The care used in plac ing thc corn or sorghum that was grown this summer In the silo will determine their food value, say the dairy specialists. Before starting to till the silo it is very important to soo that all the hoops of tlio silo aro in place and all rot toa staves or had joints or cracks have hoon sealed, and abm that tho doors Iii smoothly and tight. In or der lo insure a perfect (it of tho fi?ors it is advisablo to have avail able a roll ot' cheap roofing paper to he rna up 011 the door faring on tho inside, and thus insure the doors be ing air-tight. The next important stop to deter mine is the stage of maturity of Gio silage crop. Tho total amount of dry matter pud food nutrient in tho /dingo crop increases up until tho time of maturity. Therefore, it is important not to cut the silage crop too green, thus losing considerable j food value, and also producing an acid silage, which is not palatable. The stage of maturity at which corn is ready for the silo is when the grains aro (louted and glazed and tho hot tom loaves have turned brown. There is then usually some brown on tho shticks of the corn also, it is probably more important i that sorghum bo matured before har I vested for silage, since green sor ghum makes n very acid, unpalata ble sllago. The sorghum should be ripe enough lo make syrup. Tho next step to insure silage is to cut the corn or sorghum Into short lengths, which will pack well In tho sib). In order1 to cul those heavy! stalks into one-half or throo-quar-1 tors inch lengths it is necessary to koop the knives sharp. There sllO lld j he two sols of knives, so that ll will j not bo necessary to stop to hove tho knives sharponed at least twice per day. The packing of tho silage In the silo is a very Important operation. Tho only satisfactory way to do this packing is to koop two or three mon 111 tho silo continually packing while it is hoing lilied. Tho silage should ho forced against the walls of tho allonby pressure, keeping the center slightly higher than tho outer edges. 1 aching in thin way will exclude all air und proven) air pockots, which would cause llre-fnuglug or mould ing.
