RELATION OF THE SILO
AND SILAGE TO DAIRYING
Development of This Method of Keeping Green Fodder Has
Made Winter Dairying Profitable.

Twenty years ago few farmers knew
what a siio was, and fewer still had
ever e one on led ensilage to their
stock. Il would probably have been
necessary o. that time to publish a
book describing the silo system, with
definitions Of sllo and ensllage. Now
all farmers who read agricultural pa
pers. or who attend agricultural o
ventions or agricultural colleges, are
at least familiar with the fact that a
silo Is an air tight structure used for
che preservation OF coarse fodder in
%succulent condition, and that silage is
the feed taken ont, even though they
have not had a chance to become ia
millar with the appearance and prop
critics of the latter.
1t was not until the latter part OF
the '70's that the building of silos in

present time. Besides this comes the
great problem of succulency.

silage on the digestive system and
general health of the animal is very
beneficial. It is a mild laxative and
acts in this way very similar to green
fodder.
The filing OF silos is the all-impor.
tant problem at the present time. AS
has previously been stated, corn is
one OF the best feeds for making sill
age. Corn should be left in the field
before cutting until It has passed
through the doughty state, that is until
the kernels are well dented and
glazed, as in the case of flint varieties.
The cutting of corn for the silo is
usually done on small farms by hand.
Many farmers have been using self
raking and corn-blnding ~harvester9
for this purpose, while others report
good success with a sled or platform
cutter. IL the corn stands up well
and Is not of a very large variety,
the end sought may be reached in a
very satisfactory manner by either of
these methods. II, on the other hand,
much Of the corn Is down, hand cut
ting is to be preferred.
A number of different makes OF
corn ]harycsters and corn cutters are
now on the market, and it is very like
ly that hand cutting for fodder will
be done away with in the years to
come, at least on large farms.
After the corn is cut, a low rack,
with wagon. Is very essential for haul.
ing the corn, for corn In the green
state is extremely heavy and requires
much energy to load the same on high
wagons. Tho corn having been hauled
from the field to the sllo has still to
be reduced to a fine, homogeneous
mass, convenient for feeding and eco
nomical as far as the utilization of
the silage for feed Is concerned. In
order to do this the whole Of the corn,
ears and all, may be run through the
ensilage cutter.
The corn Is unloaded on a table
and run through the cutter, after
which 1t is carried through a tube by
means Of a blast OF air, up into the
silo window, and is delivered into the
middle OF the silo.
If corr is sliced ears and all, 1t Is
necessary to keep a man or boy in
the silo while It is being filed to level
the surface and tramp down the sides
and II left by itself the
heavier pieces of corn will be thrown
each way and the light leaves and tops
will come closest to the discharge,
and as a result the corr will not set
tie evenly and the different layers OF
ensilage will have a different feeding
value.
After the filling process, the cut
materials should be leveled off, and
the common and most successful prac-
tice is to keep the material higher at
the sides than in the center, ana do
all the trimping at, and close to, the
sides, where the friction of the wall
tends to prevent as rapid settling as
takes place in the center. For this
reason, in the modern deep silo, no
tramping, or at least as little as pos
sible, should be done except close to
the walls. Tho weight OF silage ac-
complishes more than any amount of
tramping, and all that is necessary is
to see that the silage Is evenly dis
tributed and to assist in settling by
some tramping at the sides.
After the silo is filled the silage is
left to settle. In the course of sew
eral weeks a layer at the top, approx
imately a foot deep. will begin to de-
