1. Practice rotation; keep ahead OF

FEEDING sILAGE IN FIELD.
Method Followed by One Man Who

+. r. Hembrough. Morgan county.
Ill, has an idea of feeding cattle which
We believe not many are practicing at
the present time.
Mr. Iiembrough. says tine Farmers
Review. has used a silo for several
years and has drawn his silage out to
the feeding lot in wagon loads and
there thrown it into the rack direct
from the wagon. He also feeds large
amount of it in thu barns.
Last season he decided to put up a
large silo in this feeding lot. deciding
on this location for several reasons:
First, that il was out of danger of
fire; second II was easier filing il. as
there vas nothing in the way: third
that he could load his wagon in peace
and save the cattle from being dis.
turbed, and fourth. having the feed
close to where he was going 10 use it.
AZ the present time Mr.. Hem
brough is hauling a i0-bushel load Of
silaSe twice a day. feeding il TO 6i

that the silage drops directly into the
