O
Farmers Discuss the Use Of the Silo.-
At the last meeting of the Fallston Farmers
Club the subject discussed was the silo. We
append the views of some of those present:
Mr.. w. s. B. Preston said: II have had a
siIo two years and am much pleased with it,
and think it is the cheapest way to take care of
the corn crop. Ensilage makes good succu-
lent food and the cows do better on it than on
dry food do not remember the difference
In the cost of feeding ensilage and the old
way of feeding the dried material" Mr..
Preston described Prof. Gould's plan of build
ing silo, with wooden hoops.
Mr.. Charles E. Burton said he had been using
a siio of $50 tons capacity for one year and part
of another, and will by the end of this year
be able to give the actual cost of feeding each
cow. He believes in packing the ensilage well
and keeps two men in the silO leveling and
tramping all the time he is filling it. 1t re-
quires ten men, three wagons and two teams,
and takes about two days to fill his sil0. He
cuts the ensilage about One-half inch long, and
uses steam engine for power. He would pre-
fer to fill one day, then let it settle until the
next day to finish, e he could get more ips
the cow in good condition. Is feeding one
half bushel of ensilage and one half peck Of
bran, one light rack of hay and one-half bum
die of fodder and one ounce OF salt to each
COW per day, and calves after they are six
weeks old one peck of ensilage. Does not use
more than one-half as much has as be did be-
fore be had the silo Does not cut the ensilage
too green. but when is is glazed and just too
hard for the table. Cut low and lay the stalks
crosswise of the rows, four bills to each pile.
One man can load for three to hand up. It
costs as much to fill as tocut and husk.
Mr. ]. B. Twining said II am nearly con-
verted, but it has been question in my mind
whether it really was as much saving as peo-
pie thought. l am getting good results, but
am feeding more grain"
Mr.. T. w. Scarf. after using the silo three
or four years, likes it very well for both COWS
and steers and finds it much the cheapest way.
It costs less than to cut and husk. Feeds one
half bushel of ensiage with one peck Of grain,
composed of one-third bran and two-thirds
corn and cob meal, to each COW per day.
Mr.. w. G.. Hoskins was in favor of the sio.
Get your corn off early to seed to wheat Cut
low and save fodder above allowing it to ripen
Mr.. Howard Amoss said ut cleans your
land and is |, good thing, If you can get the
Mr.. Benjamin Amoss-It is coming to the
Mr.. w. s. B. Preston asked: "Can Mr..
Dietrich feed thirty COWS from thirteen acres
without the silo? Can he do It in any other
way?"
