Preserving Green Forage 109 



for milk producers this way is to give up the 

 name of silo and ensilage and introduce a new 

 article. I know of no one so well situated as 

 yourself to open the ball by calling attention 

 to " Colcord's Green Forage, or Fodder," as 

 being a better article of food than ensilage, one 

 being a product of fermentation, and the other 

 the preservation of the natural conditions of 

 the fodder, stored for future use. 



I see nothing in your past movements to 

 prevent you at once assuming this position, to 

 attract the attention of farmers, and particu- 

 larly those having silos and using ensilage. 

 The latter can be informed how to make good 

 their expenditures in buildings for trying to 

 make a quality of ensilage fit for dairy pur- 

 poses. 



Please send a circular to Mr. , at , 



who has a large silo that has not been used for 

 several years, and is sending milk to this mar- 

 ket from about 200 cows. 



Yours truly, 



I. W. W.
