Nearly 50 of the best heifers from the famous cows in the herd are involved in the test. It has already. been running four years, and will require several years more to finish. The object of the experiment is to determine the best method of feeding dairr-tred heifers for the highest mitiirz ability when mature. Ofe- half of them are fed a light ration of alfalfa hay and other roughage, and HAS BEEN “THIN STATE FARM DAIRY HERD. SHE FED.” the other half gets a heavy grain ra- tion. The light-fed ones are raised on skim-milk till weaning, and the oth- ers on whole-milk. Some other inves tigations are aleo being carried on at ‘the same time, such as determining the best time to breed, the effect of feeding on the per cent of butterfat, and a number of other factors of the business of dairying. This experiment will prove of great value to the gairy breeders throughout the world. Although no complete data is available yet, some striking results are being obtained. Forage Crops “A factor of profitable management which is too much neglected in Mis- fouri,” says Prof. D. H, Doane of the Dollege of Agriculture of the Univer- sity of Missouri, “is the pasturing down of forage crops.” With the corn crop, for example, most men would think the greatest cost is in the planting and cultivation, Accurate figures kept by the college from a large number of farms over the state, however, show that the coat of harvesting is often greater than that of growing, There are many things in favor of pasturing such crops as corn, cOow- peas, .soy beans and other forages. There is no cost in harvesting or haul- ing to the barn or feeding lots, The manure is all returned directly to the soil when it {s in condition to do the most good, so that there is no hauling out to do. It has been found that in this way eighty to eighty-five per cent of the fertility can be returned to the soil. The greatest possible amount of humus is returned, so that the soil will be kept in good condition. Thus it will be seen that the labor problem, which is becoming great on large farms, is reduced to a minimum. are Profitable anced ration in this way. and to get ex- cellent gains. As corn alone is ordi- Narily fed, it takes five pounds of corn to make a pouad of gain. Professor Doane says that the Experiment Sta- tion has often made a pound of gain with four pounds of corn fed in the fields, and he has known of gains of one pound for one pound of corn. By this system the corn is supplemented with leguminous forages. There are some drawbacks to the system, but they can be overcome. For example, there is some loss by trampling of the feed underfoot. This is especially true tm muddy fields with hogs. But this loss is relatively small, and does not offset the gains. If a lot of fattening hogs are turned into a large field, they will not clean up well, but will Leave a large part of the feed. This may be remedied by using temporary fences and allowing theni only a small area at a time. With well grown hogs, however, it is not advisable to make them clean up too closely.. The cleaning may be done cheaper by the sows and pigs which will be coming on.

Return spring, give a good flow of milk while the pastures are good, but when hot weather and short pastures come, the milk fiow drops one-half or two-thirds, and the cows are almost dry at the beginning of the winter. It is almost impossible to restore the flow of milk to the original amount after it is once allowed to run down from lack of feed. To make large returns from the cow, large yearly production must be had, and to do this, the flow of milk must be kept up ten or eleven months in the year. The cheapest and most effi- cam be grown at this season of the year.
