HOW MUCH WILL SlLO HOLD?
Amount Can Be Closely Calculated
Provided Number and Kind of
Animals Are Known.
CBy A. d. WILSON,


The amount of silage required and
the size of silo needed to hold it can
be quite closely calculated provided
the number and kind Of animals to be
fed from it are known before build
ing.
An average COW or beef animal may
be fed about thirty-five pounds of sill
age per day and the usual period
during which silage is used in this
latitude will be about 30 days. Large
animals or those that are being fat
tened may consume considerably
more than thirty-five pounds per day,
but this has been found a fair aver
age.
In a silo of ordinary depth, the
average weight Of the silage Is about
forty pounds per cubic foot. Near the
top of the silo, however, where the
pressure Is not great, it will weigh
only twenty-five pounds per cubic foot
while at the bottom of a thirty-five
foot silo it may weigh sixty pounds.
Taking these averages, If a COW eats
thirty-flve pounds of ensilage in e
day, she will eat thirty-five fortieths.
or seven-eighths, Of a cubic foot per
day, and with this as basis 1t Is easy
to determine the number of cubic feet
Of ensilage required to feed a cow or
any number Of cows throughout the
season. The diameter Of the silo
must be such that the stock on hand
can use one or two inches Of silage
off the top each day during the win
ter and at least three inches per day
when summer feeding OF silage is to
be practiced. This Is necessary to
keep the silage from spelling.
A silo ten feet in diameter Is adapt
ed to feeding ten mature cattle. One
twelve feet in diameter will feed If
teen head, and one fourteen feet In
diameter will meet the needs Of TWEEN
ty head; but II there are thirty or
more cows 10 feed, a sixteen-foot silo
should be erected. These silos should
be thirty or forty feet, or even more
In height.

INTERLACHEN To
take THE LEAD
As Usual in the Observance
of R0adWOrk Dav.

The people of Interlachen, Mann
vile, Keuka and other points in that
section Of the county are organizing
for an orthodox observance of Road
work Day on lines laid down in the
proclamation of Governor Park Tram
nell.
This week the people are organizing
for the real work which will be per-
formed on the 21st Inst.
The ladies in all that section will
prepare dinner for the workers, and
it will be jolly picnic affair with all
neighbors taking a hand in a needed
community improvement.
J. H. Wylie of Interlachen, who was
in the city on Wednesday, stated that
all have agreed that the road most
needing attention is the small piece
of deep sand road connecting Inter
achen and Keuka. This will be grad
ed and hard-surfaced with gravel.
And the work it is hoped can all be
completed on this one day.

county are preparing to get together
for a community days work on the

County Fairs.

One of the movements in Forids
which The Metropolis has observed
with genuine interest, is that being
made for more county fairs in the
State.
Palatka and Putnam county are
the latest in the movement, and they
are getting ready for good county
fair to be held at Palatka the week
beginning December 10.
Putnam county is one of the best
in Florida and is producing many
things on a profitable basis, which are
of value to the State, and which will
ultimately make Florida one Of the
garden spots of America.
County fairs serve two-fold pur-
pose. First, they stimulate the farm
ers, truck growers and stockraisers
of a county to produce better stuff,
and to put it on show at its best.
Second, they show to the outsiders
what the county will produce, AND
stimulate interest on the part of the
homeseeker, who may see what can
be done in a community before he
locates there.
When the people of a county or a
community get their civil pride
awakened, and get into competition
with each other to produce better
things, it is bound to result in a gen.
eral betterment of farm products in
general and the farmers in particular.
Jacksonville should be deeply in
terested in the Palatka fair, and
should be well represented every day
the fair is on. We can't boost any
better propositions for Florida than
county fairs.-Jacksonville Metropo-

Capt. j. II. Bland, Governor Tram

battalion of four divisions was scat

the companies were put into service
along the coast, and after the war
they had quarters in the old armory.

and the boys lost all of their equip.

to pieces. The old battleship "Wask"
