Raleigh, N. G., June30 ? The si lo on the dairy farm is indispensable where the owner has as many as 10 or 12 cows and the cost is small as compared to the value. There is an increasing use of si los in North Carolina because silage furnishes, during winter, that feed which nearest approaches summer pasturage at its best. Silage is a suc ci(lent feed when pasture is not available. It makes possible a cheap er ration, gives a greater feed value to an acre of corn and keeps up the milk flow in winter "Forty percent of the feeding value of corn is in the stalks and leaves and these are saved when converted into silage," says H. H. Gordon, extension agricultural engi neer at State College. "The average cow will consume 30 pounds of sil age per cow or enough to carry her for six months.

I Mr. Gordon states that when feed ing from the silo begins, at least two inches should be removed each day to prevent spoiling. Therefore the number of cows to be fed deter mines the diameter of the silo. Less than 15 head of cattle, will re quire a silo 10 feet in diameter; 15 to 25 not over 12 feet in diameter and 25 to 40 head not over 14 feet in diameter. It is not advisable to build a silo over 14 feet in diameter and should the herd require more silage another silo should be con structed. A wooden silo costs about $2 to $3 per ton capacity; a concrete si lo, from $5 to $6 per ton capacity and a hollow tile silo, from $10 to $12 per ton capacity. Bills of ma terial and instructions for building^ silos may be obtained free of charge on application to Mr. Gordon at State College.
