Cow peas are also good for hog pasture, but just as good for the silo, mainly because they pack in better than soy beans. The peas should be drilled in the corn rows Just as the beans were. One-half bushel per acre, at a cost of $3 per bushel, will make a good stand and cause very little trouble in cultivating the corn. The best variety is the Whipporwill. When cut with the corn binder they are in Just as good a stage as the corn to make good silage. The value of a crop of this sort is the increase of protein which the peas and beans carry. Corn carries the fattening properties, but these add much and If put in the silo we should remember that the old cow does not need 35 or 40 pounds next winter, but five pounds less will answer her requirements. Also less gluten feed and less oil meal will need to be bought.
