silage. In few words that subject
can be settled. No sio-no dairy.
Many dairymen are slow to see the adj
vantage gained by the silo, and still
.ollow the old travelled paths. This
reminds me OF the story heard. One
neighbor told another that silage was
no good and that it would eat out the
cows stomach and cause her to lose
her teeth. This man went home and
examined his cows for missing stom-
achs and teeth. He found young
heller with a tooth gone, but new
one was coming in its place. Another
COW that had eaten silage a dozen
years, and gave I44,ooo pounds Of milk
during that time measured I-2 feet
around the barrel. Surely silage had
never eaten her stomach out.
