out one or more silos, and the day Is
rapidly coming when the man without
a silo will have a difficult time IN ma
king a profitable competition with the
one who resorts to the use OF the sllo.
This IS true of all farm products and
especially is it true of dairy products
if the consumer has been led to the
point where he is paying extremely
large prices AS a matter of fact. he
is paying for dairy products almost
as much as he can afford to pay and
the dairy farmer should begin to real
ize that he Is receiving extremely
large prices for the commodities
which he is producing. II is shame
and a disgrace for the farmer In the
corn belt to be compelled 10 say that
he cannot afford TO produce butter for
an average price of from % to 30 cents
q pound the year through. or milk
averaging when il reaches the con-
sumner more than five cents quart
This statement is in view of the fact
that farmers in older countries are
doing this very thing on land which
rents annually for as much as large
portion of the land In the corn belt
sells for. II is possible to make great
profits out Of the dairy business at the
present prevailing prices of both dairy
products and food stuffs. but it is
necessary for the farmer and dairy
man to surround his efforts with bet
ter conditions in the form of better
cows, better feed produced more in
rtelligently and combined more thought
fully. In other words, the time is close
at hand when the up-todate farmer
will be vastly different from the farm
er and dairyman that we have known
in the past. He will place himself
more in d position of the business
man, the merchant or the manufac-
turer. He will be acquainted with
every individual animal upon his farm
even as is the merchant acquainted
with everyone of his customers. He
will be acquainted with every feature
pertaining to every acre of ground OF
which his farm is made up, even as
the manufacturer Is acquainted with
every machine in his factory. When
ever this time comes conditions on
the farm will not only be more inten-
sive but methods will be more diversi-
fed and although it is difficult to pre-
dict that prices of farm commodities
will be much greater than they are at
the present time, ii IS certainty that
farms will be more valuable and the
commodities that are now being pro-
duced upon the farm. especially the
dairy products, will be produced for a
much less cost per pound than at the
present time.

PROFITABLE DAIRYINC

Judgment In Feeding

silage: therefore IL requires eight
times as much storage space In the
hay NOW to store one ton of feed as
1t does in the silo. However, corn
silage contains so per cent of water
and for this reason the silo will not
contain as great an amount of dry
matter in comparison. but we do fEd
that one cubic foot of silo space con-
tains as much dry matter as two
cubic feet In the hay NOW. and re-
duced to terms of digestible feeding
nutrients. which in reality is the
standpoint from which all foodstuffs
should be figured, we find that one
cubic foot of silage space viii hold as
many digestible feeding nutrients as
TWO and one-third cubic feet of space

we were to build. hay NOW that
would hold as much feed as a 100-ton
silo. 1t would be necessary to build a
barn with a storage space for 500 tons
of hay. or il we were to supply the
same storage capacity as is found In
a 100-ton silo for the storage of dry
matter. a barn with a capacity of 200
tons Of hay would be necessary. Fig
uring further, if we were to build a
barn with the capacity for holding di-
gestible feeding nutrients in amounts
as great as could be stored in 100
ton silo, it would be necessary TO
build barn with the capacity TO hold
233 1-3 tons OF clover hay. This win
ter in particular demonstrates more
clearly than most winters the value OF
a silo and the feeding nutrients that
can be saved through its use. 1t was
estimated that in the middle of Janu-
airy there was remaining in the corn
fields of the corn belt from 20 to
25 per cent of this last years crop
which could not be harvested on ac-
count OF the severe snowy weather.

To accomplish the most profitable
results from the dairy herd judgment
must always be used in selecting and
preparing the feeds which compile the
ration. II is not new idea that
cheap feeds are oftentimes more slim
ulating TO great results than are those
feeds which sell for high prices There
was a time when the feeder of the
corn belt was misled into believing
that there were certain feeds that If
fed FL small amounts had the power
OF producing great results. Conse-
Cuently he was led to purchase In
large amounts patent stock foods
which cost him anywhere from 800
to 5000 per ton. Ten years ago there
were thousands of tons OF such feed
sold annually. but greatly to the credit
of the present-day farmer and feeder.
there is being very little of this food
sold at the present time. The farmer
realizes that all foodstuffs are made
up oil the same kinds of nutrients;
rameiy, protein. carbohydrates. fat
and mineral matter. The only diff
ference between any of these feeds is
in the proportion of these different
nutrients. When the patent stock
foods we're analysed 1t was found that
they contained less protein. or the
most expensive feeding nutrient. than
did oil meal, cottonseed meal, gluten
feed and many of the commercial
foodstuffs upon the market that are
sold FOR the purpose of forming bal
ance1 ration when fad with corn. The
chief value Of the stock foods rested.
of course. in their stimulating and ap-
petiZing power. In other words, these
foods had the power OF adding palata-
biiity TO the ration. but the intelli-
gent. successful feeder of today finds
il possible to so mix his ration as to
mako 1t sufficiently palatable without
the use of these condiments costing
eight or ten cents per pound.
Six Points to Consider In Feeding.

and quantity. there are six essential
