Peas  and  Oats  With  Corn  Silage 
Will  putting  green  oats  and  peas  in 
silo,  and  then  putting  corn  on  the  oats, 
spoil  the  oats  and  peas?  n.  s. 
New  York. 
There  is  no  objection  to  putting  the  corn 
silage  into  the  silo  previously  partially 
filled  with  oats  and  peas,  provided  that 
the  latter  are  keeping  all  right.  The 
Teal  concern  is  about  the  “conduct”  of 
the  oats  ' and  peas.  As  they  are  hollow- 
stalked,  they  carry  an  over  amount  of 
air  into  the  pits,  and  how  to  expel  it. 
herd,  and  an  ani,mal  that  has  an  ances¬ 
try  on  both  sides  for  several  generations 
of  advanced  daily  performance.  As  but- 
terfat  is  now  actually  the  criterion  of 
worth  in  breeding,  ,T.  Q.  will  ascertain 
what  the  test  pounds  per  week  in  fat 
of  all  the  dams  and  gronddams  possible, 
and  average  the  results,  possibly  21 
pounds  a  week.  Then  this  would  repre¬ 
sent  the  concentrated  dairy  power  of 
transmission  by  the  sire.  If  .J,  (Vs  herd 
will  average  12  pounds  a  week  of  fat, 
then  the  possibility  of  the  sire’s  influence 
must  come  in  here.  Now  the  first  crop 
of  heifers  will  be  half  of  the  blood  of  the 
sire,  and  wilh  it  goes  bis  superior  dairy 
influence,  but  as  the  dam’s  side,  whether 
purebred  or  grade,  is  represented  by  a 
half  interest,  and  nine  pounds  lower  in¬ 
fluence,  the  gap  of  nine  pounds  between 
in

is  the  problem,  so  to  prevent  undue  fer¬ 
mentation  and  molding  of  the  silage.  If 
the  silo  is  only  partially  filled,  it  is 
doubtful  if  their  own  weight  would  be 
sufficient  to  do  this  properly.  If  the 
corn  silage  could  be  put  on — which  it 
cannot  bo — at  the  time  of  filling  in  the 
oats  aud  peas,  there  would  be  no  per¬ 
plexities.  If  the  oats  have  not  kept  well 
it  might  be  an  after  injury  to  the  corn 
silage.  If  the  iuquirer  has  a  way  by 
which  he  can  temporarily  weight  the  oats 
and  peas,  it  would  be  of  much  advantage. 
The  latter  should  be  run  through  a  cut¬ 
ter  into  the  pits,  as  the  mass  would  set¬ 
tle  more  compactly  and  keep  correspond¬ 
ingly  better.  J-  o. 
Breeding  Up  a  Herd 
1  am  an  embryo  Holstein  man.  I  have 
one  heifer  that  gave  me  12341  pounds 
milk  in  11%  months,  since  dropping  her 
first  calf  on  two  milkings  a  (lay,  and  will 
drop  her  second  calf  13  months  after  the 
first  one.  She  finally  consented  to  he  dry 
about  live  weeks  and  will  soon  drop  the 
second  calf  with  an  immensely  better  and 
bigger  udder  than  before.  How  would 
you  advise  me  in  breeding?  J.  o. 
Carlisle,  Pa.

the  two  will  not  be  crossed  at  a  step,  but 
will  be  helped  up  with  a  substantial 
gain,  and  J.  O.  will  notice  at  once  that:  a 
well-bred  sire  is  a  groat  deal  more  than 
half  of  the  herd.  It  is  claimed  that  much 
can  he  done  in  developing  a  heifer  be¬ 
fore  her  first  calf  by  good  care  and  lib- 
oral  feeding  of  the  milk-producing  foods 
to  strengthen  the  milk-producing  glands. 
J.  O.  will  breed  this  first  heifer  back 
to  her  own  si, re,  and  the  second  crop  of 
heifers  will  now  be  75  per  cent,  of  the 
blood  of  the  sire,  and  only  one-fourth  of 
the  blood  on  the  original  dam’s  side  to 
assert  its  influence.  It  is  argued  that 
this  21  pounds  influence,  will  still  be  all 
the  more  marked,  aud  a  third  breeding 
back  begins  to  raise  yet  higher  the  milk 
and  fat  yields,  and  J.  O.  should  begin 
to  look  for  cows  when  somewhat  mature, 
that  will  be  in  the  800  fat  lists,  and 
20,000  mi.lk  yields  and  even  better.

There  is  probably  a  Hinman  user  only  a  few
