Silo Conclusions


| have read everything that has come
my way about the silo From what
have read it is the easiest, quickest and
sureSt way to make a stake So have
staked two hundred OF my stake in a
silo | have filled three silos and per
sonally fed the Silage. have earned
the right to give my experience. It's
the truth although il does not altogether
agree with all that has been written
aioretime.
There is big money in the silo il all
conditions are favorable. If one gets a
good crop and the machinery works
wells in the filling and the stock is
bought low and sold high The success
OF the silo is dependent upon mahy sur
rounding conditions. Some OF these
conditions are under the control OF the
management and some are not. Who
can control the weather to insure us
good crops for the silo' Who has the
knack " making machinery run just
right an the timer Who can control the
markets, giving us the feeders and fat
cattle with good margin between!
Understand me; would not sell my
silo. 1t is all right and a good invest
ment. But there is such a contrast be
tween what | have read and what have
experienced that | desire to tell the good
readers of the Journal OF the other side
My experience accords with that Of
many others whose silos | have visited
but whose experiences have never been
chronicled for the agricultural journals.
II you want to know about a silo It is
better to go and see than to correspond
with the management about it.
To illustrate called, upon mer-
chant who has a ranch some miles from
his store. He has two dig silos. He
spoke in the highest praise of his sill
age and the manner in which his cattle
and horses were thriving upon it ! took
occasion to visit his ranch where |
found the poorest cattle and horses that
have ever seen in Oklahoma. There
was plenty Of silage in the hunks hut
the stock would not eat it | went to
| the sios. The stuff inside was neither
manure nor cattle feed The foreman
explained to me how il all happened
have never done so badly as that, a:
from my sliced kair | have made eithei
manure or good silage; once some Of
both in the same silo.
In my first silo had twenty-five pei

cent OF manure and the balance good
silage In my next silo every atom Of
il was good 1t was all first class and
couldn't have been better. In my third
silo a small amount was spoiled but it
was caused by air getting in through the
foundation brick wall Experience has
taught me how TO put up silage Now
| am ready to make some money.
One thing sure; placing feed In the
silo does not increase its feeding value.
II only keeps it. 1t makes II more pala
table and eliminates all OF the waste. Ny
experience Is that an acre OF kahr in
the silo is worth two acres in the shock.
| think that the silo is the best thing
that has come the farmers way IL he
has or can get the stock to eat the sill
age. But as yet the silo has not been
made fool-proof, "Bermuda" Mitchell,
