quire:
“W hat’s wrong w ith my
silage— the cows don’t like it?”
Experience from past years in
dicate two silage making errors
w ill cover most of the difficulties,
answers Harold P. E w alt, exten
sion dairy specialist. For unap
petizing, sour smelling silage,
Ew alt says the usual fa u lt lies in
the fact the silage was put up too
moist or w ith no preservative, or
at least too little, added.
W hite mold on the silage is an
other frequent complaint.
This,
says Ew alt, is often caused by
loose packing or when the silage
is put up too dry.
In either event, it is too late a f
ter the damage is done to correct
it.
Unappetizing silage, how
ever, may be “dressed up” by add
ing a little bran m ix or molasses.
Cows w ill often learn to eat
slightly unpalatable sour silage i t
it is put before them for several
days.

a reminder for next year to tram p
silage for several successive days
after the silo is filled . A good
rule to follow is to tram p a sila
daily until settling is completed.
In rare cases an additional cause
of off-flavored silage results from
excessive weeds.
Grass silage is the cheapest feed
available; according to Ew alt. He
recommends that dairy animals be
given all of this type of feed they
w ill eat, since it is practically im
possible to overfeed. He cautions,
however, that up to 40 pounds
daily is the lim it fo r corn silage.
Foundering w ill result from ex
cessive silage feeding.
Three times a day feeding has
resulted in increased silage con
sumption for many dairymen,
Ew alt adds.
A L S E A — A practical above-the-
ground silo for grass silage was
b uilt here by Cris Baune for just
75 dollars. The silo is essentially
just a 9x22 foot box, 11 feet high,
made of planks and heavy timbers
and w ired together. The silo was
filled w ith grass, clover, vetch and
oats last spring. When opened re
