the results than the silage At the
station three years ago the eve flock
had. considerable silage, in fact, all
they cared for. Also, the lambs were
not as strong at birth as they ought to
have been. and some loss was expe-
rienced at lambing time. But an ex-
cessive amount was allowed and ewes
were entirely too closely confined
without adequate exercise. Exercise
is an absolute necessity for pregnant
ewes If satisfactory results are to be
had at lambing time. Lack of an ex.
perienced shepherd to handle these
ewes at lambing time doubtless con-
tribpted to the loss. Since that year
we have had no bad results.
Back in the fall of 1907 the Indiana
station began to experiment with
silage for feeding pregnant ewes.
One lot Of ewes was fed silage along
with clover hay and grain. while an
other lot was fed more hay. slightly
more grain. but no silage. These two
lots of ewes were as nearly alike as
could be had. The next year prac.
ticaliy the same experiment was re-
pcatcus anu again IN l9Oy. During the
first year limited amount of silage
was fed. The second year, four
pounds per head. per day, was allow
ed and as no bad results accompanied
this liberal feeding. the last year the
ewes were given all they would clean
up. which was practically 4.6 pounds.
With all they wished Of the silage. no
deleterious results were observed eth
er in the ewes or in the lambs.
AS to results from these three
years experiments. the authors of
the bulletin concerning this experi.
ment say that the general thrift and
appetite of the silage ewes was supe-
rior to that of the lots fed hay and
grain alone. The ewes. having a ouan.
tity of silage. made-each year a Iarg-
er gain over winter than did those on
dry feed. The latter averaged for
the three years gain of six pounds
while the silage ewes gained 1915
pounds, or more than twice as much.
Yet the writer's state definitely that
this gain was not mere fat like corn

1t should be cultivated and cared

The Elbert County tribune., 1913-01-03

With the tremendous increase in the
use Of silos for utilizing a larger
amount of the corn plant and the
greater use of silage generally during
the last two or three years, there has
arisen great deal of inquiry. espe-
cially during the present winter. as
to the value of silage for sheep. Re-
Gently silage has come into general
use on cattle farms. Now that It's
value as a cattle food, from the stand
point OF cheapness. Is becoming more
and more apparent, the man who
owns sheep is beginning to ask why
he cannot share in a good thing. too.
writes Ellis Rail of the University of
Nebraska In Wallace's Farmer.
Unfortunately, the use of silage for
sheep feeding purposes has been tried
out to but a limited extent. Few
farmers have used 1t and the expert
ment stations have done little. From
all sources of investigation II seems
now that there is no reason why Sill
age shall not find a permanent place
in the list OF desirable and economical
foodstuffs for sheep. The writer has
met several men this winter who have
used it with satisfactory results, and
one man especially, who had fed out
quite string of sheep with silage al
most the sole feed, was very enthus-
iastic in his appreciation of it. We
have not found any men who have
had trouble from feeding It.
There has been a popular concep-
tion that silage is more or less dan
gerous to feed sheep, especially breed
ing ewes. 1t was thought that 1t had
weakening effect on the lambs, also
that there is likely to be some NOR
tality among the ewes. Such ideas do
not seem to be well founded 1t is
true that such results have been not
ed in fiocks which had silage, but
careful observations show that other
factors may have had more to do with

feeding would produce, but that the
ewes were in good condition to pro-
duce strong. vigorous lambs. 1t was n
noticeable fact that right straight
through the whole three years, tho
lambs from the ewes having the succu-
lent feed, 1. e., silage, averaged nearly
10 per cent larger at birth. As to the
cost of feed, the ration including
silage proved the more economical,
while more satisfactory results were
obtained. The lambs from these two
lots of ewes were all fed out for an
early market and those from each lot
did equally well, gaining nearly half
pound per day until they were sold.
The general results of this test run
ming for shree years show definitely
that the use of silage for ewes. even
in large amounts, will not interfere
with the health and thrift of the preg-
nant eve nor of her prospective
lamb. Also. the succulence which the
silage affords seemed to promote the
thrift and general health of the eve.
and because of the added health and
vigor, the foeti were better nourished.
with the consequent result that larg-
er lambs were produced. Furthermore
the producing of all these satisfactory
results did not affect the lambs un-
favorably, and the silage ration was
more economical.
Accurate data regarding the value
of silage in a ration for fattening
sheep and lambs is scarce, but what
there is indicates that 1t is useful. As
Co... 81
Michigan experiment station fed some
lambs on silage and other foodstuffs.
The gist of their findings is to the
effect that mixture of folders COM
posed largely of a good quality of
silage proved a cheap and successful
ration for fattening lambs.
The Iowa station at Ames made
some comparative tests of dry hays,
roots. and silage as roughness In 1906
and 1907. In lots fed the first winter,
the silage cheapened the ration con-
siderably. During the second winter
the various lots were fed for a long
period. 16s days. and the silage lot
refused to eat much silage. They ate
almost as much grain and hay as the
other lots did and the gain on these

was that with some of the other food
combinations. But the average of the
two years was favorable to the use OF
silage as a means of cheapening the
ration. The lambs from al lots fin
ished Into market toppers, but the
dressed carcasses showed the silage
lambs a little superior on the hook
Taking these few experiments then
into consideration. and also the gem
eral results which various feeders
have obtained In practical work. 1T
seems that silage has an important
place among desirable and economical
feeds for fattening sheep.
1t is my opinion that silage can be
fed to sheep with satisfactory results
The use of moidy or frozen silage may
cause trouble. but good, Clean, bright
silage can be used with excellent re-
suits, either as a succulent food for
breeding ewes in winter or as a cheap
but satisfactory and efficient roughage
for fattening lambs and sheep. This
opinion Is based partially on obsesva-
tions of fiocks which have been fed.
and partially on the experiments
quoted above. The results to date
point toward silage as a cheap and
valuable feed for sheep.
