For fattenillg purposes a good days
ration for Il 1000 pound steer would
consist of from fifteen to twenty
pounds of silage, five or six pounds of
alfalfa or clover hay. fifteen to eight
cen pounds of broken ear corn and two

Not only is silage useful to the beef
man for %fattening purposes, but it is
useful for stocking cattle over the win
