At milking time it is easy to spray fv? cows. Then they will sta?d with out any trouble, and the milking can b<* done with some satisfaction, i SUPERVISOR'S QUARTERLY REPORT.
