PROTEIN is NEEDED
FOR WINTER FEED
Oats and Peas are Becoming
More Popular Each Year
Easy to Cut and Handle.
(By w. NJ. KELLY.)

Every year | am coming to appre-
ciate the value of oats and peas as a
summer forage for the dairy cattle and
as a source of protein for winter feed
ing. These crops are becoming more
popular every year. They are very
palatable and nourishing, easy to cut
and handle, and come at a time when
the pastures are short and dry.
A succession of sowings will afford
green feed for number of weeks.
These crops should be sown as early
as possible and the ideal way is to
SOW the peas broadcast and plow them
in about four inches deep with a one
horse plow. After four or five days put
in the oats about two inches deep.
They will come up about the same
time and the peas will fill better and
stay green longer for being planted
deep.
On account of the rush of work
during the spring and uncertain
weather conditions we usually mix the
two kinds of seeds and compromise
by drilling as deep as possible, putting
in both kinds of seeds at one opera
tion.
The ground should be rolled and
planked so that the crops can be cut
with moving machine or scythe. l
prefer to use about two bushels of
peas to one of oats, although l fire.
quently vary the amounts according
to the price of the pea seed.
For cutting green 1t is best to make
a number Of sowings about week or
ten days apart. Two or three acres
of good land should furnish enough
forage for twenty-five or thirty COWS
for number of weeks during the
summer
For winter feed they will produce
more tons of good feed than clover
| hay and will greatly reduce the bills
for grain feed. They should be sown
the same as for forage and cut when
the oats are heading and the peas are
we'll in bloom, then the stock will eat
them more readily with no waste.
Do not wait until the oats are
formed or there will be difficulty
experienced in feeding the fodder
This mixture is worthy place on
every dairy farm.
