BUILD THAT SILO AT ONCE.
1t will be Needed for tho Economical
Wintering Of Your Stock.

Clemson College, April 9.-Spe-
cial: In order to provide reasonably
cheap feed in sufficient quantities for
the increasing number Of live stock
in the State, the animal husbandmen
Of the extension service are pushing
q silo-building campaign among the
farmers, and have prepared bills Of
materials for a concrete silo and q
Wo0G hoop SiiC Oi about 100 tons
each. These and other helps IN the
building OF silos will be gladly fur
nishNd oh application.
According TO these specialists, pro-
fitable livestock feeding, due to un-
usual conditions, and particularly to
the high prices Of hays and concen-
trated feeds, has become largely a
matter of utilizing roughages to the
fullest extent. That the silo has be-
come an ACTUAL necessity in the most
economical production Of maximum
amounts of milk and beef is not only
borne out by the many experiments
conducted by the different expert
ment stations throughout the coun-
try, but the experience Of thousands
Of farmers everywhere who have al
ready changed from the old to the
new way Of producing these products.
Silage Is the cheapest and most
profitable form in which a succulent
feed for winter may be stored. The
cost Of practically all rations for
ruminants may be greatly cheapened
by the use Of silage.
Corn and sorghum are the best
crops for silage. 1t is important
that sufficient acreage be set aside
to fill the silo. Plant the silo crops
early in order that they may reach
full maturity before harvest time.
Since rain Is sometimes very scant
during the summer months, plant
ing silage crops late, and after small
grain, may cause your silo to be only
half full instead OF filled to its capac-
ity.
