Green crops for the COWS.


We trust that all of our farmers
that have dairy cows will at this time
begin to consider the matter Of green
crops to be fed when the summer
drouth is upon them. In fact, whether
there is to be a drouth or not, there
is always a time In the summer when
the pastures do not give the amount
Of succulent feed needed for the pro-
duction Of large quantities Of milk
Heat is one Of the provisions OF ma
ture for the ripening mp OF the crops
we grow. The heat OF August is hec
esary for the drying up Of the crops
sufficiently to lead many of our most
important plants to start in the forma
ton of seeds. So we must always
count on that condition prevailing In
the middle of the summer. The only
thing for the man that has milch
cows to do Is to SOW corn and other
green forage crops at this time OF
year to supply this need for green
food in the summer time. 1t is best
to SOW such a crop quite early in the
spring, so that the plants may have
obtained a good growth and some
maturity by the time they are wanted
for feeding. The old idea was that a
young crop was the best for feeding,
as 1t was like green grass. But since
we have come to know more about
such things we have found out that
a plant to be at its best for feeding
must be somewhat mature. The corn
plant should be about ready to form
ears to be very good forage. We have
seen in the past corn sown late In the
spring, grown as thick almost as grass
and mown for the stock when 1t was
only two feet high, under the mis-
taken notion that 1t contained a great
deal OF nutriment and very digestible
nutriment at that. Some farmers still
hang to the old practice, which they
have inherited from their ancestors.
Corn, sorghum, beets, turnips and
various rapidly growing grasses may
be sown for this summer use. We
would like to hear from our readers
their experiences in growing such
green forage crops for the purpose Of
soiling their mich cows in the sum
mer.
