Description
Excerpt from Silos and Ensilage: The Preservation of Fodder Corn and Other Green Fodder Crops
The method of preserving green crops, especially those of fodder corn, by means of ensilage, is one that the wide-awake farmer of the present day can not afford to ignore. The experiments already made in this country show that this method of preserving green crops must, it may be in an Americanized form, be adopted as a part of our system of agriculture. The farmer who looks for information on this subject finds it scattered through the various agricultural journals, or in works which are ostensibly upon Ensilage, but often largely devoted to advertising other matters.
To bring together the facts concerning Ensilage that are really important to the farmer, scattered through the journals and elsewhere, and to present them in a compact form, divested of all irrelevant matter, is the object of the present work, which claims only to be a compilation. In the earlier chapters the leading points are presented, and these are illustrated by such accounts of individual experience as seem most appropriate.
In a compilation like the present, any omission to give credit must be regarded as accidental rather than intentional.
That this little work may be of aid to those seeking information on the subject of ensilage is the wish of The Editor.
