LITTLE DANGER FROM SILAGE
Nothing Cheaper or Productive Of

and Alfalfa Feed,

statement that silage will eat out a

her teeth. When l got home l thought

teeth and if any stomachs were miss.

COW with a tooth gone, but there was
a better one coming in its place writes
C. l.. Hunt in Farm and Home.
l found another COW that has been
eating silage for over 13 years and
has been giving over 10000 pounds
of milk per year. 1t takes an SR-
foot string to reach around this cows
barrel.
Cows that freshen in the fall and
are fed on silage will give one-third
more milk. When the COWS freshen in
the spring it is almost impossible to
keep up the full flow throughout Au-
gust and September because of the
drought which cuts pasture short.
With feed so high we must look
on all sides of the question. If we
study the problem there is no need
for saying that there is no money in
dairying. There is nothing cheaper

1t is not difficult for a practical
'armer or breeder of animals to reach
the conclusion that every particle of
disease in the body of an animal
causes a proportionate reduction in
Its efficiency and economical value.
But while this is true, there is no re
liable to determine just how
great are the losses among animals
that are due to the reduction of their
eff cheney when they are affected with
tuberculosis. In this connection a
statement made by a practical dairy
mar may be of interest. 1he man in
question owned what he sincerely be-
lieved to be a herd of healthy cattle;
the application of the tuberculin test,
however, revealed the fact that a
fairly large percentage Of his COWS
we're affected with tuberculosis. He
Immediately disposed of the tubercu-
lous cows, adopted proper measures
for the protection of those that were
left over, replaced those he lost by
others proven to be free from tubercu-
losis by the tuberculin test, and con-
tinued his dairy business. After about
five years he asserted that his healthy
herd, which he knew to be free from
tuberculosis by the periodic applica-
ton OF the tuberculin test, was so
ingly healthy, tuberculous herd had
been, that he had absolutely no rea-
son to regret the expense he had in

a small way the capital necessary can
be earned, and this is usually done
by men who embark in dairy farming.
In fact, it is much safer to begin
any intensive form of farming on a
small scale in order to learn the de-
tails of the business with as little risk
as possible. Dairy farming maintains
the fertility of the soil perhaps better
than most other types of farming.
This Is especially true where only the
coarser feeds are grown and the con-
centrates are bought. In recent years
the price of farm labor and concen-
trated feeds have risen to such an ex-
from d%airying, but it is still one Of
the best forms of live stock farming
for the beginner.

Is best to start in with a good quality
of grade cows rather than to begin
by purchasing high-priced, registered
stock. But it is highly important to
use pure-bred sires in building up and
maintaining the efficiency of the
herd. Generally it is not safe to de-
pend upon maintaining a herd by buy
ing regularly. 1t is much more salts

AS between the various types of dairy
farming, local conditions must deter.
