preserve a quantity of their hay crop in a green state and at the peak of its nutritional value the essential part of the process is to pack the fresh cut green ma terial into a compact mass so that all possible air is excluded because otherwise good pres ervation is not possible two questions often asked are what type of silo shall i use and shall i chop or put in long silage the stove or tipright silo of circular construction is a very common type and is suited on ly to the storing of short chop ped material results in this type of silo are very satisfac tory but one limitation is that the filling operation requires extra equipment the surface ped grass the urnhopped sil- or horizontal silo is a type widely recommended at the present time many features about this type of construction make it particularly suitable for use toy the average farmer the main essentials for this type as in any other are that it be in a well drained location and convenient for both filling and emptying construction costs are low as materials ifrom the farm woodlot can be used a minimum amount of machin ery is required for filling as the grass can toe brought to the silo in dump trucks or wagons which are drawn through the silo and unloaded where need ed the pile is compacted by travelling over it with the loads and also by additional tramp ing with a tractor or other hea vy vehicle a surface silo built at ex perimental farm xannan has been in use for one season one half was filled with unchopped grass and the other with chop- required considerable more space per ton than the chopped material there being only so tons of unchopped grass stored in the same volume as was re quired for 125 tons of chopped the silo was designed for self feeding with cattle enter- ing from both ends and reach ing through movable barriers to eat the silage the chopped grass proved more satisfactory than the unchopped under self feeding conditions irrespective of the type of silo or the method of harvest ing a properly conducted grass silage program will ensure that regardless of weather condi tions forage crops can be har vested at the proper time grce of relaxation while he lei surely

well as many other traditions had a beginning away back in the ritual and ceremony of his tory if we had been wedding guests in ancient rome during the days of romulus we might have witnessed a strange spec tacle the beautiful wedding cake of delicate texture with artistic decorations symbolizing matrimonial bliss was by cus tom broken over the head of the blushing bride this was part of the confarreatio or eating together invented by romulus to celebrate the nup tial vows romulus had viewed as impractical the sprinkling of corn pouring of oil and oth er rites which before his time had confirmed the parents agreements to make provisions for the young couple as civilization advanced the confarreatio was replaced by other wedding customs but the cakeeating part of the ceremony remained even af ter its original significance was forgotten in england the bridal cake was originally made of rich and aromatic ingredients this was covered with u white icing made of sugar and almonds to symbolize the pleasure and the pain of marriage the cake also served as a good luck charm for the bridesmaids we are told that the cake was cut into small pieces which were pass ed through the ring nine time by the bridegroom each brid esmaid received a tokenpiece which she tucked into the foot of her loft stocking if she placed the token under her pil low as she slept she was sure to dream of the man who was destined tb become her partner for life wedding cakes as well as customs have changed with time xo longer is the elabor ately decorated wedding cake destroyed in ancient
