GREEN CORN FOR
FODDER AND SlLO
Plant an Early Variety for Feed
ing to CoWS-Runout Sod
Ground.

For feeding green to COWS during
the summer, plant an early variety Of
corn. Select rim-cut, sod-ground, or
ground from which a crop Of crimson
clover or green rye has been cut off.
Plow the ground, harrow and roll be-
fore the fresh plowed ground can dry
out Mark out the long way of field
and drill half bushel of corn and 400
pounds of a standard bone fertilizer
to the acre. This is much the quickest
and most economical way. 1t saves
time and labor The corn is put in at
the right depth and without waste of
seed Four hundred pounds Of good
superphosphate to the acre, applied to
good sod land, will bring good crop
of forage If land is thin, spread
coat Of manure and harrow it in. then
drill the corn in with the phosphate.
Run the drills feet apart II the
field is weedy, plant in hills so the
crop can be cultivated both ways AS
soon as the corn can be plainly seen,
start the sulky cultivator, using the
steel chisel teeth. Early cultivation
kills weeds and starts vigorous
growth Of the corn. Plant the variety
.of corn that is best suited to your soil
and climate. Homegrown seed is
best and much the cheapest. The num-
Der Of acres to plant will depend upon
the capacity of silo, and the number
Of stock to feed One acre of good
land, given thorough culture, will yield
10 to IL tons of forage. For green
feed to supplement the pasture during
the latter part of summer and early
fall, one acre for Is head of cows
should be planted. Have one large
field and drill the corn the long way
of field. Be sure to have the ground
finely pulverized and rolled; the field
can then be quickly planted and early
cultivation given. Corn is the best
crop to grow for green feed for the
silo, or to cure for winter feed.

Various forms of "suitings," in rel

ratines, so very expensive; they are
manufactured with such a soft, vel

EXCELLENT FEED
FOR ALL POULTRY
Sprouted Oats Is One Of Best
Things That Can Be Given
to Little Ones.

Oats is one Of the best feeds one
can give chicks for growth, but 1t is
hard to get in suitable form for feed
ing to poultry. One of the best meth
DDS is to sprout it. A pail of oats is
covered with water and allowed to
soak about twelve hours. In winter
we use water which Is heated and just
cool enough that you can bear your
hand in it, in summer, cold water.
After soaking, the oats are poured
out into trays two feet wide and three
feet long and two inches deep. The
bottoms of these trays are made of
galvanized one-fourth inch mesh wire
screen. We start bucketful OF the
oats every day, piling the trays on top
of each other until we have four or
FIVE.
Meanwhile we must thoroughly stir
the oats in each tray every day and
wet with water. The oats will, no
doubt. heat some and this makes them
sprout fast, but If they have ten
dency to get too hot, cold water could
be used to keep them cool. By the
fourth or fifth day the sprouts are
perhaps one-half to one inch long.
For summer feeding, when the stock
can get plenty of grass, they will eat
the oats readily at this stage and it
is as good a growing feed as can be
obtained. The sprouts are very good
for early chicks that can get no grass.
For winter feeding to the poultry, it
ia often advisable to let the oats grow
more and turn green. Then you will
have to let it grow few days longer
and If you can get suitable rack to
hold the trays several inches apart it
will be very convenient. By starting
one tray each day and feeding the far
therest developed each day continu'
GUS supply may be had. This feed
has been advertised extensively as a
secret and the books explaining this
method have sold extensively at from
81 to IS each.
In feeding for growth and early
development remember that the best
feeds are cheapest, and that plenty
of clean feed of such variety to pro
duce a balanced ration and plenty OF
pure water will make you more profit
than If the birds are scantily fed and
allowed to stay inshlthy quarters and
pestered by lice.
