FEEDING FOR MILK.

A large class of farmers who make
dairying one part of their farmwork,
depend almost entirely upon pasturage
during the summer months for feeding
their cows. After grass makes suf-
ficient growth in the spring to make a
reasonable full feed, on through the
summer until hard frost kills off the
grass in the fall, turning the cows into
the pasture in the morning after they
have been milked, and bringing them
back at night to be MIXED is about all
the attending the cows get. 1t is too
often the case that during the spring
and early part of the summer, while
there is good pasturage and the condi-
tions are otherwise favorable, the cows
give full flow of milk. But as the
weather gets warmer and dryer; it is
usually the case that the pasturage
fails to a more or less extent, the con-
ditions for the cows are somewhat less
favorable, and in consequence the guam
tity of milk that the cows give grad
ually decreases. This is against most
profitable dairying.
So far as it is possible to attain, the
cows should give reasonable flow of
milk, ten months in the year; but after
they once begin to fail it is rather
difficult to get them back again, and
the better and safer plan so far as it
is possible is to supply such conditions
as will maintain full flow of milk
through the year.
1t is largely on this account that it
is nearly always possible to have some
crop that can be depended on to use as
is needed through the summer.
Whether dairying is made specially
or not. if the cows are kept on the farm
for their milk they should be kept in
such a way as is best calculated to get
the most out of them. The second
growth of clover can often be used to
good advantage as feed to help out
the pasture. But one of the best crops
for feeding at this time is corn. One
of the largest varieties of sweet corn
can often be used first, followed with
some of the other varities of field corn
later. One of the advantages with corn
is that it remains in good feeding
stage longer than any other crop u.s.
ually grown on the farm. 1t is far bet
ter to cut off the growing crop, than tc
allow the cows to gradually fail in
their milk, as they are so often permit
ted to do. Feed sufficient to maintain
a good milk flow, commence when the
pasturage begins to fail. 1t is the saf
est and most profitable plan.
