Mr. Wilson, who has been a dairyman for thirty-five years, spoke 
straight, and he spoke from practical experience when he said that he had never 
made dairying pay until he made ensilage pits. The above remarks on saving 
feed during good seasons apply equally to us in Queensland. Some years ago 
the writer was compelled to sell a herd of milkers at 15s. a head during a 
drought, simply because in those days he had never heard of ensilage; and 
although the previous season had been a fair one, when the drought came there 
was not a blade of grass nor a lock of hay to feed to the cows, whilst the pigs 
were kept alive on the pulpy inside of bottle-trees—Hditor.
