TO GROW SUFFICIENT slLAGE
Experts Assert It Is Better to Care
fully Figure on silo to Fit
Herd of Cows.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment OF Agriculture.)
The planting season is the time
when the dairy farmer should arrange
to see that He has crops enough to fill
his silo. AS case in point, Missis-
sippi farmer failed to take this matter
into consideration when he bought a
silo of 90 tons capacity, for he found
that he had corn and sorghum for
only 20 tons of silage; and since, more
over, he had only 8 cows, he decided
he had made mistake, and tried to
sell his new silo instead of setting it
up. A field man from the dairy divi-
sion of the United States Department
of Agriculture however, persuaded
him to keep it until the next year, and
to put up a small stave silo for imme-
date use. He did so, and found it
such a help in feeding his cows cheap
ly that he bought more land and re-
solved to enlarge his herd to 30 cows,
and thus make good use of his larger
silo.
Both the height and the diameter
of the Silo must be considered The
proper diameter of the silo depends
upon the quantity of silage to be fed
daily; and this quantity will vary
with the size of the herd. The silage
should be fed out fast enough to re
move it from the top of the silo at the
rate of ~ to inches day, depend
ing upon climatic conditions. The
warmer the weather the more silage
must be removed from the surface
daily in order to prevent spelling. For
the winter feeding season it is safer
to figure upon removing inches daily
than any smaller amount
A common error in building is to
make the diameter too large for the
size of the herd. The weight of a
cubic foot of silage varies according
to the pressure to which it is sub
jected, but in silo 80 feet high the
weight per cubic foot averages about
40 pounds. So, by knowing the guam
tity of silage to be fed daily, it is pos
sible to estimate what the diameter
of the silo should be to permit the
removal of q certain number of inches
each day. The table below shows the
proper diameter CT the silo on basis
Of 40 pounds of silage per cubic foot,

Abraham's Oak Tree.

When Abraham was promised pos
session of the land of Canaan, it is
recorded, he was commanded to walk
through the land, whereupon he re-
moved his tent, and came and dwelt
in the plain of Mamre. which is in
Hebron, and built there an altar to
the Lord. 1t is stated that this spot
is still marked by a great oak tree,
venerated alike by Christian, Jew and
Mohammedan. Its preservation in a
region cleared of almost all trees by
the improvident Turks is attributed
to the protection by ali religions.

A 900-pound COW ordinarily con-
sumes 80 pounds of silage day, and
a 1,200-pound one about 40 pounds.
Yearlings eat about one-half as much
as mature animals; fattening cattle,
25 to 35 pounds for each 1000 pounds
live weight.
1t happens, sometimes, that siio
is not wholly filed, because there is
not enough corn planted for silage,
and there are not enough of other
crops make up the deficiency. The
amount of silage that may be OBJ
tanned from an acre of corn varies
from 4 to 20 tons. A fair allowance
on average land is s tons per acre.
Hence for a cotton silo it might be
well to plant or 10 acres of corn.
1t is by all means best to lay out
land enough in silage crops TO fill the
silo to the very top: and If there is
any doubt about how much will be
needed, to allow a margin of safety,
remembering that the season may cut
down the yield Of this as well as OF
other crops. On the other hand, If
there is too much corn or sorghum
TO go into the spo, the excess can be
cut as dry fodder, and other crops
can be made into hay.
Two bulletins issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture are useful in this
connection; one is Farmers Bulletin
1855. Homemade Silos; and the other
Is Farmers Bulletin SIS, The Making
and Feeding Of Silage.
