Mr. Joseph Elliott, Windsor, Henry county, Mo., feeds silage 

 to cows and young stock and says "I like the silage for feeding very 

 well. Would not like to be without one. It is not only good feed 

 for cows but all kinds of cattle, and when it is put up in the fall it 

 is so much easier to get at than to have to go to the fields for corn 

 fodder; with ensilage we get the whole corn plant for food." 



Mr. Fred Parcher, Maryville, Nodaway county, Mo., feeds sil- 

 age to cows and young cattle and says, "Results in a saving of one- 

 half in feed store bills and over one-half in amount of hay eaten." 



Mr. H. S. Hand, Appleton City, St. Clair county. Mo., says "I 

 find it (silage) excellent for dairy cows. Our cows milk as well in 

 winter as they do in summer; in fact, they usually gain when we 

 commence to feed." 



Mr. John Miles, Grays' Summit, Franklin county. Mo., feeds 

 silage to dairy cows and horses and says, "Results are good. I 

 like it well and think it an ideal method of securing succulent food." 



Mr. Fritz Sensor, Corder, Lafayette county, Mo., says, "I have 

 been feeding it to all of my cattle. It is of most value to milk 

 cows." 



Mr. John Patterson, Kirksville, Adair county. Mo., has fed sil- 

 age for many years and says of it, "When I speak of the economy of 

 putting corn into silos to feed cows, I don't mean that it is good for 

 cows only, it is good for all kinds of stock. All seem to like it and 

 thrive on it, and when you get buildings and machinery for it, it 

 does not cost any more to put it in silos than to cut and shock, etc., 

 and it is much more convenient to feed in barns or sheds where 

 stock can be comfortable and all the manure saved." 



Mr. N. H. Gentry, Sedalia, Mo., says, "I put up a silo the past 

 summer 30 feet high by 20 in diameter. We filled it with cut corn 

 and it is proving a very cheap, economical feed. We are feeding it 

 to all our cattle, and our work horses have had no other grain all 

 winter, keeping in good condition. In thus consuming the whole 

 corn plant it proves a very cheap food. We mix a little other grain 

 with it in feeding milk cows and young cattle we wish to push along, 

 but the dairy cows get nothing but it, and they eat very little hay. 

 I think I will put up a smaller silo for summer feeding in case of 

 severe drouth, and after carrying it through the summer and it is 

 not needed, we can feed it out through the winter or fall." 



Mr. C. T. Graves, Maitland, Mo., had charge of the Jerseys at 

 the World's Fair in 1904, and the excellent showing made there was 

 partly due to the superior corn silage that was fed.
