Alfalfa for Silo 
My corn silage is about giving out, 
and I would like to know whether I could 
use my first cutting of Alfalfa for silage. 
If this could he done. I would like to 
know the balanced ration for my herd of 
cows, half Holstein and half Jersey, in 
order to get a good flow of milk. 
Virginia. J. c. c. 
It is possible to utilize the first cutting 
of Alfalfa for silage purposes, though I 
doubt very much the wisdom of this prac¬ 
tice. Alfalfa hay that has been well 
cured is quite as efficient in a dairy ration 
as the silage. Where products carrying 
as much protein as Alfalfa hay yields are 
put into the silo, their fermentation is 
excessive and a considerable portion of 
their feeding value is lost. Where prod¬ 
ucts of this character are mixed with

Silos with ordinary roofs can only 
be filled with blower cutters within 
three or four feet of the top. When 
the silage settles there is a loss of 
five or six feet of Silo capacity.

sure a full Silo.The nearly straight sides 
of the roof permit n full Silo, level at the 
top, after the silage has settled. Globes 
keep silage prime from top to bottom.

A S THOUSANDS of dairymen already know. Bob White Sure Death 
Fly Killer does not simply drive flies aw r ay, it knocks them 
dead. We guarantee it to kill every fly it hits. Flies will not 
pester a cow that has been sprayed with Bob White. 
Bob White overcomes the objections that you have to fly 
sprays made of crude carbolic acid or creosote. It lasts for 
hours. It w ill not stain or discolor the hair, taint the milk or 
blister or irritate the animal. 
Keep your dairy herd free from flies. The U. S. Department 
of Agriculture is behind the statement that flies can reduce 
the output of milk from 40% to 60%. (See Farmers’ Bulletin 
No. 1097). That is why you can’t afford to be without Bob 
White Fly Killer. 
Bob White Sure Death Fly Killer is patented. It is only sold 
by the name Bob White. A small quantity is all you will need 
to use because it is 100 % active.

Self-feeder; Use of Garbage 
Will you advise me about feeding 
growing pigs and brood sow from a self- 
feeder. With such pigs in a pasture lot 
with running water, not an abundance of 
pasture, and later if fed a lot of mixed 
garbage thrown in the field once per day, 
is it advisable to continue the self-feederV 
Will you give me the different feeds and 
grain recommended for growing pigs fed 
with self-feeder? n. N. c. 
New Jersey. 
It is doubtful whether your pigs will 
consume the garbage if they have free 
access to the self-feeder containing grains 
that are more palatable and more nutri¬ 
tious. Hence I should limit the use of 
the self-feeder to the brood sows aud pigs 
during tlieir nursing period. As soon as 
it is desired to feed them extensively 
from the garbage, thou the grain should 
be decreased proportionately. Under 
many conditions the self-feeder provides 
an extravagant and expensive system of 
feeding. Unless the feeders are carefully 
adjusted the pigs will satisfy their appe¬ 
tites and then root out and waste a lot 
of feed. Again, the hoppers are not gen¬ 
erously supplied with all of the necessary 
varieties, and as a result the pigs will 
eat extravagantly of some one of the 
more expensive feeds. Under average 
conditions four products should be sup¬ 
plied by means of the self-feeder—shelled 
corn, digester tankage, white middlings 
and some form of a mineral mixture. 
The middlings should he incorporated in 
the ration uutil the pigs weigh 75 lbs.. 
after which the corn and digester tankage 
can be relied upon exclusively to provide 
the necessary Iced. 
Much has been said about the use of 
the so-called semi-solid buttermilk or pow¬ 
dered milk in rations for growing pigs. 
It has been my observation that these 
products are an expensive source of pro- 
teiu at the prevailing prices, and while 
they do correct deficiencies and make 
corn and tankage combinations slightly 
more efficient, one cannot afford to feed 
I hem as a source of protein. If they are 
fed to the extent of 5 per cent of the 
combination they will serve to correct the 
deficiency, and this is about the extent to 
\sjiieh they should lie incorporated in 
rations for growing pigs. 
Naturally the feeding of collected gar¬ 
bage presents many problems. Pigs so 
fed should he immunized against cholera, 
for whore they have access to meat scraps 
and meat garbage they are very apt to 
contract cholera n«d other troublesome 
diseases. Keep the pigs growing and 
gaining all the time, and do not. rely ex¬ 
clusively upon the garbage to provide all 
of the daily ration. Some grain should ho 
hand fed in conjunction with the garbage 
if it is desired that the pigs put on an 
increased amount of weight in the short¬ 
est possible time at the least possible 
cost.

refilled. More important still, your corn is 
likely to be too green or too ripe when the 
hired crew arrives. In either case, the silage does not have full feeding 
value. With your own cutter, you can fill when the corn is just right to 
give you the highest quality of silage. The stock will clean up their silage 
closer and get more nourishment from it. Besides, there is a very consider¬ 
able saving in actual cash outlay. These tsavingfl taken together will pay
