labor and land, than by any other
method known.
2. That silage comes nearer being q

that can be had In the winter.
3. Thirty pounds day ID enough
s!lage for an average sized Jersey COW.
Larger cattle viii eat more.
4. A cubic foot Of sIlage from the
middle Of medium-sized silo Will av-
erage about forty-fv pounds.
D. For lS2 days, or half year. an
