FEED FOR SEASON

The experience of the past season
should teach every feeder OF farm
animals to provide abundant feed. The
high prices tina: have had to be paid
for feed during the past fall and win
ter have been the underlying cause
that has resulted in the pushing into
the market Of so many half-finished
animals of all kinds. to the utter de-
moralization of prices. We have had
the spectacle of meat animals selling
low at the same time that feed was
selling high. Had the farmers been
provided with an abundance of feed
we would not have seen the rush to
market, as the meat animals would
have been fed TIL such time as they
could be disposed of. In the provid-
ing of an abundance of feed nothing
will be found to be more serviceabls
than the silo, for all kinds of ami
mails will eat silage with a relish and
thrive on It. One Of the first things
to be done this spring should be the
setting aside of large area OF land
for the growing of forage crops and
even OF root crops, to increase the
surplus OF feed.
