150 AGRICULTURE. 



Corn and clover are most often used in mak- 

 ing silage. Silage is recommended not only as 

 an excellent food for the dairy cow and for 

 sheep, but it forms a good substitute for oats as 

 a food for fattening cattle. It should constitute 

 from two-thirds to three-fourths of the rough- 

 age for cows; alfalfa, clover, or cow-peas consti- 

 tuting the remainder of the coarse food.
