The Modern SilO

the whole Of the crop is render
ed available as succulent, palata-
bic feed. There is some differ
ence Of opinion as TO what eX-
tent the use Of the silo would
increase the feeding value Of an
acre Of land. Some contend
that IL would double IL, while
others think IL would increase il
three or even tour fold. 10
seems reasonably certain that
the feeding value of an acre
would at least be doubled, thus
enabling twice the number Of
stock 10 be kept on the same
amount OF land. In other words,
the farmer could sell halt his
land. save half his investment IN
it. and still raise the same num-

For fertilizing purposes there
would be twice the amountof ma

the farm and the value Of the
land. as the number of stock
fed would be doubled. while I'M
der the old system the stalks
are left out in the field to be
dried up by the sun or blown
away by the wind.
Corn stalks left in the field are
worth only SOC to Sl00 per
acre. The best results that can .
be obtained from stalks in the
shock is Is per cent of their
feeding value. making II neces- /
sary to have four times as much .
in the shock as il would be nee /
essary to have in the silo to get .
the same results. and the longer .
the stalks remain IN the field the /
more they lose their feeding
value, while in the silo they lose .
none of their nutrition through .
the lapse of time.
IsDIAN CORN MOST PROFITABLE /
But the usefulness of the silo !
is not confined to Indian corn /
alone. Other crops. such as
sorghum. kaffr corn, milo maize.
millet. etc.. may be
put in the silo with much profit.
AS A LABOR SAVER
To illustrate the fact that the
silo is a labor saving device in
feeding stock we here quote
some figures from the Nebraska
Experiment Station. relative to
the time required to feed forty
head of cows.
One man went up into the silo.
threw down the ensllage, put it
into the feed carrier and fed
forty cows IN thirty-fve minutes.
To feed the same cows corn fod-

it in the yard or rack. When
we consider the one hundred and
eighty-one feeding days in the
wear this is a large item.

AS A MONEY MAKER

The following figures are
taken from the averages as
given by the Experimental Sta
tons of Wisconsin, Iowa, Kan
sas and Nebraska, and show the
cost Of producing sllage and the
profit arising therefrom:

This one ton of silage has a
feeding value of $500 per ton
and costs only $500. This is
why the silo is coming so rap
idly into general use among bus
mess like and progressive farm
ers who have the foresight TO
get all the possible profit out of
their occupation. The silo will
pay for itself in one year.

Surrogate Cohaian caused . mild SEN

son to acquaint with certain charges
against the Farmers Loan and Trust

bitterly attacked the trust company
