SlLAGE IN SUMNER
FOR THE DAIRY HERD
Good Crops Properly Stored In the
SiIo Become Insurance Against
Drought to the Dairyman.

(By c. A. Hutton, Division OF Extsn.
sion, University of Tennessee.)
During July and August pastures
are short and dry, flies bad and the
weather hot Under such conditions
COWS can not profitably yield milk
without some supplemental feed. Ex.
pertinent Stations and dairy farms
have found that the summer silo hest
meets this need for supplemental feed
Many of the most progressive dairy.
men consider silage as essential for
summer use as it is for winter.
The dairyman who has a small silo
can be just about Indifferent to sum
mer droughts. 1t is seldom so dry
that fair crops of silage can not be
grown.
Let the man beginning with a small
herd and expecting to increase that
herd build silo small in diameter. but
rather tall, of sufficient capacity to
feed the present herd through the win
ter A little later, when larger silo
is needed for winter feeding and the
owner has become thoroughly con-
WINGED of the value of silage, the small
silo may be filled for summer use and
larger one built for winter.
For summer feeding it is easy to
ascertain the diameter of the silo
needed. Complete tables will be sent
to any one asking for them, but as a
guide now, one may think of these
facts: A silo with an inside diameter
of II feet will accommodate 81 head
of cattle if they are fed 80 pounds per
head. If the feeding is made 20 pounds
per head, Sc cattle may be taken care
of; if Is pounds, rs cattle.
Now is the time to prepare to meet
the drought of next summer. Crops
of corn and sorghum may be planted
on stubble land Immediately after the
crop of wheat, oats or barley is har-
vested. Prepare the soil by the Sub
soil method" and good yields of silage
may be expected.

GET A FLOCK OF SHEEP
State Now Has Only 100000 sheep
Where It Should Have Several

County Agent W. K. Upton, of VII

Mill Lamb Club sold its lambs for de-
livery in Lebanon. May 80, at eleven
and half cents a pound.
That fact should set every farmer
in Tennessee TO thinking
A West Tennessee farmer owned IL
ewes last winter, from which he raised
80 lambs. This is far above the aver
age, but put these two facts OF high
price and high possible production to-
gether and nothing in the whole range
of agriculture is richer in suggestion
to the farmer.
In the eleventh census every county
in Tennessee but one reported some
sheep, Wilson county leading with &c.
500 and Bedford county second with
$3.50; Maury, Williamson. Lincoln
and Sumner counties following. each
having over 10000. Obion county led
West Tennessee in sheep production
with 1868 and Hawkins headed the
list of East Tennessee counties with
10,654. The total number OF sheep In
the state was 795,033.
Wilson county farmers got eleven
and a half cents a pound for lambs
sold in May.
These lambs were raised largely on
the fall
sown fields and crimson clover. In
the case Of the grain the fields were
not pastured close enough to interfere
materially with the grain crop. The

crimson clover can be followed by a

a small grain ration.
