SEVERAL SUM INFER
FEEDING PROBLEMS
Intelligent Provision Gives Sub

Although the question OF summer
feeding has become one OF the most
Important IN the country. so far as
many farmers are concerned. there
are many who. in my opinion. miss
nome OF the main points altogether.
An intelligent provision for summer
feeding gives substantial advantages
TO the farmer.
Less land is used for pasturase and
consequently the percentage OF waste
n reduced. II there Is saving In
the amount OF land It simply means
the use OF less capital in this branch

is the matter OF keeping up the mix

that of maintaining the growth ana

dry weather is pretty sure TO curtain
the growth OF grass to such an extent
that the milk supply is lessened ana

The conclusion is that the FARMER
should not depend on pasturage AFTER
the first OF July and therefore only
.o much land should be devoted TO
graslng as may be needed in the most
favorable part of the season.
The problem OF supplying summer
fodder can easily be settled by the
