In Chicago they are planning a forest

Cost of i,rnducing aiiIk.

For the past eight years the New Jersey Experiment Station has kept a careful record of the cost of produc- ing milk by the college herd In a recent general review of this work we find this summary: The daily cost of total food per COW varied from 1l.6O cents in 1896 to SS cents in 1901. The daily cost for fine feed varied from 4.99 cents in 1896 to 7.62 cents in 1901 i; the cost of roughage varied from 5.23 In 1902 to 66l in 1896 The cost of production per quart varied from 2.2e cents in 1902 to 2.49 cents in 1896, and the average annual yield per COW was 6,52S pounds
 The study of the records of indtvid- ual cows also showed that but little profit can be derived from COW that does not produce 5000 pounds of milk per Year. particularly if the product Is

pound; no stronger argument is need ed in favor of the necessity of testing theS animals, and thus learning their exS,t value than is afforded by these records. Furthermore, the facts brought out by the records indicate that there is but little profit from COW that does not produce 200 pounds of butter per year. and point to the ne cessity of a careful selection of cows for the butter dairy."-Exchange.

shows just. what amount of digestibie protein each silage crop affords for ing steers. it indicates the real value Starch" and Fats" Comparing corn Is little difference. The greatest diff ference will be noted by comparing these two crops with alfalfa or with COW peas.
 alfalfa, or peas that were originally intended for hay. are often hauled to the silo and there worked up into a safe feed. We have hauled such crops to the silo when dripping wet and there was no other way by which they could possibly be saved It is not very pleasant work saving this wet stun. but 1t is work that pays good wages when the rainy days have come to stay.
 Cost of Growing Silage.
 Q) The cost of growing ton of corn. or sorghum silage is the same as for growing the same tonnage of wa ter-free feedstuff. as fodder or as hay. The yield per acre is somewhat great CT, but the added cost of manure and seed will offset this apparent advantage in favor of the silage crop. The cost of harvesting with machinery. includ- ing interest on same. the hauling and putting into silo, will not equal the cost of hauling and harvesting a simi- lar weight of dry corn. and corn-fod- der or a crop of sorghum when ma chlnery is employed in cutting. husk- ing out and shredding a corn crop in the most economical manner where the best of machinery Is used. If an all hand method be used in gathering and housing the corn crop. the cost will far exceed the silage system in accom- plishing the same results. In the mat ter of economic housing, the silo is far more economical than ordinary barn space for covering the same quantity of feed. There is no waste of crop grown under the silage system. Ordi- narily the loss due to drying out in the field. weevil attacks in the crib. and the blowing away of corn fodder to say nothing of the losses due to ex- cesstve rains. is all in favor of the silage system. But as to digestibility there Is no gain in making silage over the curing of bright hay. On this one point the advocates of silage are often wrong. There is far less waste in feeding silage than in handling the ordinary hays, even the finest. high grade hays. Silage is more palatable and more greedily eaten than the best of hay. It is succulent and causes a larger flow of milk and induces more rapid growth in young animals than will the best dry feed.-Farm and Ranch.

direct sunlight, Any hay is better when cured in the shade.
 If the weather is damp or rainy, the hay Is not raked at all till cured when 1t is carried directly to the place where 1t Is to be stored. If 1t con tinues to rain several days after cut ting. do not touch the hay until ready to put up. and then be sure that 1t is dry when packed away. This is a pre- caution that must be observed in stor- ing any kind of hay--do not put up when even moist with dew, or 1t will mold.
 The crop may sometimes be lost in a protracted wet spell, but can gener- ally be saved in such condition as to make very good forage"
 Methods of putting up green are practiced. and are entirely satisfactory when the vines are 30 packed that the air can circulate freely through them.
 One of the methods of putting up green Is to erect a stack pole and nail a strong crosspiece on the pole extend- ing to the outer edges of the stack Put on layer of the green vines two or three feet thick, then nail on an- other crosspiece, and so on to the top of stack, finishing off with grass hay The crosspieces prevent the vines pack ing down closely and at the same time allow the air to enter the stack. Hay can be cured and kept by this method. IL Is somewhat more expensive than curing in the field. as 1t necesSitates the handling of a great amount of water in the green vines. and the cost of stack pole. crosspieces, etc, amounts to something.-Farmers' Bulletin, U. $.
