instruction in feeding silage TO milch
COWS is a new device given farmers by
the Department OF Agriculture. "Silage
should be fed directly after milking or
several hours before the department
advises. III fed Immediately before
milking the odor OF silage may pass
through the cows body into the milk.
Besides the milk may receive some taints
directly from the stable air. On the
other hand, if silage feeding is done sub
seouent to milking, the silage odors will
have been thrown off before the next
milking time.
calves may be fed silage as soon as
they are old enough to eat it. It Is
more important that silage fed to calves
should be free from mould or decay than
the older stock. They may be given all
the silage they viii eat up clean at all
times. Yearling calves will consume
about half as much as mature stock
If supplemented with hay, little grain
will be required to keep the calves
in a healthy, thriving condition.
