Lost One Cow and Others Made III By Ensilage.

Ray Harris, who lives on A. H. Hopkins’ Union township farm, /lost one cow a day or two ago and had others made ill by ensilage. It' was no fault of the feed, however, as other stock was thriving on it. The stock that was affected was recently shipped in from Chicago and bad largely came from Michigan. It had been fed on dry feed and not very good feed at that and when turned loose on silage the food proved ton rich and one cow died and it looked as though serious trouble Would result to all of the shipped in stock, about twenty head. The trouble was ascertained, however, and the cattle will be given the silage in gradually increasing rations and no more fatalities are expected.
