The enslllng or green feed by
placing it in air tight reservoirs or
tanks has been pIacticed in the past
mainly to furnish green feed during
the winter months when no other sue
culence is available. This practice is
very desirable, and in fact necessary
if the maximum of feeding value is
to be obtained from the crop, and it
the COWS are to give the highest pro-
duction during the time when the
dairy products bring the greatest re-
turns. However, many of the sue
cessful dairymen are now depending
upon the silo to furnish the green
feed all the year around, and the
time is OF far distant when all dairy
men will be doing the same.
There are many advantages to this
system of storing and feeding a
crop. In the first place, while we
consider a variety of feeds necessary
for the highest production, the COW
will not do as we'll if she is fed on
one green feed for a week or two and
then changed abruptly to another
green feed for the next two weeks.
If the two feeds were mixed for the
daily ration the results would be
good, and that is possible by the use
of the silo.
Secondly, the matter of labor is
very important. Where the soiling
system is used, it is necessary to take
team and man from the regular
work which they may be doing, and,
regardless of the weather or the con-
dition of the land, make trip to the
field three or four times per week to
get the green feed for the cows;
whereas, if the silo is used, the haul
ing is done at the time of filling the
silo when there is force for the pur-
pose, and when it is done with the
least waste of time. The difference
of labor in these two methods is con-
siderable, to say nothing of the con-
venience of the silo method and the
effect upon the land when the green
feed is hauled through wet field as
in the soiling method.
Thirdly, it has been estimated that
where fields are sown to pasture and
the COWS allowed to Craze upon them,
only about one third to one fourth of
the feeding value in the pasture is
obtained by the COW; the remainder
being either tramped out or checked
out by weeds. Considering further
the amount of feeding value that can
be grown on an acre from cult
waited crop as compared with pasture
Drop. it does not take much arguing
to prove that pasturing does not pay
except in case of rough or logged off
land which cannot be plowed.
Corn is the principal crop used in
the silo. 1t was estimated few
years ago that 95 per cent of all the
silage used is corn silage, but within
recent years favorable results have
been obtained by the use Of clover,
oats, and vetch, and barley and peas

SiIage for the Dairy Cow

for silage, and every indication points
to more extensive use of these crops
for that purpose, especially in the
Pacific Northwest.
To make good feed the silage must
be we'll preserved. The formation OF
acids from the decomposition Of sugar
and starch in the feed, and the
absence of air, prevent the formation
of moulds and other undesirable
fermen tation. No matter what crop
is used, it should be sufficiently
mature to have developed the maxium
of feeding value. Corn should be in
the denting state, oats and barley in
the dough. Cut clover and vetch,
and other legumes for silage when
the crop is fully blossomed out. On
account of the relatively large amount
of protein in the legumes they should
be mixed with some of the cereals for
silage. The formation of acids, the
principal preventative, is assured
when this course is pursued.
About 95 per cent of all the silage
fed is used for dairy COWS. 1t may.
however, be fed to advantage to grow
ing heifers and steers; and also to
breeding cattle. In fact, any OF the
ruminants can use silage to advan-
tage. For work horses it is not a
good feed, though it may be fed in
small quantities to brood mares or to
idle horses. 1t cannot be used for
hog feeding since their digestive
organs demand a more concentrated
feed.
In feeding silage to dairy COWS,
the usual plan is to feed as many
pounds per day as the COW produces
pounds of milk. But when the yield
of milk falls very low it will be nee
essary to feed more than that. From
twenty to forty five pounds per day
are the limits, and this should be fed
before rather than after the hay. A
very important point in the feeding
OF ensilage is to clean out the managers
daily, so as to allow no silage to de-
cay with the chance of having the
COW eat some of it at a subsequent
feeding. Mouldy silage is injurious
to COWS, and all silage should be care
fully examined for mould before feed
ing.
When silage made from different
crops is used, it demands variation
in the rest of the ration. If corn
silage with alfalfa or clover hay is
used, a good grain ration would be
equal parts of bran and oats; and ii
clover silage with clover hay is used.
the grain ration should be changed
to two parts barley or corn, one part
bran and one part oats. The i'm
portant point is to furnish all the
nutrients required for the COW, and
also to furnish them in the right
proportions.
So far as the effect of siiage upon
the flavor of the milk is concerned,
there seems to be very little if any
controversy. Some silage is now

Let Us Have The Truth

tFrom The Daily Intelligencer of
Friday Morning)
Chas. b. Robb, one of the best
known fire insurance special agents
in the state, was here yesterday and
made a very careful examination OF
local conditions with reference to pol
icies held by his company. Mr.. Robb
said that the water pressure of An
derson was sufficient. when the aux
iliary pumps were turned on, and
what the city needs is a modern. fire
alarm system. He was pleased il to
know that the Public Utilities COM
pany had offered last summer 20 put
in six inch supplementary water
mains whenever their contract should
be renewed, and lie declared that
when this is done the city will be well
fixed for fires. Mr.. Robb examined
the records of the pressure which is
kept by the chronological machines
and he Is satisfied that in only one
case recently has there been insult
ficient pressure, and that was the
fault OF the telephone being out of
fix and the pumping station not get
ting the alarm promptly. =

The history of woman's work in Co

is a community conscience. Why did
woman seek any work other than
that o. her home? Helen Kel.sr says:
We women have often been told
that the home contains all the inter-
ests and duties In which we are con-
cerned; our province is limited by the
walls Of house, AMI to emerge from
this honorable circumscription, to
share in any broad enterprise, would
only be nnladylike and unwomanly.
Every morning they leave their
homes to tend machines, to; scrub Of

them to leave their proper sphere; It
forces them to this unwomanly de-
sertion of the hearth In order, that
