cut green as it will produce en- inferior
silage. Kafir corn, milo, feterita and
similar grain SorghumS should be al
lowed to ripen seed before cutting, as
they contain higher percentage OF
Juice and sugar then corn; hence, if cut
earlier would likely produce sour sill
age. The sweet sorghums must be
allowed to ripen thoroughly on account
of their high juice and sugar content.
Too often silage crops are cut green,
which results in poor Silage.
COST OF FILLING THE SILO.
The cost of filing a silo varies con.
siderably, depending upon the manage.
ment of labor and the length of the
haul This cost, on 81 different farms
in Michigan and Wisconsin reported in
Farmers Bulletin 292, United States
department of agriculture, Sc cents per
ton. Increased cost due to length of
haul is unavoidable. Much depends,
however, upon management of labor
and teams in filing. The figures com.
piled from these 81 farms bore out the
fact that the type Of machinery used
had little to do with the cost so long as
the machinery was efficient, They
also brought out the fact that much OF
the increased cost of putting UP silage
is due to the poor utilization OF teams
and labor. The man who haulS small
loads increases his cost materially
About eight men are required ordi'
narily. One man with three horses to
the corn harvester; two men to load
| wagons in the field; three or four men
with teams to haul to the cutter; one
man to feed the cutter, and one man in
the silo to spread and tramp the silage,
exclusive of a man to attend the engine
This outfit may be reduced by two mer
by utilizing two boys to drive wagons
from the field to the cutter and by
having one man unload wagons.

ADVANTAGES OF THE SILO.

l. Silage keeps young stock thrifty
and growing all winter.
2. 1t produces fat beef more cheaply
than does dry feed.
3. 1t enables cows to produce milk
and butter more economically.
4. Silage is more conveniently
handled than dry fodder.
S. The silo prevents waste OF corn
stalks, which contain about one-thlrd
the food value of the entire crop.
6. There are no agravating corn
stalks in the manure when silage is
fed.
7. The silo will make palatable food
of stuff that would not otherwise be
eaten.
8. 1t enables a larger number OF
animals 10 be maintained on a given
number Of acres.
9. 1t enables the farmer to preserve
food which natures at rainy time OF
the year, when drying would be next
to impossible.
10. It is the most economical method
of supplying food for the stock during
the hot, dry periods in summer, when
the pasture is short.

Accordingly one can figure, the size of
Silo required to feed a certain number
of COWS a given number of days. One
can also figure the exact period re.
quired to exhaust a silo of given
height.
SILAGE CROPS.
A silO 80 feet deep will furnish Silage
for practically six months if fed at the
rate of two inches daily. A Silo 30 feet
deep will hold a greater tonnage than
two siloS Is feet deep, all being the
same diameter. A silo 81 feet deep and
Ia feet in diameter has capacity of ap.
proximately 100 tons. A Silo the same
height and 20 feet in diameter has a
capacity of approximately 200 tons,
In constructing a silo the wall should
be sufficiently strong to withstand the
pressure imposed upon it after being
flied so as to insure against side open
ings. This outward pressure is II
pounds per square foot for every foot
of depth and amounts to $50 pounds per
square foot at the bar e of 30.foot silo.
Corn is generally reputed to produce
sllage superior in quality to other
crops. Recent experimental work indi'

GROWING CROPS
TO FILL the SILO.
Article by A. B. Conner, AgrOnOmiSt
Texas Experiment
Station.
fFrom Farm & Ranchl

Someone has said that the silo is the
poor mans necessity and the rich mans
luxury, for by it both gain better and
more independent living. Sixty'four
per cent of the nutrients in the corn
plant is contained in the grain and cob,
and So per cent in the stalks and leaves.
The silo makes possible tae saving OF
this sc per cent, which would other.
wise be lost if only the ears were har'
vested. During the fermentation
process Silage undergoes a change
which softenS the fiber and makes
more digestible the nutrients con.
tanned, and hence a greater amount is
assimilated by the animal. Silage con.
tains Tactic acid which has beneficial
effect on the animal Ivy acting as an ap-
petizer and tonic.
The principle involved in making
silage is that of bringing about fermen'
tation without decomposition OF the
materials used. This requires the ex.
clusion of air and the presence OF GER
tain amount OF sugar necessary to
fermentation. This principle is applied
in the preservation OF many foods, such
as sauer kraut and canned fruits. The
acidity of silage combined with lack OF
air contact are the two elements OF
preservation. The sugar necessary for
acidity is generally present, but the
exclusion of the air is entirely In the
hands of the man preparing for and
putting UP silage.
The size of the Silo will depend upon
the number of animals to be fed and
the length of the feeding period. 1t IS
necessary to remove two inches OF sill
age each day after feeding has begun
TO avoid loss by spelling. One COW
will eat 80 to IS pounds or one cubic
foot daily. To find the number OF cubic
| feet contained in two inches of a given
silo, multiply the circumstances by one.

They found one ton of silage to equal
for beef production 4.42 bushels of corn,
.03 tons of slower and rs tons of hay.
Valuing corn at 50 cents per bushel,
stover at S. per ton and hay at $40 per

The Texas Experiment station found
silage much cheaper feed than cotton
seed hulls and it Yielded larger gains.
Silage fed steers showed considerably
better finish and brought 20 cents per

than hulls.fed steers. The total profit
on silage.fed steers was 5000 per head,
