The weij^ht per cubic foot of corn silage at the bottom of a silo 

 30 feet deep is about 60 pouiids, towards the top it is about 80 

 pounds. The average weight per cubic foot of silage in a deep 

 silo can be taken as something over 40 pounds. 



Silage is not a food suited to all conditions and all limes and 

 Should not be fed to the exclusion of other foods essential to a 

 good ration, but there is no longer question as to its efficiency 

 and the economy of its use.
