My wife has had al very strong prejudice
against all kinds of patents for years, and,
especially, washing machines. So strong
was her prejudice in this direction that
even after 1 had bought one of your
washers and carried it home l. found it
difficult to prevail upon her to try it. Her
mind was made up from tic beginning not
to- like it, but 10. her great delight, after
once trying it, she is prepared to say that
it is all you claim for it. The washer is a
remarkable success, and, in my judgement,
every honse-keeper should get one just al
soon as possible. 1t saves vast deal of
labor and trouble, and am satisfied that it
saves at least one-half the soap.

College Farm SUPPLEMENTARY
aud Late Cut Hay.

The following comparison in feeding early
and later cut hay, made At the State Col
lege farm, and is copied by permission of
Secretary Gilbert from advance sheets Of his
next report:
A field of grass of uniform quantity and
quality consisting mostly Of clean terds-grass.
with very little white-weed intermixed, was
selected and divided into plots two and one
half rods in width and twenty rods in
length. The grass upon the fret,
third and fflh plots was cut when in full
bloom, July llth; and the second, fourth
and sixth plois were cut twenty days later,
August Sd. when the seed had become hard
bnt not sufficiently ripe to she'll in harvesting.
The weight Of hay cut early, At time ofput-
ting in the barn. wss 1891 lbs. per acre.
Weight of same Feb, l4tii. 2,615 lbs, shrink

The weigh, of hay cut late, at time of har-
vcsting WAS 5, i5o lbs. per acre. Weight of
same Feb l4th 2.662 lbs; shrinkage, l5A
per cent.
The greater shrinkage in the late cut hay
is probably owing to its being weighed di-
rectly from the bunches that had stood in the
6eld over night The amount of winter dry
hay from each cutting was practically the
same.
In this connection It will be well to bear
in mind that the season was extremely dry,
and that grass made very little growth after the
middle of July.
Chemical analysis of the hay showed the

To test the comparative feeding value Of
this hay, two cows as evenly mated as possi-
BILE were selected, each being cross-bred,
seven-eights Jersey and one eighth Ayrshire.
They were comparatively fresh, having been
in milk but few weeks. They each receiv
ed three pounds of corn meal, three pounds
of cotton seed meal, one and one-half pounds
Of bran, and twenty pounds of hay daily
throughout the entire period of feeding.
Bess was fed during the first period of
twelve days upon late hay, the first six being
in preparation and to overcome the influence
Of previous feeding, and the milk product of
the last six davs of the period, was taken as
the result of the late hay. At the close of the
first period, her feed. was changed to early
hay, aud she was fed upon this during the
second period of twelve days, the first six to
destroy the influence of previous feeding. as
before, and the last six, the milk produced,
represented the result of the early hay con-
suined during that times The third period
her hay was the last cut, fed as in the frat.
This feeding alternately on late and early hay
was continued through six periods of twelve
days each. or seventy-two days.
The cream was raised and butter made from
It under similar conditions during each Pc
riod, the butter being made from the milk of
one day, and calculated for the period from
the number of pounds of milk required for
one pound of butter. The total amount of
fat contained in each days milk was ascer-
tanned by chemical examination.
The same course of feeding and testing
was repeated with Pet, excepting when Bess
had late hay Pet had early, and when
Bess had early Pet had late This was for
the purpose of equalizing the influence OF
the variation of temper iture that might occur.

BESs.

II was found that 270 lbs. of mixed grain
and 720 lbs. of early hay. produced 990.l2
lbs of milk, which yielded 81. 90 lbs. of but.
ter, and the milk contained 37.36 lbs. of fat.
The same quantity and quality of grain as
above. fed in connection with 100 lbs. Of late
hay, gave 92l.15 lbs. of milk, which yielded
52.s5 lbs. of butter, the milk containing 35. 3
lbs. fat.
In this test the comparative value of the
early and late hay for milk production was
as 100 to 80 "a: or, the daily feeding ration
of 20 lbs. Of early hay was equal to 2l.42 lbs.
Of late hay for the same purpose. There Was
practically no difference in the amounts Of
butter obtained from each fodder. II was
feared that the appetites Of the animals might
not be as good for the late as for the early hay,
but such was not the case to any serious ex-
tent. In only two Of the six changes from
early to late, was there any dislike exhibited,
and this was overcome during the first day Of
feeding upon it.
In one of the six changes from late to early,
there was nearly the same dislike manifested
This was somewhat surprising, as the early
hay was green and fresh, while the late was
evidently nearly ripe.
1t mnst, however, be borne in mind that the
weather during the last haying season was
unusually favorable 70 late standing grass,
no rain Of consequence occurring after
July 10th.
These results show much less difference in
the nutritive value and palatability of hay
harvested when in full bloom. and that har-
vested at = much later period than has gem
orally been supposed 70 exist
