The best method of feeding is to pre pare in the morning enough feed for two meuls, mixing the cut straw , si lage and pulped roots together in a pile in the feed room adjoining the stable.

After that time the mangers may be cleaned A little long hay may be given 1 out. Immediately after the morning and evening feed or at noon. Have the in lervals between feeds of equal length In ease of heavy milkers, where they ure milked more than twice a day, tbej should be fed after each milking. Salt should alw ays be before then) A lump of rock salt may be kept in the manger. It makes them drink more, n desirable thing, and mnkes the cream easier to churn. Some cows have the habit of chew ing bones, wood. etc. Give them a small handful of fine hardwood nshes In the feed tw o or three tim es a week Such a habit denotes a lack of mineral matter. Cows on good grass do not need any grain unless in exceptional cases where a record Is to tie made. Sometimes just a pint or tw o of meal put In the m anger Is a good bait to bring the cows willingly from the pasture to the stable to lie milked. When they are on the rich, fresh grass of early sum mer, which Is very laxative, a little cottonseed meal may be given as a corrective The meal will Improve the butter by adding firmness. A change of pasture Is good both for the pasture and the cows. If there Is no shade In the pasture the cows should. If possllde. lie kept Indoors during the hottest hours of the day. Bring them In nt noon and give them a feed of silage or meal, then turn them out after the evening milking. W here most dairym en need to Im prove Is In providing food for the cows when the pasture gets short and dry. A small silo to open for sum m er feed Ing Is coming much in vogue and tak ing the place of a soiling crop. Any change from one food to another should lie gradual. A few apples may be safely given, but if fed in large quantities they will give a peculiar flavor to the milk Sour apples are supposed to have a tenden cy to dry up the milk. When potatoes are cheap and plentiful they may be fed to cows, but are more profitable when boiled and given to pigs. Car* rots appear to exercise a specific ac tion on the milk glands and cause an Increased secretion of milk. Cows are very fond of cabbage. If the cabbage Is sound and a limited am ount fed after milking, no aerious objection ta found to the milk. In feeding all auch foods care m us| be taken or the milk will be off flavored.

For a herd of twenty-five cows a round silo fifteen feet inside dinmeter and thirty feet high would be about right, or it may be 12 by 40. This size will hold a little more than a hundred tons, which allows four tons of silage per cow, which is about right. Im p o r t a n c e o f Srtage. The kind of corn to grow for filling the silo will depend on the locality. To avoid frost early m aturing varieties should be selected. When to cut is an im portant question. B etter to have the corn a little over ripe than on the green side. One may begin feeding as soon after the silo is filled as is desired. Good silage has a not unpleasant acid Btnell, s slightly sweetish, fermented taste and should be a brownish green color and free from rot or mold. If a portion of the silage around the silo becomes frozen It Is more of an In convenience than a loss. It should be mixed with that from the center of the silo to allow It to thaw before being fed.
