The dairymen and ?eeders of beet cattle in this State are realizing more and more the economical valjue In silage as a food. If you keep dairy 'cows or beef cattle and have not a I silo, then you should make an effort to build one this season so (hat it can he filled In the fall for wlntei feeding. No person having as many as ten cows can afford to do without I a silo. ! What is a silo? A silo is a tank [or pit, preferably round, with nlr.tlyht j walls, in which green and succulent I feed can be preserved in a slightly fonmented condition for future use. ' Silage is one of the best and most eco. I nomlcal bulky or rough feeds for cat tle. A number of the dairymen are now paying $10.00 a ton for cotton seed hulls when they might have pro duced silage for $1JiO to $:!.T,o a ton, This includes the entire expenditures for the crop from the time yon begin cultivating the land until the silage is stored in the silo. The cost of sil age depends largely upon the quantity j of corn or soghtim that you can grow j to the acre. Some people in tills State have produced as much as ft tons of SllagO to the acre, while others have not made more than three tons to the i acre. Three tons to the acre, however. Is an exceptionally low production. Experiments have shown thai by the use of silage dairymen have gotten one-third more milk at one.third loss cost than where hulls were used. We are prepared to give you personal as ! sistanee in the construction of a silo as Well as advise regarding the grow I ing, cutting and feeding of a crop for silage. A silo can he put up with your own farm labor,. If you begin work on a silo this spring, or early in the summer, personal assistance can be given to more people than if you wait until August or September. A bulle tin on ' S.I08 and Silage'' wll be ready for distribution at an early date. For further information along this line address the Animal Husbandry and Dairy Division, Clemson Agricultural College, S. C. Card of Thanks. We take this method of extending our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to our many friends who were so good and kind to us, in our greatest trial and loss of our dear husband and father. They will never know how much we appreciate their loving sym pathies. May He that dooth all things well he with them all. Mrs. 11. Y. Simmons and Children.
