CIT SILAGE FINE
AND SEAL THE SILO
Care In Storing More Than Repaid In
Increased Feed Value Throughout
the Winter

The college of agriculture at
Ithaca advocates that the corn should
be cut In small pieces, because 1t
packs better in the silo and Is eaten
clean by stock without waste. The
sections should be not longer than
from one-haf inch to an inch. 1T is
acknowledged that this plan requires
more power ON the silage cutter, buf
the results justify having the machine
set for the finer cut. This Is only one
of the many points necessary In nav
ing the silo machinery repaired and
ready for use.
III a blower Is used distributing
attachment Is necessary, or skiifed
helper should be assigned to the 1ob
of mixing and packing the material
in the silo 80 that no soft pockets are
formed.
WHEN WATER is USEFUL .
Corn cut at the proper stage OF ma
turity-the denting or glazing stage
should require no additional mols-
ture. but II the crop has become too
dry or has been frosted, water VIII
add to keeping qualities and palata-
bility.
To prevent decay at the top some
farmers seal the silo with three or
four loads of green corn from which
the ears have been removed; some
use other sorts OF heavy green crops !;
while still others use sawdust In
Ohio it is common practice to cover
the silage with floor sweeping OF
chaff and grain after the threshing'
The grain In the chaff will sprout'
makes an excellent cover, and ex-
cludes the air from the silage. This
practice may be good II the grain In
the chaff does not have more value
as a poultry feed. In every case say
the Cornell workers, 1t is advisable
to soak the covering thoroughly with
water and to tramp 1t regularly for
several days after it has been placed
In the silo.
