Capacity  of  Round  Silos 
Every  year  we  are  asked  about  the 
tonnage  capacity  of  round  silos'.  The  fol¬ 
lowing  table  has  beeu  figured  out  to  show 
what  the  silo  may  be  expected  to  carry 
when  the  corn  is  finely  cut  and  well 
packed  down.  The  average ‘cow  will  take 
cure  <>f  about  40  pounds  per  day  for 
about  200  days.  Thus  one  ton  will  usu¬ 
ally  carry  one  cow  50  days:

Silage  from  Sunflowers 
Some  years  ago  there  was  considerable 
talk  about  silage  from  sunflowers,  or 
corn  and  sunflowers  mixed  together. 
Great  tilings  were  claimed  for  the  com¬ 
bination,  but  after  several  years  of  trial 
tbe  plan  seemed  to  fade  away.  Jsow  it 
is  coming  up  once  more  as  the  high  price 
of  grain  and  feed  is  driving  farmers  to 
all  sorts  of  experiments  to  produce  a 
cheap  ration.  Tbe  lutest  is  from  Colo¬ 
rado  in  “News  Notes'’ : 
Some  interest  is  being  manifested  in 
tbe  sunflower  as  a  possible  forage  crop 
for  dry  land,  especially  with  regard  to 
its  possible  use  for  silage.  A  number 
of  years  ago  a  mixture  of  one-tliird  sun¬ 
flowers  and  two-thirds  corn,  known  as  the 
Robertson  mixture,  was  advocated  for 
feeding  dairy  Cows,  but  little  has  been 
heard  of  this  mixture  for  years.  Suu- 
ilower  seeds  are  rich  iu  protein  and  oil. 
lint  the  stems  are  often  too  coarse  and 
woody  to  be  particularly  valuable.  The 
following  letter  from  a  correspondent  at 
Grand  Junction.  Colorado,  is  interest¬ 
ing: 
“I  have  recently  opened  a  pit  of  sun¬ 
flower  silage,  and  am  now  feeding  it  to 
my  Jerseys.  I  find  that  I  have  produced 
a  slight  gain  iu  the  milk  flow  by  its  use, 
and  apparently  it  is  an  appetizer,  for 
they  clean  up  their  Alfalfa  better  than 
they  did  previous  to  feeding  tbe  silage. 
If  the  sunflowers  make  as  good  silage 
as  it  now  appears,  we  are  on  the  right 
track  for  a  cheap  dairy  feed.  I  produced 
an  estimated  crop  of  MO  tons  to  the  acre 
in  55  days  from  planting.  This  would 
permit  of  two  crops  on  the  same  piece 
of  ground  every  year.  We  found  stalks 
at  cutting  time  that  weighed  15  pounds 
each/’ 
Until  a  greater  amount  of  definite  in¬ 
formation  can  be  obtained,  it  will  be  ne¬ 
cessary  to  wait  a  while  before  recom¬ 
mending  tbe  sunflower  too  highly  as  a 
silage  crop  except  to  mix  with  other 
crops.  Tbe  following  comparisons  of  the 
digestible  nutrients  in  the  green  sunflow¬ 
er  plant  and  in  green  silage  corn  may  be 
interesting,  however  :

Prof.  R.  T..  Patty  of  South  Dakota 
tolls  of  finding  many  >tnv*>  silos  that  have 
blown  down  01*  out  of  shape.  He  says  such 
silos  could  be  remedied  by  using  inside 
wooden  lmops: 
‘  This  hoop  is  made  of  thin  narrow 
lumber,  usually  narrow  weathorboavd- 
ing,  that  Pail  be  bent  to  tit.  the  inside  of 
the  silo.  Pieces  eight  or  ten  feet  long 
are  used  and  one  layer  is  nailed  on  top 
of  another,  being  careful  to  break  joints, 
A  four  or  five-ply  hoop  (four  or  five 
thicknesses  of  weutherlmurding)  is  strong 
enough  for  the  average  sized  stave  silo.  The 
bottom  hoop  can  be  pul  on  now  any  time 
and  the  top  one  after  filling  this  Fall.  A 
center  hoop  on  the  inside  should  not  be 
put.  on  unless  necessary  since  a  smooth 
wall  allows  the  silage  to  settle  better."

A  Sir.o  SriiGEsiiov. — If  any  of  your 
readers  intend  building  silos  in  the  future 
I  would  suggest  that  care  be  taken  to 
make  the  opening  in  roof  plenty  large 
enough,  so  a  man’s  head  and  shoulders 
as  well  as  the  curved  portion  of  silage 
blower  can  lit  easily  in.  I  have  been 
helping  fill  silos  recently,  and  in  two 
cases  time  was  wasted  in  getting  rigged 
up  because  of  small  opening.  There  has 
been  a  rather  short  corn  crop,  and  one 
man  planted  Soy  beans  and  cut  them 
with  iris  corn  by  machinery,  the  beans 
iu  between  corn  in  same  rows.  a.  r.  if.
