52 Colcord's System of 



cutting the corn in one-half to three-quarter 

 inch lengths, weighting 100 pounds to the 

 square foot, and with this pressure getting one 

 foot or more of juice in the bottom of the silo. 

 We remove the air from the silo by using Col- 

 cord's Silo Governor, which causes a heavy 

 vertical, with very little lateral, pressure. We 

 obtain as uniform results cold, moist, soft, and 

 pulpy ensilage, of the natural color of the corn, 

 without offensive odor, imparting no odor to 

 the silo, barn, hands, or clothing, but often of a 

 bright, sweet smell, and sometimes the odor of 

 nice, dry corn fodder. We feed an average of 

 60 pounds daily to each cow, and our cattle 

 eat it all without any waste. 



"We regard Mr. Colcord's system as the' 

 true, if not the only true, method of ensilaging 

 green forage crops, and recommend it as sure, 

 uniform, economical, and less troublesome than 

 any other. By using this system, with the 

 governor," according to directions, any one may 

 be sure of success with ensilage.
