Summer Feed
for Dairy Cows.

the net returns from his business for

keep his plant steadily in operation
for twelve months, with a normal out.
put. Farmers who arrange their farm.
ing operations SO that the labor and
capital are used nearly the entire
year are the men who are most sue
cessful Cooperative creameries that
do a fiourishing business, and net the
best returns to the farmers, are the
ones that have a normal supply of
milk or cream during the whole twelve
months OF the year. The interest on
the money invested, the depreciation
on equipment, the wages and other
expenses of operating, go on, even
though the supply of milk and cream
furnished is small Under such cir
cumstances, it is to the advantage of
every farmer and patron of a cream
cry to guard against falling-off in the
amount of milk or cream he is able
to furnish.
Nearly every summer, in the early
part of August, most farmers are con-
fronted with the problem of a short
age of pasture. This is usually
caused by dry time, or by short
age of pasture land, to begin with.
Pasture may be plentiful early in the
season, but there comes a time each
season when the grass dries and
sears, and supplementary feed must
be provided. These diminishing pas
lures cause falling off in the milk
flow, and naturally considerable de-
crease in the milk checks of the
creamery patrons, and an increase in
the cost of butter production. Not
only does insufficient pasturage mean
a falling of in the milk flow at this
time, but is next to impossible to get
the cows back to normal flow after
being checked by shortage of feed.
Forage crops, sown near the pas
ture, will help out in supplying feed
for the COWS at times when the pas
ture fails. Any green succulent feed
will provide the necessary forage;
but oats and peas, mixed, are best for
early feeding, and corn for a little
later in the season. The oats and
peas should be sown together, at the
rate OF about two bushels of Canadian
peas and one and a half bushels of
oats per acre. This mixture should
be drilled and sown near the pasture,
so that it can be cut with a scythe
and fed to the. COWS in the pasture.
The corn should be planted in drills,
about forty inches apart in rows. at
the rate Of forty to fifty pounds per
acre From such planting an abund-
ance of forage can be provided for
fall feeding.
The best variety of corn to sow is
one that is grown in the community.
The land should be well prepared, and
sown the latter part of May or first of
June. 1t may require a little extra
labor each day, during the busy har-
vesting season, to feed the COWS; but
they certainly will respond and pay
for the time by good returns in the
milk pail
