ELY BOYS BAND
MAKES FIRST APPEARANCE.

The boys band, of which mention
has been made from time to time in
the local papers, gave an outdoor
concert at noon. Christmas day, and
in their first public appearance made
a very favorable impression with
those who listened to the concert.
The boys have taken genuine inter-
est in the enterprise, from the start.
and under the dictatorship of B. f..
Monaghan and management of r. A.
Schillar, the organization has become
quite proficient. The encouragement
of applause that greeted the selec-
lions on Thursday will stimulate fur
Their effort, and there seems no rea-
son why the band will not remain a
permanent institution, that will re-
eeiye hearty public patronage. A
band, whether amateur or profession
al. requires money, and for the pur-
pose of raising funds the boys will
give a concert at the Rockhill-
ShalIenbarger hall, January "A. Music
will be furnished by an orchestra
composed of members of the band.
The Christmas concert program
was as follows:

found that silage reduced the cost Of
production of a gallon of milk 39.03
per cent and the cost of producing a
pound of butter fat 1913 per cent, when
compared with cows fed on cottonseed
hulls as a roughage. This experiment
is very important, as the results were
gotten from herds over the entire
State and are representative OF actual
farm conditions. 1t is further inter-
esting to note that the silage was VAL
ued at SO and the hulls at Sc per ton.
believe that the estimate of SO per
ton for silage was somewhat high, as
it can be produced for $3.50 per ton,
and we all know that at present hulls
are worth considerably more than Sc
per ton.
The above experiments all show
that silage is good feed for dairy
COWS. In fact, as I have often stated,
I believe that a silo will mean the
difference between success and failure
to the man who is in the dairy bust
ness to stay, and while we often hear
the expression, 81 can not afford to
build a silo." more correct statement
would be, 81 can not afford to be
without a silo."
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1913-03-18

the two feeds are nearly equal, and
that it would be left with the dairy
farmer as to what system would be
the cheapest to use for summer feed
ing, depending largely on the price of
labor The experiment brings out one
very strong point in favor of silage,
namely, that it kept up the milk flow
during the winter months.
Silage Replacing Grain.
A large number of dairymen over
the State are feeding heavy grain Ca-
tons, often as high as II to II pounds
daily per COW. They claim that such
feeding is necessary to get, the milk
flow, and in some respects they are
right in this statement, but at the
present price of grain or concentrated
feed it requires a very excellent dairy
COW to produce milk at a profit when
over 10 pounds of grain is fed, and the
substitution of some cheaper feed than
grain is, therefore, of economical i'm
portance in the production of milk
To determine whether silage could be
used profitably to replace some of the
grain feed for dairy cows, the Ohio
station conducted the following test:
Two lots of four COWS each were fed
for a period of four months, one lot
on a ration containing no silage but
IA pounds of concentrated feed, the
other lot on so pounds of silage with
4 pounds of concentrated feed. The
two rations contained practically the
same amount of dry matter and crude
protein and the two lots of COWS were
identical regarding uniformity OF
breeding and individuality and time
of calving. Results show that the
COWS on slage averaged two and one
half pounds of milk and one-fourth OF
a pound of butter fat per cow daily
more than the COWS that were not fed
silage. In other words, besides produc-
ing more milk, the ration was cheap
ened considerably, as 60 pounds of sill
age took the place of 10 pounds of
grain, or 6 pounds of silage was equal
to about / pound of grain This grain
feed consisted of a mixture of oat
meal, corn meal and wheat bran, and
would be worth at present market
prices at least $2S per ton. This
makes our silage worth one-sixth of
S28, or $4.66 2-3 per ton, when it can
be produced for at least $3.50 per ton.
SiIage Compared with Corn Fodder
When compared with corn fodder
stalk, leaves and ear cured dry, it
was found by the New Jersey expert
ment station that the COWS fed on sill
age produced 1913 per cent more milk
than those on the dry fodder. In this
case both rations contained the same
amount of dry matter or digestible
nutrients.
The Economy of the SIo.
In an experiment extending over a
period of two months with thirty cows
the Mississippi experiment station
found that q IL tons Of silage took
The place of 1910 pounds of wheat
bran, 1920 pounds of Johnson grass
hay and 14,49O pounds of cottonseed
bulls. At the present market price of
wheat bran, Johnson grass hay and
cottonseed bulls this would make the
corn silage worth $6.45 per ton, or in
other words, assuming that it costs
$3.50 per ton to produce this silage,
there was a saving of 1895 on every
ton of silage that was fed.
In later bulletin published by the
same station, valuing silage at SO per
ton and hulls at Sc per ton, 1t was

SILAGE FOR DAIRY COWS

Concluded from Monday)
Slaae Compared to Selling.

OldSS SN'iHe'' ~ ~ ON''''S'
Selling, or feeding green feeds in
the barn, is a system of feeding dail |
COWS that has proven highly profitable
in some sections, especially where the
price of land is too high to warrant
its use as pasture. Such a system has
it's limitations, however, and unless
labor is cheap it is not to be recon-
mended extensively. The question nat
urally arises if the same results can
be gotten from feeding silage instead
OF the soilage crops.
The two systems have been thor
oughly compared by the New Jersey
experiment station. In this expert
ment a herd of twenty-three COWS was
fed on green feeds (soling) from May
to November 1, and on silage the
other six months. The experiment
was continued for seven years. The
COWS freshened quite uniformly
throughout the year, thereby making
the results comparable.
The average yield of milk and fat in
pounds is shown in the following table
for each six months period:
Average Per Cow.
Milk. Fat.
Lot /. Soiling crops, May
1 to Nov. 1........... 3402 1865
Lot @ Silage, Nov. l to
MAY .............. 1924 1872. 4
Although slightly more milk and fat
was given during the period the COWS
were fed on soiling crops, we must
consider that this feeding was carried
on in the summer and the silage was
fed in the winter
From this we would conclude that
so far as milk production is concerned
