Chopped Hay For Cattle.

I have not just at hand figures to
prove the value Of chopping the hay
for cattle feeding, but l know that
careful experimentation has proved
that the best economic results have
been obtained by feeding the hay
chopped. Very many of the owners
Of extensive herds in the State chop
the hay for feeding. All animals eat
the chopped feed clean, thereby max
ing very considerable saving. The
hay was always chopped for the stock
on my fathers California farm, even
as far back as forty.two or forty-three
years ago. From the experience that
came with, this practice l have since
been an advocate of chopping the hay
for stock feeding.-President d. T..
Fowler, in Fruit World.
