The corn slIage has twice as much
water as the pea-and-oat silage With
only 20 pounds of dry matter to the
hundred weight, the amount Of the diff
ferent nutrients Is, of course, much
less in the corn than in the pea-and-oat
silage, the latter being GO per cent dry
matter. This dry matter contains nearly
IA per cent of protein against only per
cent in the dry matter of corn silage,
so that with three times as much dry
matter in the pea-and-oat silage the
table shows that 100 pounds of 1t con-
tains nearly four times as much pro-
tein as does the corn silage Hence
the former makes up what the corn
lacks, and the two different kinds of
silage together make a pretty COM
plete feed. Mr.. Dyer still further bal
anced up or enriched the pasture by
feeding damaged wheat which con-
tanned a still larger proportion of pro-

fit OF this ration. Farmers should try

as ensilage. Farm and Home.

How TO Get at the Real Source of Income

Dairving for glory has never been
popular pastime, and it Is not likely TO
be engaged in to any great extent.
Hope of profit is the alluring influence
in this, as in any other productive in
Gustry The objective point of every
dairyman should be TO produce the
most possible OF the best possible arti-
Gle, at the least practicable cost, to be
sold at the highest obtainable prices.
There is no poetry in this view of the
business, but there is a vast deal of
common sense in it. This being the
end in view, thaJ dairyman who pays
NJ attention TO the productive capacity
of his stock. whose cows are bought
with an eye TO what they cost and with
no reference to what they can do, who
ignores the whole subject of what and
how much he markets, who shuts his
eyes 10 all sorts Of information re-
speeding his business-whose manage
ment IN short, is slipshod and in every
essential uncertain-fails to get at the
real source of profit in his industry.
Every point needs 10 be carefully stud
led, everything which can be made to
contribute to success utilized. It is
better 10 abandon the business than
conduct il on any other plan Farmers
