CALVES UMPRoFlTABLE.
Consume More Food In Milk Than They
Produce In Meat.

Veal calves from dairy cows gener-
ally lose money for their owners, and
when these calves are kept until
year old the loss Is even greater, Is the
information brought by cost account
records OF the Ohio agricultural expert
ment station for twenty-six herds.
The milk used To grow these calves Is
pften of more value as human food
than the veal produced.
In the twenty-siX dairy herds eight
cen owlers lost money on raising
calves for veal The average loss on
}23 veals was about $l.95 head The
Iverage loss on raising 36l calves In
thirty herds studied was $500 for the
drst year. Only five dairymen among
The thirty raised calves at a profit.
When dairymcn get high price for
milk they would he ahead by selling
calves rather than raising such AMI
mails for veal or beef The milk would
bring higher price for human food
han the veal produced from it. Pure
bred calves usually bring higher prices

'ases II is profitable 10 raise them.

SUMMER SILAGE CROPS.
Provision Should Be Made TO Tide Over
Scant Pasture Period.

Dairy farmers who have not already
made preparations for tiding cows over
the period OF insufficient pastures In
late summer and fall should not forget
that many cows went nearly dry last
July and August, says a Pennsylvania
Agricultural college bulletin. Such
conditions may be avoided and Incl
dentaily the dairymans bank account
strengthened by little forethougnt.
Maintaining the milk flow during the
period OF insufficient pasture may be
accomplished by feeding additional
grain, by feeding soiling crops and by
feeding siage.
Feeding soiing crops In addition to
the pasture secured by the cows helps
to maintain the i-ilk flow at moderate
cost. The objection to this method is
the labor and planning necessary In
planting and cutting such crops at the
proper time. Unless one has some 81
lage from last years feeding soiling
crops offer the most feasible feeding
plan for the coming summer.
The best, cheapest and most practi-
cal way to tide over short pastures is
to have an ample supply OF corn silage
Plan 10 have enough left over from
winter feeding to take care of the short
pasture period. This involves less la
Dor than soiling crops, and the feed is
handy and ready for use whenever
needed.
The summer silo should be rather
narrow In diameter so that the silage
may be fed at the rate OF three inches
daily TO prevent spoiiing.
Begin now to plan for corn acreage
sufficient To insure silage for next sum-
mer's feeding. Ii will keep well with
the exception of small amount on
top Put up an extra silo II needed.
In the meantime plant some soiling
crops for use this summer.

Growing Silago Corn.

Although planting corn four inches
apart In the row for silage has given
the greater yields, the Ohio agricul-
tural experiment station recommends
spacing the plants ten inches apart be-
cause Of greater convenience In han
ding the crop. AS a five year average
the four inch spacing has yielded
about two tons of green corn per acre
more than the thinner planting, but
the stalks are often so slender that
they fall easily In storms and are diff
cult to harvest when 30 crowded.
