In a steer feeding. éxpériment con- dueted last year on the' government farm at Beltsvilld, Md,, four lots of itwo year old steers were fed. The purpose’ was to comparé cottonseed meal and soaked velvet beans when used with and without the addition of shelled corn. The addition of coérn to a ration composed of corn silage, cottonséed meal and wheat straw did not pay. The addition of corn to the ration 6f velvet beans.and corn silage was profitable. The lot receiving corn silage and soaked velvet beans with a small quantity of cottonseed m8al as an ap- petizer produced thé most eeonomical 2ains and showed the greatest profit, even though the daily ins and thé selling price of the cattle weré lower than those of any of the other lots. , RAISING SHEEP. A ldrge crop of lambs is the basis of good financial returns, while a small crop of lambs means less profit. "It is very nécessary that ewes and lambs be glven extra atténtion in order to insure the largest profits. Thé lamb that is born stréng and vigorous, with a go6d dam, will need very little care after the first day or twe. , It is impértant to see that the lamb gets its first feed promptly. ‘When lambing pens are used the shej herd is able to give the individuals more careful attention and thus get them on the way more rapidly. The shepherd should watch the ewes carefully to see that their udders ave in good condition. This is of spéci ! importance during the first week with ewes which are heavy milkers. After lambinz, the ewes should he fed light- the third or fourth day. At this time it is economical t8 feed heavily énouzh to profiuce a large fiow of milk for the lambs.

A great many farmers have not he- lieved the application to pastures of chemicals to be economieal. The price | of grain and of milk has placed a new light on the economic phase of fertil zation of pastures. Hence it is of in- terest to know what the effect of chemicals has been in a few of the recorded trials, says Henry L. Dorsey of the agronomy department at Con- necticut Agricultural college, Storrs. In 1909 Massachusetts treated two slag and 300 ounds of low grade sul- phate of potash. The treatment was repeated the following vear. Two plots were left untreated for observa- tion. Before the end of the first season the treated plots were greener and the cattle srazed more upon the treatad then on the untreated plots. White clover was already appearing. ‘rhe differences were more marked the sec- ond year. The third year this moss- infected fleld had become a beautiful rich green turf of white clover, al- though no seed had heen sown. Tt is believed the application of fertilizer returned a gaod profit. However, the beliéf rests whollv on ebservatjon. Several careful fertilizer treatments land. In Northumberland county an experiment was carried throush nine rs. The plots contained three acres. The galns Wwere measured by the gains in sheep grazed as compared with zains on an equal sized plot but untreated. On one plot 1,000 pounds of baste slag was applied the first year. This plet made an annual zain of 79 8- pounds of sheep over the check plot, or a total gain per acre fo 117 pounds. On another plot 700 pounds of supar phosphate was applied ‘the first and fourth vears, and 1,000 pounds of ground ]ime the first, fourth and sixth vears. This treatmentigave the same amount of phesphoric acid as the pre- vious plot with 1-1-2-tbns of lime. The 2ain per acre was 79 2-9 pounds over the untregtéd plot, or a tof gain of 116 7-9 ponnds 6f sheép pér aere. with phosphorus in super phosphate, but no tréatmént was so good as the basic slag or the super phosphate with lime. NEED OF CLOVER ON ALL OUR FARMS The Indiana experiment station found that clover in thé corn-wheat- clover rotation incréased the total value of the products over that pro- duced when timothy took the place of clover by $8.07 in one casé and $7.80 in another. The illifols station, as a re- sult of a long series of trials, found that corn after clover yielded twice what corn after corn yielded and also more than cérn in the cérn-odts rota- 01 The Missouri station found that six year rotation with clover and timothy “the last three years financially profitable and maintained the productivity of the soil.

The organic mattér in thé soil is used up most rapidly when the land is in corn or wheat, It ean be replaced by turn- ing under crop residues, but legime: alone ean add fitrogen as well as or- ganic matter to the soil. The Pennsvlvania station found that of soils under varving crops the sofl nnder matire clover was the richest in organic matter and in nitrogen, followéd by the soil containing elover residue or under young clover. C. G. Williams of the Ohfo station said In the Ohin Farmer: “Inability to dress cultivated land oncé in threa to five vears with culti- vated manure, or failure to nlow un- der a full crop of clover or its squiv- alent as freauently, may be expected, snoner or later, to bring about con- ditiors in which commer nitro- gen can he used with nrefi But can the general farmer afford to huy commercial nitrogen when he ean get the nitrogen through tha claver crop?
