Corn is the most serviceable crop for ensilage, but though ever so well preserved as to succulence, odor and flavor, it is an incom- plete feed for cattle, being deficient in albuminoids or protein (the flesh formers), as well as fat. This deficiency has hitherto been supplied by feeding, in addition to the corn, silage, grain, such as oats, wheat, etc., grown on the farm, or the purchase of con- centrated feeds, such as meal, oil cake, or some other commodity, rich in the elements in which corn silage is deficient. But the Ameri- can farmer can now, by the aid of the Soja or Soy Bean, grow on his own farm, at small cost, a combination which furnishes a wholesome, economical and com- plete feed for milch cows. This combination is composed of two parts corn or millet to one part Soja Beans, grown separately, but mixed, when filled in the silo. It may be mixed in these proportions, at the time of cutting and filling of the silo, care being taken to mix thoroughly. The combination ensilage develops a most agree- able aromatic odor, and i > greedily relished by cattle—both dairy cows and fattening stock. It is a complete, balanced ration, and when generally used (as it certainly will be by all up-to-date farmers and dairymen), it will revolutionize the dairy industry of the United States. We do not recommend the feeding of this combination to the entire exclusion of grain or other concentrated feed. We recommend that grain be fed occasionally as a change, but four- fifths of the grain bill can be saved. We recommend all farmers to plant this year at least an acre or two of the Soja Beans, to test and prove for themselves the value of the combination, and we are confident that, thereafter, all who try it will each year grow a larger acreage.
