A dairy, or stock farm today
looks lost, without a silo, because
It ; Is ' not complete, and in the
near future the few farmers, who
do not believe in silage . will be
crowded; out of the field entirely.
In plain words a .silo is a store
b.ous5 and a. fleless cooker, for sil
age crops. The silo is the cheap
est building on the farm in which
to "itorejj feed. Crops can be stor
ed In a jsilo cheaper than they can
be stored in the barn as hay or
dTy feeds. ' H- , I
Through the chemical acrton
which takes Tlaca Inside of ta
silo, the fibrous parts of fully
matured crops.; are softened : 1
alyrut the same manner as they
would be in a , nreiess cooker;
tlius it Is possible to raise crops
that produce from (en to thirty
tons per acre, such as sunflowers
and corn, which have large fi
brous Btalks and change them 1
to a palatable and succulent
feed.) ' " 1

sons When Pastures are Bare '
A barn without a silo now looks
like' a cow- without a tail.. ;
Green feed, is the natural food
fpr cows giving milk. If cows
cjmld niiuate each fall like birds;
lee green feed problem would ' be
solved, but as this is out of the

thing and bring the green feed to
the cows. The silo is ihe way.
And not only is it useful for' sup

ft is also a great aid to summer
pastures. , Farmers look forward
to summer pasture as a'meani of
cutting feed costs,' but "too often
pastures are more expensive than
silage fed in the barns; pastures
which could better be used in
more profitable crops. . i 1 '
The objection to silos because
of the expense of filling 1s t still
heard at times. . It is true 'that

in the "corn belt of the central

Right here- is where the silo

the soil. .Bring corn Into Septem

from first dent to complete ripe

This- applies more particularly to

it nas been estimated that ths,

be about five feet square for each
cow in . the herd. ! Thus, for

of feeding surface of a silo 11

40 cows, 200 square "feet or
diameter of 16 feet; and a 'here,
of 50 cows 250 square feet, or at,

Many have made the mistake
of building a silo, with too larg
a diameter. They have experi
