BETTER FARMING HINTS
FEEDING Value Of siIage

Every man who has ten or more
cows should have a silo Silage is
the cheapest winter feed for stock
and it value is becoming more and
more apparent as the prices Of feeds
go up.
Some men have thought $3.50 corn
too high in price to put into the
silo, but when we compare the feed
ing value of silage with the feeding
value of some of the feeds upon
the market we find that $3.50 corn
turned into silage makes very
cheap feed
The Texas Experiment Station
made test on the feeding value of
silage as compared with the feeding
value of cotton seed hulls. The re-
suits of this experiment showed that
one and two-thirds tons of silage
equalled one ton of hulls. Figuring
from this basis, if bulls are selling
for S21 per ton, silage has value of
$14 per ton Land that will produce
thirty bushels of corn will produce
at least seven tons of silage. Seven
tOnS Oh SlldSc dt Plf per ION eQudl
gross return of $9S per acre. From
this we see that $150 corn put into
the silo and fed would give $53
more per acre than if the corn were
gathered and sold on the market
In fact, the Kansas Experiment Sta
ton has shown that well matured
sorghum made. into silage has prac-
tically the same feeding value as
corn silage and most Arkansas lands
will produce more sorghum silage
per acre than corn silage.
Build a silo and plant sufficient
acreage of silage crops this spring
to carry your stock through the
winter, is the advice of J. H. Nc
Leod, with the Extension Division
of the University of Arkansas. A
COW will eat from Is to SO pounds
of silage per day, according to size.
Most Arkansas up land in good sea-
son will produce at least Z tons
of silage per acre, some bottom lands
will produce as much as Is tons of
silage per acre in good season Write
