TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. FEBRUARY 13. 1917. THE TILLAMOOK DAIRYMEN PRODUCED 42,970,783 LBS. MILK IN 1916. FRANK HEYD& CO General Contractors and Builders. Manufactured 4,815,128 Pounds of Cheese Valued Estimates & Plans Furnished at $807,095—Increase of $180,592 SEE OUR * The dairy herds of Tillamook County produced 42.970,783 pounds of milk in 1916, being an increase of 2.219,542 pounds above that of the previous r, and lhe output of cheese was 4,815,128 pounds which is an increase of 609 pounds. Although the increase of the output of the cheese is small, a it increase in the price is recorded, making this the banner year for the large receipts. The cheese for last year sold for $807,095, which is an increase of $180,592 and is bringing the output to near the million dollar mark, '¡'here are 23 cheese factories in the county, 19 of which Carl Haberlach acted as secretary-salesman, of that number 18 were under the supervision of the in spector F. W. Christensen, who inspected those factories and graded the cheese. One pleasing result is the gradual decrease in the production of Call at our plant and get prices, save you money. ONE BLOCK WEST OF P.O Both Phones Continue«! front next page.) Locating the Silo. As silage is a heavy feed, the first consideration in locating a silo should t>e convenience for feeding, 't his as a rule requires it to be placed at one end of the barn, especially if the rows of cows face each other and there is <1 feeding alley between Placing the silo in the barn is not advisable, for it is not always convenient to fill, and space is occupied tliot may otherwise lie used to advantage. Silos should be so constructed and cared for a*, not to need the protection of the barn. Roof of Silo. ’1 he most condemnatory practice on the part of the builder of the home made silo is the construction of a roof that makes the silo the most de plorable appearing building on the farm, and does not reinforce the building as does a properly construct ed roof. Quite frequently no roof at all is added, which is false economy. The conical roof is economical and easily constructed by the use of a peak cut froi* a post or piece of log. It presents a better appearance than any other type of roof. Value of Silo on Dairy and Livestock Farms. -------o- ■ ■ Practical dairymen who are silo users say that the silo on the farm means a saving from 8 to to rents a poll nil in the cost of producing butter fat, beef feeders say it saves from $1 to $1.50 per hundred pounds in pro ducing beef, and feeding experiments at experiment stations bear out these statements. Ou this basis ensilage at the present price of feed is worth about $5.00 per ton. The inadvisability of doing without a silo seems to be more important than the question of whether or not to build a silo. Estimates based in in quiries at this office indicate that there w ill be 50 or more silos built in this county the coming season, Wc shall be very glad to give aid to any wishing to build a silo.

In soiling one must often start feeding when a crop is too immature and continue after it it too ripe. The silo enables us to cut when the crop is just right. 6. The silo filled in the spring with the first cutting clover will supple ment the pasture* in the fall when drouth makes them short. It can be refilled in the fall with corn or artichokes for winter and spring use. 7. Food from thistles: Crops unfit for making hay, can be made into a palatable food when put into the silo. The seeds of our common weeds are killed by the fermentations of the silage, and thus do not reinfect our field*. 8. A crop partially cured for hay and then got wet can be saved by putting it into the silo. -***■
