One of the most common errors is

is harvested, to cut part of it even
before the crop Is fully grown, rather
than 10 allow any considerable per,
ton to become tough and woody by

gestible and less palatable than thai
cut while in bloom, but also requires
a greater amount Of labor on the part
Of the animal to make the food nutri-
ents available The labor performed
in grinding and digesting this tough,
woody material requires much en-
ergy that otherwise might be used for
building up direct animal products.
such as meat and milk. The principal
changes which take place in grass as

heavy thunderstorm is not likely to
bring forth any young. How the be-
lief originated we can not under
stand, yet it has credencc all over
the world. We made number of
tests in this direction, at one time
having - hens sitting when a very
heavy thunder-shower came up. 1t
fairly shook the building and we be-
came curious to know what the re-
suit would be. 1t took from a week
to ten days until all the matches were
due, and yet better lot of chicks we
never had. On another occasion we
had an incubator full of eggs. and
they had but few days more 10
come out, when terrible storm
arose, yet the hatch was a good one,
Homestead.
