1t Is well to have some green forage

Corn is the best crop for this purpose
because Of its high yield, and it can
be grown almost everywhere
One Of the main reasons why many
cows are not profitable milk and but

to freshen in the spring and are not

when the grass dries up and becomes

1t Is always best to feed them grain for
awhile until the grass gets more ma
ture. The grass In the early part Of
the season contains high per cent Of
water, and 1t is almost impossible for
any OF the cows In the herd to obtain
enough nutriment from this grass at
this time.
After the cows have been on grass
for week or ten days 1t will be
necessary to feed only the best cows.
As long as the COW is producing not
over a pound of butter per day 1t is
possible for the necessary feed to be
secured from a good pasture. A COW
that will produce one to two pounds
OF butter per day cannot get the re-
Quired nutriment from the pasture
alone. II the cows freshen In the

COWS ON PASTURE
NEED SOME GRAIN.

Does 1t pay to feed grain to dairy
cows when they are turned out to
pasture? This is a question that claims
the attention Of dairymen at this time

an increase In the milk flow from a
herd when the cows are fed grain in
addition to the pasture. but will the
increase in milk flow pay for the
amount of grain fed? When the cows
are first turned to pasture in the spring
