DEEP SILOS ARE STRONGLY RECOMMEND!:

Larger Storage Capacity Insures Perfect Preservation of Silage Considerations of Economy Another Argument in Favor

Deep Siios—Pointers From Iowa Agricultural College.

The quality of the silage Improves as the depth increases, due to the weight above. The usual silo today is 80 or more feet deep. A larger percentage of moldy or otherwise inferior silage is found near the top of a silo than at the center or near the bottom, proving that a certain weight is necessary to compresB the silage and exclude the air so as to insure its perfect preservation. By building a deep silo a greater percentage of good Bilage is obtained, which is, of course, a matter of economy. Good practice at present seems to dictate that the depth should be at least 30 feet. Some limitation in height may be necessary in silos of light construction on account of the wind, or the strength of the walls to resist crumpling, but In masonry silos greater height than the average is advisable. A large percentage of good silos are built considerably deeper, even 60 to 60 feet.

The capacity of a silo varies as the square of the diameter, while the wall surface varies directly as the diameter. This means that as far as capacity is concerned the silo should be of as large diameter as possible. But there are other limiting factors involved. When silage is left exposed to the air for a short time, more than a day, it spoils. Enough must be removed dally so that It will keep fresh. In well settled silage the air does not penetrate much over an inch, and if 1% to 2 inches are fed from the surface daily the silage will remain fresh. In warm weather the spoiling will take place much more rapidly than In cold weather, requirittg that Bilage be removed from the surface to a

depth each day in order to

keep it fresh. It has been noticed also that

air

penetrates into loose, dry

silage farther than it does into that which is moist and compact. Thus it is see* that under some circumstances an inch might be sufficient, but in order to have fresh silage under all circumstances the silo should be of such size that approximately two inches will be fed from the surface each day. After silage has been placed in the silo there is more or less settling, the amount of which will depend on the condition of the silage and the amount of tramping it is given when the silo is filled. Under average conditions the settling will amount to about one-sixth or oneflfth of the total depth. Where one silo is used it should be of Buch a depth to provide for the feeding season by removing the necessary amount each day. Thus if the silo has 30 feet of silage in it after settling, it will provide silage for 180 days or six months by removing two inches from the surface each day.

The following table gives the capacity of various sizes of round silos and the amount which must be fed dally to lower the surface about two inches per day. This table assumes that the silage is mad$ of well-matured corn

FEED FOR THE FALL PIGS

During Winter Months Oilmeal or Meat Meal in Conjunction With Corn Should Be Used.

W. P. P., Union county, asks: "Why are fall pigs more subject to worms than spring pigs? I have some pigs that have worms and would like to have some information that would help me to get rid of them. Some are beginning to runt a little. Have been feeding mostly warmed soaked corn and slop."

Answered by animal husbandry department: "The principal difficulty in rearing fall pigs as compared with spring pigs is that you do not have the same variety of feed during the winter months—during the summer you have plenty of green feed, which has a favorable influence on the digestive system. During the winter months I would suggest that you feed some oilmeal or meat meal to your pigs in conjunction with your corn. This will certainly help you out. Corn alone Is not a good feed for young and growing pigs. You should feed some feed with more protein. Feed say 7 parts corn to 1 part meat meal or 4 parts corn to 1 part oilmeal to young pigs and 1 feel sure that you will get good results."—W. J. Kennedy.

Stock Dip.

Mr. C. O. Garrett of Iowa says: "Lime-sulphur Is the best stock dip I have ever used. It is very much superior to many dips now on the market, being more effective and more durable, and it is absolutely not Injurious."

of

and that after the silo has been filled and allowed to settle for two days it is refilled to the top. The amount which should be fed daily is based upon an average weight of 40 pounds per cubic foot. By examining the table the economy of Increasing the depth of the silo is observed. A silo 16 feet in diameter and 30 feet deep will contain 119 tons of silage, while if its depth be 40 feet it will contain ISO tons, or one-half more.

The following table gives the approximate amount of Bilage required per day for various kinds of stock:

Wintering breeding aheep 8 to 5 Fattening lambs 2 to 3 Fattening sheep 8 to 4

The preceding table in connection with Table I may be used to determine the size of the silo needed to fulfill various conditions. For instance, if the silage is to be fed to a herd of 40 dairy cattle at the rate of 40 pounds per head per day, a silo 16 or 18 feet in diameter will be satlsfac tory.

TO HAVE SUMMER SCHOOL
