Silage for Breeding Ewes

When properly fed to breeding
ewes, silage will not affect the size
and vigor of lambs at birth. That has
been urged as an objection to its use.
but the Iowa agricultural experiment
station has demonstrated that ewes
fed on limited amounts of silage
along with other feeds produced lambs
that were as large and strong as
lambs from ewes that received no
slage at ALL
The ewes were fed in four lots.
Lot No. Glover hay according to
appetite, plus grain mixture of corn
four parts, oats two parts and bran
one part. The lambs from this lot
weighed an average of 1892 pounds at
birth and were 100 per cent strong
in vitality.
Lot No. Glover hay according to
appetite and corn silage, allowing
twice as much silage as hay, plus a
grain mixture of corn, one part, oats,
two parts, and bran, one part. The
lambs in this lot averaged 1896 at
birth and were 100 per cent strong.
Lot No. Corn silage according to
appetite, plus grain mixture of oats
one part, bran one part. The lambs
in this lot averaged S.O23 pounds and
were 100 per cent strong
Lot No. Corn silage according to
appetite, plus cottonseed meal fed at
the rate of one pound to every 80
pounds of silage. The lambs in this
lot averaged 1882 pounds and were
SO per cent strong. The 18 per cent
of weak lambs may have been due to
other causes, probably the advanced
age Of the ewes bearing them, and
not to the silage ration.
1t is quite evident from these re-
suits that silage is satisfactory
feed for breeding ewes, but that it
must be fed as part of ration only
and with clover hay and grains for
the best results. Silage is highly pal
atable and ewes will leave hay to eat
it. so it must be limited in quantity.
In the light of the Iowa experiment
station work, shepherd should not
allow his ewes to eat over two or
three pounds of silage to every pound
of hay.

For Better Success With Glover

Ii Iowa farmers are to have better
success with red clover growing they
must give more attention to the prepa-
ration OF the seed bed; they must find
better nurse crop, and they must
have better method of seeding.
That is the opinion of Prof. H. d.
Hughes of the farm crops department.
Iowa State college, who has given
much study to the clover situation in
Iowa.
In Iowa, oats is used generally as
the nurse crop. This is probably the
poorest crop of any that might be
used" says Professor Hughes. ut
requires more moisture for it's growth
than any of the other crops and it
comes off the ground later and shades
the clover plants until the hotter and
dryer parts Of the summer, when the
clover plant is likely to be killed by
the sun. The oat crop also shades the
ground more during the growing Pc
Rod than. some other crops. Either
winter wheat or barley shades the
ground much less, requires less mois-
ture for growth and is removed earlier
than most varieties of oats. These
are great advantages in nurse crops
for clover"
Upon the question seeding, Profess
sor Hughes says that the common
broadcast method leaves too much to
chance in the covering of the seed
by freezing and thawing in the early
spring, or by rains. Broadcast seed
ing, he believes, is responsible for
many lost seedlings. He recites the
example of an Iowa farmer who is sue
cessful in a large way in clover grow
ing. He usually put his clover seed
in on winter wheat in the spring." he
says, "but instead of sowing it broad
cast he drills 1t in on top of the
wheat. He maintains that his wheat
yield is not decreased any by this
method, but if anything, increased, for
the light dislling forms mulch that
checks evaporation. His average
wheat yield in such fields has for
some years Appropriated 40 bushels
an acre. When this method is not de-
sirable, the seeding may be delayed
until the ground is dry enough for the
use of harrow or roller following the
seeding"

The Hand Separator and
the Small Herd
By M. MORTENSEN. Head of Dairy
Department, Iowa State College

1t is everywhere conceded that the
hand separator pays in managing a
herd of ten cows or more but there
are here and there men who doubt its
value for the small herd. Yet it may
be shown that the machine is proper
tionately as profitable for four ami
mails as for IA, and just as convenient
Where the separator is not used
one of three systems of getting the
cream or butterfat is used-the shall
low pan system, the deep setting sys-
tenn and the dilution system.
Experiments have shown that the
shallow pan system loses from S to
per cent. of the milk's weight in but
ter fat. In the summer it is much
more and the average loss is probably
8 per cent. The average Iowa COW
produces about 1000 pounds of milk
annually. After the cream has been
removed. about $500 pounds of milk
