FORAGE CROPS.
How They Can Be Used At a Decided
Profit

All farmers on small or moderately
sized holdings who keep live stock
should also grow forage crops in ad-
dition to their grass pastures. since
they so much reduce the area required
for the latter. AS a rule, the necessity
for growing these crops will increase
with the less favorable conditions for
growing grass pastures and vice versa.
When farmers generally who live
upon arabic lands give that attention
to the growing of this class of forage
crops which they ought to, from the
standpoint of self interest, no limit
can be set to the possible increase
in live stock and live stock products.
More especially will this be true when
they give that attention also to the
growing of soiling and fodder which
their Importance demands. In those
encouraging days that are drawing
near, the production in these lines
that will be obtained from the small
areas would aStOniSh many of the far
mers of to-day. And the increase will
no less apply to the quantity than to
the quality of the product, because of
the suitable character of the food fur
nished, because of it's seasonableness
and because of its abundance.
When nearly 100 sheep can be pas
Jured from the closing days of April
to the opening days of Novmber on ten
acres OF such forage, as has been done
at the Minnesota University expert
ment farm, the possibilities in live
stock production light up with a pecul-
lar brightness. When it is remem-
bered that the soil was sandy, that the
subsoil was sand or gravel or a mix
ture OF the two, that the land had been
but feebly fertilized, the brightness
grows more radiant. And when it is
called to mind that ten tons Of cured
fodder and ten tons of soiling food
were also taken from the same ten
acres during the growing period, and
that much used forage was ploughed
under as green manure, the armament
OF possible production becomes all
ablaze with promise. The first to look
at those happy indics tons will prob
f5ly be the first to engage in growing
stead crops.-New England Home.

Water For Cows.

How many dairymen appreciate the
amount of water their COWS need,
both to digest their food and to furnish
that needed for their milk supply? A
COW cannot work over her food nor
supply milk without water and plenty
of it. 1t takes four pounds or half a
gallon of water for every pound OF
dry matter in the food; this means
nearly 100 pounds of water for a cow
receiving dry food alone. II the food
contains water, as in silage or roots,
of course the amount required is less.
The Geneva Station found that cows
in full milk require four and three
fifths pounds of water for every TWEEN
ty pounds of milk. Now, II a COW is
in a cold barn with cold food and ice
water to drink. is she going to chill
herself with hundred pounds of cold
water merely to keep UP her milk
flow? Feed Is high this year, and
bran, hay, corn, etc., are high priced
fuels to heat water, COWS and stables
with. Yet there are going to be many
tons used this winter for just that pur-
pose, and the users will be unanimous
ly of the opinion that "dairying don't
pay."-Hoard's Dairyman.

from being drawn out too far The
