The National tetail Dry Goods association was recently told that the average man spends £85 a year on clothes, while the average woman spends $2 Judged this standard, clothes are about three times as important to a as they are a man.

The loads are then drawn to the silo and run through the cutter as it takes only a minute to start the tractor which furnishes the belt power, or to turn the switch which starts an electric motor, Experiments at some of our state colleges and practical experience have proved that tramping is not nec- essary for keeping the silage and in many cases this job has been elim inated. Neither is It necessary to have a man at the feed table of the modern ensilage cutter, Round Bin Capacity Is Figured Quite Easily To find the number of bushels of grain in a round or cylindrical field grain bin Is a matter of simple fig- uring, according to Prof. Cap E. Mil. ler, head of the department of agri: cultural economics, North Dakota Agricultural college. The first step Is to get the circum. ference or distance around the bin in feet. Then, square this figure and multiply the result by 07958. This will give the area In square feet, Now, multiply this area by the depth of grain in the bin and the result will be the number of cubic feet of grain In the bin, Multiply the num- ber of cubic feet by 8 or divide by 13% for she number of bushels of grain in the circular bin, i “Shipping Fever” of Cattle Is Prevented Protective Agent Quite Effi- cacious Against Disease the United Biates Departm of Agricniture,) pared by lemorrhagic is a recently Be against hemorrha septicemia ugg discovered the septicem protectis known ix farm ani. and of enimal Industry : * ates Department of nt dire ne us which KO highly Infectious mais, The among particularly cattle sheen, of the Agri- aggressin, In a reviged edition of Farmers Bulletin 10158-F, Hemorrhagic Septicemia, “Shipping Fever” of Cattle, just pub- Henry J.
