from the statistics given that Rogue
River valley Is far from producing
what it should when we realize there
are 100000 acres that need water.
Ashland should see that the upper end
of Rogue River valley is not left out
of this government investigation.

enough to pay for the investment
Perhaps the most common objection
raised is that there is considerable
extra and heavy labor connected with
silo filling, and farm help too scarce.
Coming to the matter of storage
it would be best to arrange stover
and silage on the basis of dry mat
ter content; or form from which
the comparison could be accurate.
Fodder corn will average SIS to go
per cent dry matter when field cured
under ordinary farm conditions-with
dry matter in silage forming 20 per
cent. With these estimates, in each
ton of fodder there would be 1900
pounds of dry matter, requiring as
on the basis of hay 400 cubic feet of
storage room, allowing 3 pounds of
dry matter content to the cubic foot.
There would be 400 pounds of dry
matter in the ton of silage and is
stored in a space of SO cubic feet in
the silo, or 8 pounds of dry matter
per cubic fooot. Naturally the COM
parison of space is of little or no
value to the man storing his fodder
corn in the lot, but would be con-
sideration in storing in the barn and
also hold true with hay and shredded
corn excepting of course that there
would be even less feed per unit.
Silage when fed is thrown down the
chute and carried to the cows, usual
ly bushel basket is handy for this
work. A basket full weighing about
40 pounds or more and is feed plenty
for two and perhaps three cows at
one feeding. This naturally depend
ing on amounts eaten by different
cows. Ordinarily mature cow will
eat about 40 pounds of silage day,
some of the larger animals will use
upwards of SO pounds, and smaller
ones be satisfied with 80 pounds.
The feeding in this way is done near
ly entirely under shelter unless some
of the feed is carried to the lot. With
the silo chute at one end of the feed
ing alley the feed need not be car
ried very far. Nor is it necessary
to feed from under the snow during
the winter. Here also comes the
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1915-02-10

about the animals getting this way.
Regarding this it may also be said
that the fermentation is not alcoholic
but Of an acid nature, and good sill
ages comes from the silo with dis
tinctive odor and to the taste and
smell shows this slightly acid quality.
AS to this odor it is common and
mistaken belief that it will cause the
faint of the milk of cows eating silage.
Milk will take up this odor as any 9TH
er if the barn is filled with it during
milking and handling the milk in the
barn. But is not had if the silage is
put in the managers about an hour
before milking time or feedinng the
silage after the cows have been MIXED.
To settle ones mind as TO the. ability
of silage to shorten the life of cow
if continually fed on it or in any way
to lessen her period of usefulness there
would be no better way than by ask
ing the two or three men of our neigh
borhood what their experience has
been along this line.-Sleep Eye Her

Dunn Amendment Blow to State As
ISOLATION Which Favored
S1.50 License

The first real debate in the Senate
chamber during the present session
came Thursday when the Palmer au-
tomobile bill was up for discussion by
the members sitting as committee
Of the whole.
The speakers were divided into two
classes, those who favored the present
charge of $3.50 for an automobile
license and those who believed that
the amount should be increased to
approximately SIS. The advocates Of
the higher charge won.
Approved Palmer Bill
Senator Frank L. Palmer of Min
neapolis, the author of the bill, which
was drawn with the approval and as
sistance of the State Automobile as

amount charged is sufficient, while
Senator R. C. Dunn of Princeton, was
of the opinion that the fee is not large

amendment raising the license rate
for three years to SIS. He added a
clause whereby a person obtaining a
license at the expiration of one year,
would only have to pay three and a
half dollars, and any one taking out
license during the last year, would
be charged only So. This amendment
was carried.
Into Road Fund
Senator Henry N. Benson's amend
ment, diverting the surplus fund de-
rived from the sale of licenses from
the current funds to the roads and
bridges fund, also was adopted.
Dealers who formerly operated sew
eral cars for. demonstration purposes,
will have to pay $40 for their licenses
instead of $40 if another amendment
by Senator Dunn finally is carried.

ton Of fodder corn in feeding value
there would be loss in silage of
or pounds of proteids and ID pounds
of carbohydrates, as compared with
the above loss Of 16 pounds of pro.
ted and 22O pounds of carbohydrates
A saving in feeding nutrients to the
extent Of 9 pounds of proteids and zoe
pounds of fat formers with each three
tons of silage. In an ordinary 100 ton
silo this would amount to SO times
this amount and which would amount
to great deal in the way of money
saved. With the 40 per cent Of the
feeding value of corn in the stalks
ard this feed is made use of on the
farm as it should be the question
must be as to how to make the most
profitable use of it.
Corn fed from the silo is uniform
feed going the same through the en-
tire depth of the silo. The feed is sue
culent and in this juicy condition is
more palatable. Not alone can more
corn roughage be consumed in this
way, but the other feeds are in turn
eaten more readily and the animals
make the very best use of all of them.
Its succulence also toning up the di-
gestive tract and the entire body as
well.
At this point naturally arises the
common objection that cows fed sill
age become too laxative. This might
be the case with an inexperienced
feeder giving the cows too large
amounts before they become accus-
toned to it or if corn had been put
into the silo too green. 1t corn is
very green and immature it contains
more water than dry matter ant
when put in the silo at this stage the
fermentation is of a more acid ma
ture than normally. Fed to cattle
this sort Of silage will physic the ami
mails. It might be stated in connec
ton that the proper time to cut corr
for the silo is when the kerpels ar
denting or when the lower leaves be
gin to get yellow. Of those feeding
silage this winter, and with the corr
cut in different degrees of ripeness
none have so far raised complain

economy of the silage as a feed for

economy of the silage as a feed fol-
when it is put in the managers but
very little is left. In fact there is
no other way of getting as much
feed from the stalks as when put in
the silo, not only keeping more of
the original feed with the stalks but
ir having more of it eaten when fed.
And when it is considered that 40
per cent of the feeding value of the
corn is in the stalks the waste ele-
ment is no small matter. Although the
part of the fodder corn not eaten is
largely stalks these contain goodly
per cent of the dry matter and feed
elements fodder corn is credited with.
Regarding the saving of more Of
the feeding elements when corn is
sliced then field cured it is considered
that this amounts to fair interest
on the investment of the silo. Fodder
corn curing in. the field is known to
lose in weight, but this loss is thought
to be only water. Nevertheless, some
dry matter goes with the water. In
mentioning dry matter in feeds the
term includes the digestible and I'M
digestable parts. Digested parts are
those used to build up and fatten the
animal, while the fiber and the ma
terlal of no purpose to the animal
are classed as undigestible. From a
series of analyses of various expert
ment stations fodder corn field cured
losses at least 80 per cent of it's dry
matter content and five per cent in
silage, yet this loss may be greater
as it varies and depends upon the
amount of air coming in contact with
the corn while fermenting or becom-
inng silage.
The losses in either are of the Gil
gestable portion of the feed-the pro-
teids losing some, but 2-3 of the loss
is carbohydrates, or fat formers. Elk.
pressing this loss in pounds, in each
ton of fodder corn it would be neal
220 pounds or carbohydrates and IL
pounds of proteids, while per ton OF
silage the loss would amount to about
212 pounds of proteids and pounds
of carbohydrates. Assuming that
three tons of silage are equal to one

that of economy of space in sairage,
economy of time in feeding and the
saving of a larger percentage of the
feeding elements as compared with
field curing. Against these stands
the objections of great many that
silage fed cows break down-their
digestive system wearing out early
in life. That the silage fermentation
is alcoholic and that it cannot be
fed to cattle without physicing the
animals to excess; and also it will
faint the milk. Furthermore that the
silage saves but little in actual feed
ing dollars and cents-at least not
