FARM DAIRYING 



Alfalfa is being used for silage with equal suc- 

 cess, being still richer than clover in protein. 



Cow-peas, soja-beans, sorghum, and various 

 other plants are successfully used to fill the silo. 



Much less room is required for the storing of 

 the same amount of food when placed in a silo. 

 A ton of hay requires 400 cubic feet; a ton of 

 silage, 50 cubic feet. 



Silaging the clover crop takes away the anxiety 

 lest the weather should be wet, and where corn 

 cannot be successfully grown, it provides the suc- 

 culent food so necessary to good health and a 

 heavy milk-flow.
