THE VALUE OF OAT HAY
The point I wish to make to-day
regard to the oat-crop Is that if pro-
perly handled it is one of the most
valuable forage crops on the farm. It
should be cut 20 as to save the fodder
in a green state, similar to the saving
of corn fodder. You will perhaps not
get as much oats, but you will get a
fodder that is quite valuable. This
should take the place of timothy hay,
a crop that I have yet been unable to
see any good reason for growing on
dry, rolling lands. Where you have
low, meist land, that is too wet for
corn, timothy may be perfectly grown,
but it is not a valuable crop when you
consider the room it occupies.
it is popular with city people who
buy hay, but the economic farmer will
find there is very little difference be-
tween a ton of timothy hay and a ton |
of well-cured corn fodder, and a very |
little difference between a ton of
timothy hay and a ton of oat straw cut |
at the right time. We must study all
these economies. We must abandon |
crops that are not absolutely profita-
ble and utilize everything that can be |
saved in a more valuable conditi
TM oat crop should probably have
more consideration than has yet been |
given to it. It does not lack much of |
being a perfect ration for man and!
beast. In the Winter time sheaf oats
cut in a green state in the field and |
fed with cornmeal make quite an ac- |
ceptable ration for any of the farm
apimals—the horse or the ruminant.
The farmer is not likely to grow too
much oats where the horse, the dairy
cow and the young animals are consid.
