"Soft frosted corn is an inferior feed. In late seasons it is best to let corn stand until after the frost than ensile it too green, for a satisfactory silage can be secured from frosted corn and the crop may mature to a considerable extent before a severe frost comes. If the crop is killed by frost, it should either be ensiled quickly or shocked tightly to preserve it from the weather. If shocked properly, it will keep in good condition until after the fir&t of the year and can be used to refill the silo after it is emptied ths first or second "One of the nevest and most sucr cessf ut methods of silofng is to snap the ears and ensile them alone, witli husks. This makes a concentrated .'eed and permits a sma'l rilo capacity to care for a large acreage of frosted corn. In either case it is advisable always to add water, if necessary, to bring up the moisture content to 60 or 75 per cent to make good silage," according to the creamery institute.
