Table No. 4 gives the results of one season's feeding ex- 

 periments with four cows where silage was substituted for soil- 

 ing crops. It will be noticed from this experiment that the av- 

 erage cost per pound of producing the butter fat was 21.5 cents 

 or a difference in favor of silage of 3 cents. Attention may be 

 called to the fact that the cost of producing butter fat in both 

 of these experiments is somewhat higher than would be the case 

 on the average farm, which is accounted for by the fact that 

 the cows had to be very carefully watched in order to make the 

 comparative value of the experiment as all the crops and the 

 soiling crops were grown on exceedingly high priced land ad- 

 jacent to the State Farm. This, however, does not affect the 

 comparative value o fthe experiment as all the crops and the 

 cows were kept under the same conditions.
