There Is produced every year in this
country sufficient forage to feed liber-
ally all the live stock Of the land, and
leave a gVod balance besides. The
shortage OF supplies each year IL due
to the spelling and wasting Of forage

serving this forage will solve the
stock problem of the country. The
principal waste is now going on with
the corn plant. II is most noticeable
ir the corn belt states where perhaps
80 per cent. OF the stalk and leaves of
this most valuable forage is wasted
annually. AS economic stock produc-
tion is determined by the proper use
of forage. the silo furnishes a means
whereby all farm forage can be pre-
served and placed In the best possible
condition for feeding. The silo is too
well known to require description Of
this method. but its use is certainly
sadly wanting. 1t can be safely said.
