CORN FOR SILAGE. 



147 



The amount of silage to winter full-grown 

 animals is about four tons each, in addition to other 

 fodder. 



Some are under the impression that corn shocked 

 in the field and cut or shredded as required is equal 

 in feeding value to silage, and according to analysis 

 there is little difference, except that there is less 

 water in the dry corn; but in practical experiments 

 in feeding there is a very great difference in favor 

 of silage.
