silage for feeding horses can be best
answered by reviewing some of the
experiments and tests conducted along
this line.
A test conducted by the Pennsylva-
MIA Experiment Station resulted as
follows: "The horses fed silage as a
portion of their ration consumed less
grain, made their gain of a lesser cost
per pound, were sleeker and better fin
ished than those fed on rations not
containing silage."
In this test it was noted that silage
could be fed in amounts varying from
5 to 20 pounds per day. They recon-
mended silage free from mold mpd
made from corn fairly we'll mat Ill
They also advised against feeding
horses large quantities of silage, es-
pecially after coming in from heavy
work when they are in a heated con-
dition.
The Michigan Experiment Station
has been feeding horses for many
especially for horses not at heavy
work. In test made some years ago,
with the II work horses, one horsSof
each team was fed hay and grain,
while the other received small
amounts of hay and grain with about
Is pounds of corn silage. These teams
were doing moderate work. The ex-
pertinent lasted for II weeks and the
following results were noted:
The silage fed horses showed an av-
erage gain of 5 pounds per head. Be-
sides the increase in body weight, the
drivers noted that the silage fed
horses worked fully as well and did
not appear to be any softer than those
not receiving silage. The silage fed
horses showed a better finish and
sleeker coat.
Among the many thousands of hlO
owners in the United States, it is safe
to say that a great majority are using
silage as part ration for their
horses. Many farmers in the east who
have had silos for % or 30 years re-
port most favorably on the use of this
great feed, especially do they recon-
mend silage for growing colts and
mares with colts and for horses during
the winter months when they work
short hours.
If we would just keep in mind that
silage in the winter time answers the
purpose that grass does in the sum-
mer time, we will always know how to
feed it and how to appreciate it.

We are often asked whether silage
is as good for fattening stock and
feeding to horses as it is for feeding
mich cows. 1t is quite as good as we
think we can best answer the question
so far as it relates to the feeding of
beef animals by referring to the re-
suits of steer feeding test conducted
by the Indiana Agricultural Expert
ment Station.
The following conclusions are taken
from Bulletin No. 116:
First, the addition of corn silage
once daily to a ration of shelled corn,
cottonseed meal and clover hay re-
duced the cost $1.82 for each hundred
pounds Of gain and increased the total
profit $685. per steer.
Second, the addition of corn silage
twice daily to a ration of shelled corn,
cottonseed meal and clover hay re-
duced the cost $3.17 for each hundred
pounds of gain and increased the total
profits $11.19 per steer.
Third, the substitution Of corn 81
lage for clover hay in ration of
shelled corn, cottonseed meal and clo-
yer hay reduced the cost $4.35 for each

ALFALFA EXCELLENT.
As ROughage for Fattening Sheep
1t Has No Equal.

K. j. Ringer, of Petoskey, has much
faith in alfalfa as fattening food
for sheep. He says:
''The use of alfalfa cannot be too,
strongly urged with sheep, either the
breeding or fattening stock. As the
method of farming has become more
intensified and the open range grows
less each year, an acre of alfalfa must
be made to take the place of many
acres of range pasture.
Sheep, being ruminants are able to
handle much more bulky feed than
horses. The breeding flock of sheep
can be carried through the winter sea-
son very successfully with but little
grain in addition to alfalfa hay. Or
dinarily the first cutting of alfalfa is
not as good for sheep as the second
and third cuttings, as it is usually
coarse and stemmy and sheep do not
eat these stems readily.
1t is about as safe to pasture old
sheep on alfalfa as it is cattle. They
thrive on it and make excellent gains.
but sheep bloat easily and there is
likely to be little loss from this
source. Lambs can be pastured on
alfalfa with but little danger of
bloat, and the way they grow on as.
falfa is delight to the shepherd.
They should never be put on the
pasture when they are empty and
hungry, and it is always we'll to allow
them access to some dry feed and
keep them off the alfalfa until the
dew is off; also on damp DAYS. A
mixture of alfalfa and orchard grass
is safer pasture than alfalfa alone.
A flock of ewes and lambs can be
grazed for a short time each day on
alfalfa with but little danger of any
loss. If a lamb-creep can be ar
ranged from the sheep corral to an
alfalfa pasture, the lambs will soon
learn what it is intended for and will
do far better on it than if confined to
dry yard. Newly seeded alfalfa
can be pastured with less danger of
bloat than an old field, and the pack
ing of the ground by the sheep pass
ing over it is frequently a great ben
eft to the alfalfa.
AS roughage for fattening sheen
alfalfa hay has no equal, and cases
rare. 1t can be fed either whole or
of bloat from the hay are exceedingly
cut, and fed with grain MANY prefer
this method of feeding, claiming that
there is less waste by it. In feeding
experiments nothing has been found
for roughage that equals alfalfa for
fattening sheep. In an experiment at
the Kansas station, alfalfa and prairie
hay were compared as roughages. In
the test the grain ration was corn and
cottonseed meal for both lots. Those
receiving alfalfa hay made an average
daily gain of 1886 pounds per head.
while the lot on prairie hay made only
;1SS pounds per head daily, the alfalfa
lot making almost twice as great
gains. The alfalfa seemed to give the
lambs better appetite and thew were
always ready for their grain, and as
soon as their grain was cleaned up
they were ready for the alfalfa"

Army Worm On Ramp

Grand Rapids-Many sections in

These worms are emerging from
eggs laid by moths that apparently
swarmed up from the south.

tical way to keep
them out is to pillow burrows in front
of them, throwing the furrow in the
direction toward which they are
travelling. The worms will fall into
the furrow and when this is full they
may be killed either by dragging a
log back and forth in the furrow or
by destroying the worms in holes
previously dug at intervals of 20 feet
in the bottom of the furrow. Kerosene
poured on them in the holes will de-
stroy them.
