THE BUSINESS OF DAIRYING 



Remarks. — Feed in stable during day and turn 

 cows on pasture at night, or feed 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 is ample amount of good succu- 

 lent feed for ten cows for nearly half a year.
