Most of our readers doubtless know
something about silage, and what it
will do. Still we feel that too much
stress cannot be laid on the feeding
value of this kind of feed for dairy
COWS.
Let us consider some of the adj
vantages of the silo. We must under
stand first, of course, that sllage
means green feed and although we
generally cure hay for keeping by
means of silo, we can put it in green
and if proper precautions are taken,
it will be excellent feed all the year
round.
There is decidedly low per centage
of loss of feeding value OF the crop
when put into silo as compared
with curing and storing the dry feed.
This difference comes not only in the
loss CT water. making the hay less
succulent, but the decomposition OF
the dry matter, the food elements,
takes place and we find that the per
cent of loss in ordinary curing of
crops is from 30 to so per cent, while
in the silo the loss is only from i've
to ten per cent. That is, nearly all
the feeding value the crop contains
at the time of cutting is retained in
the silage.
The succulence it affords the ration
is a great factor in favor OF silage.
The natural food for a COW is green
grass containing lots of water. Her
system is such that she can handle
such feed to better advantage, and
not ouly that, but it enables her to
digest other dry feeds SO that she can
make better use of them. | mean by
this that while a cow may be getting
a complete ration of dry feed and
will seemingly be doing well, If we
add also some silage or some other
succulent crop and at the same time
take from the dry ration an equivalent
of nutrients we will find that she will
come up decidedly in her flow of milk.
1t has been said that COWS fed on
silage all the time are less liable to
milk fever and other diseases, and
that can probably be explained in that
these succulent crops keep the COW
laxative and she is able to ward off
the attack.
Another advantage of silage is that
it gives a uniform quality of feed.
A crop of corn, for example, when
cured as fodder, or crop of clover
or alfalfa cured as hay will vary in
quality according to the amount OF
exposure. Under such conditions,
although the amount given could be
controlled, the actual amount OF
nutrients would vary and of course
the cow could not do her best. When
silage is stored properly there is prac-
tically no variation in the quality OF
the feed. 1t must of course be cut at
the proper time to give largest amount
of nutrients, but when once In the
silo there is sure to be a feed which
has very nearly the same composition

SiIage for Dairy Cows.

all the way down, SO that if your
ration is once computed it will always
be correct.
do not mean by this that you
should always feed the same ration,
that is impracticable, for the COW like
any other animal can do better when
she has variation. But the varia-
ton nearly always is made through
the grain ration and is best made
there. Different kinds of silage may
also be grown to give variation.
The economy of storing the feed is
another point in favor of the silo. 1t
takes considerably loss space for stor-
age of crop when put in the silo
than when cured and stored in the
dry state. ton of cured hay will
occupy about 400 cubic feet, when
stored in the barn, while ton of
silage will take up approximately so
cubic feet.
A silage crop can be harvested with
out the danger of having it ruined by
rain; while heavy rainfall will dis
continue the work of filling the silo it
will in no way injure the feed, where
as in curing the crop, a very large per
centage of the food elements is lost
when it gets wet, especially il it is
nearly cured by the time the rain
comes.
When silage is fed it means more
intensive farming, for more COWS can
be kept on a certain area than when
other methods of feeding are used.
More COWS means better land, because
dairying builds up rather than ex-
hausts the fertility of the soil.
CROPS FOR THE SILO.
Some of the crops that have been
used successfully in the silo are corn,
alfalfa, red clover, peas and oats and
a few others. All of the legumes have
proven to be a more economical feed
when sliced than when fed dry.
The writer has recently had the
opportunity of visiting practically all
the dairy sections Of the state of
Washington and parts of British
Columbia and Oregon, and in talking
with the farmers in regard to crops
we find that there are very few local
tiles in this Northwest country where
corn cannot be grown successfully for
the silo. OF course it must be a
variety that natures early and al
though the yield of grain will be light
as compared with that in the corn
belt, it will be amply large to make
il profitable as silage field.
For the best feed, corn should be
cut as soon as the kernels begin to
glaze and the bottom leaves are brown.
There is not as much danger in let
ting it get too ripe as in cutting be-
fore it gets ripe enough. Corn cut
too green will make sour silage and it
is impossible to remedy it, while too
ripe corn can be made into perfect
slage by the addition of water at the
time it goes into the silo.

that the women who are responsible
for the almost unpaid toll of the slum
children over willow plumes are not
the rich women who win give for their

one is certainly compelled to infer that
If these little children are to be saved
willow plumes should be put at pro-
hibitiye prices. but since our women
must walk gay" the aristocracy that
is rooted in democracy can hardly do

therefore pay what they can. but they
cannot pay much. The logic is clear.
