caused a few Btccra to scour a little
the first few days, but this soon ceas-
ed and all remained in perfect health
during the remainder of the 4 1-2
months of the test.
The winter was tile coldest on record
nt the station, and the silage, which
was in a stave silo, often froze for a
distance of a foot to a foot and a half
from the wall, and this frozen silage
was fed with the rest. Hence the re-
sults obtained in tills extremely unfa-
vorable winter for silage should be con-
clusive in any season. Then, too, ow-
ing to freezing of their water, some of
the steers occasionally went IS hours
without water, this condition being

In Lot I each steer consumed 25

wliile in Lot II each steer consumed

Th* bulletin states that in order to
ke**p up th' fertility of his land, the
I't-nnsy-Iv.mia farmer has long found It
necessary to buy feeders on the Pitts-
burg cattle- market every fall, fatten |
■ theiu tor the mark*-t during the win-'

But the eash market value of hay.
and corn have increased so lapldly
dining lev'tit years, that many farm-
ers have Is-* ti tempted to sell these
Iiroducts direct iath* , tli.-m in eouv.-i-t
them into beef depending Upon green “■—*
manures and commercial f*-rtllizers to
keep up th'1 fertility of their fields.
Forni'-r testa at this and other sta-
tions having shown that the a*ldition |
of silage to th< ration of fattening
animals gives them better digestion,
sleeker coats, tend produces cheaper
and more rapid gains, th** experiments
of which this bulletin treats were un-
dertaken tor the purpose of ascertain-
ing to what extent silage may be used
in lieu of more i-xp* nsive feeds in a
beef-making ration.
Twenty-foui grad* Shorthorn and
Hereford st*' i s were purchased on the
Pittsburg market on Nov. Kith at $4.90
per 100 pounds To prepare them for
the test they were fed mixed hay, cot-
tonseed meal and corn silage till D*-c.
1, making an averag* gain of 33 1-3
pounds pet head, ap*l they had cost
at Hint date, including freight from
Pittsburg amt feed consumed, $5.07
per 1 <•(' pounds.
On 1)*'<- 1 these steers were divided
into two lots of 12 each, as nearly
a*imil in w*-ight and general merit as
possible, ami each lot was fed in a
shed open to tlie south but enclosed
on the other thri-e sides, and each had
access at will to an open lot of which
th*- shed formed th* north boundary.
Each lot was given all the corn si-
lage thee would consume and 2
meal per head
per day, tlie silage worth $2.50 per
ton taking tlie place of mixed
clover and timothy hay worth $12
a ton. Lot I was t*lso given three-
fourths of a full ration of broken car
corn from th*- beginning; while Lot H
were given no corn the first two
months Roth sheds were kept well
bedded at all times, and water was
always kept before them in galvaniz-
'd tanks. Hogs followed the steers
that were fed corn, to gather up the
