a silo-but you can't afford to be with
out one.
1t is not necessary to construct an
expensive one to start with-a cheaper
kind will do. There is no best silo,
generally speaking. The hest silo for
you Is the one which can be con-
structed on your farm at the lowest
cost and pay you the greatest profit.
A pit silo or a bank silo may be the
best for you. They are adapted to
many sections. Regions which are
passing through the pioneer stage Of
their development. where the cost of
material. labor and transportation is
high, need not be without silo. Kan
sas, Nebraska and Colorado farmers
have constructed more than three
thousand pit silos in the past two
years. In Montana, the Dakotas and
other northern states, where the win
ters are severe, the pit silo is In gen.
eral use. They cannot blow down nor
freeze up, and they are cheaply con-
structed.
Prove Value Of SiIo.
A good proof of the value of the silo
is a record of some work done in a
cow-testing association at Albert Lea.
Minn.. under the direction OF the Unit
ed States department Of agriculture.
In this association IL herds, or PIG
cows were fed siage and 16 herds, or
239 cows were not fed silage. 1t seems
to me that when man will examine
these data carefully he cannot but feel
that he is the loser II he does not have
q silo.
The results show that 1t cost SS62
more per COW to feed the silage herd
than 1t did to feed the herd which had
no silage, but the silage-fed cows pro-
duced SO pounds more butterfat per
cow. giving net profit of S10.04 more

found corn ensIlage to be worth from
$3.50 to $3.50 per ton when fed to
fattening steers and sheep. This is
in the light of the fact that corn en-
silage will not cost the farmer more
than 81 ton and should be convincing
argument.
Pennsylvania station found good re-
suits in feeding steers silage and real
lied value of $500 ton when used
In this way. They also found silage
superior to hay and much more eco
nomic In the raising of young stock.
Ontario experiment station found
they could save S63 on every $500 in
vested In feed If they used corn ensi-
lage in preference to hay in feeding
cattle.
Kansas experiment station not only
produced beef cheaper with ensilage
in the ration but also the silage-fed
steers sold at a higher price on the
market than did the dry-foddcr steers.
They found corn ensilage when put in
the silo would keep for five and six
years and retain its feeding value.

SEEK PRESERVATION OF ELK
Nation Is Waking to the Danger Of the
Extinction Of Animal in This
Country.

There are. according to estimates
made by the National Sportsmen
about 100000 elk in this country, of
which 200 are in captivity in 125 DIFF
ferent places. The largest herd, NUM-
bering, according to the government
census, between $4,000 and 5000. is
In the Yellowstone region. In the
summer these elk range in the vicinity
of the continental divide In the park
Since the settlement Of the valleys the
elk which are forced to descend from
the mountains in the winter In order
to obtain food have starved Ia large
numbers. Since 1909, winter feeding
has been provided by the state of
Wyoming and the federal government
and recently congress appropriated
$50, 900 for the purchase of 1000 acres
near Jackson. Wyo., where sufficient
hay can be raised each year to feed
the herds during the winter. During
late years the government has expert
mented with small herds Numbering
about 100, which have been transferred
To l3 different states for tie purpose
of restocking reservations In this
way II is hoped that wild elk can be
retained In this country permanently.
The Adirondack herd was rapidly ap-
preaching extinction when the govern
ment and the state of New York took
a hand. 1t is believed that after the
fate of the buffalo many states will at

The cows fed the grain ration pro-

The average net profit per COW per

Fodder or Slage.
At the Nebraska experiment station
two groups of calves nine months old
were fed from March 25 to August Is.
In one lot each animal received an
average daily ration Of: Corn rs

The animals in the other lot received
an average daily ration of. Corn, 6.1
pounds: alfalfa. "a pounds, and corn
silage, Is pounds.
The larger amount of corn was fed
to the slower lot to Offset the grain
contained In the silnge. The two rations
therefore. were practically Identical.
except that to one lot of animals the
cornstalks were fed rs shredded sto-
yer, while to the other they we're fed
rs silage.
The silage-fed calves made an aver.
age daily gain Of l.9 pounds each,
which was about one-third of a pound
more than the average daily gain In
the stover-fed lot. The slage ration
was l. per cent more efficient than the
stoyer ration. On that basis the same
area of corn, of the same kind, when
put in the silo would make 1a per
cent more beef than when cut for fed
der and fed dry.
There was a time when silace was
considered entirely as dairyman's
iced. 1t Is lust as good for die pro-
duetion OF beef. One experiment may
be quoted, though hundreds have peen
made with practically the same result,
AT the Indiana experiment station four
lots OF steers were fed as follows:

quarters of billion dollars, the feed
value of the rest of the crop is nearly
a billion dollars. AT least 80 per cent
of the feed value Of the stalk Is lost
under the present system of farm man
agement-a waste with this crop alone
of billion dollars annually. No
other business but farming could stand
such an enormous loss.
Contrast this waste by the corn
growers with the practices of large
business organizations. For years the
great packing bouses have sold dressed
meat for less than they have paid for
the live weight OF the animals. Yet
every year these packing houses re-
turn millions of dollars profit be-
cause they utilize to the fullest extent
the value of their by-products. At the
same time the corn growers are vast
ing most Of 40 per cent of the feed
value of over one hundred million
acres Of corn.
Great Value OF Silo.
The results of hundreds Of feeding
experiments conducted In the past ten
years with silage as part of the
ration gives proof Of the great value
Of the silo to the farmer. There will
