233 1-3 tons of clover hay. This win
ter in particular demonstrates more
| clearly than most winters the value of
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
rs 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 a dairyman
and milks from 60 to rs cows, had all
OF his corn crop under shelter where
it 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-
trlents in the most palatable and d.
gestible form. The remainder of his
corn was cut up at once and put into
shocks to be shredded and the better
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.
SiIage Is Succulent.
There is one distinct advantage in
corn silage which is not enumerated
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. 1t is a common saving
that animals fed largely for a long
time on dry corn become burnt out.
and true it is that their digestive an.
paratus has become more or less i'm
paired. This result is overcome by
the feeding of succulent foods, which
fact has been recognized by feeders of
the older countries for many years.

reason for this is because of the high

condition in this respect, large gains
from the feed given him will result.
Prominence of the Sio.
In the eastern sections of the United
States, or more truly in the dairy dis
tricts, there is seldom a farm with.
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 silo.
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 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. It is a shame
and disgrace for the farmer In the
he cannot afford to produce butter for
an average price of from rs to 30 cents
a pound the year through, or milk
averaging when 1t reaches the con-
sumner more than five cents a 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 a 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 is
necessary for the farmer and dairy.

Judgment in. Feeding

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. 1t is not new idea that
cheap feeds are oftentimes more slim
usating to great results than are those
leeds 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 in small amounts had the power
Of producing great results. Conse-
ouently 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 of the same kinds of nutrients;
namely. 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 were analysed it was found that
they contained less protein, or the
most expensive feeding nutrient, than
did Gil meal, cottonseed meal, gluten
feed and many of the commercial
foodstuffs upon the market that are
sold for the purpose of forming bal
ancei ration when fed 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-
biliry to the ration, but the intelli-
gent, successful feeder of today finds
it possible to so mix his ration as to
make it sufficiently palatable without
the use of these condiments costing
eight or ten cents per pound.
Six Points to Consider in Feeding.
Besides the consideration of quality
and quantity, there are six essential

great losses of the farmer in the corn
belt at the present time is the loss of
foodstuffs which remain in the fields
exposed during the entire winter to
the elements of the weather, and any
method by which these same feeds
can be taken indoors out of the wealth
er and saved rather than wasted adds
greatly to the producing capacity and
to the net profits of the farmer.
Capacity Of the siIo.
1t is a 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 80 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, if
we were to build hay NOW that
would hold as much feed as a 10O-ton
silo, it would be necessary to build
barn with storage space for 800 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, If we were to build
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
build barn with the capacity to hold

points to be considered in formulating
Eations for the herd. They must be
palatable so that the cow will eat in
large amounts and waste very little
of the feed. They must contain sui
f7cient amount of digestible nutrients
and for this reason concentrates must
be fed in addition to hay, straw and
grass. They must be inexpensive in
order to insure a profit. There must
be sufficient amount of variety in
order that the feeder may change his
ration from time to time and keep
she COW always ready for her next
meal. There must be certain amount
of succulence summer and winter if
the ration is to accomplish the best
results.
The Sio.
One of the chief sources of all of
these points is the silo. There is no
feed more palatable, more easily d.
gested, affording more of a variety
and costing as small an amount in
the corn belt as does corn silage and
q am confident that the time is close
AT hand when silos on the farm will
be as plentiful as corn cribs are
at the present time. 1t has other ad-
vantages in that it is useful in feeding
sather farm animals. 1t supplies in
ei,e winter time the succulence of the

will be thrashed out in court.
No settlement has, as yet, been reach
