FARM AM HARDEN.
Sots to the Hairy Stork.
Trofpssnr I. B. Arnold, one of the best
American authorities on matters pertain
ing to dniry husliaiulry, declares that,
After studying the effects of the customary
treatment of dairy stock for over thirty
years, he is confident that "scanty feed
in summer droughts, nnd pinching with
needless exposure to cold in winter, keep
the anmml product of the cows of the
country forty per cent, below what it
would be with fnir nnd conntnnt rations
the year round and comfortable hous
ing." This is far from complimentary to
our butter and chreso mnkers, but only
confirms the recent statement of another
writer, namely, "that we need a new
race of dairymen, who will know enough
to keep ft cow in milk-giving condition
the year round." Xcu York Witness. .
Specialties In I lower.
Jf. F. Kaxon says in the Agriculturist:
Roses, carnations, and a few other flow
ers appear to be. popular t all times,
while others have their seasons and pe
riods of popularity, after which they re
turn to seeming obscurity. As it is im
possible for one person to grow to perfec
tion many kinds of flowers requiring
dillerent treatment, this fickleness in
flowor fashions is not an unmixed evil.
Jn raising flowers, as in any other work,
it is the specialists who achieve the
greatest success. The beautiful chrys
anthemums, for instance, which of late
have attiacted so much attention, are
most exclusively grown by ptrsons who
have devoted all their energies to the
perfection of these plants. Annuals
nave lately been much neglected, and
yet they are of the easiest cultivation,
and in beauty second to nono. They are
the flowers for everybody. They may bo
sown directly in the open ground, or, if
the season is late, in window-boxes or
hot beds, transplanting tho seedlings in
proper timo. Asters, balsams, pansies, 1
and many others, afford inviting special-:
ties. live the annuals a chance this
snnimcr, nnd do not forget to plant a
few seeds of tho single dahlia.
Feeding Light Brahmas Tor Errs.
Over-feeding is injurious to all breeds,
but especially so to Light liruhmas.
Corn should be excluded from their diet,
except in extreme cold weather, when it
may be given in a mixture of corn, wheat
and oaU, as a hot mash in the morning.
Oatmeal scalded nnd made the consist
ency of mush, into which a handful of
dessicatcd lish may be mixed, is one of(
the best egg-produciug foods that can bo
given. On alternate mornings flaxseed
meal may be used in place of the tish.
A pint of whole wheat to every twelve
fowls is fullicicnt for nn evening meal,
and this should be thrown among leaves
-or tftiaff to make them scratch for it.
Itaw meat should be given three times a
week. A cabbage fastened by a string
and suspended from the center of the
hen house, just high enough to make
them jump for all they get, is an excel
lent thing. In short, any means that
can be devised to make them work for
their feed, with the exception of their
morning meal; and even that should be
light, simply giving enough for an appe
tizer will bo found of great benefit to
them.
From actual experience we have found
that pure-bred Brahmas, by careful feed
ing, can be made far better layers than
half-breeds, and if intelligently bred can
combine fancy points and eggs.
The object to be gained in rnising
chickens for early market is to have them
to weigh from one and a halt to two
pouuds in tho shortest time possible.
They should be fed upon such food as
will cause the least amount of shrink
age. Exclusive uso of soft feed will put
flesh upon tho carcass rapidly, but of
such a nature that tho shrinkage will be
at least six ounces to a chicken ' dressed;.
To avoid this, whole wheat should enter
largely into their diet. They can be
taught to cat it when a few days old by
crushing a portion of it aud mixing with
the whole grains. The flesh of a chicken
raised on soft feed presents a shriveled
appearance, especially on the breast after
dressing, which never occurs when the
birds aro fed upon grains as well. Noth
ing can be more delicious than the flesh
of chickens grown to weigh two pounds
in eight weeks. Farm, Field and Stock
man. KnsllaKO Experience;.
At a meeting of tho Kansas Board ot
Agriculture Sir. A. C. Pierce made a
report on building a silo, filling it, and
feeding out the contents to cuttle ut dif
ferent ages. In this report he says:
"The silo which I have in use is built
of stono, and is entirely above ground.
It is 24x49feet outside and 20 feet high.
ly silo is divided into two rooms. Two
doors, one above the other, open from
each room of the slip iuto the barn on
the north of it. The walls of tho silo,
first 10 feet, are 2 leet thick; upper 10
feet 18 inches thick. I would recom
mend a wall 21 feet thick at least for a
silo 'JO feet high. My walls were laid tin
in liino mortar, and the inside of the
walls and floor were plastered with
cement. Such a silo us I have described
will hold nearly 500 tons of ensilage.
When tilled I covered with hay and then
laid rough planks over tho " hay, and,
weighed with stono at the rate of about
1200 pouuds to the sijuare yard. It is
not necessary that the planks should be
grooved or laid smooth. Tho weight is
of considerable importance in pressing
out the air. A silo holding 500 tons can
be built of stone, entirely above ground,
for less than ."00. Ono of the same
capacity can be built iu a bank, or side
of a bluff, where the ground is firm, so
that the sides can be cemented, for lees
than f'-'iO. If I were building a silo to
day, and a high bunk were convenient, I
would excavate and build my silo some
thing like a bank barn. I would cement
the sides like a cistern, and would put a
heavy wall on the open side. I would
make a portable or movable roof, which
could be removed while tilling the silo,
and covered easily when full and
weighted.
'.My stuble is built oil the north tide
of the silo, and holds 100 head of cattle,
fastened in stauchcons. In feeding, the
ensilage is loaded iuto small cars hold
ing about one thou-aud pounds. '1 he
truck of the cur is suspended from the
fljor above the car, so as to be out of
the way of any litter that might fall upon
the floor. I uiu feeding now about
twenty-five pounds of ensilage twite a
day to each grown animal, ar.d about
fifteen pounds to each young animal. I
nm well satisfied that it is the best and
cheapest food in Kansas.
"I'oru is the easiest grown, and the
best thing I know of to till a silo, (so fur
I have used the common field corn.
Kext year 1 fclnill try the mammoth sweet
corn, due part of my field was listed
last year ubout the 1st of Apiil, and
again the same way, splitting tho ridges,
ubout the 1st of May. W'e dropped the
corn very thickly I should t.ay the ker
nel! were ubout two or three inches
apart intending to cut the crop for the
b.lo. The ilrougbt came, und this par
ticular field of coin was quickly withered,
on uccount of the ktulks being close to
gether. I concluded to cut up this
piece for fodder, uuU for the silo we
used corn which ha! been planted about
tho usual distance if planting corn. I
had liBted this grout 1 twice, and some
of it three times. TiSis corn was heavy,
averaging about fiftr bushels to the
acre, and weighing greon about twenty
tons to the acrn. I judge by
weighing average loads.. Wo commenced
cutting about thn 1st of September. Tho
cars were in tho milk or dough, and tho
stalks green clear down to the ground
and about twelve feet litgh. Tho corn
was cut and thrown in piles. Fourtrams
wero used to haul corn to tho rutting
machine. Poino of it wo cut half an inch
and some an int h long. This mado no
difference in its Jkcrping. I used a four
horse power, and somo of the time t used!
six upon it. The rlcvntor .is about thirty
feet long, one end attacked to tho cAit
ter, nnd tho other resting upon tho top
of tho wall of the silo. L think with a
good force of nine men thnt about forty
tons of feed can be cut intl put in. silo iu
one day. Corn can bo ;rc wn, ;ut, and
weighted down in a silo for less than one
dollar per ton, not counting tho rent of
tho ground.
Mr. Pierce finds ensilage to bo the best
food for "skim-milk" calves. They
thrive on it better than on any kind of
hay, even when they have meal in addi
tion. His cows give the rmostmilk when
they are supplied with e asilage. For
making feed, corn or other grains should
be fed in connection with it. It is much
easier to feed cattle from a silothan from
a hay stack. At the Inst a rifcin is exposed
to the cold and to storms of snow and
rain, in the first he is sheltered by a warm
building. Much of the hay in a stack is
blown away while feeding it out, and
more is injured by snow nnd rains. Kn
silagc does not blow away anrj snow anil
rain cannot reach it. A silo, if filled of
suitable material, cannot bo blown down,
and it is not liable to be burned. The
most successful cattle raisers. in the state
are those who have silos.

I hae described my ciuvo and tho treatment used, and have ear

For Washing down the walls or stairs,

And laundress prize its friendly aid;
A WORD OF WARNING.
