, Today Rome Miller, one of the most
ardent advocate of scientific farm.
| ing and stock raising in Madison
county is SLIDING his large eight-acre
field of corn for the feeding of his
, milk COWS this winter. The corn is
cut and made into bundles much the
same as wheat is cut by the binder.
| 1t is then carried to the chopper where
| the whole stalk and ear are cut into
: pieces about an inch long, then ele-
waited up into the silo, a large tank
about thirty feet high, and thrown in
, where it is sailed down and picked.
When the silo is full it is shut up air
tight for about three months and left
; to age. The theory of SLIDING corn
is that it becomes twice as nourishing
, as the common food usually fed to
= cattle during the winter months, and
makes the milk richer in butter fat.
| Mr.. Miller is the only farmer in this
part of the country who has one on
! his place.
