Cleared $1,21o on One Cow.

Mr.. w. F. Harper, of C~ontentnea
Neck Township, owns a COW which
has been giving milk since February
Is, 1892. She started with a pro-
duction of two and one-half gallons
of milk per day, and now yields one
gallon per day. This COW is a per-
petual mixer, and was a fine invest
ment. Mr. Harper paid 5000 for
her, sold her calf for $40 and has had
milk from her every day for over
eleven years. Putting the average
at two gallons of milk per day, the
COW has yielded 5000 gallons of milk
during the eleven years and eSti-
mating the value Of the milk at twen-
ty cents per gallon, which is easily
obtained for the Tactical fluid in this

Best Time for Cutting Forage,
EDITOR Of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:
The Experiment Station Division
of the Department of Agriculture
has been gathering some information
regarding the, best time-te cut for
age crops including oats, field peas,
field corn, millet, sorgum, Kafr corn
and cow-peas. A description of ex-
periments is given where analyses
we're made of these crops at two diff
ferent stages in the growth of each,
In the oats and peas grown together
the first analysis was made when the
pea-pods were beginning to form, the
second when the pod had all filled
out and similar stages Of growth for
the other crops. The following table
will indicate the stages of the crops
at the different analyses:
Peas, first analysis, pods beginning
to form; second analysis, pods filled
out. Oats Cd, beginning to head;
(2), in full bloom. Field corn CD,
tassels showing; CD corn full grown,
ear forming. Millet Cd, beginning
to head; CD, headed, seeds nearly
ripe. Sorgum 0) beginning to
head; (2), headed, seeds forming.
Kafr corn G), beginning to head;
(2) headed, seeds forming. Cow-peas
CD, vines 16 inches high, no bios
SONS; (2) we'll developed, some pods
formed.
In reaching a conclusion various
factors we're taken into account be-
yOnd the mere amount of nutrition
found, such as wholesomeness, diges-
tibility, palatability, etc. 1t was de-
veloped hat the mixed crop of oats
and peas improves in composition as
it grows older and should probably
be allowed to stand so long as the
pea vines remain fairly erect. The
proportion of fesh-forming to fat
forming constituents in fodder OBJ
tanned from oats and peas is very
nearly the correct one for a we'll
balanced ration for most classes of
animals, and it would probably be
found unnecessary to supplement
this fodder with grain or other foods.
Fieldcorn, millet, sorgum and
Kafr corn decrease rapidly in pro
tein content while heading out. In
order to obtain a fodder from these
having as narrow a ratio of flesh
forming to fat-forming foods as pos
sible the crop should be cut at as
early a stage as it can be we'll cured
For "roughage," to be fed in con
nection with highly heterogeneous
foods it may we'll be allowed to grow
until the seed forms. After that
however, the stalks rapidly become
woody and the proportion of waste
is greatly increased. No very sig.
nifcant change was found in the
cOw-peas, but this fodder is highly
recommended on account of it's large
proportion of heterogeneous, strength
producing material and small per,
centage of i~ndigestible fiber.
