Now that nearly all the first
and second cutting hay is stored
in the barns, haw many of you
took time out to send a forage
sample into the foiage testing
666
664
661
laboiatoiy for nutritious analy-
661
sis’ This would be an excellent
g-y time to secure a kit from your
DHIA supervisor and collect a
656 sample Mail it in right now and
632 within a short period of tune
the results will be in your hands.
656 Also, these results will be very
6gg helpful to the dairy specialists
in making feed recommendations
053 for you on the monthly reports
639 you are receiving back on the
farm.
652 * * *
650 Beware of the poor pasture
648 areas for poisonous weeds Cows
052 normally do not eat these un
-007 palatable herbs; this usually
occurs when they are hungry
651 and have nothing else to graze
609 on If you have a situation of
this nature eradicate these ob«
noxious weeds or keep the cows
049 off this area of pasture and sup
plement their roughage with
648 barn or dry-lot feeding.
* * *
648 can you cut down on the milk-
R4fi mg chore time’ A good guide
635 t 0 c^ time out for your
602 operation is that a person should
be able to milk ten cows per
645 unit per hour. If you are ex
-63- ceeding this time then you
should analyze your routine of
645 wor {j There are three major
643 things which may cause this ex
tra time. First too many units
643 P e r man, inadequate vacuum, or
too much machine stripping.
641 Upon washing the udder for
milking the machine should be
“36 placed on in a minute’s time and
OQo no later than three minutes. The
key to any milking is regularity,
t * *
636
Don’t forget cow comfort this
635 time of year. Flies certain!#
should be repelled as much as
possible. Provide shade and
goo plenty of good cold water. If
your shade is limited perhaps it
629 would be advisable to keep them
m the barn during intense sun
light and then graze in evening
hours; however, the animals
should be fed roughage while
in the barn.

August Seeding
625
The August seedings of al*
falfa and clover should be in
the planning stage If these
seedings are to be made this
summer, we advise the alfalfa
to be seeded the first week in
August and the red clover
around the middle to latter part
of the month. Straight spring
seedings are giving excellent
stands but if a summer seeding
is to be made, it should be done
in August. We suggest the use
of the band seeding method in
order to get a better stand. The
placing of a band of fertilizer
under the band of seeds and
then pressing the soil, seeds,
and fertilizer firmly should give
good results.
