Filling the Silo
BY X. w. CLARK

The corn, sorghum and other crop
similar to these should be allowed to
ripen before being cut for the silo.
but should be cut before any of the
leaves dry and fall off. In other
words, let it ripen to a point that
will give the highest termination test
of the seed without loss of leaves.
The largest percent of nutrients is
formed during the last two weeks
preceding this stage. When the crop
is cut too early it gives a low ton
mage of dry matter and low per-
centage of digestible nutrients. In
case of frost the sooner the crop is
cut the better.
The cutter knives should be well
sharpened and set so as to make a
clean complete cut. This saves power
and gives a better silage. When the
crop is partially shredded it does not
pack well. air cannot all be expelled
and the silage is likely to be of an
inferior quality.
The filling should not be too rapid
as there is possibility that the sill
age will not be well packed. At or
binary rate of filling two good men
should be placed in the silo to dis
tribute, mix and tramp the corn as it
good silage every phase of his work
must be carefully done. Good men
only should be assigned to this part
of the operation. Men who will take
advantage of their boss should not
be put in the silo.
If the corn has been frosted or is
a little dry when it is put into the
silo, water should be added. The best
way this can be done is to connect a
barrel with the blower and allow a
small stream of water to enter and
the water will be blown up with the
corn ino the silo. Corn, little dry.
does not pack we'll or keep well.
Enough water shoud be added to
cause the corn to pack well.
In sealing the silo, all that is nee
essary is to wet the corn thoroly and
tramp it we'll. If this is done there
will be very small amount of spoil
ed silage.

LARGER PROFIT WITH sILAGE

feeding steers finds that full ra-
tion of silage (52 pounds) and no
corn gave larger profits than a full
ration of corn and half ration of
silage OF pounds). linseed meal and
alfalfa hay being fed to both lots of
steers, says r. w. Clark,
The lot that received a full ration
OF shelled corn and a half ration of

$15.S2 while the lot that received no
shelled corn and full ration of sill
age gave a profit of 23.11.

building silos by the thousands and

Kansas Horse Disease Spreads

dicate that treatment given early is
of great value, so that it behooves
the stockmen to detect the cases as
early as possible. The first symp-
toms are dullness and an exhibition
of wabbly gait on being moved.
In these districts stockmen should
see their horses at least three times
day and note whether any of the
animals are showing these symptoms.
If so, veterinarian should be called
at once. as it is only in the early
cases where treatment seems to be of
much value. Do not under any cir
cumstances attempt to drench the
animals as in most instances the
throat is paralyzed and the medicine
goes into the lungs. This results in
a mechanical pneumonia which al
ways means death.
