APE RENT DAIRY Fill the Silo It is rumored that here and there are occasional ones who plan to let their silos stand idle this winter. The conclusion has been reached that feeds are too high to justify the keeping of livestock. Evidently the plan is to rid the farm of meat and milk producing, animals as soon as pasture season is over aud sell the feeds raised this year. This is shortsightedness, to say the least, as is evidenced by the recent drops in the prices of farm grains and the increases that have taken place in prices of dairy ducts.

If the corn, which represents per cent of the crop, is worth a given price for others to buy and feed, it is then, together with the stalk, leaves and shucks, which represent 40 per cent of the crop, worth just as much to the man who raised it. When conditions have finally readjusted themselves it will be very apparent that he who owns a silo and fails to fill it this fall will have made a serious mistake. The world needs animals and their products as much as it ever did and the demand is greater in proportion to the supply than it ever was. Such a condition points to but one logical conclusion and that is, "it is but the part of wisdom to conserve and improve upon our flocks and herds." The possessor of a silo can do this more cheaply than any other. This is the year, therefore, to pack every ounce of green corn in the silo that is possible, and feed it as judiciously as it can be fed this winter.
