Crop rotation comes next in line, in order that green feed may be had as nmny months in the year as i» possible. Among the gri'en feeds are eonnted corn, clover, rye, vetch, alfalfa, cahtuige or kale. • These products are often relied u|>on solely for green fe<-«l, but the vetch and clov- or can be satisfactorily mixed with other forage plants that grow as rapid« ly. Oats ami vetch is a good eomhi- nation which yields great tonnage of green feed |«er acre where the con ditions are fsvorsble. In 11 class by itself stands the corn. It is known the worhi over to la-a green feed as well as later in the season to furnish the best material known for fattening purposes. After the early corn lias been used fur fod- tier the vetch falls in line and suppliis the gnvti food until the frosts kill it, sometimes there is in this section in« sulficient frost to kill the kslu there fore giviug excellent winter food which Ladies Weariug No 3 to 4 1-2 Shoes can get great bargains at Lanceficlds.
