Waste ef siIaae,

The following Is a Canadian farm
er's method OF preventing waste of
silage.
Each year as frequently as silos
are filled there ia considerable waste
owing to the surface layer coming in
contact with the air, The loss varies
with the condition Of the corn and
with the attention 1t has received after
1t is placed ia the sllo. In seasons Of
plenty it is a common practice to sim
ply fill the silo and take chances on
what would spoil. This is a very
wasteful practice 1t is possible to
bring this waste down to a minimum
BY a little attention after the silo has
been filled ana thoroughly tramped.
Last year, owing to the scarcity of
corn, wc made an extra effort to pre-
serve all that we had. AS a result Of
ihese efforts there were scarcely two
inches of spoiled silage. After the
EiIo was filled and thoroughly tramp
ed we put a two inch layer Of clover
chaff on it. We then dampened this
chat with a barrel Of water in which
had been dissolved ten quart pail of
hlt This brine proved to be the
most effectual preserver we had ever
tried. On the surface, when we came
to feed the Stage, the two inch layer
on top peeled off slick and clean and
left good silage Immediately under
meath. Try this scheme on your silo
this fall. and you win save much fod-
der that would otherwise be spoiled.
II is much better than chaff and grow
