W cut again.

Now as to the method of feeding
this green food when we are ready
to begin cutting, after the morning
milking is done, one of the mixers
goes to the field with the moving ma
chine, and cuts enough for twenty
four hours feed. Then he unhitches
the team from the machine, and hitch
es up to a two-hOrse rake and rakes
the stuff innto small windows. These
windows are necessarily small, for the
reason that there is no wire-tooth rake
in the market that will stand the strain
put upon it when raking this fresh
cut alfalfa and make windows more
than from twelve to sixteen apart
These windows are then made into
small punches by hand with pitch
forks, putting the widths of three
swaths of the moving machine into
one bunch; this leaves room for the
wagon to be driven between the rows
of punches, and the wagon can be load
ed from both sides at the same time,
and no man is needed on the wagon.
After the wagon is loaded, it is driv-
en- to the feeding field and the load is
put into the hangers. The cows are
ready for it, having been turned di-
rectly from the milking corral into the
field. Two loads of green feed, not
weighed, but estimated to be one and
one-half tons is enough to feed one
hundred and fifty COWS during the
day of twelve hours. Two loads of
green alfalfa and a small load of hay
are then put in the other feeding field
for the night feed, and the cows go to
this after the evening milking. Each
COW will consume from eighty to one
hundred pounds of fresh-cut alfalfa in
twenty-four hours.
At times during the summer the

OF alfalfa, 1oX-tail, burr clover, altilaria
and rye grass during the day; at night
they are fed alfalfa hay in the field.
BY the 18th of April the alfalfa is
usually far enough advanced to make
it profitable to cut and feed to the
cows, keeping the COWS off the large
fields and confined to the two small
that all the feed for both day and
night may be put in the managers dur
ing the morning and the feeding be
finished by II o'clock noon.
Cutting the Crop.
From the 18th of April to the last of
November the routine of feeding varies
little. The alfalfa grows rapidly and
it is an easy matter to arrange the
cutting SO that it can be cut when it
is of the greatest food value. This
will be when the Towering period of
the plant is about one-fourth advanced.
There will be some flowers open, but
most of them will b just ready to
open. The color of the field will have
changed from vivid green to blush
green If cut before this period the
alfalfa will bloat the COWS; if cut when
fully in flower it will have become
woody and have lost much of it's
food value. If find at any time that
the alfalfa will be too old before it
can be cut for feed, have all the field
cut out and made into hay, and feed
this hay to the cows for few days
instead of the green feed. The change
does the cows good, and the hay, cut
at the right time, has a much greater
feeding value than over-ripe green
stuff. After the first time of cutting
over the fields, however, there will be
no trouble in having a supply for cut
ting as it is needed, as the fields will
then lie in steps as it were, as to adj
vancement in growth, and that cut
first, in four to six weeks, will be ready

almost entirely of alfalfa, | think it
will be we'll at this time to tell how l
grow this feed.
First, as to the time of sowing, l
have had the best success by sowing
the seed during the month of March
Next, the preparation of the ground:
Taking an old alfalfa field that needs
Resolving, l do not pillow the land, for
the reason that the pillow cuts off the
crown of the plant, and a new shoot
or plant very seldom, if ever, starts
up from the root again. But take the
crown or head of the plant and bury
it in the ground and it will throw out
new roots and new shoots, and make
a vigorous plant. Instead of the pillow,
| use the right lap disc, putting four
horses on a disc that cuts about TWEEN
ty-four inches, the four discs being
set six inches apart.
| cut the ground one way, cutting
about four inches deep, setting the
disc at slight angle, in order not to
cut off the crowns of the alfalfa; then
| cross the land with the disc in the
opposite direction from the first cut
ting; then again l cross the land in
the same direction as the first time.
If the ground is in good filth, and a
fine seed bed by this third cutting, l
stop the disc; if not, I cut it the
fourth time. This is really slow
process, as it is equal to blowing the
land once with a siX-inch plow But
it pays to use the disc. By the time
the ground has been gone over three
or four times with the disc, the crowns
of the old alfalfa plants will be cut
and sliced into many pieces. This is
just what is needed by the old plant.
1t takes new vigor and will grow bet
ter than a new plant, just as an old
peach tree will throw out new branch
es by vigorous pruning of the old tree.
By using the disc instead of the plow,
you save the old plants.
Next comes the seeding. I sow on
the prepared land about eighty pounds
of barley to the acre. I SOW the barley,
not as a nursing crop, but to insure d
crop of hay if the alfalfa should fail.
Oats will not ripen with the first
crop of alfalfa on our lands but the
barley does.
After the barley has been sowed,
| harrow it in, then roll the ground
with a roller or drag a clOd-masher
over it. Then | SOW about thirty
pounds of alfalfa seed to the acre,
using a Pacific seed sower, such as is
used in sowing wheat; then harrow
the seed in with common spike
toothed harrow. Go over the ground
with a clod-masher, then with the roll
er, and the field is finished. You need
not go to it again, except to see if the
crop is ready to cut.
This clod-masher of which | spoke
is made by mailing one by six-inch
bords together, like the weather-board-
ing on house.
Feeding the Cows.
During the months of December,
January and February the cows are
let into the barn about 3 o'clock p. m.
each day, their afternoon feed having
been placed before the stanchions dur
ing the earlier part of the day. This
ictc IF oh
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1902-11-15

go to a field of about six acres, for
water, and another feed of alfalfa hay,
which has been put from an outside
stack into the feeding managers in the
field.
The COWS remain in the barn only
during the time of the morning and
afternoon milkings, except when
cold rainstorm comes. Then l keep
them up at night while the storm lasts.
After close observation and many
years experience, | find that the health
of the COWS is better and they do bet
ter by keeping them in the open as
much as possible. Give them all they
not hurt them. This turning of the
COWS out at night is practiced by all
of the dairymen in my section.
In the evening, after the COWS have
been turned out of the barn, some hay
is put in the hangers for them to eat
while they are being MIXED the next
morning. Immediately after the morn
ing milking the COWS go to the feeding
field where hay is put into the hangers
for them, and the COWS eat all they
want until evening. l feed no grain,
or squash, or roots or corn. This way
of feeding is practiced daily during the
months of December, January and
February
l have small views of the field man
gers which will help me to explain
their construction and use. These man
gers are sixteen feet long, four feet
wide at the floor, and one foot high
from the floor to the top. The length
of the legs, from top of manger to the
ground is two feet and seven inches.
1t is five feet 'threee inches wide at
top three feet and nine inches where
the legs stand on the ground, all out
side measurements. The legs, railing
on top, and cross braces are of two
by four pine; the floor, sides and ends
are of one by twelve redwood. There
is no brace lengthwise at the bottom
of the legs; this has been left off, so
that the manger could be easily turned
upside down, or onto short bob-sled,
when moving to fresh feeding place.
The advantages of this measure are
many. They are easily moved from
place to place. They save the feed,
keep it clean, since the COWS cannot
run over it; being four feet wide, the
cows cannot throw the feed out; being
low, they are easily filled from the
wagon, and the COWS can eat from
them without fox-tail and other seeds
into their eyes and ears.
l have twenty-five of these managers
in each field. I set them in a row and
about ten feet apart. l have a picture
which shows the appearance of the
hangers after they have been filled
and other views which show how read
lily the cows come to eat. They stand
at the hangers with much order and
dignity. Much of this orderliness is
due to the fact that they have no
horns. Since dehorning they eat, drink,
and walk together and go into the
barn or corral in quiet and orderly
manner.
I have view of the wagon used in
the feeding; the frame is sixteen feet
long and eight feet WIDE with a
smooth floor and no warehouses. An

q man who was there at the time, the

from some one.
