Best and Cheapest Way
to Maintain Dairy Herd

The problem of what Is the best
and cheapest way to maintain herd
OF dairy cows is always before the
man who produces milk. Il Is prac-
tically impossible to give a standard
set Of rules which will apply IN all
cases. The method used In main
tainlng a herd must largely be de-
termined by the Individual, recognize
Ing the contributing factors.
A dairy herd may be maintained
by continued purchase OF mature anil
mails to replace those whose period
Of usefulness has passed There are
many conditions under which this may
be a wise practice. II 1t is desirable
TO have the whole herd composed Of
COWS in their full productive capac-
lty; II there is abundant opportunity
for selection and purchase near at
hand; II there is reasonably good
market for cows that are undesirable,
and II one has reasonable skill In
and good ability in bar
gaining, q herd OF high-prOductive
may be more easily and more
sheapiy maintained Ia this way than
~ attempting to raise young animals
o replace those that are wornout.

PLANT SOY BEANS
WITH CORN CROP

The combination OF corn and soy
beans for sIlage produced an average
increase or approximately one ton
Of green forage. or 500 pounds Of
dry matter per acre. as compared
with corn alone. IN four years OF ex-
perlments conducted by the agrlcul-
tural experiment station at Storrs,
Conn. The amount Of additional
protein per acre supplied by the ad-
dition Of soy beans was figured as
equivalent to 500 pounds OF 40 per
cent cotton seed meal.
The largest total yields OF grain and
dry matter under Connecticut condi-
lions were produced by growing one
stalk Of corn to three OF beans In ev-
cry u inches of the row. Drilling the
corn and soy beans proved decidedly
better than planting both In the same
hill, or planting the beans between the
stalks OF corn. Eighteen different va
rleties Of soy beans were tried and
the best variety was a stiff-stemmed,
tall. large yielding variety.
which will have its pods two-thirds
filled when the corn is ready to be cut
One question which has been ar
gued a good deal is whether or not
the planting Of soy beans with the
corn increases the nitrogen content
Of the corn crop the same season. No
such increase was noted In these
studies.
II was considered not desirable to
yrow soy beans alone and corn alone,
mixing the two as they are put into
he siIo. Growing them together as
! silage combination added a value
4 approximately $40 per acre to the
ilage crop.
