SILOS AND ENSILAGE.

Tile Agricultural Department of the Privy Cona
oil has issued a return of the replies to questions
relating to silos and ensilage which were put by
that Department to persons who have silos in Great
Britain. The questions, amongst other matters,
dealt with:the numbers, dimensions, and drainage
f silos, th ir materials, the crops put into them,
0-I,e.ir compression, and their condition on being
on ensilage:*l-ißsitith the results of feeding stock
tl.e number of silos hi^ L2lks „it appears that
varying in capacity from 96 to 55,440 cutiicl
Various materials are used in the construction of
silos. They are below, partly above, or entirely
above the surface. The cost varies greatly, from
a merely nominal sum to upwards of £4oo'
Meadow grass, clover, trifolinm, and aftermath have
been generally preferred for ensilage crops. Various
modes of compression are adopted. The evidence
tends to show that the cost of making ensilage is
less than that of making hay. The results of feed-
ing cows on ensilage are, on the whole,satisfactory,
and almost unanimous testimony is afforded as to
its favourable effects on the health of stock.
