soiling CROPS FOR dairy CAT
TUB.
CU nison Extension . \y?rk?Article
i.xxi.
A first class dairy cow inherits the
ability to convert large quantities of
food into milk. The qualty of the
milk, as regards the per cent, of fat,
depends upon the breed and the in?
dividuality of the cow; but the
amount of milk and butter given will
depend largely upon the amount and
charac ter of feed supplied.
In the sections of the country
where grass is abundant there is lit?
tle need of other feed during the
summer except in periods of drought;
but wherever tl e pastures are poor,
as most of them are in this State, the
dairyman will find it profitable to
supplement them with soiling crops.
In the sandy land 'sections of the
State whete it is difficult to make
good pastures, dairymen should not
be discouraged, as they can easily pro?
duce as much milk per acre from soil?
ing crops as from mass, and in most
cases more.
In managing a dairy farm in thi?
State an ideal plan would be to put
the parts of the farm unsuited for
cultivation in grass and to provide as
much soiling crops in addition as may
be required. It is advisable to have
the soiling crops grown as near the
place of feeding as possible, and the
amount to Se grown will be govern?
ed by the size of the herd.
The following crops have proven
very satisfactory at Clemson College
and can be grown sueceasfully in
every part of the State. Oats and
vet* h sown in September at the rate
of two bushels of oats and one-half
bushel of vetch per acre will furnish
grazing during the dry weather of the
winter, from December II to March
IS, without lessening the yield of hay
or grain. This crop can be cut and
fed daily during the spring before
grass i< available, or can be cut for
bay or jjrain about June 1. As soon
as the crop IS off. the land is plowed
and sown in sorghhm and COWpeaS in
dribs, about one-half bushel of Sor?
thum and one-half bushel of rowpeas
being used per acre. This crop is
ready to feed In August and Sep?
tember when tbe p stures are usually
