This paper was based principally on
personal exper euce and hence is worthy
Of careful attention. In answer to ques
tons he says he finds there is little side
pressure. The ensilage has frozen little
during the severe cold weather. There
was no heat in the ensilage after cold
weather. The air should be entirely ex
cluded to prevent decay. He put in some
corn stalks, but they hurt somewhat, and
he does not think this fodder will keep as
well as corn put in green. He likes the
southern corn for seed better than the
sweet varieties as there would be less
acidity afterward. He finds that silos can
be much more uheaply built than was at
first supposed. They should be built,
when located on farm, at about 81 per
ton Of capacity or perhaps less. He feeds
80 pounds of ensilage, 10 pounds of hay
and > pounds of corn fodder per day 10
cows. 1t cost SIS for cutting and putting
IS tons in silo. 1t costs Is cents per ton
per acre to raise the corn. averaging Is
tons per acre. He is very sanguine of
success with this system and that it will
eventually be very generally adopted bv
farmers. He feeds eBsilage to all his stock
excepting horses. He fed q pair of work.
ing oxen with ensilage and Is pounds Of
hay each per day, and the gain was re.
markable. He finds it good 10 feed TO-
fattening stock. Cattle fed on ensiage
eat coarse kinds of fodder more readily
than used to be the case.
Mr.. Pitkin of MarshGed built 4 s.lo. the
past season, in his barn,of masonry, l3x2O
feet, for $40. Il is large enough TO hold
100 tons.
Mr.. B. Goodwin inquired il there was
any nutriment lost in curing clover.
DR.. Cutting replied that ii properly
cured the loss would be Slight. Ii should
not be exposed too much to the sun or
made too dry. The same may be said of
fodder corn properly cured. He said that
the principal advantage Of putting corn
into ensilage is in economy Of space. The
secretary finds in some samples of ensilare
4 large amount OF acetic acid, and there is
some apprehension that cows fed for few
years on this food may be injured in con
sequence. This is matter of much con-
sequence and longer experience in feed.
ing is awaited with much interest. 1.-THE
ensilage could keep without fermentation
it would prove of the greatest value to
farmers. He spoke OF not overdrying grass
for hay. If mown after the dew is off, it
may he put in the barn, if packed closely.
and the air excluded as much as possible.
The natural juices should be preserved
instead of drying out as is generally prac.
ticed. Barns for hay should be made
tight so as to exclude the air. He believes
it would be much better to feed some dry
hay with the ensiage instead Of feeding il |
alone, as by this practice the liability to
injury might be considerably less. He
thinks that three pounds of .ensilage will
equal one of good dry hay.
h NJ. Goodwin is satisfied that we dry
our hay too much and that we can put it !
into the barn in much greener condition
than was formerly practiced. The hay
will be improved in quality BY this process.
After music, adjourned until evening.
