Preserve Dairy Feed
By Building Silo
Silage Is a succulent feed, a good
grass substitute, and will keep up
the milk flow when pastures are
short In summer and when green
feed is scarce In winter.
"A well constructed silo provides
the most economical source of
dairy feed available for the man
with a herd of ten or more cow.;,"
says John A. Arev, dairy extension
specialist at State college. "One
acre of good corn preserved in the
form of silage has a milk-produc
ing value equivalent to about one
and one-half acres when preserved
in the form of shocked corn. There
Is a waste of about 50 percent In
shocked corn when fed as stover.
However, when corn 13 converted
Into silage, waste at feeding time
Is practically eliminated and the
entire corn plant Is consumed with
relish by the cows."
Silage Is also a valuable supple
ment to dry feed in winter and
helps to keep up the milk flow at
a comparatively low cost. It is also
economical for feeding dry cows
and heifers above six months of
itgc, says Arey.
He docs not recommend a silo for
a herd of less than ten cows. Suc
culent feed for smaller herds may
be provided by pasture and soiling
crops In summer, with the aid of
root crops In winter.
Tlte cash value of a silo was
proven some years ago by a farm
survey made in Wisconsin, says
Arey. There were 531 farms studied
and on 390 oC these where silos were
In use, the net Income per farm
was $340 more than on the 141
farms where no silos were in use
Mr. Arey offers the help of his of
fice to any dairyman desiring to
building a silo.
Sheep Have Place In
Carolina Farming
Landowners seeking sources of
additional income and a market
place for surplus forage and other
fcedstuffs may turn to sheep on
the farm flock basis.
"Farm flocks of sheep may be
put In to advantage particularly
in eastern North Carolina where
there are few sheep at present,"
suggests John E. Foster, animal
husbandman at State college. “The
low price of cotton, damage by boll
weevil and the need for more bal
anced farming methods is already
causing many alert farmers In this
section to add a few sheep. There
are few farm.? on which there Is
not some waste land, soma pasture
or some extra forage crops which
may be used to advantage In feed
ing sheep"
Foster says the native ewe iambs
may be crossed with pure bred
rams to build up the flocks to
where the lambs will be heavier
than their dams. These cross-blood
ed lambs will also have better qual
ity wool and a closer conformation
to type. Farm flocks developed In
this way may provide spring lambs
for sale to the nearby markets fur
nished by the large cities of the
East.
Sheep fit in well on any general
farm, believes Mr. Foster. They
glean from the fields that which
would otherwise be wasted and
they keep many injurious weeds
under control. In eastern Carolina
the flocks may be grazed through
out the year by turning them on
cover crops after the summer pas
turage has ceased to furnish suffi
cient grazing.
A good ram and a flock of na
tive ewes may soon be turned into
a profitable investment on any
Carolina farm, believes Mr. Foster.
Cattle Feeding Pay*
Carolina Farmers
_
Two former New Jersey farmers
bought residences and settled down
in retirement in Craven county,
near New Bern, two years ago.
Sensing good possibilities in it,
they bought 400 acres of cut-over
land last fall. There were no im -
provements. They turned the place
into immediate use by importing
from Waynesvtlle, 40 head of feed
er cattle. These they fattened and
sold at a good profit, although they
jhad to buy feed and prices were
low. Now they have erected a big
bam and are growing feed, most of
it on rented land, pending the get
ting enough of their own land in
condition to plant They are going
to feed 100 head of cattle this win
ter. The two men are brothers, W.
H. and R. 8. Francisco, and have
worked as partners 41 years.
"We are getting along in years."
says W. H. Francisco, the oldest
“But for that, I think we’d make a
lot of money feeding and even rais
ing cattle down here where all the
conditions are good. We went into
it Just to have something to do. I
am surprised that more of it isn't
done around here."
The Franciscos specialized in live
stock production when farming in
New Jersey.

Brandied Peaches
Are Not Illegal?
Sheriff Clamp Of Anderson Gives
Some Information Regarding
The Law.
Sheriff Clamp, of Anderson, thus
discour red on brandied peaches and
home made wines to a reporter for
The Mall:
"Brandied peaches are made by
peeling the fruit, placing engar
over them and then sealing the
mixture in an air-tight container.
After a few weeks the peaches will
have been transformed into an un
usually fine variety of pickle, while
the juice therefrom is a pleasant,
although perfectly legal beverage.
"Peach brandy, on the other hand
is only one step removed from corn
liquor Itself. The peaches are al
lowed to ferment, much the same
as corn or rye to be used for the
same purpose, and Just at the right
moment the mash Is distilled. The
result Is a variety of contraband
liquor.”
ine iitsi oi me two cuncucuuns,
the sheriff added, may be made for
home consumption freely and with
in the law, however persons who
feel inclined to experiment with the
stronger drink will be subject tq ar
rest and imprisonment in case they
are detected, just the same as any
other violator of the dry laws.
Sheriff Clamp suggested the ex
tensive use of the bumper peach
crop for making brandied peaches,
although issuing a warning against
the latter method of utilizing the
surplus fruit.
Sheriff Clamp further stated that
any variety of wine, up to five gal
lons, provided it is made for medici
nal purposes, Is perfectly legal.
