The chief advantage* of fall plant ing are that a better »election of treea can be secured In the nursery than If made In the spring; the atoek can be kept oat of the ground a shorter time (moat nursery atoek la dug In the fall and> stored In cellars over winter); then la no danger of drying of the atoek, due to storage la nursery col lam; the planting can be done at a time when work la not aa prsoslng as In the spring, and the trees can got a good coot hold before winter aeta In sad thus be In sple&Ud condition to commence growth perhaps several weeks before spring transplanted trees could become established. The principal caution with respect to fall set trs* Is to Insist that the nur sery stock bo allowed to ripen fully. This It cannot do, as the peaettee of "stripping" or removal of the tana before maturity la 'done. It 1* aiao highly daetrable to protect all newly aet treea against rabbits and mice. The beat plan Is to use galvanised hardware clothe of ooe-half inch fash to cover the trunks from an fiich or two below the surface of the sod up to s height of eighteen lac bee to two feat. Thaae guard* should be four or five Inches In diameter when set. so they may be left In place for several yean aad thus continue the protection unto the bark becomes too rough and tough to attract rabbits oaf mice. _ When Baby Has Ue Creep.

The digestive organs of animals that chew the end are eo formed as to re quire comparatively Juicy and bulky cow cannot, therefore, thrive on exclusively dry food so well as can the hone. Tht> nearest to an Ideal food that can be obtained for the dairy cow is good pasture, but In many sections for more than, six months In the year green pasture Is not available. 'The beet substitutes to use during this pe riod sre corn silage and such roots aa mangels and turnips. Corn yields an average of twice as much dry matter per ncre as do root crops, and since the latter require much more labor, which In this country Is rslstlvely expensive, sllsge I* far. more economics 1. By the use of the silo the corn Is re moved from the field st a time when no Injury is done the land by cutting It up while soft As the com Is cut be fore the blades are dry enoufb to shat ter, there Is no waste from weathering, and both stock and grain being in good condition the whole crop la consumed by the stock, while with dry shock corn a large percentage of the leavea and butts of the stalk Is wasted. It has been determined that one cu bic foot of bay In tbe mow contains about 4.3 pounds of dry matter and that a cubic foot of silage In a thirty six foot silo contslns sbout 8.0 pounds of dry matter. From this It Is evident -that a cubic foot of spsce In a silo of proper depth will bold more than twice as much dry matter as the correspond ing space In a mow. It Is also true that on tbe average a larger amount of di gestible feed ran be obtained froth an acre In the form of silage than In any other way at like expense. Making corn into silage la then both an eco nomical and compart method of stor ing feed. Much damage tins been dune to tbe cause of slbtge by the extravagant claims of Its overentbusla^e'friends. Although corn rllage Is uot a complete and balanced ration In Itself. It Is so well relished that brge quantities are consumed. Being a succulent feed, it tends to heavy milk production and should be glv;n an Important place In tbe ration of dairy rows. It has proved an Important factor In steer feeding aa well as In milk production, but a steer cannot be finished on silage alone, any more than a cow can produce bar bast jfelda of milk on such a ration. To ob tain tbe moet economical returns some dry roughsge should be fed In connec tion with sllsge, snd s legume bay, as alfalfa, clover or cowpeas. Is the beet for this purpose, particularly for young stock and cows. ' >» TO REDUCE SMUT DAMAGE. Can Be Largely Controlled by Treating Seed Orein With Formaldehyde.
