PLANNING FARM FOR PROFIT
Bulletin Recently Issued by United
States Department Of Agriculture
important to Farmer.

A recent bulletin issued by the Uni
ted States department of agriculture,
entitled "Replanning a Farm for
Profit" deals with principles that are
vital TO successful farming in the corn
belt Few farmers realize the differ
ence in income that may be produced
on the farms by the systematic intro
duction and rotation OF clover or other
leguminous crops over the entire area
OF their tillable land. The planning
of rotations to meet certain feed re-
quirements and to grow crops which
shall be the greatest income produ-
GERS under given conditions is a prob
lem that is not easily solved by all
the tillers of the soil. The conserva-
ton Of soil fertility by appropriate TO
tations together with applications OF
manures and fertilizers in such man
ner as will maintain a permanent sys-
tenn OF agriculture has been largely
overlooked by farm owners in the
past Farmers Bulletin $40 assists
the farmer in solving these difficulties.

ADVANTAGES OF THE SILAGE
Experiments Demonstrate That Field
Of Corn Will Yield $3s per Acre

or the various feeds which are the
most palstsble corn silage is without
doubt the cheapest and most effective
ration. II Is a valuable feed for dairy
and beef cattle and also for horses,
calves and sheep. Many OF the lead
ing Wisconsin farmers find that silage
can be handled a. cheap, II not cheap
er, than the corn crop can be handled
IN the usual manner. Silage furnishes
a succulent feed with very little waste
and is always ready 10 use.
In combination with alfalfa or clio
yer. with a mixture OF corn or barley
for grain, silage furnishes an espe-
cially good ration. all grown on the
farm and cheaper than mill feeds.
/ The importance OF palatability cannot
be overestimated. as IL increases the
amount OF feed eaten and. when prop
erly assimilated, the more the animal
eats the larger product il will return.
\ ton OF mixed hay occupies 400
cubic feet OF space and eight tons OF
corn silage can be put in the same
amount OF room. The ton OF mixed
hay contains about 200 pounds OF d.
gestible dry matter. while eight tons
OF silage contain $3.50 pounds of dry
matter. This one point Of the eco
nomical storage OF the corn crop
when put up in the form Of silage. is
worthy OF attention where a large
number OF animals are fed.

preciated by those who have tried it,

silage. The summer silo is sure to
become more important factor in
successful dairying.
The use OF silage for fattening beef
cattle has been tested NJ a number Of
experiment stations and by stockmen
with excellent results. In experiments
conducted by the writer il was found
that silage fed steers sold at $4.95 per
100 pounds, while those fed no snage
brought only S4.70 per 100 pounds. a
gain OF 20 cents in favor Of silage fed
animals. II was found that for every
100 pounds of gain All pounds of
silage fed saved Is pounds Of grain
and 156 pounds OF alfalfa.
In these tests silage was fed in con-
nection with alfalfa hay, corn chop.
Kafir corn chop and cottonseed meal.
The average soil. in unusual seasons,
will produce u to Is tons OF green
corn per acre. Even with a yield OF
10 tons per acre there is an income.
according to this experiment, of about
$50 per acre.
The financial statement Of this ex-
pertinent showed that the silage fed
steers made a profit OF $40 per head.
while the same grade OF steers fed
on the same feed except silage lost
s1.47 per head.
