LK R R R K XX +++++++++++-i--i-’++++++++++++++++++++: Chemical Composition and Feeding e Value of Clover and Timothy Hay. i ‘ H By Ralph Hoagland, Division of Agricultural Chemistry, Minne- : sota College of Agriculture. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Clover and timothy are the most widely grown of any of the grass crops of the Northwest, and there are probably very few farms in Minne- sota upon which one or the other is not grown. More often, clover and timothy and grown togetaer. There ought not to be a farm in Minnesota W which clover, or clover and tim- , &re not grown regularly in the rafation with grain and cultivated ofeps. ¥he common practice in growing wiese crops, is to seed down a mixture of clover and timothy with a grain o#op, barley, wheat, or oats. The next year the farmer cuts two crops of elover, and the second year a good of timothy is obtained. In the year, the timothy field ia often pastured, and the next year it is plewed for corn. When ciover is seaded alone, only two crops are cut, and the field is plowed the next year for corn, since clover is only an an- nwal plant. AH clover is usually fed on the farm, M being an excellent feed, especially for milch cows and young stock. A pest of the timothy is fed to horses, and possibly a part to other stock; and, if markets are convenient, some thmothy is usually sold, as it ordinarily betngs a good price upon the market. ¥ both clover and timothy are fed on the farm, the question arises, ‘Whidch kind of hay will give the best redurza either for milk or beef produc- #kon, or for growing stock? Clover usmally gives a larger number of tons per acre than timothy. If a ton of dover contains more food value thana ton of timothy, it certainly will not pay to raise timothy for feed, except possibly for horses. It would be prefitabe tr raise timothy for feed, as cempared with clover, only if the hay from an acre of timothy will have the esame feeding value as the hay from an acre of clover. Just a word of explanation regard- ing the terms used to express the re sults of chemical analysis and the vahue of the different classes of com- pounds for feeding purposes. Water—All plants, and even dry hay, contain water. has no food value. Dry Matter.—Hay is dried in an oven at 212 degrees F. The water is all driven off, leaving the dry matter, which contains all the food nutri- ents. Ash.—When the dry matter is burred, ash or mineral matter s left. This mineral matter is necessary for the formation of bone, the upbuilding of tissue, and in body fluids. Protein—This class of compounds, present in all plants, is very impor- tant, since it is necessary for the up- building of the tissue and muscle, and for all growth, and for the production of milk. Lean meat is nearly pure proteid, and casein of milk and white of egg are also proteids. Man or ani- mals cannot live without tood contain- ing proteid Carbohydrates—This class of com- pounds contains such substances as sugar and starch, which, when eaten, may be transformed inte fat which may be deposited in the body; or they may be oxidized with the production of heat or energy. Fattening animals require a diet containing a large amount of carbohydrates. This class of compounds cannot be used for the upbuilding of tissue, or alone for the production of milk. An animal fed on carbohydrates alone would starve and die. The water in hay Fat.—The fat found in plants is sim- | ilar to animal fat, such as lard, butter- fat, etc. When extracted, it usually contains some impurities, however. Fat is used in the body for the produc- tion of heat or energy, or may be stored up in the body as fat. Crude Fiber.—This consists chiefly of celluose or woody material which makes up the framework of plants. It is not readily digestible, and hence has a low food value. The following table shows the com- position of clover hay from a number of localities in Minnesota. Since the percentage of moisture in different samples of hay varies greatly, the composition is determined on the dry matter basis.

The results found in this table show the relative feeding values of clover and timothy hay. Clover contains over twice as much digestiole protela, and considerably more digestible fat and carbohydrates, than timothy bay. Clover is especially suited for young stock and milch cows, while timothy iy more used as food for horses. Tim- othy is too expensive for general stock feeding, since the same amount of nu- trients can be purchased in other feeds for less money. All Named Alike. A certain Lord Westmoreland fell in love with the daughter of Child, the rich banker, who, however, would not hear of the match. The lovers in spite of this met secretly and kept their love alive, while Child complacently con- gratulated himself that his daughter had forgotten her whilom lover. One day, meeting Child in a club, Lord ‘Westmoreland said, “What would you do if, like my friend, you were in love with a lady and her father refused his consent to allow them to marry?” “Why, run away <with her, of course,” replied the fi'nsnspectingéhlld Lord Westmoreland prompRy follow- ed the advice of the banker, who be- came so irate that he refused to for- give the young couple and, dying, be- queathed all of his vast wealth to their child, Sarab. In order to secure the wealth Lord and Lady Westmoreland named all of their six children Sarah, boys included.—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. It will never rain roses.

'l' +++++++++'§+++++++ This old-time Minnesota pest has ap- peared in destructive mumbers this season, and has destroyed all prospect of seed from at least four-fifths of the timothy crop in Central and Southern Minnesota besides greatly reducing the value of the timothy as a hay crop. The army worm is a cut worm, oc- curring in enormous numbers in a given locaiity and generally: “on the march” from one field to another, eith- er dmpelled by hunger or the attacks of parasites or both. Though suffering from many parasitic insects (perhaps 50 per cenl are parasitized) and from the attacks of such nocturnal prowlers as shrews, skunks, etc., man has to take prompt measures against them wher they appear as abundantly as they have this season. The larvae, or caterpillars, or “worms” are, when full grown, about one and one-fourth inches long and vary in color from green to a very dark brown or even blackish, but al- most invariably showing character istic stripes on back and sides. This description applies to Heliophila al bilinea, Hub., the species in question In every case of infectation, as far as we have been able to ascertain, these caterpillars have come from old timothy fields that have been allowed to run a number of years, four or more, without being plowed. If farmers would plow up their timo thy fields at least once in three years, it would be of material help in pre- venting their outbreaks. The attack last year is another argument for fall plowing and proper rotation of crops. When full grown, they go into the ground one to two inches below the surface, and turn into mahogany-col- ored pupae, from which the yellowish brown moths emerge later. The fe- male moth lays eggs on the leaves of grasses and grains, which eggs hatch into the above-mentioned worms. Many letters, complaining of this pest, have reached us from St. James, ‘Worthington, - Windom, Heron Lake Russell, Elbow Lake, Otter Tail, Ruth- ton, Hendricks, Marshall, Battle Lake, LR R R X THE ARMY WORM AT WORK ON . TIMOTHY. Ashby, Canby, Tyler, Murdock, Revere and elsewhere. The damage done in these various places ranges from the more or less complete destruction of seed on from 100 to 1,500 acres. After the timothy heads are eaten, they turn their attention to oats, wheat or corn, traveling in an “army” from one field to another, hence their name. When a farmer’s crop is threatened by these worms, and the land is in a condition to allow it, he should plow one or two or three deep furrows across the line of march of the worms, the steep side of the furrow toward the crop to be protected; the worms collect in the furrow and can be killed with kerosene. If post-holes, eight or ten inches deep, are made at intervals in these furrows, they form traps into which the worms fall. Or a farmer can spray a broad strip about the worms or across their line of march with Paris green, at the rate of two or three pounds in 100 gallons| 1 of water; or, arsenate of lead (better than Paris green), at the rate of four or five pounds in 100%allons of water. Fields where they are entering the soll to go through the resting stage should be plowed—harrowing is not sufficient. Co-operation in the attack 18 necessary, for there might remain on one man’s place enough worms to lay waste the entire neighborhood later on, if every one did not take pre- ventlye measures. The presence of this worm on cured hay does not poi- son it for stock, as some farmers have aupposed. The species under discus- sion is two-brooded. If one farmer, whose field may har- por thousands of these insects in any stage, refuses to plow same, his neigh- bors would be justified in regarding his infested field as a public nuisance. Winter Keeping of Vegetables. The matter of keeping Irish pota- toes, cabbages, onions, beets, etc., all winter for family use depends on climatic conditions. Irish potatoes, as also beets, should be guarded against freezing. Beets and carrots can stand a little of it, but are better off when kept from it. Cabbages stored in the cellar should be wrapped separately in double thicknesses of newspaper, fold- ing and tying it around the stem. Hang each head upside down on the side of the wall or from the beams overhead. Onions to keep well must be put in a cool, dry, airy place. A Startler.
