2A tons Of silage and costing $8.26
per steer To feed hay to the same
number of steers according to the Gus
tom among farmers in this state 1t
would require approximately ~ tons
Of good hay to feed steer the same
length of time and maintain him In
the same flesh as silage figured above.
The value Of 11S tons Of hay If placed
on the market this coming winter will
be at least $40 and possibly more.
Would it not pay to invest money in
a silo? A 50-ton silo would cost about
$175,~ depending on local markets for
the materials used and cost of labor.
1T will cost approximately $3.50 per
ton to NIL the silo, making SIS more
Investment. This brings the total in
vestment up to $3.50, making the sill
age cost S. per ton the first winter II,
% farmer wishes to get back his total
Investment the first year. Therefore.
if each steer consumes 2A tons of sill
age at IS per ton it would cost $13.75
Sper head to feed the steers four and
one-half months, while If fed hay this
coming winter it will cost not less
than $40 per head If we figure the hay

tive figure.
The Pennsylvania Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station found in their cattle
feeding experiments that by increas-
ing Incorporation of corn silage in a
ration for fattening steers, the profits
no F.odfNo uyo much
greater.
In feeding eightmonths-oid Here
ford calves during the winter on a
maintenance ration where the object
was to keep the calves in good thrifty
condition and not to fatten them, the
Illinois Agricultural station found
that when they fed a ration
composed of 25 lbs. of corn sill
age, 2 lbs. oats, and 4 lbs. Of mixed
hay per head daily, that the calves
gained 25 lbs. more per head than
when led ration composed Of 1873
lbs. Of shock corn (corn and fodder,
lbs. oats, and lbs. of mixed hay.
In each case just a very small quantity
Of oats and mixed hay was added to
the silRge and shock corn and both
lots gained in weight during the win
ter but the silage ration was much the
better Of the two. The calves fed the
silage ration were in much better
thrift and their hair was smoother
than the calves receiving the shock
corn. This same station also reported
that field of corn that will yield IS
bushels Of shelled corn per acre, made
10 tons Of silage when cut and put
into the siloe The feeding value of
corn silage is generally figured at So
per ton although it has been figured
anywhere from 50 to IS per ton de-
pending on the cost of the other feeds
which would replace it.
Silos may be constructed Of wood,
brick, concrete or concrete bricks.
Brick and concrete last life time
when properly constructed. They cost
more to build but when we consider
their lasting qualities We find deteriora-
ton in value practically nothing COM
pared with wood silo. Fer informa-
ton on the construction and capacity
of brick silos get Bulletin 129 Of the

TOTE ROAD FOR HOUSE
EMPLOYEES NOT ON THE JOB
Speaker Baker Reminds the States
Stenographers That They are
Working for the State.

LANSING, Jan. 25.-Speaker Baker
tickled the house with a typical north
country phrase yesterday during the
discussion over Rep. Symonds resolu'
ton for the appointment OF two adc-
t,onal house stenographers. The state
ment had been made that some of the
employees were not so busy with legis-
lative business as with their own az
fairs.
"If some member will furnish me
with the name of any stenographer
who isn't doing his or her share, Ill
shoe 'em the tote road
Baker says he intended the house
should have the fewest possible en-
ployes. But he also determined each
should be efficient and each should
be industrious. He outlined that they
were employed at state expense to
look after purely the state business
OF the representatives and not to con-
duct the private and business CORE
spondence of members of the house.
After considerable discussion and
some frank confessions from the mem
bers that they had but followed the
custom Of years standing and asked
the house stenographers to attend tc
their personal correspondence during
their sojourn in Lansing, the resolu
ton was beaten. Rep John Perry, OF
the steering committee. which appor
toned the number of employees. was
one of those who led in the fight
against the increase of the house
force OF stenographers.

Simpson will soon place guards around
