(From tha ratted fitate* Department of

On account of the labor shortage, neighborhood cooperation In alio Wllng should be highly developed daring Ihe current fall. Ab the rilsgc crop. «hnutd be aaved without loss, whllesll k tl.i* should be filled to capacity. Flee m six or more farmers who own stlos tn one eomtnnn.ty Should combine their working forces Into a crew which should rotate from farm to fam as the corn becomes ripe enough. Snrh an arrangement resulting from the Interchange of nrigldv.rhood farm Intx.r will mlnimUe Ihe expenae of housing the silage crops. It Is essential that com should he cut for ensilage until It ts mature and through the dongh stage, as repeated demonstrations have shown c-.nclnslv.-ly that corn In this condition Is at Ihe peak of nutrient value. The bugnlx-o about fosted com being wholly 'n suitable for emulate Is a fallacy. a* com which has been damaged with frost can be converted Into very good ensilage If It Is cut shortly afterwards. In the case of badly frortM com. however, there occurs n con J .-ruble lost, of leave*. Watering th* Chopped Feed. In case the com Is excessively dry and wilted at the time of alio filling, rater should Is? run through a hose Into the cutting box and blower during the filling process so tha. the <bopi>ed feed may be wet thoroughly nt»d rendered succulent for future feeding In extreme rases where It is Impossible 11 saturate the com completely In this manner, and where water pressure Is available, a see-wd hone Is sometlm-s carried over the top of the silo so that the water falling on s board Inclined against the aide of the silo and moved at regular Intenrala serves efficiently to thoroughly moisten

the forage.
