Preserving Green Forage 33 



so that it is very easy to calculate how much 

 to plant, how much to feed, and how long it 

 will last. 



The "Dr. Bailey's Ensilage Cutter" will cut 

 and elevate from 40 to 100 tons daily, with a 

 6 to 8 horse-power engine and boiler. The 

 corn can be harvested and put into the silo in 

 almost any weather, hot or cold, dry or wet 

 (unless it rains too hard to work in the field), 

 with less trouble, in less time, more security, 

 and greater surety of perfect preservation, than 

 any fodder crop can be harvested in any other 

 way. 



We have the statement of M. Goffart, who 

 has tried it for many years, that Indian corn 

 can be raised continuously, year after year, 

 upon the same ground, by spreading upon the 

 manure piles, each week, 100 pounds of ground 

 bone to the equivalent of manure used upon 

 an acre of land. I give my authority for this 

 statement, because I have not tried it in this 

 way. M. Goffart also states that he raises 

 about 40 tons of fodder corn to the acre, upon 

 land fertilized in this way, upon the same land 

 continuously, and the forage keeps his cattle 

 in perfect health year after year.
