One of the commonest mistakes is to allow what the farmer calls the "grass shrink" to occur. This means that the cattle have been allowed to remain on pasture until the grass is so short, or on account of fall rains the late growth is so immature and washy, that the animals shrink decidedly in weight. It is a uni- versally good practice to supplement the pastures with some sort of feed the moment they become so short as to fail to maintain at least the weight of the animal. It is better to adopt the policy of feeding the animals the moment the pasture ceases to produce good gains. Another common mistake is the turning of cattle to pasture too early in the spring when the grass is yet soft and washy and con- tains really very little nourishment. It is bad both for the stock and for the pasture. r^-. ^0 Fig. 9. Harvesting pure-bred corn on the Agricultural College Farm for the silo.
