In conversation- with a Feildilig "Star" reporter, a progressive dairyman from thu■; Beaconsficld district, statwi that the growing "of winter feed is becoming the universal practice amongst the dairymen of his district, and this is almost solely responsible lor the keeping up. of the supply of milk through the year. Oreen oars aiid hay, lie slates, are perhaps the best feed'to" grow—at least for the Beaconsfield district. The oats are sown to bo ready to feed to {he cows in early August, when they begin to come in. In some places tho oats grow to a height of six feel, but it is not recommended that they should be allowed to get to that height, because the feed becomes too coarse.
