hardy plant, the turnip. All through

from babyhood with jowl and turnip

The tendency OF those now building
silos is to increase the depth and de
crease the diameter over previous silo
dimensions. The deeper the silo the
greater is the pressure on the silage
This increased pressure excludes much
air and so insures better silage. As
the daily feeding Is done, a greater

Now is the time to think about what
you are going to feed your cows next
winter
When the cold winds are blowing,
the snow falling, the cows shiyering,
and the feed barn empty is poor
time to try to make preparations for
efficient feeding,
After careful investigation and
study of the requirements for success
full dairying, ! am led to believe that
fully as many cows fail to pay a profit
because of not being properly fed and
cared for as fail to pay because OF
their being poor individuals. As an
Illustration, take the results of the
first three months work of the Jeffer
son-Hamblen Contrasting Association
One man with S5 COWS made net
profit during the first month of $3.50
above cost OF feed. The third month
he made a net profit of S6s from the
same cows. This gain, while not yet
up to a good standard, shows what can
be accomplished by frst-class methods
OF feeding and management
The records OF successful dairymen
all show that the men who really
make dalrying pay are the ones who
think and who prepare for the proper
keeping Of cows. The silo is no longer
an experiment and is almost as essen.
tial for successful dairy farming as are
good cows. Dairy farmers who do not
have silos should make plans at once
to build this summer. and should plan
on putting out sufficient sllage crops
to provide plenty OF succulent feed for
next winter. Last year there we're
approximately 1000 silos built in Ten.

more built this year.

The silo to Build.

The type of silo to build is i'm
portant, but any silo which preserves
the silage is better than none. Two oil
the most important points to be con
sldered are cost and durability, For
the man who wants cheap, temper,
airy silo, there is nothing better nor
cheaper than the homemade Tennes
see wood-hoop silo. and for the man
who wants permanent form there is
nothing better than the solid-wall, con
crete silo. Either type will keep
silage perfectly II properly built and
flied.
The wood.hoop silo can be built for
an average cost of about 81 per ton
capacity, and the concrete type for an
average of about SO per ton capacity.
How Large Shall II Be-
II is important that the size OF the
silo be suited to the number of cows
or cattle to be fed. Many make the
mistake of building the silo too large
in diameter in proportion to the size
of the herd, while others build too
small and the supply of silage does not
last through the winter. II an average
feed of 40 lbs. silage is fed daily, COW
would require approximately tons for
six months feeding The following
figures show the relation of size OF
herd to diameter of silo for winter
feeding.
