A Missouri correspondent of Kansas
Farmer urges the claims of Bokhara or
sweet clover and cites the experience
of a Nebraskan who states that his
cattle will eat the hay in preference to
any other hay and that he considered it
one of the best forage plants in exist
ence for the arid regions of the west.
AS to its becoming a pest, he afirms
that 1t can never do so, because ut is a
biennial and dies down root and
branch every other year. All that Is
necessary to kill 1t out is to see that it
is not permitted to 90 to seed. 1t is
one of the best renovsting plants
known to modern agriculture, and
soils that will not grow anything else
can be reclaimed and made sufficiently
fertile to produce other clovers by
seeding them to sweet clover. 1t will
kill ot all weeds and small bushes
and take complete possession of the
land, and In a few years land that was
not fit TO grow anything will be found
rich and fertile"

How He Made Farmers Suffer.

Under gold standard ia .mers cannot pay
their mortgages and smp have to lose what
they have invested.-From q speech deliver
ed in Benton Harbor, Mich, by Mr. Bryan
October l6, 1895.
In Mr.. Bryan's own State, Nebraska,
the value OF mortgages which were re-
leased or cancelled in 1898, the second
wear of McKinley's administration, was
S27 ,49S 070 which is $500, 600 greater
fhan the value of mortgages paid off In
1896.
Instead of farm lands depreciating
10 value, they have appreciated tre-
mendously. On this subject the Ameri-
can Agrculturslist recently said:
agricultural real estate is now " Orth
81 ,220, 900, 600 more than it WAS single
ear ago; the percentage of farms occu-
pied by owners is now larger than ever
before, while the number of farms under
mortgage has materially decreased
"'Phe amount OF mortgages on farms
occupied by their owners Is estimated at
about $500, 900, 900 less than at the be-
ginning of the decade. Mortgages now
average only about u per cent of the
value of the farms they are on, the rate
of interest has declined, and the great
bulk of mortgages now In force were In
Cured to buy the farm or to improve it."

no planks are used. the studding should

FEED OF MILK COWS.
Recent Experiments-Lfght Versus
Heavy Grain Rations.


The rations fed by dairymen the
country over show very wide differ
ences In the amount aud character of
grain used. To some extent these diff
ferences may be said to be normal, de-
pending on the prices of grain and
concentrated feeding stuffs. the capac-
ity of common COWS TO utilize large
rations proftably and the prices re-
ceiyed for dairy products, but aside
from these factors there are differ
ences In practice which rest largely on
the custom of the locality or fallacious
idea that economy in this respect Is
necessarily feature of profitable man
agement. Recognizing that this mat
ter depends considerably upon local
conditions, a few recent experiments
may be helpful in determining the
most economical and profitable policy.
The New Jersey station has been for
several years conducting some very
practical experiments with its dairy
herd, which Is managed as a CONNER
cial herd rather than an experimental
one and Is used TO produce milk for
milk route. In connection with these
experiments the effect of so called
good" and "poor' rations has been
tried. The good ration consisted of
four pounds of wheat bran, four
pounds Of dried brewers grains and
two pounds of linseed meal with five
pounds of timothy hay and 30 pounds
Of silage and had nutritive ratio of
about l to So. The poor ration con-
sisted of four pounds of cornmeal with
eight pounds of timothy hay and IL
pounds of cornstalks and had nutri-
tive ratio of about to 1875. Rations
similar In character to the poor ration
are said to be quite common in many
districts.
In period of 30 days four cows pro-
duced on the good ration 2,701.7 pounds
of milk and 131O4 pounds of butter,
and In similar period on the poor ra-
ton 2,0142 pounds OF milk and 94.32
pounds of butter The good ration
therefore gave 6S7.5 pounds more milk
and 1857 pounds more butter, equiva-
lent to "a per cent more milk and 80
tanning the larger amount of grain. At
local prices for feeding stuffs the cost
of producing 100 pounds of milk and a
pound of butter was practically the
same for the two rations, but it is
pointed out that 20 cows fed the good
ration would produce as much milk
and butter as 80 cows fed on the poor
ration. 1t has been claimed that, other
things being equal, small herd well
fed will prove more profitable than a
large herd poorly fed and the facts
brought out by this study seem to en-
phasize the correctness of this claim
and point to the Importance of good
feeding In the economical production
of butter.
Experiments were also made in feed
Ing different amounts Of the grain
making up the good ration. Ten, IL
and 20 pounds per head were fed TO
cows in full flow of milk. The indica.
tons were that while healthy animal
may consume large quantities of grain
the rate of increased yield Is not in pro-
portion to the increased amount of
grain used after a certain point is pass
ed. Rations containing more than 10
pounds of grain per day while they
were profitable were less so than those
containing this amount-E. w. Allen.
