SiLO Is VALUABLE ADJUNCT
Poor Mans Necessity and Rich Mans
Luxury, Says Connecticut Ex-
pertinent Statisn Bulletin.

A bulletin of the Connecticut expert
ment station says that the silo is the
poor mans necessity and the rich
mans luxury, for by it both gain bet
ter and more independent living" 1t
is a well-known fact that much more
of the nutrients in the corn plant and
other forage crops can be saved in
the silo than by any other method. Be-
sides the advantage of silage in the
economy of preserving so large a per
centage of the feeding quality of for
age crops. it furnishes a succulent
feed in the winter when it is needed
to stimulate the assimilation of food
in an animal, to keep the appetite &C
tive and the digestive organs healthy.
In a summary of its conclusions
the bulletin says that any farm prod,
uct can be sliced providing there is
sufficient sugar in the mixture to be
fermented into acid to preserve it
The following mixtures silo successful
ly and make very desirable and
nearly balanced ration: Alfalfa and
rye, clover and timothy or wheat or
oats, and oats and peas, and corn and
cowpeas and soybeans. Nothing excels
the feeding of silage, especially
legume silage, during the dry sum-
mer months for keeping up the flow

is provided and the stable may be
greater warmth in the winter. The
stable should be tightly ceiled over
head, and to avoid dust in the stable
the fodder may be thrown down in
the space between granary and box
stalls. The silo may be placed on
either end. Windows enough to flood
the stable with light should be pro-
vided and these should be about five
feet from the floor, of single sash
hinged at the bottom to swing in
ward few inches for ventilation, the
side opening thus made being closed
by V-shaped hopper side"
The following standard dimensions
are given to aid in planning a stable
interior: Stable should be from eight
to nine feet high, passageway be-
tween cutters from eight to nine feet
in width, cutters about sixteen inches
wide and eight inches deep in front,
six inches deep on side toward drive
way, cow platforms from four to five
feet in depth, according to size of

hind feet close to gutter, lateral
space, for each COW from three to
four feet, hunks Is inches wide at top,
and feed alleys about five feet in
width. Box stalls for COWS should be
about Sx10 feet, and about four square
feet CT window sash should be provid-
ed for each 1000 pounds live weight
of stock to be sheltered. The King
system Of ventilation is the best for
a stable, and when the latter is we'll
built, is easily installed. Floors should
be of concrete, with standing plat
forms of wood, If desired. Walls
may be built of any material desired,
SO that they are tight. Double walls
with air space between are not need
ed, unless In the extreme northern
part of this country.

DAIRY
FACTS
THREE GOOD FEEDING RULES
Pennsylvania Station Says Make
Amount of Grain Given Cow Agree
With Her Milk Yield.

1t is not practical to spend the time
figure out an extra ration for each in
dividual COW. 1t is practicable, how
ever to make mixture of grains
and other concentrates and to feed
each COW from this grain mixture in
proportion to her daily milk yield, and
will eat up clean, and be reasonably
sure that she has had all the food she
needs to produce milk to the limit Of
her ability under ordinary conditions.
The following rules of feeding are sug-
gested by the pennsylvania station:
1. Feed grain in proportion to milk
yield, i. e., give her, for example, one
pound of grain mixture per day for
each three or four pounds of milk pro-
duced in one day.
g. Feed all the roughage, which the
COW will eat up clean, up to the point
where she gains too much weight.
8. Whenever she becomes too fat, re-
duce the amount Of roughage, leaving
the amount Of grain to be determined
by the milk yield.
When a COW leaves uneaten either
grain or roughage, which is free from
mold, dirt or foreign material, it should
be removed Immediately, the manger
swept clean and much smaller
amount given at each succeeding feed
ing until her appetite returns, as evil
denced by the cleaning up Of her
manger; the amounts should be gradu-
ally increased until she is on full feed

when pasteurized in the morning and
kept in the refrigerator, are ready to
warm up and use at the proper time
