his ensilage cutter Of two horse power
by the edge Of the silo and threw the
fodder from the wagon into the cutter
which chopped it up into pieces about |
half an inch long. The pieces fell
from the machine into the silO aud the |
mass was leveled and then packed as
closely as possible by tramping it down
with the feet. Layer after layer was
stored in this way until the silo was
full. The cover was then put on and
weighted down with sand bags. Mr..
Millington says the cost is less than
two dollars q ton and that with ensi-
lage he can feed his cattle more cheap
ly in Winter than in Summer.
