In- stances are on record where silage made 12 to 14 years before has been found to be of excellent quality. Tho the conversion of sugar into acids is the chief change in good silage, a considerable part of the protein is also broken down into amino acids. Since this splitting of the protein into simpler compounds is similar to digestion in the ani- mal, it probably does not lessen the nutritive Fig. 58.—Silos have Revolutionized Stock Feeding in Many Districts The silo provides high-quality succulent feed for any season of the year, with a low expense for labor and a minimum wastage of nutrients. Advantages of silage.—The widespread use of the silo for the preservation of forage is easily explained when we consider the ad- vantages this system offers, the more important of which are: 1. At a low expense silage furnishes high-quality succulent feed for any desired season of the year. The cost of silage per ton will vary widely, depending on the price of labor, the yield of forage per acre, and the rent of the land. However, when average yields are secured the cost of corn silage should not be over $ to $ per.
