value OF corn, but II also increases
the value of all the other feeds which
are fed. This Is true not only Of
dairy cattle, but also of steers. or. in
fact. any class of livestock. There Is
no nome grown feed which becomes
more indispensable than silage when
once it's value becomes know. The
best recommend that silage has is the
fact that those who have only one silo
are constructing more.
We first saw the value of silage as
winter feed. 1t reduced the amount
OF la Dor IN hauling fodder during cold.
stormy days. and also pro- ided feed
that was palatable when corn fodder
and ltalks would not De rel;shed. Now.
those who have had experience find
that silgge provides the cheapest kind
of summer feed. During the time Of
short pasture 1t takes the place Of that
succulence. and in fact. some of our
feeders tell us that Il is easier to feed
high producing dairy cows in the barn
| than on pasture. There is rarely ever
a season we do not have come dry
weather at which time there Is
shortage in pasture and 1t very fire.
quently happens that there are times
in the spring when we can not depend
on our pasture crops. Here again tbs
silo comes in as an important factor
in increasing our feed supply.
When clover hay is worth s12 to s15
ton. silage easily has q food value
of IS per ton. As matter OF fact.
many of our experiment stations have
found that 1t is even worth more than
| this, but with feeds at the prices which
we must pay for them at present we
may assume that the silace would re-
turn US that much per ton. With a
crop of fifty bushels of corn per acre.
| or ten tons of silage per acre, we may
consider that we have $50 worth OF
| feed. If the corn is worth 80 cents
| per bushel or s25 per acre. We still have
| a net profit OF s25. In this calculation
we have not taken into consideration
| the husking of the corn which would
ordinarily amount TO about 81 per acre.
We may consider that this will offset
the value of the stalks when left in
| the field. 1t is true that the fodder
| which has been properly shocked has
feeding value much greater than the
stalks, and we also know that all OIL
| the corn can not be cut up for silage

How h Got Ahsad.

An interesting story was told at a
gathering of Aberdeen men a shor.
time ago. One of the men, head of an
important institution in the city, was
asked how he happened to occupy the
position he hoids-a very satisfactory
one. by the way why. it was this
way" he replied. when Blank Che
former manager) got sick. nobody else
about the Office seemed TO want to do
the extra work. But II had to be taken
care OF. and SO hoped in and looked
after il. After time. when it was dis
covered that Blank intended to resign,
there were a lot OF fellows around the
place who thought they were entitled to
the job, but they found was sitting on
ii. and they couldn't pry me loose. Tina,
is the way l happen to be holding
Blanks job now" The incident may
furnish a clew TO the reason why some
men get ahead and others do not.
The man who is chiefly interested in
doing only enough TO draw his salary
isn't going to jump in and do more than
mis- share when an emergency arises;
neither is he in line for promotion when
vacancy higher up occurs. This has
been demonstrated so many times that

death it is to be divided among the

| from 80 to 81 cents; in other words
there was . saving Of 8 cents per
pound. The herds in this case were
| Of sufficient size to give reliable data
and eliminate tho individuality of the
cows. The lot which was fed silage
gave seven pounds more milk in the
summer and 95.5 more in winter per
month more than did the herd which
| was fed dry feed. The butter fat
| was also increased by .46 pounds in
summer and 4.6 pounds in winter.
At the Ohio station, Stage produced

and butter fat at Is cents per pound.
| The grain ration produced milk at
s1.o5 per hundred and butter fat for

the beef animal. The best feeders that
We have are now feeding silage to
their fatten!ng cattle. Al the Indiana
station an experiment including ra-
ton of 16 pounds OF shelied corn,
pounds of cotton seed meal, and 30
pounds of silage was compared with
Il grain ration containing Is pounds
| of silage and pounds Of clover and
also with a third ration containing ten
pounds Of clover. but no silage. The
price per steer was respectively: $3.50
for the full feed of silage. $3.50 for the
half feed of silage and S1279 for the
lot receiving no silage And the re-
turns per bushels Of corn fed in the
same order were 81 cents, Sc cents
and 79 cents. In the feeding of silags
to beef animals, it must be remem-
bered that it is rather bulk- and hence
must be fed in largest amounts during
the early part OF the feeding period.
and the amount gradually decreased as
the cattle reach a market condition.
| Many feeders feed silaye to all
classes of livestock. If fed in proper
amounts there can be no danger when
the silage has been properly pre-,
served. Oftentimes corn is put into
the silo rather dry and In many cases
the good fodder is not properly dis
tributed nor properly tamped. 1t is
possible to make good silage even out
of the dryest fodder by adding water.
I Cases have come to our observation
J recently where even the fodder corn
which was left standing III the shock
during the winter was run thru the
silo cutter and with about three times
it's weight Of water added placed in
the silo. with very satisfactory results
1t is doubtful whether such a practice
would be profitable, but 1t indicates the
possibilities in producing good stlage
and 1t shows the feeding value OF our
corn crop when so handled.
