should be supplemented with 1 pound of old process linseed oil meal or 
cottonseed meal daily per 1,000 pounds live weight, sprinkled over the 
silage. 
"Horses to be wintered on a silage and hay ration should be started 
on about 5 pounds of silage daily per 1,000 pounds live weight, the grain 
and hay ration being gradually decreased as the silage is increased until 
the ration is 20 pounds silage and 10 pounds of hay daily per 1,000 pounds 
live weight. It will require about a month to reach the full feed of silage, 
but the period may be decreased somewhat, depending on the judgment 
and skill of the feeder. 
"Mares fed in this manner will be in splendid condition for foaling, 
and, so far as the writer's experience goes, the foals will be fully as vigor- 
ous, with just as much size and bone, as if the mares were fed the con- 
ventional grain and hay ration." 
"Corn silage is exceedingly valuable feed for dairy cows, and during 
the past few years especially, since it has been put in the silo in a more 
mature condition, it has proven to be a very economical feed for 
Da^r^Cows g^o^^^S young cattle and for fattening them for market. If 
and Hogs *^orn is not cut until after the ears ripen with the most of the 
leaves still green,. it produces the best quality of silage for fat- 
tening purposes. In fact, it is better to let it get a little over-ripe so 
that it is necessary to use water to make it pack in the silo than to cut it 
too green. Immature corn not only produces less feed to the acre, but 
silage from such corn is more apt to sour and is less valuable for feeding
