About Silos and Silage

Prof. J. Kelly Wright teacher Of
Animal Hasbandry IN the UniEer-
sity school Of Agriculture vas the
next speaker. and made a splendid
impression OF his audlence. Professor
Wright Is en- advocate OF the silo and
stage, and believes also that stock
raising Is one Of the best and most
certain means Of enhancing the fertHAl
ity Of the soil. sIlase he thinks
the most practical. and best method
OF FEEDING stock. In his lecture Prof.
Wright said:
There are Just two things that
cause silage to spoil. viz: II the
cir reaches & the slage will rot and
it 1t Is too dry In the sIlo it
viii mould. In either cas- It viii
not do for feed. II these two fac
tors. l. e.. the moisture OF the con
tents and keeping the air out. are cen
trolled there Is no why snage
should not keep and make one OF our
best feeds. silage Is one OF the
very best feeds for the general fer
mer. Some people have the idea
that silage is the dairyman's feed
and his alone. This Is a grave mis-.
take. 1t matters little what the kind
of silo as so far as efficiency in keep
ling the sihsge Is concerned. n the
air Is excluded and the silage Is
moist enough to prevent moulding.
Some men who are not afraid to
risk their own workmanship in build
ing a silo build their own suos at
a cost varying from 500 to $50. Oh
ers who can afford TO put a little
more money into a staye sIlo. buy
their sllos ready made, follow instruc
tons and as a result have an Rbuad
ance OF good palatable and ~suoculea
feed. Many other men in Mis-
souri,, and other states for that mat
ter. who can afford to invest a BIT
tic more money build permanent silo
: of solid concrete, concrete blocks o
stone. The home made wooden siloi
last from 10 to Is years. depending
on the care they receive and the ma
terial from which they T made
The solid concrete silo is one o
the best permanent slos that a MAJ
cah build, 1t is just as successful
in keeping silage as any other kind
silo. One of the best solid concret
silos that l have seen is on III
farm at Hospital No. l al Fulton
There are two new cor
ri crete silos on the Agricultural Co
\ lege farm at Columbia.
