grown silage is the cheapest source of
succulence for the winter feeding per-
iod. Silage is also very valuable
during the hot dry summer months TO
supplement failing pastures and the
time will come when farmers and es-
pecially dairymen who have been
feeding silage during the winter
months for many years, will build adj
d ,tional silos of small diameter for
use during the summer season. As
land values increase, the acreage of
tillable land, used for pasture pur-
poses will steadily diminish, as a pas
ture crop cannot return profit on
high priced land during the ordinary
season.
While silage is commonly consider
ed as feed especially suited to dairy
cows, its use is by no means confined
to such narrow limits. Beef cattle
feeders are also enthusiastic in its
support and II is being widely used
for fedeing sheep and lambs with ex-
cellent results. Horses, too, relish
silage and from feeding trials con-
Quoted so far. we have every reason
to believe that good silage can be fed
with safety and give satisfactory re-
suits. Very watery silage, such as
last years crop from early frosted
corn, should not be fed heavily to
horses, as securing will result and
frozen silage should not be fed to any
kind of stock for the same reason.
Where corn is not available il may
be made from many other crops, such
as oats and peas or other mixtures of
small grains with legumes. Refuse
from pea and corn canning establish
ments and pulp from sugar factories,
Where corn is not available silage may
IS also made into silage.
Every failure of the Germ crop in
Michigan, a condition prevailed al
together too often during the past few
years is but another argument in ia
vor of the silo, for by its use the far
mer can save all he produced in the
best possible form for feeding, while
without the silo it becomes almost a
total loss. We are all hoping for a
bumper crop throughout the state this
year, so that every silo may be filled
with an abundance of corn to spare
for grain. The farmers Of Michigan
are more than anxious tc do their part
toward winning the war and nothing
will do more to save waste and in
crease production on the farm than
the silo. "a silo for every farm.

EVERY FARM SHOULD
HAVE A GOOD SILO

n. w. Norton, jr., livestock spec
iahst at the experiment station Of
the Michigan Agricultural college at
East Lansing, in the following article
lays particular stress upon the inn
portance OF every farm being equipped
with silo.
"A silc on every rarm" should be
the slogan throughout Michigan.
There VIII be exceptions of course in
some cases, but they should be few and
Tar between. Under stress of war
and with world wide food shortage
imminent, the necessity for conserva-
ton OF every possible resource has
never been greater than at present,
and the silo can easily become one of
the greatest factors for saving waste
and increasing production on the av-
erage farm.
Under the old mtehod of handling
the corn crop where the stalks are
cured and fed dry, large proportion,
20 per cent is refused by the animal
and left in the manager as waste except
Tor its fertilizing value. The same
crop, converted into silage, would be
eaten with relish and every bit of the
available MARTIAL used to good advan-
tage by the ANIMAL. The complete
ripening of the stalks when left in
the field and cured to be fed dry re-
suits in a marked increase in the
crude fibre or woody material of the
stalk and hence lowers the percentage
OF digestible nutriments as shown by
analyses of corn stalks and silage
compared on dry matter basis.
The experience Of Michigan farm
ers during the past year, when frost
caught practically the entire corn
crop of the state, should be sufficient
evidence of the value of the silo to
convince the most skeptical. The
farmer who had silo last fall was
able to preserve every bit of his corn
crop in form where it could be used
to best advantage. To be sure the
silage was much below standard, but
it was far superior to the bundles of
dry stalks, practically stripped of the
leaves, which were fed on farms where
the silo was not in USE
Silage furnishes the suculent fac
tor which is so desirable in the winter
ration of farm animals, especially
dairy cows and wherever corn can be

cago papers the critics commended her
work most highly.
During the Chicago opera season
Miss Maxwell sang In "Dinorah" sew
eral times and also in "Manon," "The
Jewels of the Madonna" 'Lakme,"
Francesca di Rimini" and Louise"
each time delighting the audience with
the unusual beauty and range of her
lyric soprano voice.
Nine. Galli-Curci is most enthusiasts
tic in her praise of "the (Americaine
Mees) Maxwelrs superb voice"
At the close of the Chicago season,
no one was surprised to find Miss Max
well among those chosen for the East
ern tour of the Chicago Grand Opera
company. The recognition given her
in the East was no less than she re-
ceived in her home city. The New York
Morning Telegraph used a large pic
ture of her with an interesting feature
story the morning after her first ap-
pearance and the Evening Mail, in a
Saturday edition. published her photo
graph in group with Geraldine Far
rar; Ricardo Stracciari and Gordon
Key.
Miss Maxwell is pleasing, whole
hearted American girl. All her spare
minutes she spends in knitting and at
present she says one OF her great am
billions is to go to France and sing for
the wounded soldiers.
