COST OF FEED
Most Economical Of All Rations
for the Dairy Cow Is That
Which Is Grown
on the Farm.
(By J. c. FREY, Kansas

The work Of our Shorthorn dairy
herd of Is cows In 1911 was the most
successful in years.
The most economical feed for the
dairy COW is the feed that is grown on
the farm, and must be in the best con.
dition. This is my method Of feeding:
Forty pounds Of corn silage; one-half
in the morning and one-half in the
evening, with all the alfalfa hay they
will clean up, fed in the barn. They
run to corn fodder unhusked, and
Kaffir fodder in the yard. This is not
a properly balanced ration, but is as
near as can be obtained with the
feeds that can be produced on the
farm.
find it does not pay to buy the
commercial feeds only in the absence
of alfalfa hay, when 1t does pay to
supplement silage with a mixture OF
cottonseed and bran to supply the pro-
tein element. Cows fed on the above
ration just can't help filling the milk
pail.
find in feeding silage the cost OF
feed is reduced from 10 to 80 per cent
and the flow of milk Is increased and
kept up. This Is our second year with
this silage, and it is surely satisfac
tory dairy feed.

The cultivated soil is medium In
which many species of bacteria and

public is familiar with the doctrine or

or tubercies of clover, alfalfa, soy

plants.
One form Of bacterium is not suf-

This flora of the soil both in relation
TO bacteria and fungi of considerable
range of species, is enriched by the
applications of manure and by the
practices of culture; by this is meant
that the growing of a given crop a
second time or a third time consecu.
lively in the soil increases the prob
ability that the plant roots remaining
in the soil are carried over from one
crop to the next together with root
parasites which cause disease in the
plants of this crop. Manifestly. like

While this source of infection is

ease of potatoes transmitted in this
way; the scab of sugar beets may be
carried in like manner. But in fore
