To carry cows over a period of
short pasture without a falling off in
milk, soiling crops are growing in
favor. .For this purpose second
growth red clover, alfalfa, oats, or
peas, are excellent. Corn is also avail
able in August and September. What
may be a disadvantage in the use of
soiling crops is. the extra labor re
quired to .cut and haul these crops
from day to day, especially if held
work is pressing..
On high-priced, land, where the
problem is to produce a sufficient
quantity of roughage, or if the cost
of pasturing is excessive, the summer
silo may be used to advantage. Ajj
acre of corn in the form of silage wiu
provide succulent roughage for sev
eral cows for a season. During per
iods of drouth, when both pastures
and soiling crops fail, a silo filled with
well-matured silage grown the previ
ous year is most valuable.
In planning a summer silo, it should
be kept in mind that its diameter
should be in relation to the number ot
cows fed daily. As a general rule,
under summer conditions, a cow "1
consume about 20 pounds of j siiaRc.
Silnrr nmirh must be removed CttUy
to prevent excessive surface fcrmen
tation. On this basis, a summer silo
for 20 coVs should be 8 feet in i diame
ter; forv30 cowsr10 feet; and for
cows, 12 feet. As 8 feet is about the
minimum diameter for stlo for M
results', i iummer silo is most app
