FARM TALK
Subjects of Interest and Importance to Farmers,
Dairyists and Stockmen of the Western Dakotas
Contributions to these Column* will gladly be in»erted.
Alfalfa bas a Big Future in tbe Western Dakotas.
Believes in Alfalla.
Frank Schroeder, of Seltna: You
newspaper men, I see, are getting ex
cited over alfalfa. Well, even if we
farmers know more in a minute than
.vou can write in an hour, I am glad to
^ay that I am somethingof an enthus
iast over alfalfa myself. Some day
when I have time. I'll write up the
whole story of my experience myself,
but will ask you to let people know
briefly what my experience has been.
In the first place find that after the
ground has been thoroughly tilled,
that seed should not he seeded too
thick. Seed houses will t*ll yon. to
^eed 10 or 20 or more pounds to the
acre. Don't you do it, don't listen to
them I seeded «pounds per acre, and
tnd that too thick. This year I'm go
ng to seed less than 5 (Kunds. The
dants must have room to develop.
Then I've found out that both from u
business standpoint and for the good
•if the young alfalfa there must be a
nurse crop, barley, flax or oats.
Where there is nothing else, nature
'rows weeds, and of all the weeds the
worst for the young alfalfa plants is
that pest the pusley, which spreads
over the ground and chokes the young
growth.
Then I have found out that you can
not pack the ground too hard after
seeding—the harder, the more healthy
the growth. My cattle showed me that,
by trampling down that part of last
year's lield where the alfalfa shows
best.
1 have't yet scored any big success
es, hut I am going: to spend a lot of
time and money until I have made good,
I believe ill alfalfa and in the ability
of this country to grow It.
Timely Talk on Silos
That the farmers of Codington coUnty
ire deeply interested in the sibject of
silo and silage was manifested by the
large attendance at the meeting held
in this city Saturday afternoon in the
rooms of the Business Men's union at
the city hail building, when over 300
were present at the silo meeting ar
ranged for by the Watertown Grange.
It was a gathering of representative
farmers and prominent, bustnass and
professional men who are interested
in the important subject that is being
so much talked of and investigated
these days, and when Mayor Martin
called the meeting to order it was
necessary to throw open the council
chamber in order to accommodate the
large attendance. The mayor in a few
remarks introduced Mr. C. E. Winn
of Castlewood, the principal speaker
at the meeting, who is a well known
dairyman and faucy live stock breed
er of Hamlin countv, and who is mak
ing a success of the silo.
Close Attention Given.
Mr. Winn's remarks were listened
to with close attention. He started
out by explaining the importance ol
proper!v tilling the silo, at the right
time, just when the corn has glazed or
dented. Add water if too ripe, or
frozen or dried He said that the aver
age farmer loses one eighth of the
weight of his steers during the winter
because of not using silage, which is
the
chea|estfood
that can be obtained,
adding that wherever one silo is built
others follow rapidly. "The half ot
the benefits of silos have never been
told even by silo •gents," said Mr.
Winn.
Goiug on with his address he said
that silage is a great help to digestion
and stock fed on it will eat more rough
age, and a silo wi'l soon pay for it
self. Without a silo at least 37 «-2
per cent of the corn feed is lost Any
lilo must b^ correctly built and prop
erly taken care of. From cx-tober 25
to September 1 of the year following
lie fed 2!H) tons to from lifty to seventj
ive head of cattle, gotten from sixty
acres of corn. The same corn that is
best to get ripe in your own locality
is the best to plant for silo. The aver
age cow will eat about two baskets of
silage (forty pounds) a day, and no
bad results will follow if fed after milk
ing. The actual cost of feeding a cow
milage is about 3 1-2 to 4 cents per day.
To FiP the Silo.
In tilling the xilo. I»e sure to eat$
fully till it evenly and trainp thor
oughly. Keep the leaves evenly dis
tributed among the stocks and have
the silage wet enough by using water,
and use plenty of it- The results of
silage or dry shocked corn is at least
double in favor of the silage. A 20x30
silo will keep about 25 cows for ten
months. A lfi-horseengine will handle
about twelve acres of corn per day.
and the silage should be cut about
ona-half inch long, *ni abould run
about six tons of silage to the acre.
If drilled in use about one peck to the
acre and if checked plant five to six
kernels per hill. You will get smaller
ears but more of them.
Mr. Winn said that frosted corn
will make good silage if wet enough
with water when put in. but it should
be allowed to dry a few days after
freezing before putting it in the silo.
Fie said that frosted corn was better
than too green corn, as green corn will
sour, and that a silo partly used in
one season could be re-tilled by simply
taking off about four to eight inches
of the silage on top which will he
spoiled. The top of the silage in the
silo may be exposed about three days
before spoiling.
Proper Way to Build.
In concluding, Mr. Winn said that
a silo should always be built round,
and if properly taken care of a wood
en silo ought to last about twenty-five
years. A roof will greatly strengthen
the silo, but it was not necessaj-y for
the benelit of the silage.
Short talks were made by representa
tives of various silo manufacturing
concerns, and also by John !?. Hanten
and I*. L. Hetts of this city, the latter
on the subject of the effect of feeding
silage on milk and cream. Sam Dean
of Kampeska also made a brief ta Ik.
After tendering a vote of thanks to
Mr. Winn for his able and interesting
address, and also to the Watertown
Grange for the success of the meeting,
and to the Business Men's union for
the use of the rooms, the meeting ad
journed.— Watei town Opinion.
