vetch is cut; this to be used two
years for hay, silage or pasture, &C
cording to circumstances. when it
will again be plowed under for corn.
Manure to be applied to the clover as
a top dressing.
Of course | do not claim that this
would be the best, nor even an adj
visable system under all conditions,
but is simply offered as one way in
which such plan of feeding might
be worked out.
have used principally Early King
Philip, a red flint corn, for silage,
and have had no difficulty in matur-
ing excellent seed during the past two
seasons. Several other varieties have
been successfully raised at the West
ern Washington Experiment Station,
Puyallup, a list of which may be OBJ
tanned from the Station.
[ do my planting about May 10th,
on ground thoroughly prepared, and
harvest usually about September 10th
to 25th.
I figure the cost of corn silage in
GLIDING cost of raising crop, harvest
ing and filling silo, at about Sd. 30 per
ton. Included in this cost is an al
lowance for the use of the land at $40
per acre. Our corn has yielded about
Is tons per acre during the past two
seasons. Many growers show costs
decidedly less than this, and yields
two or even three times as great, but
| would not advise anyone to depend
on too high yields until his own ex-
perience demonstrates what may be
expected under his own conditions.
1t is unnecessary to give directions
for putting up ensilage, since author
itative information on this point are
available in the form of government
and experiment station bulletins,
but there are two things which cannot
be repeated too often, and those are:
First: The whole secret of the
making of good ensilage is the ex-
clusion of air. The silo must be
tight and the silage must be we'll
packed, especially around the outer
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-04-01

edges of the silo.
Second: Do not feed mouldy
silage, if any is found as the silage is
fed.
1t is as much to the interest of the
land owners who lease their land for
dairy purposes to have silos erected
for their tenants, either by sharing or
entirely assuming the cost, as it is
for the dairymen farming their own
land to provide them, since the pos
sibility of keeping more COWS upon
the consequent increase in fertility
of their soil.

The SiIo for Western Washington

All agree that succulent feed in
the winter ration will increase the
milk flow, while at the same time ma
terially reducing the amount of dry
feed necessary. By the use of the silo
this essential portion of the ration
may be provided better than in any
other way. One of the greatest ad-
vantages of this system of feeding is
that COWS coming fresh in fall and
winter, when milk is highest in price
may be prohtably fed to produce
fresh at this time and we'll fed during
the winter produce much more milk
during the year than they would un-
der the common existing practice OF
having most of the herd freshen in
The spring, and allowing them to
shrink naturally in flow after the
middle of the summer when the grass
begins to fail. After this shrinkage
occurs, no amount of dry feed will
bring the flow up again. On the 9th
er hand, COWS fed silage during the
winter, and turned onto grass in
good physical condition in spring,
will continue to milk to the limit of
their capacity.
Silage has an equally important
place in the summer ration. Crops
such as clover, oats and vetch, ETC.,
may be harvested SO as to be ready
to feed as soon as needed to supple
ment the pasture grass. Since the
entire crop may be cut at the time
when it possesses the greatest feeding
value, and harvested cheaper than in
the case of soiling crops which re-
quire to be cut every day or two, the
great advantage of this practice is APP
parent. My own experience with
soiling crops has been that it is i'm
possible to figure with sufficient ac-
curacy as to dates of planting and
the probable date of harvest, to avoid
having too much at one time and not
enough at another. Ii put into the
silo, it is there when needed, and il
properly put up will keep in the best
of condition for a much longer period
than is ever likely to be required of
it.
After having given the subject
great deal of study, | have determined
upon the following rotation, which l
shall follow as nearly as practicable
until something better presents itself:
Corn one year, for winter feeding.
Oats and vetch, seeded in the fall as
soon as the corn is removed, from
which two crops may be expected the
following season, for summer and fall
feeding.
Glover and grass, eeded in the fall
after the second crop of oats and

By w. S. V. Robb, Kent, WASH,
Vice President of the Washington
Dairy Association.
After all is said and done about
our all the year round pasture in
Western Washington, the fact remains
that if we are to secure the maximum
flow of milk from our COWS, some feed
must be provided to either supple
ment or entirely replace the pasture
grass during about nine months OF
the year. This is especially true
since the present prices Of land and
the high rentals prohibit unlimited
range if dairying is to be conducted
profitably.
The silo, providing as it does a
cheap and satisfactory means OF
preserving feeds in all of their natu-
raj succulence and without waste.
offers the logical solution of this
problem. The next few years will
undoubtedly witness the construction
of great number of silos in this Sec
ton, and the result will be to place
the business of dairy farming upon a
tirmer basis than ever.
AS in the case of every thing else
which marks advancement OF decld-
ed character, the extravagant and
unfounded claims often made by its
over enthusiastic friends have prob
ably done as much as the equally I'M
justified attacks OF its enemies to
retard it's more universal adoption.
The farmer is naturally conservative,
and he has need to be, since the
profits from his operations are not
such as to justify his xperimenting
when such experiments bear any re-
semblance to game OF chance.
Plain, unvarnished statements of fact
are what the farmer wants and he is.
on the average, quite capable of de-
termining the merits of any PROPOSE
ton which is properly presented to
him.
The silo is now firmly established
in the older dairy centers OF the
country, and all the necessary pio
neering has been done in this section,
so that it is no longer necessary for
the individual farmer to do the eX-
perimenting, and the silO possesses
sufficient merit to make its appeal
as a cold business proposition.
1t has now been fully demonstrated
that field corn can be raised success
fully in Western Washington, and
numerous other crops which do we'll
in this section can be used to advan
tage for making silage. Aside from
corn, there are available clover, oats
and peas and oats and vetch. Some
farmers substitute barley for oats in
the above combinations.

4 r A ELE TIE
LANDSTRASSEN.

Reaching almost every nook and
Granny or the German empire is an in
comparable system of macadam ave.
,nues. constructed, some say, solely
from the military viewpoint OF rapid
transportation OF troops and army
supply trains. but, nevertheless. OF
considerable convenience in times of
peace. These broad, snloothly-kept
highways stretch in q network over
the country, as excellent in quality In
the thinly populated districts as i'll
those parts where cities and villages
crowd one another.
While the authorities who caused
the construction OF these roads may
have smeIled the smoke and heard
the crackle of future battles, they
must. too. have had visions OF loaded
trains; vans and trucks teeming up
on the smooth macadam surfaces; for
her wonderful fretwork of good roads
has played large part in the agricul-
tural and industrial Development OF
Germany. Probably, too, there was
some thought of the visiting stranger
who enjoys touring by historic places
at the legal speed limit.
However, good roads are not a i
special virtue of the Germans land.
France, too, is crossed and crtss-
crossed by the same sort of remark
ably .well-planned arteries. There is.
though, a peculiarly German feature
about the German roads, and that Isl
concerned with the manner in which
they are made to help out in their up
keep.
Along the borders of the great
Landstrassen, and even along the
tree lawns of streets reaching into a
village or city suburbs, all manner
of fruit trees are planted to give
shade. One may pass along one OF
these roads for hours. which is shad-
of apple trees or plum trees. These
trees, OF course, belong to the gov
eminent responsible for the main
tenance of the roads. Their fruit
harvests are sold for the public ac-
count. AS the plums or apples near
the ripening stage. blocks OF the
trees are auctioned off to the farmers
of the neighborhood. who harvest
and dispose of the product. Thus.
the German thoroughfares are Ars
ly self-supporting.
Apple trees and plum trees give
excellent shade and appear about as
well along the borders OF an avenue
as most of the non-prC-ductive trees
Therefore, in the interest of econ
only, the moving principle. or one OF
the moving principles behind German
prosperity, authorities of the empire
nave planned the greater part OF
their extensive tree lawns in apples
and plums. People who have beef
so trained in the ways of obedience
that they come to stiff attention ana
salute every time they see a petty
officer in a dream do not steal light
ly. So it is that the German prob
lem of making their tree lawns pay
is much simpler one, sci, for in
stance, it might be in this country.
The hungry and the stated tramp by
the government fruit trees and never
