DIRECTIONS FOR
FILLING A SILO
Everything Should Be in Readi-
ness for Continuous Run
When Cutting Starts.
DENIED EARS ARE FAVORED
Short Lengths Mean Greater Space,
Less Air and. Decreased LikeIi-
hood of SpoiIing-AppIy Enough
Water to Mosten.

Silo filing is hurry-up job in or
der to get all the growth possible and
to avoid frost. Consequently every
thing should be made ready for a
continuous run when cutting starts.
The cutter should be put in first
class shape, special attention being
given to the knives and knife heads.
An extra set of knives should be on
hand. The blower, fan. and both
knives should run at the rated speed.
Poor joints and a leaky blower. mean
more power and clogging. The cutter
bar should be in good condition and
the knives and bar properly adjusted
to each other. If any extras are like
ly to he needed for the corn binder
they should be on hand.
To Make Best Stage.
Authorities agree that the nearer
ripe the corn is, if it contains enough
water to make good silage, the sweet
err the silage will be and consequently
the more palatable; also the greater
lne dlnOuul Vi ulSeSllDle uulIlelll IL
will contain. Roughly speaking, a
majority of the ears should be dented.
When large quantities are to be cut it
is necessary to begin before the corn
is at its best, otherwise the last cut
will be too ripe.
Shortcut silage means greater silo
capacity, less air space, and if the
corn is little dry, less likelihood of
spelling. Short cutting, also, means
reduced capacity of the machine and
more power If the stalks are coarse
and woody the waste is greater in
long-cut siage. In fine stalked corn
that is very green there is less diff
ference between the long and short
cut. ..,
T., Water Is Essential,
When corn is very dry from being
overripe or frozen, it is often neces-
sarya to apply water to the slage in
order to make it keep. Enough water
should be applied to moisten thor
oughly the whole mass. There is little
danger Of applying too mitch water

oneshalf to. two horsepower gas for
