On the other hand, pastures also suffer if grazed while wet. The place of soilage on American farms.—It has been shown pre- viously in this chapter that silage is a more economical means of supplying succulent feed in summer than is soilage. On farms where too few animals are kept to prevent the molding of the surface of the silage as it is fed off in summer, or where a silo is not available, soilage should be provided to prevent the usual midsummer shrinkage in milk.
