dry weather or in winter, when green
pasture cannot be had, this feed is
equally good in producing a flow of
milk or in putting fat on animals. One
acre of crop harvested as silage will
feed twice as much stock as the same
amount harvested in any other man
ner.
Like glass fruit Jar, silo must be
water-tight and jointless to keep the
silage from molding or dry firing"
For this reason. and also because no
painting or repairing is ever neces
|. sary, solid-wall concrete silos are
coming into general use.
The best silos are built circular in
shape. The size depends upon how
many animals are to be fed daily, the
quantity in pounds for each animals
daily feed, and the number of days it
may be necessary to feed them. The
silo should be Of such size that a layer
of silage at least two inches In depth
will be removed each day after feed
ing has begun. This prevents thin
top layer from holding. A dairy COW
requires about forty pounds of silage
per day, and the following table is
based on this amount Forty pounds
is also the average weight of a cubic
foot of silage.
Locate the silo where it will be con-
venient for feeding. Usually it is
joined to the barn by means of a
chute and passageway with doors.
Since the silo and its contents are
heavy, it must be built on solid
ground. The bottom of the foundation
should go below frost line. The silo
may with advantage. extend four to
five teet into the ground. Dig the pit
large enough to allow for the thick

In order to save lumber the con-

MANS CHARACTER ON A BAT

Paris The manner in which the

are understood by all porters and 9th;

Cow WeedInc.

The removal Of weed cows from the
herd is doing more for the dairy bust
ness than perhaps any other one
thing. So profitable has this line of
dairy work proved that many dairy
men who were about ready to abandon
the dairy business have taken fresh
start. But the mere removal of weed
cows is not enough. Their places
must be taken by better ones. These
are easily secured by using pure-bred
sirea Of known milk producing strains.
Records show that this line OF work is
also profitable. More and more dairy
men annually are adopting It, Some
men themselves do the work of weed
ing and breeding: others rely upon
cow-testing associations. These as
sociations cost little and pay well as
