DRY FEEDING CATTLE.

At the recent meeting OF the kRnka-

over that OF pasture for cattle says
the Orange Judd Farmer
T.. NJ Wright Of Manteno exhibited

been fed on silage. alfalfa hay aud
cotton seed and which had never run
on pasture In their lives. At the age OF

and too little cultivation. The farmer
who has been accustomed to regard a
shortage Of moisture as the chief cause
Of crop failure too often concludes that
irrigation will cure all ills and insure
large yields.
When the surface soil k kept wet the
temperatures are lowered by rapid
evaporation, and the result is slower
growth and delayed maturity. II culti-
yation be delayed until the surface soil
begins to bake and crack, roots are ex-
posed and cultivation may then be very
injurious.
Small corn plants do not require
large moisture supply. Early irriga-
tions stimulate an excessive growth Of
stalk. The large, sappy stalks usually
do not produce as much grain as those
normally developed and are less likely
TO reach maturity before fall frosts
occur.
On land that Is well cultivated and
kept free from weeds it Is usually un-
necessary to irrigate corn until about
the time the tassels and silks begin to
appear, A good supply OF water is
needed at this time, and irrigations are
Of much benefit to the plants in produc-
ing and developing ears. These irri-
cations should he thorough and follow
ed as soon as possible by cultivation.
I-rigating in burrows or shallow
bitches between the corn rows Is better
than flooding the whole surface and ai-
lowing the water to come In contact
With the cornstalks.
The number Of irrigations necessary
depends upon the type Of soil and the
amount Of moisture supplied by rain.
On average loan soils two or three ir-
ri.ations are usually sufficient. Late
irriyatiOns delay maturity.
