Soiling Crops for Cows 
I have eight nice Jerseys and pasture 
for say May and June. Will you give 
me the proper amount of acreage to sow 
or plant for soiling crops for the four 
months of July, August, September and 
October, and what crops? I have no silo. 
I grow plenty of nice clover hay for Win¬ 
ter fodder, purchase all grain feed. 
Vermont. W. M. 
The growing of soiling crops is an ex¬ 
pensive method of providing succulence 
for dairy cows. Labor costs are greatly 
increased and dairymen have found from 
experience that where silage could not be 
provided in sufficient quantity to main¬ 
tain the herd through both Summer and 
Winter, it was desirable to use beet pulp 
as a succulence, and to rely on grain and 
selected roughages to provide the ration. 
However, there are three outstanding 
soiling crops. The first is oats and peas. 
The mixture desirable consists of equal 
parts of oats and Canada field peas, by 
measure, seeded early in the Spring at 
the rate of three bushels per acre. Seed¬ 
ing should be made 10 days or two weeks 
apart, so that the crop can be harvested 
as it reaches the desired maturity. Seed- 
ings can be made as late as the first of 
June. If perchance the oats and peas are 
not fed up before they reach the unpal¬ 
atable matured stage, they can be mowed 
and cured as hay and will provide an ex¬ 
cellent roughage for Winter feeding. 
Alfalfa likewise provides a splendid 
forage crop. It can be cut in 30-day peri¬ 
ods, the first cutting being usually avail¬ 
able around about Decoration Day. 
Corn, either sweet or the ordinary field 
variety, supplements oats and peas and 
Alfalfa most advantageously. The earlier 
varieties of sweet corn can be seeded in 
successive periods. Oftentimes the corn 
can be harvested and sold and the stalks 
cut for feeding purposes. The oats and 
peas can be thrashed and used in the 
grain mixture. Enough corn should be 
provided so that the peas and oats and 
the corn can be used as the basis for the 
grain ration. 
In determining the amount necessary 
for eight cows, let us assume that mature 
cows will require about 75 lbs. of the 
green feed per day during July, August, 
September and October. The Alfalfa can 
be relied upon to provide the first succu¬ 
lence during July and August. The oats 
and peas will likewise supplement the 
Alfalfa during this latter period, but the 
question of harvesting them as far north 
as Vermont during this season of the 
year must be reckoned with. Assuming 
that the area will produce the equivalent 
of two tons of hay to the acre, the fol¬ 
lowing acreage would provide the neces¬ 
sary feed for the eight head of animals 
during the season, with the assumption 
that some purchased grain must be used 
to supplement the feed during the entire 
season: Eight acres of oats and peas, 
five acres of Alfalfa, one acre of sweet 
corn, 12 acres of field corn. 
We believe that if the herd of cows 
could be increased to 12 or 15 head, and 
enough grain produced so that Summer 
silage could be provided during the entire 
season, with the exception of the months 
of May and June, your labor problem 
would be solved and your profits covering 
the entire period materially increased.

Injured Cow 
We have a cow with a large lump on 
her right hind leg, on the outside, a little 
more than half way down, between the 
rump and knee. It does not seem to hurt 
her or bother in any way. It has been 
there possibly two weeks and in the last 
two days it seems larger. I thought at 
first it was a sprain from slipping in 
mud. M. c. 
Ohio. 
It is likely that the cow strained her¬ 
self when entering the barn, the result of 
which was evidenced by the swelling of 
the hock. Clipping the hair and painting 
the area with iodine will no doubt correct 
this condition. Put the cow in a box 
stall, heavily bedded, where she can lie 
down without undue effort. Frequent 
bathing with hot saline solutions will aid 
in removing the inflammation,
