You <an*t Tell 'Em Like This » tTse A; Want Ad <*» BY UNCLE BOB J of the Kraft Dairy Farm Service Making More Silage Now Will Help Build Your Milk Profits Fom what I’ve seen of the country side this summer, in quite a few states, it looks to me like a silo is going to be a most important part of keeping cows filled and milk checks fatter in the next few months. Crops which usually are counted on to provide supplement feed didn’t do t(*> well in many places and there’s a chance that fyigh protein feeds are not going to be plentiful Hay produced well in some areas, but was rather poor in other spots. Some of the early cuttings were held up past the right stage because, of rain. All In all, Silage can be a big factor In your own dairy program during the winter. You’ve still got time to get more silage put away; get temporary silos built and get set to do the right kind of a feeding Job to hold your milk volume higher. Of course, com still stands out as the best crop for silage, but late cuttings of hay, late planted soy beans, pasture combinations, and various grasses and legumes will provide high quality feed, if ensiled with a good preservative. You can even get some good out Of com stalks after husking, by using a high quality preservative such as molasses or com and cob meal, so the extension men tell me. It isn’t the best feed in the world, but it will help if you are short Most all Ae extension service* have separate bulletins on sUage making and leading, and I Imagine your county agent can •apply you with a copy.

MILK CARE MEANS MORE MILK CASH If you remember your Alice in Wonderland, you’ll recall that the Mad Hatter was pretty much put out because the March Hare u:ed butter to oil his watch. Didn’t seem the right way to treat a fine piece of machinery—or a good dairy product. Any high quality product deserves only the best of care, of course. If you expect to get ail the good out of it. It's as true of milk as anything I know. In all but a very few rare cases these days, the quality of milk when it leaves the cow Is godd. What happens to the milk from that point on is up to us. It will con tinue to be high quality when it reaches your dairy plant and when the finished product reaches thecoo sumer, if its quality is guardeM -at every step along the line. There’s a good demand- for dairy products now and there’s no reason
