Raleigh, N. C.? Any farmer or dairyman considering the construction of a trench silo may fiiid encouragem- in the experience of men who have tried them. John A. Arey. dairy extension spe! cialist at State College, has on file J statements of quite a few farmers ; who are enthusiastic about their siilos. The statements indicate that: Silage is the cheapest and best cattle feed available and the only way dairymen can meet the present butterfat prices and still show profit. Cows fed on siiaire during the win | tcr maintain as heavy a milk flow a.s | they do in summer when feeding on green pasturage. The silage also keeps the animals in good physical condition to withstand cold weather Xo one with cows can afford to be without a silo. One farmer who fed four cows, five yearlings, and four mules from his silo, ted his cows about lialf the usual gram ration and got as much milk as he did in summer from a full grain ration and plenty of succulent pasturage, This man said that he prefers silos five feet wide at the top, two feet wide at the bottom, six feet deep, and 50 feet long as being best for the size of his herd. Still another dairyman likes his trench silo so well that he is going to increase the size and line the sides and bottom with .concrete -to insrease its feed preserving value. Some dairymen get good results without a cover over their silos, especially when the weather is dry,; but many of them prefer to have i them covered, Mr. Arey says.
