“America. had just reached the peak of sleeping comforts when the war broke out,” Norman Dine, “Sleep Shop” manager of Lewis and C‘onger’s store, said. “Now the sup- plies of good beds are dwindling: and despite the ingeniousness of manu- facturers, beds are getting harder and harder.” Next in line, experts cotton fibre, mixed with skimmed milk product. One substitute for the highly-de- veloped» ease of springs made of steel, will be good, old reliable felt, which our grandmothers used when the billowy feather bed went out of fashion. There seems to be plenty of felt. - In fact, if supplies of mattress materials get mucli lower, Ameri- cans may be reduceu to plastic matâ€" tresses, tailored to one angle of your silhouette â€" but the disadvantage of these is that you have to lie in one position all night. Americans have “virtually been lying in a bed of roses” compared with what’s on the horizon in the line of mattress comfort, bedding experts say. Along with other household re- finements of the pre-war era, includ- ing refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, Washing machines and radios, the steel-spring mattress will be defunct as a manufacturing item on or be- fore September lst.

A copy of the pamph- let may -be obtained by writing to the Publicity and Extension Division, Dominion Department of Agricul- ture, Ottawa. But although legumes and young grass are more difficult to ensile beâ€" cause they contain relatively little sugar and are comparatively high in protein, good silage can be made of these crops without the use of pre- servatives. This fact is particularly important in View of the present im- possibility of obtaining molasses on account of the war, and just. how this can be done is fully explained is thus reached and the silage will keep in this pickled or preserVed state for a considerable length of time. Corn is an ideal medium for the development of the ensilage pro- cess because it contains relatively large amounts of sugar for the forâ€" mation of organic acids. This is why corn has become such a popuâ€" lar silage crop. It can be made into good silage with ordinary care. Bacteria play an important part in the ensilage process. The desirable types which are found in good sil- age are capable of living in a lim- ited supply of air. They act on the sugars found in cups and convert them into organic acids such as lac- tic acid and acetic acid. As these acids develop in sufficient quantity, they in turn destroy the bacteria which produce them or set up conâ€" ditions in which the bacteria can- not develop. A state of equilibrium in an air-tight silo under ideal con- ditions for ensiling, the plants con- tinue to live for a certain length of time. They continue to breathe or respite. This results in the genera- tion of heat and uses up some of the oxygen which is left in the silo mass. Later, while there is still some air left, the activities of the lower forms of life such as moulds, yeasts, and bacteria increase. In good silage, moulds and yeasts function only for a few hours because the oxygen supply‘is soon exhausted. In very dry crops, more air is present and moulds develop to a greater ex- tent. In order to understand why cer- tain precautions are necessary in en- siling legumes, it is useful to know just how the ensilage process func- tions.
