The Old and New Plan.
At n meeting Of the IIorsham Far
mers' Club. in lIatjoro,' Pa, Mr.. Mat
tison, Of New Hope. in his address on
Farm Economics" SAID: The old
plan Of dairying was this The COWS
we're fresh in the spring. were turned
out to pasture as soon as there was a
spear Of grass to he fou NJ, and we're
kept upon grass until the ground was
covered with snow. The reason Of this,
farmers said. was the grass cost nothing;
it greE itself Under these conditions
the cows gave lots IF milk in May and
June, less in July. did pretty we'll in
August and September, in the fall
wound up business for that year with
A credit Of from 100 to l50 pounds Of
butter, Or, at most, l,5O0quarts Of milk
apiece
Thus, 10 or II COWS pastured off a
bout 10 acres Of grass in May and June
which would have made - tons of hay
worth at least $500, and the whole a
mount Of milk in that time would not
bring 800 The COWS Of my dairy are
mostly fresh in the fall, and are fed
heavily all winter, stabbed in a warm
place % hours out Of Il, and are fed
With foods that make more feed and
odder. We do not feed the COWS much
lay, but use cut fodder Of oat straw |
Ind second crop, with about II or II
Iuarts Of grain a day. This is enough !
0 keep them milking in winter, and we I,
ave the best hay to sell.
'In the spring they are not turned |
mt on twenty-acre fell, for we want |
0 NOW that and sell the hay, so we
'asture them upon a small lot O., two
obtaining three or four acres, and still
eed them grain and nov grass for
hem. After harvest they are fed sound
Orn and grain with pasture and the
esult IS about 250 pounds of butter, or
300 pounds Of milk apiece a year,
nth no more cOst than the other plan,
xcept more labor, for the extra hay on
ne ten acres not pastured will bay the
xtra feed. With this system the cows
lust be fed properly. One cannot 20
long and throw in big COWS, little COWS,
