Silage And Its Complements
By Dr. A. M. Soule.
In tho winter feeding of live .stock it in essential that an abundance of
Home (heap rnuuhno-e be • applied. Winter pastures of various kinds
have been recommended for this purpose and they are valuable to a cer
tain extent, hut in a dry autumn they may make comparatively little de
velopment, and in a severe winter the growth Is unsatisfactory. So it
happens ihai in nine years out of ten the farmer is pul to it to tlnd suitable
substitute -for gra i So much has been said and written about slluge that
one would upposo that every one 1h familiar with this topic, but such la
rot ihe case
Not long Ineo a man credited with some especial agricultural knowledge
asked the writer nt'ior a discussion in which this material was mentioned
Just what a silo might be and what silage was like This man was re
garded In his community ns a very practical and successful farmer, and
no doubt ids knowledge and experience along certain lines were extensive,
lnt were lie to attempt the Institution of a live stock proposition he would
have failed iKiunniniously because he was not even acquainted with the
(first principles of the business
Silage may be made from a number of crops familiar to southern farmers.
Corn and sorghum with various legume used singly or in combination will
enable the fanner to fill his silo economically with the choicest of materials.
Corn should be put Into the silo when the lower leaves begin to "tire up”
•i little Sorghum should not be put in until It is virtually matured, and
legumes when they are In the best condition to cut for hay. These green
foods when run Into an air tight structure and compacted will keep for a
long p< : lod of time, certainly for twelve months, if not put in the silo
when too green the product will be wholesome and sweet with a very
enticing odet and a degree of pnlatability for ruminating animals, which
cut tt with gtoat relish, thrive on it satisfactorily, and when it is properly
combined with coi.ccntrates yield an abundant supply of milk or put
on n do trabio Increase in live weight. An acre of land of reasonable fer
tility « p moo eight tons of silage, and under very favorable conditions
u-> much a- twelve to tltloou tons. Silage ts an admirable substitute for
gin and ci.tile can be maintained on It as cheaply as on pastures.
The - is a comparatively small structure at best. It may be lti feet
In dt • or l-y ,;o in height and have a capacity for holding HO to 150 'ons
of gie n led li has a continuous door up one side and may be built of
lenient ot wood It will cost probably $350.00 to $400.00 to build such a
at i noture With a -u!>. tilled it makes little* difference whether the pas
tun-:- hold out in the fall or come early In the spring Trouble ami ex
pense need not be devoted to the establishment of cereal pastures because
the !o will :-upp > an adequate substitute for them at a reasonable cost
It las been c matt«d that ullage can be pul up at a cost ot about $3.60
per ton
ltecau o of its luecuh-tice silage Is cooling and soothing to the digestive
Fystetn and helps to kc. p the animal' - circulation in good condition, thus
promoting health t. id bodily vigor Forty pounds of silage would be a fair
ration for a 1,000-pound m anal. Some will consume more and some less
Vung aninut ■ should be ted in proportion to their body weight. Only a
limited amount of -ilage can be fed with satisfaction to horses and mules,
and it is not adap'ed for feeding to hogs. The best results from the use
of silage will come when it is fed In combination with a little dry rough
ness For t'i- purpose shredded corn -lover, cotton seed hulls and other
mughne- available on the average farm may be utilized About five to
tin pounds of dry rouenne should be fed with silage. The deficiency of
thi- material in protein makes it essential that it be fed in Combination
■with some sub 'unci rich in this element. For this purpose there is noth
ing superior to cot;on -cod meal In the south. For dairy cows a ration
■x'f silage and meal cannot he surpassed.. For the maintenance of stockers
and for cattle to be finished in the stall the initial ration should be silage
und cotton . ecd meal, w ith later the addition of a small amount of corn,
say one third of the grain ration From tout to five pounds of meal should
be fed to an average sized dairy cow, and front five to seven pounds to a
1,000 to 1.300 pound steer, depending on the length of the feeding period.
Where cotton seed meal and silage and one of the roughnesses men
tioned above are ci rnbiued tegetbi i, the largest and most economic gains
with beef cattle will bo made, they will staud shipment satisfactorily and
kill out .-.ti unusually cbou-e quality of edible meat A ration of cotton
seed in.-at and si age is so highly pnzed now that It ts extensively fed all
through the corn belt \\ here tt has been used In the south It has gtveu
eminent satisfaction as to rute and economy of gains The si!u places
the southern farmer on a footing where be can compete In the manufacture
of beef and dairy products with the feeders aud breeders tn any other
part of the United Stales.

Despite the Toombs County
Fair, which affected our attend
ance this last week, several class
es approached 100 per cent. The
third grade, however, is entitled
to both banners, their attendance
being perfect with the exception
of one-half day absence, and
punctuality being perfect, as was
also the seventh grade.
Berner Tingle is spending the
week-end with his parents near
Dublin.
We have enrolled new pupils
as follows: Miss Avis Wynn of
Wheeler county, Miss Naomi
Mishoe of Soperton, and Mr.
Raymond Gilbert.
Several of the rooms had a
pleasant visit from one of our
Mt Vernon friends. We wish
others would do the same. Our
company manners are almost
used up, looking for the trustees
and superintendent
Mr J 0 Martin has the name
of conducting a live institute
Let us not confine the benefits
just to the teachers. We would
like to have a crowd of patrons
and friends every day Oct. 26
is the day the Institute opens
The public term of the school
opens also on the 26th The aim
is to enroll every child of school
age The teachers will do their
best for these pupils who did not
enter at the beginning of the
term Surely there are not those
in our district to whom the com
pulsory education law will apply
when we get it We have the
room and the teaching force—all
we need is the boys and girls.
Our superintendent would be so
glad to report every child in
school.
Now, that library plan: Sixty
books, the average price of which
is fifty cents, will be on sale in
Mt. Vernon and Ailey. In each
one will be a tag saying by whom
the book is presented to the
Grammar School of Brewton-Par
ker Institute We want our friends
to buy for us every one of the
books The teachers have selected
about ten for each room, which
we hope to be a great help to
them as well as to the pupils,
and which will be a fairly good
beginning on a library If you
good people will buy this S3O 00
worth, we know how and where
we can get S3O 00 worth again
Some of the books are worth only
25c, and some are worth $1 40;
the average price is 50 cents
Buy a book!
The work of the Literary Soci
eties is still very gratifying. E]ach
member seems to strive to make
his number one of the best. The
debates show that time and
thought are given them, as they
are very good indeed and many
of them are rendered without
notes.
We know that every one in
this section is interested in the
Laboratory, because of the move
ment bugun this summer to im
prove the Science Department in
our school. We wish to inform
the community that the work is
near completion, the apparatus
having been installed the past
week. We thank every one for
their interest manifested, and
expect to give them the best
year’s work known to the 8.-P. I.
The 8.-P. I. football team met
that of Statesboro at Lyons on
Friday last and came away vic
tors. The score was IS to 0. We
consider our opponents worthy,
and while their team is heavier
than ours, they could not win
the laurels. We received fair
treatment in every way from our
opponents, but they think they
have our number now, still we
propose to play good football.
We were accorded every courtesy
by the Fair Association, and the
afternoon was altogether a pleas
ant one.
