By ELMER HENDERSON, Illinois)
or recent years there has been
great deal OF agitation over whether
the large type or medium type animal
is the most profitable. The owners
of the large type animals have taken
II for granted that their animals are
as profitable as the medium type per
unit OF grain consumed, and argued
therefrom that AZ their animals were
larger and carried more grain to mar
ket they must be the more profitable
Such is not necessarily the case.
Let us look at the case from the
beginning. as Il were. Suppose we
take the Shropshire as typical OF the
medium type Of sheep, and the Ok
ford. Hampshire as exemplifying the
large type. We find by experience
on our own farm that while seven or
eight Shropshires can be kept on an
acre OF land. five Is all we could pos
sibly figure on keeping II Oxfords or
Hampshires were kept Upon this ba-
sis. where a man had pasture enough
TO keep 40 Shropshires, he could keep
only 100 Oxfords, Hampshires or Cots
wolds.
The difference in grain eaten Is also
something immense. While we are
feeding our Shropshire ewes only two
thirds Of oats daily our Oxfords get as
much as one and one-quarter daily.
Almost twice the amount.
The advocates OF the larger type OF
sheep admit this to be true, but they
say. 'our sheep will weigh 80 pounds
At the age yours will weigh 10
pounds"
Let us grant this for the time being.
There is yet another consideration.
While your 100 ewes OF the large type
are doing well II they raise 100 lambs
one and one.half IL common and one
and three-quarters lambs per eve is
not unusual in ell handled Shrop-
shire nocks. One and one-half lambs
per eve may be taken as q fair aver
age. our 40 Shropshire ewes would
have produced for us 2i0 lambs
against the 100 lambs OF the larger
type sheep
Then. too. our Shropshire ewes are
such superior mixers and the lambs
such perfect mutton animals. that
when they go to market there Is no
comparison between the condition OF
he two lots of lambs While the one
lot is big and rough and not fat

Corn seems to be the lest single
silo crop for the silo, and by com.

When corn is fully tasseled, 1t con-

the increase Is but slight,
For the silage to keep well, the
corn should not be cut until most Of
the kernels are glazed and hard, II
too ripe, the silage will not settle well
and the air will not be sufficiently
excluded to prevent spelling.
The corn is most easily handled by
cutting with a corn binder and using
a silage cutter OF a sufficient capacity
to avoid the necessity Of cutting bands
