ed back to corn silage.
Lot 2 was fed cane silage for
the first period, corn silage during
the second period. and again cane
silage during the third period. 1t
was planned to get direct COM
parison of these two feeds by CON-
pairing the average of the first and
third periods with the second per-
iod in each case. The cows gradual
ly declined in milk flow. and the
average production of the first and

tically constant during the expert

the ration during the. experiment
was the change from one kind OF

Sorghum a Good Silase Crop

The dairy department of the
Kansas Agricultural College plan
ned an experiment two years ago
to determine the value of sorghum
for silage. In most parts OF Kan
sas the yields of the sorghums,
such as kafir and sweet sorghum.
is a great deal larger than that of
corn. and some seasons the yield is
several times larger than corn. 1t
was Thought that il these crops
could be made into silage, they
would be of particular advantage to
the farmers and stOckmen OF west
ern Kansas, where they have diff
Guilty in getting a crop of corn.
The findings are reported by o.
A. Reed, head of the dairy work.
and J. b. Fitch, assistant. The re-
port follows:
Corn Silage for Milk
Corn silage is slightly superior,
as a milk producer. to silage made
from kafir and cane.
Kafir silage ranks second as a
feed for milk cows, as shown by
the results of the experiment.
Cane silage ranks third as a
milk producer, according to the re-
suits here given.
The cattle seemed to gain in live
weigh. on cane silage more read
lily than on the silage made from
kafir or corn. This fact would in
idcate that it confined more carbo-
hydrates and sugar, or fattening nu
trients, than the other feeds.
The grain and hay ration was
constant and the kind of silage
was the only change made in the
feeding. 1t is Professor Reeds
opinion that the cane silage would
have proven the equal. ton for ton
of the corn or kafir silage. If the
grain ration were changed SO thai
the animal would use the nutrients
more economically. This could be
done by feeding more protein and
less fat-forming nutrients in the
grain ration.
Although the kafir and cane sill
age were shown to be slightly less
valuable than corn silage. from the
experiments just explained, there
are other factors that must be cor
sidered; namely. yield, and adapt
ability to local conditions. With
out doubt, the Increased acre yielt

on an acre.
Cane Seed Undigested

Cane Seed Undigested
1t was also noted during the ex-
pertinent that the majority of the
cane seed and a great amount of
the kafir seed was undigested. This
suggests that the nutritive value of
these crops as silage is. to a GER
tain extent. limited to the nutritive
value of the stalks and leaves.
The quality of silage from all
crops was very good. The kafir
silage was perhaps the poorest on
account of being immature when
the heavy frost forced am early har
vest.
The COWS ate the silage with
relish. The cane silage seemed to
be the most palatable. The silage
was stored in woOden-staved and in
cement silos. 1t kept as good in
cement as it did in the wood. -
The time for cutting cane and
kafir for silage is all important in
making good silage from these
crops. These crops should be prac-
tically mature; that is, the seed
should be mature. At this time,
the stalk is filled with sap and will
make good silage. If put up too
green it will make a sour silage.
These crops should be put up be-
fore frost instead Of putting it up
too green. After a heavy frost
the crop should be cut and ensiled
Immediately. II it dries out too

The first sorghum crop put i'm
the silo was the sweet sorg um
which is commonly called cane.
Previous experiments with this
crop, and the experiences of some
farmers, has given the general i'm
preston that the cane contains too
much sugar. that silage made from
it would be very sour. and that
stock would not eat It. Results
for the first year show that sii-
age made from the cane did not
contain as much acid at any tins
during the year as did that made
from corn. This, of course. is
quite contrary to the belief here.
tafore held by many. but 1t was
easily explained after a little inves-
tigation. Where cane had been
made into silage it had been put
up entirely too early. Those who
tried it had put it into the silo
at the same timethat they cut their
conn for silage.
At this stage of maturity the
cane contains entirely too much
sap or moisture. and If put up at
this time it is certain to result in
sour silage. The cane was not
put up until three weeks after the
corn silage was made. At this
time the cane seed was hard. but
the stalk was we'll filled with sap,
yet it did not cOntaina AN excess

this experiment was grown on up
land soil ON the college farm. One
third of the field was drilled and
another third was listed in The
remainder of the field was corn.
The drilled came made 12k tons OF
silage to the acre; the listed cane
s tons and the corn 8 tons to the
acre.

of 1912, with cane, one with kafir
