Milk THE MAlNsTAY.-Now that the
ranches are chiefly abandoned the
small farms of the states must produce
the cattle and milking qualities of all
our beef breeds and stock must
be developed to meet the new
order of profitable stock breed
ing. Milk is essential on the
stock farm; even if no milk or butter is
sold the young calves, colts, pigs, and
chickens should have milk; they do so
much better with liberal supplies OF
milk that it is found to pay to include
milk in the properly balanced ration
for the young things and milk is al
ways desirable and profitable pro-
duct OF every farm. The pigs want it
all the year round after the calves and
colts have outgrown it. The creamery

Some Points on the Siln

Alta dairy convention in Nebraska
the subject Of silos was discussed, and
Mr.. BasSett, secretary of the state
dairy association said: l would like to
correct the statement just made con-
cernlng the fact that condensed milk
factories would not use milk where the
COWS are fed ensilage. took occasion
to run down that very statement, and
from parties that were living near those
factories, and the reason was this: It
was Tot because there was any taste in
the feeding of ensilage that affected
the milk in any way, but the condensed
milk factories said this: "Our product
is manufactured to-day; it may be used
year from to-day, or two years from
to-day, or five years from to-day; it is p
product that is often carried on vessels
and sent abroad to foreign markets,
and we do not propose to run anv r;sl,
in the matter" That is all. There
never was an iota Of evidence that #
injured the milk in any way, or that
the milk was affected in any way, and
IN answer to the question, might saw
that some OF the finest butter. that
brings top prices in the open market
is made from cows that are fed unon
ensilage. Now, ensilage is nothing in
the world but canned fodder, You

The French day of thanksgiving is

! settle. The weight of ensilage III a
silo whe7 settled is from forty to fifty
pounds per cubic foot, and the result is
that it settles so compactly as to drive
the air out and the ensilage keeps so
long as the air is not allowed to come
in contact with it. Now, Mr. Stouffer
mentioned that ensilagt IN his silO was
at times of light color and that this
light colored ensilage became sour and
was not SO good. | think he would find
upon investigation that it was because
it was light ensilage, For instance, il
you were filling your silo and the ele-
vator which carried up the corn depos-
tied it in the center of the silo, you
would find that where it drops down
from the elevator that the leaves will
form one pile and the heavier PARTICLES
and ears OF corn another pie. Now,
wherever those leaves fall, unless YOU
take particular pains to move them
and mix them with some of the heavier
grain, you will find that it will make
practically worthless ensilage, it will
not settle sufficiently to exclude the
air, and it will not become cured, or
cooked, as you might say; there is not
sufficient heat developed to preserve it.
The better ensilage is where it settles
down in compact mass and excludes
the air. I want to say the best ensi-
lage | ever fed is of q dark brown color. !
Where it is of a light color, as Mr., .
Stoutfer mentions, it is not as good
and does not keep as well. think the
gentleman stated correctly when he
said that you could not get out of a
'ilo any more than you put into it.
