FARMING FOR PROFIT
VALUE OF ENSILAGE Hay and ensilage forms, as it were, tlie sinking fund in a farmers’ business, to be drawn on in time of scarcity and want. Such periods are always to be met with, and it is the wise farmer who harvests his surplus crops in time of plenty and stores them for use during the lean months. The object of the farmer is to turn over his expenditure on manures quickly by getting the outlay back with a profit by the bigger yield of the crop, and, therefore, the modern farmer uses spring fertilisers that act on the crop rather than those kinds which become available slowly. He does not farm for posterity hut for prompt profit.
