I say prejudice because I believe that in most cases they have never 'given it a trial. About six years ago we decided to experiment with` ensilage. yecon- sulted our veterinary, who advised against it, saying that. thle stuff was not fit to feed a horse. We, however, spent the greater part of the winter experimenting with different rations with ensilage as the base. We tried atfirst feeding it once a day, at noon, and found that the horses not only ate it with a relish, but seemed to do well on t. We then began . feeding the ration in` the morning, and at, noon, and were really surprised at. the results. With the. ensilage we fedwe, cut: wheat or eat straw, and 'used for the! grain ration .a mixture ofground' corn, oats, and, wheat bran, mixed in equal parts. Qur method of pre- paring and feeding this ration was as . follows: In the ,first place we did not 'fill our. silo' '• until the corn was . pretty well 'ripened, in order that the en= silage would be -quite free from acid We put an abundance with the corn, which helped in pack.. ing, and made the ensilage quite ' moist when it was ready to SII.
