Excerpt from The Silo and Silage A silo is simply an air-tight, water-tight box, in which green, succulent herbage may be placed and preserved as we preserve green fruit. It must not only preserve the contents from the air, but also protect against frost. Silage - ensilage is a less acceptable term for the same sub stance - is the material that has been preserved in the silo.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Treatise on Ensilage Rye and oats and wheat in many seasons are more valuable to a dairy farmer in the ensilaged state than in the grain. Six or seven acres of the heaviest can be put into a silo, 20 12 16 feet, containing about 100 tons. These crops as well as clover can be removed in time to plant maize. We find that 910 lbs of ensilaged maize is equal in nutriment to a barrel of corn meal. Southern Cow Pea makes a very nutritious fodder, of which cattle and horses are very fond. Horses will work well upon it when ensilaged, without any grain. It grows luxuriantly, and by the system of ensilage it becomes for all parts of the country a valuable product, which it is not practicable to cure in any other way. Southern planters say "that with ensilage they can produce cotton at 4 cts. lb. less cost than ever before, because it has cost more to keep a mule than a negro in these sections where grass does not grow." If this is so, the saving by ensilage in making 6,000,000 bales of cotton would be more than one hundred millions of dollars. The necessity of buying the seed from the South will of course benefit that section to that extent also; like clover, it is a great land improver, and a very cheap and profitable crop for fattening hogs. This pea, which is really a bean or lentil, is of value for shading out weeds. It is an excellent crop to plow under, as well as to feed green and for ensilage. Planted between rows of potatoes, it prevents the growth of weeds, and will cover the whole field with a crop of vines, shading the potatoes from sun-burn. It can then be mowed off and ensilaged, or fed green, or it can be pulled up, and the cattle will eat it roots and all. The seed matured makes a highly nutritious soup. There are different varieties, black, clay, white and black-eyed. I mention it here, as it is entirely unknown to many farmers, and I would advise them to investigate it. I shall probably publish a circular on the subject of Crops for Ensilage. Mr. Morris and Mr. Potter state that with ensilaged clover, and brewers grains, their cattle are kept in much better condition than with hay and same quantity of grains - and by careful experiments, they find that the yield of milk and butter is greater, and the butter is improved in flavor and color, than when fed in the dry state. The great saving by this system is in being able to allow the maize or other crop to reach its full maturity for this purpose; also in barn room and insurance. "Mr. Mills states that $500 tons of ensilaged-maize the past year cost him$500, that it has taken the place of $300 tons of hay that would have cost him or been worth$7, 500, and that his 120 head of cattle are in better condition than they would have been with the hay." Perhaps the best and most disinterested testimony as to the value of this system is the report of Prof. Cook, of New Jersey Agricultural Experiment station; he says: "It is claimed for ensilage that it makes winter butter equal to June butter, a claim willingly admitted, it being to our knowledge of unusually fine flavor and color. Milch cows can be safely fed large quantities of this fodder, which is a perfect substitute for hay. If it is of first class quality, eighty pounds per day will furnish an animal with the full amount of carbohydrates." The corn-plant is in perfect condition only a few days to each crop, and it is exceedingly important to cut it at precisely the right stage of growth.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Book on Silage The history of the silo dates back to antiquity. Ancient writers speak of the practice of burying grain in underground pits to save it for future use or to hide it from their enemies, and the evidence at hand goes to show that semi-barbaric peoples in the different parts of the world have known and practiced this method. Green forage was preserved in the same way in the early history of the races of Northern Europe, notably in Sweden and the Baltic provinces, where the uncertainty of the weather and the low summer temperature rendered difficult the proper curing of the hay. It was not, however, until toward the middle of the present century that the practice of preserving green fodder by means of pits in the ground became more known. The method was especially practiced in central Europe, where large quantities of green leaves and tops were available every fall in the sugar-beet districts; also green forage, such as Indian corn fodder, green clover, grass, etc., was treated by this method; the fodder being placed in pits ten to twelve feet square, or larger, and as many feet deep; these were often lined with wood, and puddled below and at the sides with clay. The fodder was spread evenly in the pits, and well trampled down; when the pit was full the whole was covered with boards and a layer of earth one to two feet thick; such pits would hold nearly ten tons when full.

Book Description
Excerpt from Corn for Ensilage and the Silo: A Paper Read Grisdale, B.Agr. Director, Dominion Experimental Farms. Corn for forage or ensilage corn can be grown to advantage in almost all parts of Canada at present occupied by farmers or stockmen. Results have not been satisfactory in every case where efforts have been made to grow it, but this has often been due to wrong cultural methods practised, or unsuitable varieties grown, rather than to adverse climatic peculiarities. Reasons For Growing Forage Corn. The reasons for growing or making an attempt to grow this forage crop wherever live stock are kept in any numbers are numerous and cogent. A few of them follow:1. As a plant capable of yielding a large amount of valuable forage under a great variety of soil and climatic conditions, corn is without an equal.2. When properly preserved, whether as ensilage or dried, it can be used as material to render other less palatable roughage more acceptable to farm animals.3. It is the best plant or crop for ensiloing that can be grown to advantage in Canada. It is practically a perfect crop for this purpose, hence it helps to solve the great problem of how to furnish an abundant and cheap supply of succulent food for winter or summer feeding of dairy or beef cattle.4. When properly grown and well preserved as ensilage, it is the equal of or superior to roots in feeding value and palatability. It can, however, generally speaking, be more cheaply grown and more easily preserved than roots.5. The labour of growing an acre of corn is of a character much more agreeable to perform and much less arduous than that of growing an acre of roots of any description.6. Corn being a cultivated or hoed crop, serves well to clean the land, that is, free it from weeds, so fitting it for grain growing, and putting it into shape to seed down to grass or hay.7. Corn is a gross feeder and may be depended upon to make good use of a never so abundant supply of plant food. It is, for this reason, particularly well adapted to occupy that place in the rotation where humifying vegetable matter and a fairly liberal supply of barnyard manure unite to supply large quantities of plant food suitable for root, leaf and stem growth rather than for seed production.8. The growing of corn on a fair proportion of arable land on the farm will permit of keeping more cattle, and so increase the revenue as well as augment the manure supply, so essential to the maintenance of soil fertility.9. Corn, when preserved as ensilage, can be stored much more cheaply in much less space than any other roughage. In addition, stored in this way it will keep inde2014814 About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
