The time has nearly arrived for fill
ing silos-has quite arrived for build
ing additional ones If more space is
needed.
Materials are high. 1t may be a ques-
ton with the individual farmer wheth-
er he can afford to build silo this
year.
Realizing that possibility, the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
believes that many tnen may be in
clined to give too much weight to con-
structi0n cost and not enough to silage
value, and that therefore the adj
vantages of the silo ought at least to
be reStated.

Advantages of Silos.

Here are some of the outstanding
points in what the departments dairy
specialists think of sllos:
In general, more COW feed can be
grown on an acre of ground In curn
than in any other crop.
When put in silo it is more easily
harvested and cared for than any 9TH
er crop.
Sllage operations are absolutely in
dependent of weather conditions. Corn
for silage can be harvested in the rain.
The sllo makes possible full utiliza-
ton Of corn that otherwise would be
destroyed or damaged by frost.
The silo makes it possible to keep
more animals on given acreage,
which means more manure and con-
stantly increased soil fertility.
Harvesting corn as silage clears the
ground early so it can be prepared for
other crops.
WIN SlluSt IL II HOl HtCtSSdIy W pun
so many acres in hay.
In any other form considerable por
ton of the feeding value is lost.
Corn cured as fodder loses about 40
per cent of its feeding value.
Corn preserved as silage loses only
about 10 per cent of its feeding value.
About 80 per cent of corn fodder is
wasted in feeding.
Only about 5 per cent Of corn silage
is wasted in feeding.
In other silage crops, weedy growth
that would not be eaten at all as hay is
all eaten as silage.
Saved in any other form, feeds be-
come, in measure, less palatable and
less nourishing.
Silage is all succulent, and all pala-
table.

largely to higher salaries paid TO help
