Capacity Of the silo.
1t Is well-known fact that 400
cubic feet of barn space is required
for the storage of one ton OF clover
hay; so cubic feet of silo space will
suffice for the storage OF one ton of
silage; therefore it 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 find
that one cubic foot of silo space con.
tains as much dry matter as two
cubic feet in the hay NOV, 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 will hold as
many digestible feeding nutrients as
two and one-third cubic feet of space
in the hay now In consequence. II
we were to build hay NOW that
would hold as much feed as 100-ton
silo, it would be necessary to build
barn with a storage space for 500 tons
of hay, or if we were to supply the
same storage capacity as Is found In
100-ton silo for the storage Of dry
matter, barn with capacity of 200
tons of hay would be necessary. Fig
uring further, II we were to build a
barn with the capacity for holding d.
gestible feeding nutrients in amounts
as great as could be stored in a 100
ton silo, it would be necessary to

Bryan and County Option.

tSlouN rams Argus Lea der ].
Mr.. Bryan has no right to say that
he was turned down by the whisky
element" People can hardly be made
to believe that even the democratic
party in Nebraska, which has stood
faithfully back of Mr.. Bryan for nearly
twenty years. has suddenly become a
saloon annex. People differ on the
wisdom of county option. and they have
a right TO differ, even tho Colonel Bryan
says not. If the defeat of county option
by the democrats OF Nebraska shows
that party is controlled by the whis-
ky element then It must follow that
South Dakota is also controlled because
the people of this state defeated coa0
ty option in a. referendum vote two
years ago. and are likely 70 do the same
thing again this fall. The experience OF
other states with county option is GER
tainly not such as TO recommend il IS
sure cure for the admitted evils of
the saloon system. and it is just barely
possible that Colonel Bryan does not

Prominence Of the Slio.
In the eastern secttons'of the United
States, or more truly In the dairy dis
tricts, there is seldom farm with
out one or more silos, and the day is
rapidly coming wleen tho man without
q silo will have dificult time in ma

one who resorts to the use - the silo.
This is true OF all farm products and
especially is 1t true Of dairy products

is paying for dairy products almost
as much as he can AFFORD to pay and
the dairy farmer should begin 70 real
ize that he Is receiving extremely
large prices for the commodities

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. 1t 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 il

233 1-3 tons OF clover hay. This win
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 &C.
count of the severe snowy weather.
AS result OF this, much OF this years
crop OF corn was ruined and
wasted. One of the largest corn rails
ers in Iowa who is also dairyman
and miiks from sc to Is cows, had sli
OF his corn crop under shelter where
1t could not be wasted in view OF the
fact that over so acres of his corn
went at once into his enormous silos
and was in good condition to afford
the greatest amount of feeding nu-
trients in the most palatable and d.
gestible form. Tie remainder of his
corn was cut up at once and put into
shocks to be shredded and the better
portion of the shredded fodder used
to supply dry matter for the COWS in
conjunction with the silage. and those
portions which might be termed as
waste were used as bedding to absorb
the heterogeneous waste from the ami
mails and returned again to the
field during the late winter or early
spring in the form of fertilizing con-
stituents for the upbuilding of the
fields from which the crop itself was
taken.
siIaae IL Sueculent.
There is one distinct advantage IN
corn silage which is not enum, rated
in its feeding analysis. That is the
moisture or succulence which it con-
tains. The American feeder has not
realized in the past the great value of
succulence added to the ration of his
farm animals. It is common saying
that animals fed largely for q long
time on dry corn become burnt cut,
and true 1t is that their digestive ap.
paratus has become more or less i'm.
Iaired. This result Is overcome by
the feeding OF succulent foods. which
I fact has been recognized by feeders OF
the older countries for many years.
