a'T ni. THE M'HENBY PLA1NDEALER, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1925 • uip* i igwn JII ' • - DAIRY IMMATURE CORN IS GOOD FOB SILOING . W«f tber conditions such as hall, drought, or frost sometimes prevent corn from reaching maturity. Under inch circumstances the crop should be siloed, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Such corn should, if possible, be siloed with some that is mature. Silage from immature corn is sourer and more laxative than that from the mature crop. However, If proper care la exercised la feeding such silage, no 111 effects should result If frosted corn Is cat promptly, the •talks may contain enough water so that it may be siloed without the addition of water. If the corn has become too dry to pack well, considerable water will have to be added when siloing. The frosting of corn causes onfy a small loss in feeding valne, the greatest loss being occasioned by the falling off of leaves In handling and the possible spoiling of part of the silage owing to its fail ore to pack and keep properly. Sometimes there Is a delay In filling the silo, and It Is necessary to cut and shock the corn. Then again on other farms the silo capacity will not take care of the entire crop at one filling. This surplus corn has to be shocked and is available for refilling the silo later on. Such dry corn fodder may be siloed successfully, but It is necessary to wet It thoroughly so that It will pack well in the silo. Water may be added by allowing a stream from a hose to flow into the blower while filling. The surface of the cut material should alsd be sprinkled as It Is distributed in the silo. Corn fodder silage is less palatable and of somewhat lower value than corn siloed under the usual conditions. Owing to the large quantity of water required, siloing corn fodder is advisable OAljr on farms having a water system. Water Supply for Dairy Cows of Big Importance The milch cow, 'olr %U animals, requires an abundance of pure water. Water constitutes more than threefourths of the raw material used by the cow in the manufacture of milk. Stale or Impure water Is so distasteful to her that she will not drink a sufficient quantity for maximum milk production. Furthermore Impure water may impair the health of the cow. The water supply, therefore, demands the dairyman's most careful attention. During the winter, when cows are stabled.the greater part of the time, It Is important that they be watered at least two or three times a day unless water Is kept before them constantly. It is advisable to supply water to cows at a uniform temperature, preferably 15 to 20 degrees above the freezing point. When water stands In a tank on which ice often forms. It usually pays well to warm it slightly. This can be done by a tank heater, by live steam, or by hot water from a boiler. If a broiler Is used for running a separator or. for heating water to wash and sterilize utensils, steam from It can readily and cheaply be used to warm the water. solon mum Barley Is Nearly Equal to Corn for Dairy Cows Barley is a good feed for dairy cows and nearly equal to corn. Some feeders hold It is quite equal to com If It does not constitute more than 60 per cent of the meal portion of the ration. Corn is a very good feed. It Is low In lime, a little heavy, and for this reason should be lightened with some feed like bran and fed with some legume hay like clover or alfalfa for the purpose of supplying an adequate quantity of mineral substance. Bran is s good feed to use with either barley or corn, or both, because It Is bulky, has a slight laxative effect, and lightens the mixture. It lacks lime but It Is rich In phosphorus.
