The importance of succulent feed is well illustrated by the yield of a herd in the St. Prosper, Que. Association. On J1iuo 51(1 the yield of 11 cows was 280 lbs. of milk; they had been on dry feed and pastures were backward, At a mod- erate estimate that herd could easily have given 1,200 ahs, more mill: during the lnolth, if succulent feed had been 'i,Initable. What applies here applies to hundreds of other herds. There would he an enormous increase in the general flow of milk and a vast improvement in 0110 dairy herds if provision were made for green or soiling crops, ensilage and snecnlelt feed generally to tide over beet:ward seasons and dry hot spells.
