*'The sole purpose in conducting this dairy farm is to make 
money. In order to do this both Mr. Brewster and his wife keep careful 
track of their cattle and of the markets, and they spare no effort to 
make their investment a profitable one. From a financial standpoint it is 
unquestionably successful. Throughout the past summer more than a 
hundred dollars per month has been realized from the milk of the herd 
of 8 cows. 
"Mr. Brewster considers the silo indispensable to the dairy farm. 
The one on this place is of cement construction, 30 feet high and 15 feet 
wide." — The Farmer's Review, Chicago. 
"The feeding of corn silage judiciously to a herd bull does not injure 
his prepotency. It is true of corn silage as of any other food, if the animal 
is overfed injury of one kind or another will result. Corn silage 
Silage for should provide only a portion of the animal's ration. All ani- 
Animals mals demand a certain amount of dry food daily, therefore hay 
should be fed in conjunction with silage for roughage. In addi- 
tion to this, especially in breeding season, the herd bull should have a light 
ration of foods conducive to the upbuilding of condition and stamina. 
Such foods are bran, oil meal and ground oats. Where corn silage is fed 
as a small portion of the ration for the purpose of supplying succulence 
rather than food nutrients, it is one of the most valuable feeds for all 
kinds of breeding animals." — KimbaWs Dairy Farmer, Waterloo.
