h one Can figure for hunself, but calculate with ordinary lumber put in a substantial way the cost of a imilar silo need not exceed $200. ere is no earthly doubt that if the nsilage is well packed around the. dges of tte silo during the process f filling and the whole surface well rodden and left level it will keep icely. There is no need of a roof at 11 in this climate save for the pro ection of the laborers who get oat; e ensilage. I did not use any roof on mine because I want-l to test this very point, and bought water-; roof coats for the use of the labor in bad weather. Don't buy cattle to fee dunless you Don't buy cattle to feed unless you! ow what kind of cattle will sell best e beef type. Don't buy cattle to feed weighing less than 950 pounds. This is the limit downward; 1,000 pounds is the proper minimum. There is more ready sale and more profit in steers weighing 1,200 to 1,300 pounds when fattened. Don't try to feed ordinary scrub .attle, for they will not take on fieshI or sell as well as the blooded grades. %They will make as much manure and as good manure, but the selling at a; profit is a true test which will in the, end govern this busines. Don't feed damaged cotton seed meal, for while it is perhaps as good for fertilizer it will not show the :&.ae results in feeding as good bright meal. Don't fail to clean out the trough,eL with a wooden paddle just before feeding each time. This is imTort ant to save feeds and to keep the cat tle with an appetite. Don't make the mistake of having: your troughs too shallow, and be sure to arrange so that you can elevate them as the manure rises. My troughs are between the posts: which support the roof and I use iron -pins five-eighths of an inch in 4 meter to support the troughs. My troughs are 14 inches deep and they; .are too shallow. Deep troughs are not r -ntial in feeding ensilage. It nenessary to 'have plenty of ox.for when the food is ':t i -a greedy animals shove the .eters awln it is only after each -one L a~ ice within reach of the food zhat g.:ey begin to eat. Don't form t the~ bedding. Unless e:>i are coi: ' hpe they will not t: e on fat as they should. This . .ns they ought to be w: ll bedded or ut in the opn, except during to or ecod rai:n. T-l2e question of whe::er to teed in a barn or out in the open must be decided by local conditions. I know it will not do to feed in the open on clay soils, but on. sandy land that will not ruin by being Spuddled there are only a few days in. each. winter when the cattle will not do better outside than under cover. Don't expect to -get the prices for: beeves that you see quoted in the pa pers. These prices are for corn-fed, Western beeves that always command: one-fourth to one-half a cent per -pound more than cotton seed meal -cattle. *Don't fail to recollect that you can: get information of the right kind from! the experts who are subject to your call employed by Clemson, by the United State~s government and by the SCotton Seed Crushers' association. Buying an ensilage cutter and en girne is along the lion o-f cooperation' among farmers just as in buying a -guano mixer, or a threshing outfit. My 12 'horsepower gasoline engine cost a little over $500 and the ensilage cut ter with blower and elevator cost $153. *Don't fail to prod your member of the legislature about tick eradication and the moving of the quarantine line southward. Only four counties in South Oarolina are now permitted to sbip without quarantine ~restrictions: Greenville, Pickens, Oconee and An ~ derson. The lumber for the silos should be dressed on both sides and it 'is better to have the staves in one piece rather than spliced. There is a -bulletin is sued by the department of agriculture telling how to build them. Mine cost -more than was absolutely necessary because I bought the door frames and doors when equally as good doors could be made by sawing the doors out at a slant and leaving space be tween the doors to keep the staves from being pulled together by the hoops. I painted the outside *ith cot ton seed oil paint, but I am satisfied .ta "Post Preserving Oil" (crude petroleumf). sold by t-he Standard Oil cmpanly at 10 1-2 cents per gallon, would prove equally effective in pre serving the wood. I gave my silos a coating of this on the inside and will repeat it both on the inside and out this summer. It is the cheapest and best preservative I know of and should be used by every farmer on plowestocke, wagons. shingle roofs, tools and in fact everything made o1 -wo that he wishes to preserve.
