SUPPLEMENT To A PASTURE
Feeding Corn SiIase ls Most Economl-
cal Method of Supplying Feed to
Help Out Pasture. -
CBy r. G. wEATHERsTONE)

tby H. VI. w
Green crops fed as supplement to
pasture may be fed in the pasture or
in the barn lot but as a rule are fed
most economically in the barn. The
cows remain inside long enough at
milking time to eat their portions.
AS rule the most economical
method of supplying feed to help out
fall is to feed corn silage. Silage will
keep in good condition for summer
feeding with no loss except on the
surface. If it is not needed during
the summer, 1t may be covered with
the new silage and kept until wanted.
Corn furnishes a larger yield Of dry
matter per acre than any crop that
feeding, and has the further advan-
tage of being on hand as early as
wanted.
1t is handled more economically also
than soiling crops since 1t is cut all
at once and not every day as Is neces-
sary with soiling crops.

economically when they are fed as
individuals and not as a herd. A
too common practice, even in the
otherwise well conducted herds, is for
all animals to be fed the same amount
Of grain, regardless Of the time they
have been in milk or the quantity of
milk the individual cows are produc-
ing. Such feeding always lacks econ
omy. as the high producing cow does
not get enough, and while she may
milk very well for time, she soon
comes down to lower level, while
the lighter producing cow usually
gets too much feed and accumulates

by one Of the recognized registry as
sociatlons don't use that horse. Many
farmers will contend that grade
horse that is good locker is Just as
good for a sire as a pure-bred, and

Some of the handsomest, soundest

and, while they are splendid animals

to. Every grade has yellow streak
in him, and this is Just as likely to
show as his good qualities.
