found that silage reduced the cost of
production of a gallon of milk 39.03
ler cent and the coat of producing a
pound of butter fat 29.9 per cent when
compared with cows fed on cottonseed
hulls as a roughage. This experiment
is very important as the results were
gotten from herds over the entire
State and are representative of actual
farm conditions. It is further inter-
esting to note that the silage was val-
ued at $3 and the hulls at $6 per ton.
I believe that the estimate of $3 per
ion ior snage was Bouiewuai mgu us
it can be produced for $2.50 per ton
and we all know that at present hulls
are worth considerably more than $6
per ton.
The above experiments all show
that silage is a good feed for dairy
cows. In fact as I have often stated
I believe that a silo will mean the
difference between success and failure
to the man who Is in the dairy busi-
ness to stay and while we often hear
the expression "I can not afford to
build a silo" a more correct statement
would be "I can not afford to be
without a silo."

On March 10 the patrons of Milliran

ward the bettering of their public
school. They sent in a petition to
Judge J. T. Maloney for an election
to be held April 5 for the purpose of
raising the local school tax. This will
enable them to build another room

standard of the school. They also hope
to add the department of agriculture.

SILAGE FOR DAIRY COWS

the two feeds are nearly equal and
that it would be left with the dairy
farmer as to what system would be
the cheapest to use for summer feed-
ing depending largely on the price of
labor. The experiment brings out one
very strong point iu favor of silage
namely that it kept up the milk flow
during the winter months.
Silage Replacing Grain.
A large number of dairymen over
the State are feeding heavy grain ra-
tions often as high as 12 to II pounds
daily per cow. They claim that such

founding of the Cleveland memorial
rpinbrated here today many dis-
tinguished persons coming from New
York and other cities to attend the
ceremonies. The Grover Cleveland
Birthplace Memorial Association was
recently incorporated. The association
has raised $18000 to purchase from
the First Presbyterian Church here
the "old mansion" where President
Cleveland was born. Efforts are being
made to raise $25000 more for the
care of the memorial.

price of land is too high "to warrant
its use as pasture. Such a system has
its limitations however ahd unless
labor is cheap it is not to be recom-
mended extensively. The question nat-
urally arises if the same results can
be gotten from feeding silage instead
ot the soilage crops.
The two systems have been thor-
oughly compared by the New Jersey
experiment station. In this experi
ment a herd of twenty-three cows was i
fed on green feeds (soiling) from May
1 to November 1 and on silage the
other six months. The experiment
was continued for seven years. The
cows freshened quite uniformly
throughout the year thereby making
the results comparable.
The average yield of milk and fat in
pounds is shown in the following table
for each six months period:
Average Per Cow.
Milk. Fat.
I.otl. Soiling crops May
1 to Nov. 1 3402 146. 8
Lot 2. Silage Nov. 1 to
May 1 3024 132.4
Although slightly more milk and fat
was given during the period the cows
were fed on soiling crops we must
consider that this feeding was carried
(low and in some respects they are
right in this statement but at the
present price of grain or concentrated i
feed it requires a very excellent dairy
cow to produce milk at a profit when
over 10 pounds of grain is fed and the
substitution of some cheaper feed than j
grain is therefore of economical im- j
portance in the production of milk.
To determine whether silage could be j
I used profitably to replace some of the
grain 'feed for dairy cows the Ohio
station conducted the following test: I
Two lots of four cows each were fed
for a period of four months one lot
on a ration containing no silage but :
14 pounds of concentrated feed the
other lot on 60 pounds of silage with
4 pounds of concentrated feed. The
two rations contained practically the j
same amount of dry matter and crude ;
protein and the two lots of cows were
identical regarding uniformity of .
breeding and individuality and time
of calving. Results show that the
cows on slage averaged two and one- :
half pounds of milk and one-fourth of .
a pound of butter fat per cow daily
more than the cowa that were not fed
silage. In other words besides produc-
ing more milk the ration was cheap- i
ened considerably as 60 pounds of sil-

feed consisted of a mixture of oat
meal corn meal and wheat bran and
would be worth at present market
prices at least $28 per ton. This
makes our silage worth one-sixth of
$28 or $1.66 2-3 per ton when It can
be produced for at least $2..ri0 per ton.
Silage Compared with Corn Fodder.
When compared with corn fodder
(stalk leaves and ear cured dry) it
was found by the New Jersey experi-
ment station that the cows fed on sil-
age produced 12.8 per cent more milk
than those on the dry fodder. In this
case both rations contained the same
amount of dry matter or digestible
nutrients.
The Economy of the Silo.
In an experiment extending over a
period of two months with thirty cows
the Mississippi experment staton
found that 27 1-2 tons of silage took
the place of .'310 pounds of wheat
bran 7120 pounds of Johnson grass
hay and 14490 pounds of cottonseed
hulls. At the present market price of
wheat bran Johnson grass hay and
cottonseed hulls this would make the
corn silage worth $6.43 per ton or In
other words assuming that It costs
$2.50 per ton to produce this silage
there was a saving of $3.95 on every
ton of silage that was fed.
In a later bulletin published by the
same station valuing silage at $3 per
ton and hulls at $6 per ton It was
