At this time of year every dairymau
should make up his mind just what
crops are best to be grown on his farm
next summer. keeping in mind the
certainty of draught to lie met in
July or August. The short pasture
must be helped out with some kind of
grown crop so that the cows will not
shrink in milk yield. This can best be
done with corn stalks or green fodder.
but bear in mind that there is no profit
IN sowing corn broadcast. 1t grows
up thick in stand and slim in stalk and
filled with wind and water. The
cows like it just IS they like beer,
but it makes little milk, and is al
most sure to upset their bowls IN
other words it does about as much
harm as good. The only kind of corn
to feed is asstalk raised under natura I
conditions with plenty of room for air
and sunshine. and then it stores M
some nonrishment. In other and
palmer words whether you intend to
cut the corn TO help out the pasture, to
siio it, or to gather cane from it.. plant
1t just as You always have. You Will
get just about the same weight per
acre and far better quality. Another
crop to help out poor pasture is the
cow-pea that can be either cut or pas-
tured, and make a SPLENDID crop for
because il can be either
pastured. cut for hay. or allowed to
mature and the peas thrcshed out.
There is no better COW fecd.-Home
