USE CARE WITH ACID SILAGE
Plan of Feeding to Keep Cows in Good
Physical Condition and Induce
Good Work in Dairy.

A good deal of corn is put into the
silo every year before it is properly
matured This year this is particu-
larly true Early frost, or fear of be-
ing overtaken by it has induced
many farmers to cut their corn while
it had little but stalks, the ears being
quite undeveloped This often makes
acid silage and COWS do not do as well
on it as they would on well-matured
corn
Where a man has to feed this kind
Of ensilage ne ought to be careful not
to give too much at a feeding. A
small ration of this tender corn will
be eaten with great relish, there being
practically no waste. To balance the
ration and furnish a satisfying meal
there should be as much hay given as
the COWS will eat up clean, not at the
same time as the ensilage is fed, but
at another time of day. Then, too,
some ground feed will go very well
to supplement still further the unbal-
anced ration provided in the corn.
This should not be especially laxa-
tive in its nature; the COWS are get
ting laxative food enough in the en-
silage. Cornmeal seems a good feed;
or ground oats make a rich ration.
Such plan of feeding ought to keep
the COWS in good physical condition
and enable them to do good work in
the dairy.

HAD SMALL FARM
BUT sPEEDED UP

Government Bulletin: The size of a
farm business is not necessarily in
Dictated or limited by the number of
acres in farm. One of the field men
of the department, engaged in farm
survey work, reports the case of a
Wisconsin farmer, so situated as to
make it impossible for him to buy or
rent more land, who solved the prob
lem of small acreage by speeding
up" the 80 acres that he had.
This farmers first move was to dis
pose of his scrub COWS and to replace
them with grades and thoroughbreds;
next, without great expense, he i'm
proved the sanitary condition of his
barns. He established cropping sys-
tenn based on corn and alfalfa, choos
ing the latter rather than clover be-
cause on his farm it produces at
least so per cent more feed per acre
than does clover, and is much more
dependable.
Pastures have now entirely disap-
peared from this farm, because its
owner has demonstrated that l acre
of corn and 1 of alfalfa together fur
nish him with more feed than do 3
acres of pasture His improved, we'll
lighted and thoroughly ventilated barn
is yielding him more than double the
milk he formerly got from his scrub
herd. Furthermore the quality of the
milk has improved, and he demands
and gets the price of a first-class ar
ticle.
The largely increased net income
which this farmer now receives from
the sale of milk and of purebred cat
tie is based on the comparatively
small changes in his type of farming,
which have augmented his business
without entailing any increase in the
size of his farm.
A comparison of this farm with
other dairy farms recently studied by
the department indicates that the ex-
ample of this Wisconsin man might
well be followed, in general, by any
dairy farmer who lives where dairy
products are high priced and who has
a Iow-grade herd, provided he has
sufficient knowledge of cattle to give
high-class dairy cows the care that
they demand.

RECORD KEEPING PAYS WELL
Everything Must Be Determined in
Light of Scales, Babcock Test and
Cost of Production.

Before the results of modern herd
records were known, dairy cattle
were admitted to the herd books, and
bought and sold, chiefly on their out
ward appearances. There was no
standard by which to determine the
relation of form to production. A
nice-looking COW was the one which
brought the most money. What con-
stituted such COW was largely mat
ter of opinion or prejudice.
With the introduction of herd rec
ords opinions came to be valued in
direct proportion to ones understand
ing of the relation Of form to produc-
ton. Everything must be determined
in the light of the scales, the Babcock
test and the cost OF milk production.

ton we must leave with breed enthu-
siasts, says a writer in an exchange
Considerable proof can be adduced
by both sides, but in the final analysis
the question resolves itself into a
choice of individuals within the breed
and their development, due considera-
ton being given to the buyers per-
sonal preferences and opportunities
of purchase of good Individuals.
We would hesitate to dispose of
good producing herd of one breed and
replace it with another without giving
the matter most careful thought. The
disposition of the milk, the prices the
surplus animals will bring, and the
cost of making the change should be
fully considered.

FEEDING CALVES SOUR MILK
Experiment of Department of Agricul-
ture Shows Scours Are Due to
UncIeany Conditions.

By recent experiment the depart
ment of agriculture seems to show
that scours are not due to sour milk
but to uncleanly conditions. If the
milk is not allowed to stand for any
great length of time and not allowed
to become unclean it is as nourishing
to the young calf as sweet skim milk
and as rapid gains were made in one
case as in the other
1t was further shown that sudden
changes from sweet to sour and from
sour to sweet made no apparent
change in the calf although the calf
was only a few days old. 1t was
found by experiment, however, that
sour milk does not prove so favorable
in winter as in summer.

AVOID DAMPNESs AND FILTH
Little Profit in Squads Unless Through
Cleanliness Pigeons Are Kept
Free From Vermin.

There is very little chance of max
ing money from squads unless through
cleanliness pigeons can be kept com
paratively free from disease and in
sect parasites.
The stock should be carefully
watched and any sick birds removed
from the breeding pens. The house
should be kept dry, clean, well ven
tilated, and free from drafts.
The yards should be kept clean Ell
Their by scraping the surface and add
ing fresh sand or gravel or by culti-
waiting the land and planting it to grain
If possible.
Only good, sound grain should be
fed.
