CUTTING CORN FOR THE SILO Wait Until Kernels Are Glazed or Dented—If Thought Too Dry Water May Be Added. There is considerable of the nu trient material lost in cutting silage corn too early. Corn should not be cut for this purpose until the ker nels are nearly all glazed or dented. At this stage it will usually be noted that the lower blades are brown and dry. If it is thought that the corn is a little too mature, water can be added. Experiments have shown that corn stover (dry stalks without the ears) can be ensiled if an equal weight of water is added as the stover is being cut, The silage should be well tramped as the silo is being filled, es pecially so around the walls. This is done to exclude as much air as pos- gible. For the average man, the steam engine i8 easier to run than is a gaso line engine, and not as many de lays will be made in filling the silo, Where a number of men and teams are employed, a stop of even a few minutes i8 costly, After the filling of a silo 18 completed, it is a good after which it should be tramped once a day for a week or ten days This procedure will several tons of otherwise spoiled silage BAR FOREIGN NURSERY STOCK Government Order Prohibits importa. tion of Living or Growing Plants, Seed and Products. save All stock in the turned nursery received mails from abroad to the point of according to a recent order tion was taken the importers endeavored must be re origin immediately, for reas have hold the return of such shipments til comm department of agri they could mmicate ilture of having an exception particular case “Nursery 4 tock all flower seocds It and roots, and tubers noted, the shrubs, other or or plant pr of Fore En 2 Introduction, United nr ori ' . . of Agriculture, Wagon Into Bin or Crib Desired Cost Is Not Great.

G. HALPIN, Wisconsin Experi ment Station.) To have the eggs fresh market only oggs that are gathered from regular nests. Usable eggs now may not be usable by the time they reach the city market, and all eggs of this sort should be kept at home and used at once. Do not hurt the sale of your good eggs by including eggs gathered from stolen nests, extra small or ex- tra large eggs. The latter are like ly to get broken and soil the good eggs in the case. Cather eggs daily, and as soon as possible after they are laid; store in a clean, dry, cool place, tree from bad odors, until ready for market.
