SOILING FOR CATTLE. -
Soiling and Pasturing—The two S3'8-
' team Compared -:-The Advantage and
Profit Of Soiling.
The following essay,' taken from the
Woodstock Review, formed the address
of the President of the North Norwich
Farmers' Club, at a recent meeting of
that
Society. . The question of Soiling
beginningis
to attract a considerable de-
gree of attention from the intelligent
farming community, and. the following
address may be read with profit and in-
terest :
Every farming district has an agricul-
tural history of its own. In this we are
living in the era which111 ight be called
the dairy era. It is # wit d that part of
dairying which constitut s the feeding
of stock that we have to . eal to -night.
There are two systems a f stock -feeding
in vogue. One in which he cattle, &c.,
roam at large over the :fi kis, the -other
under which the. animal: are kept in
stables the year round, 'he feed being
brought to them. This 1 tter system is
called soiling. - For;the pre:: ent, however,
itois more convenient to omit the term
'soiling' to that time of the 'year in which
there is pasture auf icien , to keep eel
animal in good condition.
The advantages of so" ging, real and
apparent, over the system of pasturage
are many. In thinking of them many of
us look upon the system o ,pasturage as
a practice to be utterly do e away with.
Whether our predictions ill come true
or not, time alone can t ,I l•. However,
blind as we are as regards ' uture events,
we can discuss the subject, partly from
experience, partly - from hearsay, and
partly from our own idea . Knawing,
therefore, se little, practic Ily, about the
subject, wet shall often ha e recourse to
various stank dard works_
Mr. Stephens, in his "B

Charles W.. Diekerman, a t or of- the
latest American work on f rming, says,
"The experience ef every stock raiser
who has given, it -a trial:1es ifies that the
profit is at !east 4ouble.'" hue we have
too good authorities asserti g that soil-
ing gives double or nearl double the
profit that pasturing does Aa far as
our experience goes we ca say nothing
as regards the double pro t, therefore
we shall have to take the r statements
for granted until our kno ledge is in-
creased.
But let us take our own eas and pub
them with these seemingly extravagant
statements, tend follow the it up. The
first thing to be considereel i what would'
be necessary to. add to our present
practice to enable us to so I profitably,
and whaeM our present prac ice would be
unnecessary in soiling. •
The only things to be ded to our
present system are summer stabling and
more -hired 'help. I say sum er stabling,
because I do not remember o ever seeing
a winter stable which woul be suitable
or summer soiling. In' t s country,
here we think more of kee ling out the
cold of winter than the heat of summer,
we build bank -barns and, s ne stables.
he nearest approach to st bles which
ere warm in winter an were •also

g. The buildings are hig ,for being

he roof, while the generalit of stables

bove with our hands, if no our heads.
nother advantage his stabl s' have over
urs for soiling is, the buil ings are so
de that a horse and car can pass
hrough the feeding alley. ur feeding
lleys are se narrow that e have no
ore than -.room enough to pass along

increase in fertility. A fourth c nsiclere
atien is, that there will be a lar e extra
product of milk, butter, oe beef ; enough
to'pay for the labor of soiling."
To show the thing more clearly, let us
place the two systems under account as
well as we can. Let us suppose a farm
of 100 acres divided into six lots with
fifteen head of cattle, if pasturing; and
thirty, if soiling. Let also the average
value of the pastured co ws, milk be $30'
during the soiling period of five months,
whilst the milk of those under toiling
averages 835 the same length of time.
We will also suppose that the Value of
the manure stables is $500, whilst in ad-
dition to the usual amount of help we

for soiling, 4e will quote a few sentences
from the 'Fenner's Book.' "The crops

comes first, And is excellent to let the
