Carroll Times And Carroll Sentinel, The (Newspaper) - March 14, 1912, Carroll, Iowa T AND CARROLL SENTINEL TIMES VOLUME XV MARCH 1912 NUMBER 36 PRACTICAL RESULTS OF SILO Larsen of Willcy Presents Ad vantages of Silo to Carroll County Farmers The last two seasons have made the good farmer In this state stop and think what to do for getting better and feed for their cattle during the and the material seem to turn their thought to the which of course is the only thing that can help them But for some some people seem to be opposed to the use of silo thinking that silage would injure the Some think the silo Is only made for the farmer to spend their money without benefit to I it would be a good thing to stir up iu this matter and learn as much as possible about I asked our state dairy and food com Des who has one of the best dairy and stock food farms in this to be kind enough to answer a few questions and give us his opinion In regard to the silo for the uso on the common This letter the clip of hio report which follows is very interesting for I make uso of his letter and a lib oral extract from his annual report to the last general assembly to pre sent the subject in a comprehensive way to the newspaper readers of this Addressing me from Des under date of March Answering your favor of the 29th we application blank for Babcock test This li cense will only hold good until June The law provides these licenses shall expire at that time and there is no way we can change it so as it good for a Now as to the questions you ask with reference to will refer you to my page copy of which you undoubtedly which gives you quite a lot of We do that it covers all of the questions you Will say that after having used a slo for over twenty years we would not think of getting along without We have never had any trouble about cows losing their teeth in all this we think f I iTl As to the length of time a cow will we recently sold one that was seventeen years She was in per fect health and we only got rid of her because she ceased to be a breed She had had silage every year during her entire The man who goes into his field takes out tho ears leaving the stocks to stand only gets just 60 his crop and If party were to only put away 60 of the oats he people would feel he was a little bit wrong in the We the time will come when silos will be as numerous on tho farm as are corn Yours k Silos and Silage The high price of concentrated feed at the present one of great Importance to the dairyman Ten years ago It was Impossible tt buy commercial feeds at a nominal but today they have almost doubled In The with pure bred stock or a fancy mark et may possibly make a profit by us ing such but the average farmer must strive to raise his own grain 1 and roughage to a large Too many farmers are prone to believe that the only way to make money Is to get high prices for their products and have plenty of these products to but prices are not always high and tho farmer does not always have a large supply on so there mus bo some other factor entering Into the profit side of It Is reasonable to assume that the dairy man receiving only a fair price fo his product bo able to have an Income sufficient to pay him wages Mother Knows What To Use Balsam of Myrrh For Stiff Lame all External All a fair net ng the present price of butter fat 10 well managed

as the he ideal food for the dairy cow is reen pasture but for a number of months during the years she is de rived of this The best for green pasture are root and corn As silage twice as much dry matter ere as roots and does not require s much silage Is by far more wherever corn can be Silage has a laxative effect pon the animal and aids in main lining a healthy and vigorous con l The population of the United Is doubling every thirty means that the farms will gradually become smaller and that more feed must be produced per The high price of land de mands that more intensive methods must be used to obtain a dividend n proportion value of the tells us that one acre f corn placed In the silo will yield feed to supply a milk cow expounds of silage for 500 days or for 125 Another

along these There can only be a number of short courses held n the state during tho season aud Carroll county should count herself in securing one of these Figuring from a herd of ten cows a 40ton silo 15 cows a 60ton silo and 50 a 200ton The quality of silage as the depth increases due to the weight A certain per centage of mouldy silage found near the top of the silo proves that a cer tain weight is necessary to compress this and exclude the A silo should be at least 36 feet deep h a diameter gauged by the size of the In order that silage may be fed In good condition about one and a half Inches should be used from the top in winter and three inches in To facilitate close packing the walls must bo straight and smooth on the Inside and free from shoul ders or abutments of any The admission of air or the presence of air packets fermentation to take which spoils The success of a silo depends first upon its strength and upon the durability of tho material used In the To bo durable any material must resist the action of the the constant wetting freezing and thawing which takes place both inside and outside tho During the summer the silo is empty and must bo built exceptionally strange because Ok Its height In order to resist storms during this It is desirable that tho silo cost as little for repairs as possible and tho one that must he constantly adjusted for shrinkage and expansion Is of loss value than the one that needs so much atten The silo should always have a roof which not only preserves tho silage but braces the walls at tho My personal opinion Is that better Investment can be made on a farm than to put up a silo ami as 1 have tho agency for the DOB Moines Silo as far as I tho host stavo silo tho olio that has loops and the straight smooth 1 would appreciate very If who Is ready to Willcy Carroll i put up a silo this would give mo a change to do a with before you buy from any body Barriers Burned Away The people of this city and vicinity
