profits of the busi ness in the first place a proper crop rotation must be selected and such a choice of crops and methods of growing them made as shall tend to place every acre of the farm in a productive crop and give suitable variety for feeding in planning crop rotations it is safer to avoid growing crops of doubtful value that do not fit well into a fixed rotation a cv stan dard crops properly handled will prove more satisfactory than too wide a variety clover alfalfa corn and a small grain crop make an efficient and simple rotation some dairy farmers grow catch crops for soiling purposes but the better way is to carry over silage for cummer feeding and depend upon such fieid crops as oats peas green corn and alfalfa for soiling if we can get the soil favorable for the growth of clover alfalfa corn and small grain crops it is about all we can do to ward producing a balanced ration for dairy cattle and building up the soil without resorting to outside sources of supply by growing corn wheat clover or clover and timothy mixed a four- year rotation and seeding a part of the farm with alfalfa wo have a nearly ideal system of crop growing for a dairy farm some dairy farm ers omit timothy and practice a threeyear rotation which is all right if they have a field of alfalfa to de pend on in case the clover fails but as a general proposition it pays to aliow the land to remain in grass two years clover is a more active soil builder but the timothy thick ens the sod and furnishes more hum us and after all one is on the safe side when he has f a few acres of mixed meadow to depend upon in case the clover fails in harvesting and feeding these crops a large part of the corn crop should go into the silo and be fed out along with the clover or alfalfa hay such a roughage ration sup plemented with reasonable quantities of purchased concentrates will pro duce milk at a minimum cost and maintain the breeding stock and young cattle in condition to breed regularly
