Feeding the Milk Maker

l cannot understand how any dairy
man can get along without silo.
recently heard one successful dalryman
say that II he had built sllo five
years earlier he would have easily
saved $1,000 | figure that when you
get twenty tons of sllage to the acre it
is equal to seven tons of the best hay.
That ought to settle the question, says
Connecticut dalryman in American
Agriculturist.
Wonderful Forage Crops Possible.
1t Is difficult to understand why the
southern dairymen do not raise their
feed. The system Of dairying that Is
carried on In the north, IL adopted,
could not fail to be more profitable to
the producer and more healthful for
the consumer, affirms G. r. Doane In an
exchange. The amount of forage that
can be raised on an acre of land In
most OF the southern states Is beyond
the conception of the northern farmer.
The Pasture "A Back Number.
Nobody but Millionaire can afford
a pasture" states Mr.. DIETRICH. as quot
ed in Farm Journal. "Soiling Is the
correct idea. Grow the feed and bring
It to the cows. Rye. oats and peas.
sweet corn, ensllage, hay. ETC., are the
keynotes of modern farming. The pas
ture is back number"
At CaIving Time.
At calving time many breeders feed
warm bran mashes, and some give
tepid water for drinking purposes until
the cow has regained her normal con-
dition.
Serving the Dairy Cows Feed.
In England a great deal Of attention
II given to the preparation Of feed for
dairy cows. Grain Ia usually crushed
or ground. Chatting or cutting straw
and hay is a very general practice.
Roots are usually pulped or sliced.
More Roots to He Usedf
An Increased use Of roots Ia being adj
vocated In this country. In Great Brit
ain they are fed to dairy cattle as well
as to beef animals, but when feeding
them to milk cows the best dairymen
take pains to avoid tainting the milk
By their uso.
Dairy Feeding Well Understood.
! suppose no other question has re-
csdved more consideration among our
farmers In the past twenty-five years
than this question Of feeding. and the
result u the general principles Of feed
ing today are pretty well undsrsteod
It has been said, and I think with .
goed deal Of force. that the dairy Of the

Alfalfa In Ohin.

In discussion of alfalfa growing at
the annual meeting Of the Ohio farmers
institute Mr.. Wing advised to get good
clean seed. 1t should be a bright green
ish yellow in color; avoid brown seed.
Be sure it contains no weed seed, espe-
cially dodder.
Mr.. Rankin of Fayette county doubt
ed that alfalfa would grow on any and
every soil. He had succeeded with it
In some instances, in others failed.
Mr.. Wing stated that special soil
preparation was necessary to insure
good root development and acknowl-
edged that crop was not always as
sured

1t Is estimated by G. e. Marshall Of
Michigan that IL cents per quart is not
too high a retail price for milk when
all the conditions under which 1t Is pro-
duced and handled are Ideal. He
argues for the production and sale Of
milk Of different grades on business
basis. Such specifications as seem fair
for the production of 8 cent milk, 6
cent milk. and so on, should be agreed
upon by contract between producer
and consumer. The producer should Do
eide upon what grade Of milk be n
willing to produce. The consumer
should understand clearly the difSer.
ence between, say, 8 cent milk and 10
cent milk and should decide what
grade he wants.

A Dry Town.

The water wagon should be the most
popular vehicle in Paita, Peru, for 1t
hasn't rained there for thirteen years.
BY this time we should think that a
cautious man In that city might ven

the town reasonably be expected to do
a land Office business In the exporting
Of water crosses.
When the children want fairy stories
they doubtless gather about the oldest
inhabitant and make him tell them
about the time that It rained, and then
they doubtless go away remarking to
one another that for change they rath-
er like liar.
