Live Stock Farming
University Man Describes System
That Will Permanently Main
tain Soil.
written for the Illinois Farmers
Institute.)

' "lltlSu 1Oi lliS
Institute.)
1t is we'll known that live stock
farming is better for the land than
grain farming, and most farmers have
supposed such a system would keep
UP the fertility of the soil indefinitely.
But when the annual removal and sup
ply of plant food is put into actual
figures. it is seen that this is not the
case, except under some such care.
fully planned system as DR.. Cyril G.
Hopkins described at several meetings
of the soil advisory committee, held at
the various soil experiment fields re-
Gently inspected by the committee and
interested farmers. On this subject,
DIR. Hopkins said:
In live stock farming take a five
year rotation, including corn two
years. oats with clover and timothy
seeding the third year, and two years
clover and timothy, using one year for
hay and the other for pasture, assum
ing the same yields as before. Shock
/
silo; husk the other half and use the
oats straw for bedding.
The four crops will remove from the
soil about 500 pounds of nitrogen, and
the clover hay will contain about 100
pounds, which we assume was secured
from the air, making 4S9 pounds of
nitrogen in the total feed and bedding.
If one-half Of this is recovered in the
| manure and returned to the land, there
| would be a deficiency of 124 pounds.
But two-thirds of the nitrogen can be
recovered by feeding upon cement
| floors and a liberal use of straw and
shredded fodder for bedding, thus re
ducing the deficiency to 43 pounds.
| The pasturing may gain II pounds
of nitrogen. By feeding more or less
upon the fields and by leaving consid
cradle clover in the pasture to serve
as green manure, this small deficiency
can be replaced but to maintain or in
crease the supply of humus in the
soil is by no means an easy problem
even with live stock farming.
Keep in mind these two words
phosphorus and humus. If these ar,
increased in the soil the farm will bt
growing richer and more productive
but whoever removes the phosphorus
or destroys the humus more rapid.
than they are replaced, will hav,
lpoorer land year by year, with povert.
