The Shape of the Silo. .
When silos first came into use in
this couniry they were invariably
built rectangular or square and shal
low. Then it was necessary to weignt
the silage down to keep it from spoil
ing. Later it was learned that great
er depth would remove the necessity
of weighting, but still the silage in
the corners would spoil because it
could not be packed tight enough to
exclude the air. The next improve
ment was that ol boarding across the
corners, making an octagonal in
terior. This was better, but not yet
successful, and the idea of the round
.silo was gained, thus eliminating all
corners or air space for silage to!
spoll, and the losses incurred by the
air coming in contact with the con
tents of the sllo were reduced to a\
minimum. '
Less lumber is required to build a
circular silo of like capacity than a
square one, and the material need
not be so strong, to preveat bulging
and spreading apart, so that the cir
cular silo is not only the more ef
ficient type, but should be a great
deal cheaper. For these reasons the
circular silo has become more popu
lar, until at the present time we sel
dom see any otner form being con
structed.-—Hugh G. Van Pelt, in

Cooling the Milk. ‘
An experienced dairyman who has
handled a great deal of milk says his
experience is that the bacteria rapidly
increase when warm weather over-.
takes it, and that from May 1 to cold;
weather it becomes necessary to arti
ficially lower the temperature in mllkE
and thereby prevent the dreaded mul- |
tiplying of a small number of bacteria
into hundreds of thousands or mil
lions. The remedy consists in pro
viding for cooling or refrigeration de
vices on the farm and at the railroad
stations and for refrigeration cars on
the milk trains,
Farmers who bring their milk into
the city by wagon should be required
to carry at least crude boxes into
which the milk cans or bottles are
placed and packed with crushed ice.
As for milk hauled to the railroad
station, the distances are rarely great
enough to warm the milk seriously
in transit, provided it has heen well
chilled at the farm. Milk inspectors
may be relied upon to call attention
to any serious evading of the spirit
of the law, Milk known as certified
must, of course, be rightly kept down
to standard temperature in all kinds
of weather, and no latitude is per
missible,—lndiana Farmer.

Making Good Butter,
The washing of butter, says Pro
fessor McKay, of the dairy depart
ment of the lowa Agricultural Col
lege, is a more important factor in
butter making than is generally sup
posed, and adds:
The keeping qualities as well as
the flavor can be seriously affected
by undesirable bacteria being trans
miited through the wash water, 1
believe the time is not far distant
when all wash water will be pasteur
ized or sterilized. Take the question
of color or mottlgs—thousands of dol
lars are lost annually by butter be
ing mottled. This defect is caused by
4n uveven distribution of salt. Take
Ihreo Jots of butter from the same
churning, even where no artificial
toloring has been added, salt one lot
at the rate of a holf ounce per pound,
Ahe second lot at an ounce and the
third lot at one and one-half ounces,
and the color will be so strikingly
high in the last lot that it could not
‘be mixed with the other lots without
ehowing streaks. This is no doubt
due to the fact that salt has an affin
ity for water. The tendency is for
jthem to run together and form a solu
ton. When salt is used the water
collects in large beads, thus giving
the butter a darker shade of color
Whenever you find light streaks in
butter you will invariably find no
salt; therefore, tha first considera
tion in saiting butter is to get good
salt that will dissolve readily. The
butter should not be drained very
dry. It is better to use a little more
salt if it is inclined to wash off some.
Salt should always be put on the but.

ting rollers in gear, thus retaining as
l‘ah moisture in the butter as pos
sible. - Allow butter to stand from
fifteen to twenty minutes bafore
working in this condition, and then
work until butter has becocme waxy
in appearance and salt ceases to be
gritty. If these precautions are ob
served there will e no danger of
mottles.

Proper Care of the Horse.
It is a fact that a good many work
horses are actually hurt for want of
exercise and proper care and feeding
when they are idle. The Daily
‘Drovers’ Journal, calling attention to
i_these things, says that such horses
‘when not used daily should have
plenty of exercise in the pasture or
;some other place when the weather
will permit, and as to care, that if
the attendant spends all his time in
rubbing the body or smoothing the
‘mane or tail of the animal and neg
lects his feet and legs, it is .a mis
take. If one watches a good horse
judge at work in the show ring he
will be impressed with the fact that
‘more time is spent in the inspection
of the animal’s feet and legs than
any other part of its conformation.
If the horse has good legs he is gen
‘erally ‘a high-class animal in all his
proportions. A horse is not properly
groomed unless his feet and legs have
had special attention.
The proper management of the
horse to maintain soundness and ef
ficiency is to feed him a variety of
rations. Animals do better when
their feed is varied occagionally,
Meny horses are fed for long intervals
on earg of corn, and the process o?
shelling and grinding their rations
often makes their teeth sore and they
lose condition. If the feed were
varied with alternate rations of corn
meal the condition of the animal
would improve immensely. The horse
will gain rapidly in weight and ap
pearance when his grain ration is al
ternated with a feed of cornmeal.
Owners of horges should personally
look after their stables und see that
the animals have the necessary vari
ety of rations to maintain good ap-;
pearance and efficiency as workers,—
Indiana Farmer, L
Calves For Good Cows.,
It has long been a problem how to
increase the quality of the dairy herd
by selecting and growing the most.
promising ecalves. It is the surest
way to secure and keep up a first
class dairy herd. Good breeding, care
in selection, raising and feeding is
the road to a solution of this whole
matter. A dafryman in the Minne
sota Farm Review offers some good
suggestions on some of these points
in the following: :
A problem which troubles many
farmers and dairymen is that of rais
ing their calves successfully, There
is more than one way, They may be
raised on whole milk, on the cow, on
skim milk, and with no milk at all.
The most practical and the cheapest
way is to raise them on skim milk.
Of course, skim milk must be supple
mented by other feeds to replace in
a 4 measure the fat removed by skim
ming. Good feeds are oil meal, oats,
corn, bran, gluten or wheat. A more
desirable feed is a mixture of all or
some of these to form meal with a
nutritive ratio of 1:5. A liberal*sup
ply of good hay should be kept be
fore the calves. This is the first thing
they learn to eat. Perhaps the best
is early cut or second crop clover
hay. Alfalfa, bromus and upland
prairie hay are good. ' All hay should
be fine. Some bone meal should be
supplied to furnish mineral matter.
Bone meal is indispensable to cattle
in the barn all winter. The calves.
should also have salt at all times.
Salting at intervals sometimes causes
overdrinking and consequent scours,
Calves over a week old should have
all the pure water they want after
they have had their milk.
When the change is complete the
calf may get twelve pounds of skii:
milk and two pounds of grain, also
all the hay it will eat. Increase the
milk about two pounds a week until
the calf gets about eighteen to twenty
pounds. Do not feed more than this,
It will make a scrawny pot-belly with
ne lung capacity. When a calf gets
large enough to use more than twenty
pounds of milk it will be too large
to make the mokt profit out of it.
At six months the calf may get less
milk, say. two pounds a week, until
it gets none. Give plenty ot good
hay and grain. and a little silage may
be fed. Do not get it fat and thus
give a tendency to lay on flesh. Be
sure to give the calf plenty of those
two great necessities of life—salt and
water, .
- Early learned habits are remem
bered, and i{f you spoil your heister,
you will have a spoiled cow. Never
abuse calves, but make pets of them;
let them have confidence in you.
Train the little calves properly and
you will have a herd that will be a
source of satisfaction and revenue to
you. :

HARNESSING THE WINDS.
The utilization of the wind for do
ing a portion of man's work is as
old, figuratively, as the hills. At
least, the ancient Dutch ‘windmill,
with its four great sweeps, carries
! one back as far as it ig necessary to
| 80. Windmills were used in France
l and Italy in the twelfth century for
grinding corn and in Holland in the
| fifteenth century for pumping water
} over the dykes into the sea,
| In the United States the ‘windmill
has had several geasons o- spells of
prosperity, when it looked as though
peverybody was getting a windmill,
[and likewise several periods of de
pression when it gseemed as though
everybody was down on and discard
' ing the windmill. Americans are
apt to go to extremes. When a thing
becomes popular, it becomes awfully
pbopular. It is in danger of being
looked upon as an actual revolu
tionizer. As a matter of fuct, the
} Windmill has a great deal of worth
{ in many iocations and its use is con
’ stantly increasing. 1f the old Dutch
mill was, and for that matter is to
day, effective, certainly the high type

Homemade Windmill,

of American article is a powd¥ gen
erator on the farm of great value, if
the conditions are right for its use.
It is foolish, yet it has been dong in
countless cages, to order an expensive
windmill plant for pumping, before
finding out that the water supply is
a good one.
The difference between supplying a
house and farm stock with water,
nowadays, to say nothing of watering
the grounds on the garden, and that
of carrying water from the “big
spring” in buckets, as in the old days,
is as great as is the difference- be
tween the clvilization of to-day and
that of one hundred years ago. The
“big spring” undoubtedly did have a
country-wide reputation for never gO~
ing dry—in faet, in several years of
great drought, when all the other
wells and springs dried up, all the
neighbors got their water from the
blue depths of the fine old “big
spring.” Nevertheless, the “big
spring” would likely last about sixty
minutes if its waters were pumped
to supply a good-sized tank. So that
the first thing in considering a wind
mill for pumping is, have you a good
water supply to pump? A fine water
supply should certainly be recognized
as a most valuable asset, amd the
question then arises as to its fullest
utilization. In many cases nothing
more economical than a windmill ecan
be found for yetting the water to the

surface and forcing it into a tank
high above the surroundings. Of
course, there are power windmills for
grinding, etc., as well as those rigged
for pumping, and an immense amount
of hard work can be accomplished by
these former.
It is an inspiring sight to travel
through portions of Kansas and Ne
braska, and see the thousands of
windmills, all spinning merrily in the
crisp western wind. Many a farmer
in the western part of these States,
,through his few acres irrigated by
{ wind pumped water, has bridged over
periods of drought on his new farm
and been able to stick it out until he
ecould get more thoroughly estab
lished. Some of the miils improvised
by the early settlers are crude enough
ibut picturesque, nevertheless service
able under the strong prairie winds.
lThey may have been constructed en
tirely of dry goods toxes, resembling
the paddle wheels of old stern wheeler
river steamers. Others look like big
pin wheels, and some have sails of old |
kerosene cans hammered gut flat. In ‘
the Arkansas Valley in Qansas, one
private pumping plant erected about
five years ago at a cost of SBOOO, sup- |
plied water from the overflow of the
Arkansas River for one thousand‘
acres, and paid for itself the first
year.
The writer has a small, eight-foot
windmill on his Virginia place, and
this, under a good head of wind, fills
a nine hundred gallon tank in the
attic of the house in from two to three
hours. Continuous pumping does not
lower the water in .the well, and with
the average run of wind this tank
could be pumped full daily. - With a
clay or other retaining reservoir of
sufficient size to take all the water
from the windmill, enough storage
could be provided by this small plant
for the irrigation of from three to
four acres.—Guy Elliott Mitchell, in
the American Cultivator. 7
“Mr." and flb‘i."
The complaint that postmen are
not allowed officially to be written
to or of as ‘“Mr.” recalls the attempts
that have been made to show that
few of us are really entitled to that
prefix. “Magter,” it {s contended,
was originally a form of address re
stricted to people of a certain stand
ing, and has been cheapened even
as ‘Esquire.” But the case is not
as “Esquire.” It is only clear that
“Master” was once markedly respect
ful, and in the form of “Mister” has
become common property, while
“Master” itself, curiously, has be
come confined to boys. At any rate,
the fall has not been so great as in
the case of the French “Monsieur.”
At one time even a saint was spoken
of as ‘“Monsieur St. Jean;” under
the early Valois the king was “Mon
sieur” in public documents, and later
it became the title of the king’s
younger brother. Nowadays ‘“M.” is
merely on a level with “Mr.”—Lon
