George G.. Smith. son of ex-Gov. Smith
of st. Adams, was one of the speakers at
the fifth annual Ensilage congress, held
at New York last week. Speaking of
his experience on his two farms at st. Al
bans he said: | have fed my stock on
ensilage for the last six years, and today
they are in splendid condition. From the
20 acres of land that | planted with corn
obtained last year 1900 tons of ensilage.
TO make ensilage that will produce the
best butter the corn should be planted in
hills from four to six inches apart, and
then carefully cultivated. In this way
we raised ~ - tons to the acre last year,
and hope to raise 40 tons next year. The
total cost per ton of plowing planting,
cutting and putting in silos was Il cents
per ton. The corn should be cut when it
is beginning to glaze and the weather is
dry. After being put in the silos it
should be carefully tramped down, es-
pecially around the edges, and then
should be weighted so as to exclude the
air. use 220 pounds weight to the
square inch, Ny ensilage is cut three
eighths of an inch in length.
