CROPS FOR SPECIAL FARM PRACTICES 



Soiling crops for Pennsylvania (Watson and Mairs) 



Crops for partial soiling for Illinois during midsummer (Fraser) 



Succession of soiling crops for dairy cows for Wisconsin (Carlyle) 



Remarks. Feed in stable during day and turn cows on pasture at night, or feed carefully 

 in the pasture, spreading the forage. After cutting rye, use same ground for the rape, flint 

 corn, and sorghum, and after cutting peas and oats, use same ground for evergreen sweet corn 

 and rape. After oats, sow peas and barley. In this way a single acre only is required 

 (except alfalfa, which is permanent), and the forage produced ia ample succulent feed for 

 ten cows for nearly half, the year.
