Live Stock Questions 
Answered by Prof. F. C. Minkler 
Poor Silage 
I have a silo about 12 by 30 ft. This 
year my corn was very poor and it froze 
before I put in silo. I had about 10 ft. 
in the silo. And it is not keeping well; 
so much of it is moldy. I am using about 
eight bushels a day. Can you give me 
the reason why it did not keep? I am 
thinking of planting corn. Soy beans, and 
sunflowers this Spring to put in silo. 
What do you think of this mixture? What 
proportion of each of these seeds shall 
I sow to the acre? I would like to know 
the names of the best kinds to sow for 
this section. F - 
Niagara Co., N. Y. 
It is evident from your letter that the 
reason why your .silage is not keeping is 
because the corn was frozen before it 
was ensiled. This condition would have 
a tendency to cause an excessive molding 
of the silage especially if no water were 
added to the frozen or dried corn at the 
time it was put into the silo. Of course 
nothing can be done at this time to meet 
the difficulty. You will have to pick it 
over and make the best of it, and next 
year profit by your experience. 
The only advantage in planting sun¬ 
flowers for silage is the fact that they 
mature in a .shorter growing season than 
corn. However, under conditions where 
corn will mature I think it is generally 
admitted that corn silage is preferable 
to sunflower silage and the yield per acre 
can be greater under average farm condi¬ 
tions. 
Where corn and Soy beans are grown 
for silage a better plan would be to grow 
the Soy beans in one area and the corn 
in another, and then harvest them at the 
same time and haul the loads of corn and 
the loads of Soy beans to the cutter at 
silo filling time. If on a weight basis 
four or five loads of corn will run into 
the silo to be followed by one load of 
Soy beans, which would provide a silo 
mixture which would best meet your con¬ 
ditions. Y'ou will find that when this 
combination comes out of the silo it will 
be attractive in color though darker than 
the ordinary corn silage. The Soy beans 
stimulate fermentation and often burn¬ 
ing ; lienee the discoloration as noted. 
Two varieties of Soy beans which would 
do well in your territory are the Ito San 
and the Wilson. Soy beans should be 
seeded at the rate of a bushel and a half 
per acre. 
Vealing Calves 
I wish advice in regard to vealing 
calves. I have Jersey cows and am try¬ 
ing to let the calves suck the cows but 
the milk seems too rich and they get sick 
with scours. Would it be better to milk 
the cows, dilute the milk with water and 
feed the calves? R - w - E * 
New York. 
It may be that better success will be 
had if you mother two calves ou each 
Jersey cow, so that less of the rich milk 
will be taken. If you cannot do that then 
milk the cow partially two or three times 
daily, at first, to lessen the amount of 
milk taken by the calf. The rich feed 
of the cow may also be reduced if there 
is a tendency to the calf scouring. W hen 
scouring starts give the calf a dose of 
castor oil in milk. One to three table- 
spoonsful will suffice, according to age 
and size and severity of the attack. In 
many cases further treatment will n&t be 
necessary, but should scouring persist 
give a mixture of one part of salol and 
two parts of subnitrate of bismuth, 
washed down with water or boiled milk. 
The dose is one-half to one teaspoonful, 
every three, four or six hours, according 
to age and size of calf and severity of at¬ 
tack. Larger calves may have to receive 
even larger doses and in obstinate cases 
it may be necessary to add a little tan¬ 
nin, or to try that drug without the 
others. The dose is one-half to one 
dram, or more, as found necessary, at in¬ 
tervals of four to six hours. It is a 
binding medicine so should not be given 
when one dose or more is seen to have 
“locked” the bowels. 
To prevent scours it is absolutely nec¬ 
essary to cleanse and disinfect the udder 
and teats of the cow before the calf is 
allowed to nurse for the first time and 
then to keep them clean. We also advise

B EFORE investing in an Ensilage Cutter, 
make sure it will give the results you 
want with the power you have. There are 
seven Blizzard Models—each will do most 
work per H.P. for its size. For use with light 
tractor power there are three Blizzard models: 
R-211 and R-133 mentioned above, and S-22 
with Dick’s Patented Double Feed. Vast 
capacity. All are real self-feeding models. 
Here’s the way Blizzard owners talk of their in¬ 
vestment. Paul Pritchard of Geneseo, Ill., says: "I 
like the Blizzard Cutter better than any cutter I 
know of. This is the second one I have used, and 
if I were to buy another it would be a Blizzard, fl 
My silo is 12 x 48— 130 tons. Use four bundle tj 
teams on short haul—one team on binder—and 
bundle conveyor—three men in silo—two men 
with cutter. Filling time 13 hours.”^«> 
Write for Booklet models — from small 
L-18used with 3 Si H.P. to giant S-91 with 35-ton 
an hour capacity; also “Famous” Feed Cutters— 
50 years the leaders for hand and power operation. 
For superior quality of machine itself and work 
done, invest in a Blizzard. The booklet tells why.
