SILAGE THE YEAR AROUND
In a recent contest conducted by
the Farmers Mail & Breeze, John
Rhoades, of near WaKeeney, was one
of the prize winners. His letter viii
be interesting to may readers of The
World and is herewith published in
full:
81 saw your prize offered in Kansas
Farmer and Mail and Breeze for the
best letters on the economic use of
si1os and decided to write about my
experience Silage may be used for
green feed in the summer time when
the grass is short and dry from the
lack of rain. Silage is good for feed
ing and fattening stock for market.
You may put kafir, corn fodder, cane
and many other different kinds of feed
in the si1o and get nour1shing and
strengthening foods out OF them
that will prove more nourishing than
if they were fed dry. You may even
take sunf1owers and make nourishing
food for stock.
ttBy putting the fed in the silo you
do not have to let it be exposed to the
weather and it does not rot and waste
away so the stock will scarcely touch
it unless starved into eating it,
I believe that it is not as difficult to
keep alright and it is not as likely to
be destroyed by winds and weather.
However, it is more difficult to get
silage out of pit silo. After you have
filed the silo you have it handy and
do not have tc get out in the cold to
fed the stock, and it is much more
easily handled than fodder would be.
SiIage is an excellent feed for pre-
pairing a bunch of cattle for market.
It is good idea to keep a bunch of
pigs with the steers so that there will
be practically no waste.
tfI think that silos are just the thing
for economic use on the farm in sew
era1 different ways.-John Rhoades"
