134 Colcord's System of 



the milkers nearly doubling their milk, the 

 others gaining in weight. 



Considering the quality of the corn put into 

 the silo, I think this is a remarkable showing ; 

 and it would seem to be an impossibility for 

 any corn crop to be a failure, with a good silo. 



Green forage preserved by this system is 

 better and of greater feeding value during the 

 last month than during the first month, taking 

 it from the silo. 



I can see no reason to doubt perfect success 

 every year with the crop, the silo, the system, 

 and the silo governor. By using this system, 

 there is no waste or loss of the corn. By using 

 the governor, all the air and free gases are re- 

 moved, which prevents heat and fermentation 

 (we have never had above 78 of heat): conse- 

 quently, we have no foul odors, and 50 per

THE ADVANTAGE OF JUICE. 



There is also a great advantage in having 

 the juice from the corn taken up evenly 

 throughout the mass, reducing the tempera-

 goods and superior, inasmuch as the corn is 

 soaking under pressure in free juice, render-
