Iof wheat, and after harvest turn the
COWS into the rape for August and
September fodder. An oat field

would furnish a magnificent late
milk producing fodder. Clover and
timothy are also good milk produc-

experiment. He advised keeping
COWS in barn during milking in the
fy season, and even thought that if

q Mr.. Henderson, late conner from
Illinois, said that sorghum made a

Iglet raising because it was hard on
the soil, and to rape because it
tainted the milk, to which latter.
