DAIRY cows DURING WINTER
Winter MIX Will Bring Farmer About
One-Third More Per Quar- Than
During Summer Season.

The production of milk is now quite
a different proposition from what it
was in summer. Winter milk will gem
orally bring the farmer about one
third more per quart than in summer.
To Offset this, it costs lot more to
produce it, Winter milk can be pro-
duced at a profit where the producer
is as far away as 200 miles from mar
ket, but to do it the producer cannot
go at it in haphazard, slipshod way.
He must thoroughly inform himself
as to the actual cost of milk. He must
keep a correct account of each item
expended. There must be charged
against the COW the amount Of hay,
silage, roots and feed she consumes, at
the fair market value. Each COW
should be credited with the amount Of
milk she produces, at market prices,
and then feed and care. for, the COWS.

Is dropped in front of the roosts.
When this is down the hens are IN
closed in a tiny room, 10 by feet,

The windows are covered with one

sILAGE MAKES A BIG SAVING
Among Other Advantages succulent
Feed IS Available Whole Year
Keeps Up Milk Flow.

A dozen of the more common ad-
vantages Of silage are: Succulent
feed is available the whole year. The
digestive system of the, live stock is
kept in good condition during the
winter months and the animals look
like grass-fed stock. Silage produces
cheaper and better beef or mutton, in
creases the milk flow about ten per
cent. Corn stored as silage eliminates
the 80 to rs per cent loss of feeding
value Of stalks left standing in the
field, or the 25 per cent loss when left
In the shock. All parts Of the plant
are made palatable.
More feeding value is concentrated
in less space than with any other
coarse feed Silage is beneficial for
growing animals. 1t produces bone
and meat and creates appetite.
SiIage keeps up the milk flow when
pastures are short and flies bad and
during the winter months. The feed
ration is cheapened end made more
.palatable by the use OF silage. Silage
can be cut and stored regardless Of
weather conditions. More live rtock
can be kept on the farm where the
silo is found. hence bigger profits and
more fertile soil.
Silage is the most conveniently han
died of all coarse feeds. The saving
of the corn crop over the old method
of handling corn, coupled with in
creased profits by using it in the ra-
ton, will pay for silo in one year.

PREPARE CORN FOR PLANTING
Uniformity in Shape and Size Of Ker-
neIs Necessary for Accurate Work
of the Planter.

It is best to shell seed corn by
hand The tip and butt grains should
be discarded, since uniformity in
shape and size of the kernels is nee
essary for accurate work of the
planter.
To still further increase the efi-
cheney of the planter. it is well to se-
lect ears that are uniform in size and
shape of kernel.
The planter should be adjusted to
each grade or size of kernels to in
sure an even stand in the field, since
this is one Of the most important fac
tors in the production of large yield.
