Silage made from grasses is similar to corn silage in pro- tein content, while straight lg. gums silage may rnnmin from two to three times as much protein 3! Rood corn silage.

As grass silage is not high in T

D. N. grain must be fed to main. tain heavy milk production or to

fatten cattle. When good grass 51-

lrlge made from legumes or heavy legume grass mixtures if fed as the only roughage or with good quality hay made from the some crops, the grain ration may be made up entire- ly of farm grains. Rations of cows on all home grown feeds may be a llttrie low in phosphorous. Allowing cows free acceu to home meal 0;- mlxlng one per cent in the grain mixture'will take care of any de-

ficiencies of this mineral. Silage may replace all the hay in the ration if desired. If so or if

hay is fed very lightly it would be well to mix 2. to 1 lb. of irrodlated I yeast per ton of grain to insure;

enough vitamin D. Vitamin D is

very important for young stock.

Cows like some dry roughage and will consume more total dry matter if hay is fed with the silage. The more roughage consumed the less

fed to meet the reqlliromellts of the cow. Grass silage should not be called the equivalent of summer grass but it is an excel- lent feed and as such can fill a very important. place in the winter ration of cattle.

If you plan to feed grass silage heavily do it shortly after the morning or evening miikinge. Cows eat grass silage slowlv and must

he allowed adequate time (llwo to four hours) to consume heavy

feeds. All silage shouirl be cleaned out of the stable some time before milking to prevent off-fiavoy in the milk. Observations No matter what type of silo is used

there are several important points

to remember In maloing good qual- ity silage. These are -

I. Cut early. .'l5 the tinloihv is. heading out. for i.'TP'iIPSI. y.elds of!

digestible dry matter. 2. Put in at the proper moisture

contellt-'7t'l'”'r. Be careful not to

overwilt. it is better to have the forage too wet than too dry.

3, Pack thoroughly while filling for 5-7 days after filling is com- pleted.
