FARMERS' MONTHLY OF HAMPSHIRE COUNTY 



A Business Bank for 



Business Farmers 



This is a message for business 

 farmers — for those progressive 

 crop and cattle raisers who know 

 that to get profits from farming 

 there must be knowledge not only 

 of crops, but of markets, of prices, 

 of soil treatment, of other factors. 



This bank's primary object is to 

 help farmers of this section to pros- 

 per. Our complete banking facili- 

 ties and our dependable soui-ces of 

 information valuable to farmers are 

 at your disposal. 



We'll be glad to serve you.

 This large storage capacity makes it 

 possible for her to use roughages to ad- 

 vantage. Since digestible nutrients are 

 cheaper in roughage than in grain, the 

 cow should be fed all she will eat of the 

 most digestible roughages. On alfalfa 

 hay and good ensiliage, a Holstein cow 

 will give twenty pounds of milk per day 

 without any grain. After giving the cow 

 all the roughage she will eat, she should 

 be fed grain up to her productive capac- 

 ity.
