THE~VALUE OF SILAGE OP GREAT IMPORTANCE IN ECONOMIC PRO­ DUCTION OFJM&K Too large a proportion of farmers are keeping cows and trying to pro­ duce milk profitably from the wron;,r kinds of feeds. There ate several causes for this, the chief one being the lack of appreciation for the value of good silage as a food for milk produc­ tion. Silage has been known as a food for all kinds of livestock for many hun­ dreds of years.and gradually its use has become more general until at the pre s­ ent the silo is a structure commonly seen in all livestock centers, especially where dairying is carried on exten- tively. GIVE HIM YOUR?VOTE NEXT MONDAY Judge Charles H. Donnelly of the workmen in the side broke two of his ribs. Mrs. Ryan, who lived on the east side of the river, died on Thursday night and was buried from the Catho­ lic church on Saturday. She has been a great sufferer for the past year and death came as a relief. Children's day will be observed at the M. E. church, in this village, on Sunday next, June 8, by the regular church service in the morning, and a Sunday school concert in the evening, each service being made appropriate to the occasion. Our public school will close on Fri­ day neixt. There will be exercises at the school house in the forenoon and in the afternoon the teachers and scholars will have a picnic at McCollum's lake, to which the patrons of the school are cordially invited. It is to be hoped that as many as can will come out and help to enjoy an afternoon on the banks of the lake. Died in this village, on Saturday evening, May 31, 1890, Ellen, youngest child of Mrs. C. V. Stevens, aged about five years. The death of this little girl is a peculiarly sad one, following as it does so closely the death of her father, and the ijeart- stricken mother, brothers and sisters have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their great sorrow. ^ . - • ' Died at the residence of her parents, east of this village, May 28, 1890, Ada, daughter of John F. and Mercy Claxton, aged sixteen months and fifteen days. Among the friends who are heart- stricken over their loss are father and mother and a large circle of relatives and friends. The funeral services were observed on Thursday at the M. E. church at two o'clock and the re­ mains laid to rest in Woodland ceme­ tery. A sad accident happened at Pistakee lake on Monday, which resulted in the drowning of the one year old child of John Scoville, and the narrow escape of Mr. and Mrs. Scoville themselves. It appears they started to cross the Lake in a row boat, when it tilled with water and sunk, leaving Mr. and Mrs. Scoville and the child in the water, and before they were rescued the child was drowned in its mothers arms, while the father and mother were so nearly exhausted as to be almost un­ able to speak. It was indeed a wonder that any were saved. The memorial services under the auspices of McHenry Post , G. A. R., on Friday last, were of the most inter­ esting character, and drew out a large attendance from the village and sur­ rounding country. The mucic by the Ringwood band was fine, the singing by the choir and quartette was excel­ lent and the address by the Rev. Wm. Niokle was one of the finest we ever listened to. Nothing we can say will half do it justice. It should have been heard to be appreciated. Time and space will not permit us to give as ex­ tended a notice of tiie exercises as we would wish. j We have had occasion several times to speak of actsof vandalism committed at the cemetery, and had hoped that it had ceased, but now we learn that the tombstones are being used as targets for guns and pistols, and are being The practically universal adoption of silage as a feed for all kinds of live­ stock has more recently taken place and the many satisfied users every­ where, who speak highJy of it as one of the most economical feeds they can use and that they would never attempt to get along without it, is conclusive evidence that there are^ no harmful effects from its use, that it is one of the cheapest and best feeds that can be used and that its healthful effects are equalled by no other feed except alfalfa. When fed with alfalfa the two make the best .combination of feeds that can possibly be gotten together and the aim of every livestock farmer should be to have plenty of alfalfa and silage to feed thruout the year, the use of pasture .gradually being done away with.. In order to obtain best re-* suits silage should be feed with other feeds, such as clover, alfalfa, cotton seed meal, gluten feed and malt, as it is not eC complete and balanced ration of itself and a-few unsatisfactory re suits have been obtained because it was not combined with other feeds that supply the necessary nutrients it lacks to make it a balanced ration. Corn furnishes a large amount of feed to the acre and with the silo the whole crop can be utilized for feeding purposes, the grain as well as the stock being preserved in the best possible condition for feeding and without the extra cost of grinding. The succulence of the silage is worth a great deal and produces a beneficial effect on the health of the cow. Such statements as the at^d of the silage affecting the teeth or the stomachs of the animals being untrue. Silage makes possible more uniform feeding thruout the year and it may be available at any time, as it can be kept in perfect condition for several years. By the use of the silp the corn is cut before the leaves are dry enough to shatter and there is no waste from weathering. Both stalk and grain are in gopd condition abd the whole crop is consumed by^ie stock, while with dry sfaock corn aiargfe percentage of the leaves and butts of the stalk is wasted. At least 10 per cent of the food value of corn is lost under the best conditions of harvesting in the shock and under ordinary conditions the loss is from 25 to 35%. This loss no farmer can afford year after year and one of the strongest arguments in favor of the silo is that this loss can be prevented by putting the corn crop in the silo at a time whep it contains its highest percen­ tage of nutrients and kept there with­ out loss until ready for use. The silo is a paying proposition, even if evepy cent of the money must be borrowed in order to pay for it. It will pay for itself in a short time and the many other advantages it offers makes it of such great value to every livestock farmer that he simply cannot afford to be without one an£ the longer be puts it off the greater his losses will be. . The kind of silo is important, the more permanent types, such as cement, brick and tile being the' most satisfac­ tory. They are a little more costly, but will stand the weather better, are less apt to blow down and keep the silage just as well if not better than the cheaper types. The statements tha the acid of the silage will attack th1 • * I >.#/>* •• •'Jlllil®' Monday, June 7* 1915: v&r * I CHARLES H. DONMELLYMf I ~--*y <s) ! ABTHUC H. FROST fl/jVwaAIBE C.'EDWARDS* !
