TWO GOOD THINGS FOR SlLO
Sorghum and Johnson Grass May Be
Used, But Not Considered as
Good as Dent Corn.

In reply 10 a query from Texas as
TO the use OF sorghum and Johnson
grass in the silo, the Hoard's Dairy
man makes the following reply:
Sorghum may be put into the siio
and We should expect IL to keep as
well in the south as 1t does in the
north. About the only difference be-
tween silage keeping in the winter
and in the summer is that little
more should lie led each DAY in sum.
mer than in winter. The air coming
in contact with the surface OF the
silage in summer spoils it more quick
ly than it will In winter. This is due
to conditions making II easy for the
different kinds Of bacteria and fungi
TO grow. But in an alright silo where
these plants cannot get in, silage Will
keep as well in a warm as in a cold
climate. Sorghum makes fairly
good siiage. but owing to the large
amount of sugar it contains the silage
becomes more acid than when made
from common field corn.
Johnson grass may be put into the
silo. Care must be taken. however,
to thoroughly pack it during the filling
process, and if it is a little toe girc
when put in liberal a:lourt of water
should be used We think IL a very
good practice. after the silo Is filled
no matter with what crop Il Is flied
to add q considerable amount OF wa
ter. While sorghum and johnson
grass may be put into the silo. yet we
think they are not as good crops to
use for this purpose as dent corn.

apart as TO freely admit the sunlight.
1t is possihle. however. that too
much has been made Of this objection.
as the experience of many has shown
that much milk may be obtained by
feeding corn grown thus on given
area of land.
II is a very convenient way of grow
ing ii, but II is costly of seed and does
not check weed growth so completely
aS when grown in rows.
For purely soiling food uses. when
corn is grown in rows the aim should
be to obtain from II as much bulk as
is consistent with the free and ample
opportunity to cultivate the crop in
the usual way.
This means that While the rows
should not be closer than three feet,
the corn may be grown thickly in the
row. To accomplish this the drill
may be made to sow seed twice or
three times virtually In the same
place.
The cutting may begin as soon as
the crop is in full tassel, and may be
continued until the crop is nearly, If
not quite, ripe. The season CT feeding
may be prolonged by planting at least
two varieties which mature at differ
ent times during season.

tBy PROF.. THOMAS SIGAWD
Corn is a great soiling crop. but
the same objections obtain to using IL
for soillng food purposes as obtain to
sorghum. The nutriment in It is less
prior to maturity than after maturity.
When fed in the form 4 ensilage il
is fed virtually as soilirg food, as il
is then fed slightly short of maturity
aud in the succulcEt form.
For this use no plant in America
will equal corn, and this is unques-
tionably the NOS economical way of
feeding it when IL is TO be fed for a
number of years.
Under such conditions it will abund-
antly pay 10 build a silo. relatively
narrow and deep. that it may be
adapted TO summer feeding.
The advantage Of a narrow silo over
wide one for such feeding arises
from the fact that less surface is ex-
posed from day TO day during the
summer when small quantities are
fed.
The sowing Of corn for selling on
the broadcast plan has but few advo-
Gates. IL has been condemned chieGy
on the ground of the small food value
possessed by corn so sown as com
pared with corn grown in rows 50 far
