DON'T STUFF THE HOG.

hog fattens more quickly by being
fed no more at any time than it will
eat It should always clean up all<fn
the trough. When it is fed, clean out
the trough and do not feed again un-
til he animal shows plainly that it
is hungry. If overfed so that it feeds
indifferently, it will lose less weight TO
permit it to go without food a day
than it wSuld p; continuing to feed
beyond it's appetite. Probably no other
animal is so sensitive to injury from
OVerfeeding as hog.

It is not always SO with the square
structure the silage in the corners of
a square building is apt to be very
poor in quality and often unfit for
feed.
Since the round building is the best
form to construct the next question
to consider is what kind of a round
silo should be built? The staVe silO,
which is manufactured by a number
of firms makes very satisfactory
building and one that lasts for many
years Farmers who have built the
stave silos are we'll pleaseG with them.
1t should be borne in mind that a
silo is nothing more nor less than a
large air-tight vessel in which feed
is canned for future use. The size OF
the silo depends upon the number OF
animals that are to be fed from it.
In the main it should be tall and
Slim 1t is difficult to build a silo toe
high but it is easy to build it too
large in diameter, The diameter should
be Of that size to allow at least a
two-inch layer of silage to be fed eacti
day from the top surface. IL the silage

we'll as the dairymen, will depend
largely on the contents of the silo for
green feed.
The progressive dairymen have long
realized the value of succulent food
for their COWS, and they have been
using silOs for many years. 1t is the
more conservative farmers who are
now rapidly becoming converted to the
use Of Stage and are making inquiries
in regard to the building of silOs and
many other questions pertaining to
this method of preserving feed. These
questions have led the writer to. pre-
pare these notes on the silo and 81
lage.
1t is a settled question that the silo
should be built round, for IN a build
ing of this shape the silage is best
preserved. In round structure the
contents settle more evenly than in
any other shaped building, and il the
corn is properly put into the slo the
material is nearly as good next to the
wall as it is in the center.
