The silo is winning its way on tC
the farms Of the country because 1t is
proving to be an Indispensable equip
ment for winter feeding of stock. es
pecially cows In milk.
The most conclusive proof that the
silo Is all 1t claims to be is that In
every community where 1t goes It rap
idly wins its way to universal favor
On this point one farmer writes: Five
years ago l was one Of a half dozen
farmers In this neighborhood who
built silos. Now there are as many
put up each year. which ! consider
good evidence that the siio Is practical
and has come to stny."
To illustrate its practical points,
this enthusiast goes on to tell OF his
methods: On our farm We have a silo
II by 90 feet. and foundation extend.
ing into the ground two feet, making
1t % feet deep. For the best results.
l think IL by "a feet is the best size.
then II wanted more feed than silo
of this size would hold. would build
another.
I'VE MI our silo when the corn Is
~ dented or Just before It is ripe
enough to make fodder We have four
men in the held. two to cut the corn
and pile It In punches and the other
two to load the corn and fodder to the
wagons. 1t usually takes three wag.
ons. owing OF course to the distance
from the silo. We have our own cut.
ting box and horse power and cut the
silage very short. about one-half inch.
1t packs better when short and this
makes 1t keep better. In filling the
silo 1t takes one man in the silo to
keep It level and mixed. as the blow
ers separate the corn from the fodder"
Still another farmer in writing to
the Northwestern Agriculturist de-
clares unhesitatinslythat he has found
silage to be the best and cheapest sue.
culent feed he can produce. For the
dairy herd It is diffc.slt to find its
equal. A few years ago I found 1t
necessary to transfer my cows to a
barn away from the silo while making
some changes in the fixtures OF the
basement Of the barn where the cows
are regularly kept. During this time
the cows received no silage. but were
fed on some extra fine clover hay. etc
On this change of feed the decrease In
milk was one.third. but as soon as
changed them back to the ensilage
they soon regained in the milk.
'.As feed for breeding ewes and
for lattening lambs there is nothing
better. For 80 years l have made

the preceding one and that he hoped
each member would keep in heart the
responsibilities OF life
DIR. Snyder prefaced his remarks by
saying that they were not new: that
they contained old truths perhaps In
new settings. His theme was the at
tainment of broad vision and the real
ization Of ideals.
Hon. Frank c. Goudy then made the
address of the day. saying:

covered in the office of City Register
Regan which shows that Gen. u. s.
Grant in 1859 applied to the city OF ST.
Louis for a position as county engi-
neer, and was refused the place. That
General Grant did not get the position
which he asked for is shown by the
failure Of his name TO appear In the

time the position Of county engineer
was poor pay and its principal duties
dealt with the construction OF county
