it was impossible to see across tbe

SILO TRIP A
GREAT SUGCESS
Much Enthusiasm 8howii by Business
Men in the Silo Demonstra
tion Trip Today
Twelve auto loads of business men
and farmers went out this morning
on the first of the two silo booster
trips for this year. And twelve auto
loads returned in the evening well
satisfied with the work being done.
The first silo visited was that of
L. D. Blair. Mr. Blair's silo is of
the stave type and Is of 125 ton ca
pacity. It is built in bis large barn,
tbe door opening almost Into tbe
feed trough. 115 tons were put in
to the silo last year, and tbis lasted
from September to April 12 of this
year. Most of tbe time be uses sil
age Instead of grain, and be stated
that if the same amount of corn that
was put Into the silo, had been fed as
fodder it would not have lasted half
as long. The cost of the silo com
plete was $550.
After Mr. Blair had made a short
talk on his experience with silos and
silage and had answered a number
of questions regarding tbem, Prof.
J. C. Frandsen, head of the dairy
department of the University of Ne
braska, made a talk which was illus
trated with charts prepared by him
after careful observation of existing
conditions over the state. Prof.
Frandsen explained the need of a
slight variation of feed in order to
get tbe best results, and more espec
ially the lists of feed that come un
der the heads of proteins and car
bohyrates. Under the former list
he classes alfalfa hay, clover hay.
Pea hay. bran- oil mal cotton seed
ts. gluten meal and soy
ocans. ine 100a ncn in camony
rates he classes as corn, corn silage,
barley, oats, timothy hay, corn fod-
der, orchard grass, oats straw, car-
rots. uer beets and mangel wur-
'zels. To get tbe best results, he ex
plained, it Is necessary to use feed
that comes under both classes, that
is, carbohydrates must be used to
offset the effects of protelnous foods,
and corn silage.

telling of his experience Mr. Groves
Btated that tbe construction of bis
silo cost about $100. It is of 128
tons capacity, an l is 16 feet in diam-
eter and 31 feet deep. He said be
had not been troubled by gas in the.
bottom of the silo! but said that he
bad used too much water in the fill
ing, with the result that a small
amount In the bottom could not be
Used for all purposes. Mr. Groves
incidentally commented on the dif
ference in tbe number of business
men and tbe number of farmers
explained somewhat by tbe fact that
today has been favored by tbe weatb
er man, and most of tbe farmers
were taking advantage of it by work
ing In the fields. Mr. Groves owns
one of tbe finest dairy herds in tbis
part of tbe state, and considerable
time was taken up in viewing tbem,
and listening to Prof. Frandsen who
made a short but appreciated talk en
the selection of a dairy herd, and s
few remarks concerning tbe Holsteln
strain, of which Mr. Groves' herd Is
composed. Many of tbe visitors view
ed with interest the milk sheet which
is kept in tne up-10-aaie oarn. jl
record is kept of each cow's produc
tion, and at tbe end of each month
Mr. Groves can tell to one cent tb
profit or loss on every animal.
At 13 o'clock tbe crowd cam to
D. E. Purinton's place, to view his
pit silo and to eat dinner. His silo
Is almost completed, and will be us
ed this year. So far, be said, tbe
material had cost $22.50, and be has
performed all tbe labor himself. E.
G. Lalng decided tbe work was not
progressing fast enough, and decided
to go down and help out for a while.
After he bad descended, tbe ladder
was rawn up and could not be low

the pick, he decided tbe rock was a
little too hard and wanted on tbe
