Forage for Gown.

In the blue grass pasture We have
one of the best possible forage crops.
because 1t is rich In the essential
nutrients. such as the proteins. We
have to look more after the protein
forage crops than the carbohydrate
forage crops. for the reason that we
can always supply all the latter We
want in the corn crop and find 1t easy
to grow any amount of green corn foI
summer 'soiling.
The crops that we have to depend
on most for the richer portion of our
forage are those that bear pods. like
the clover. vetches, peas and alfalfa.
Glover and alfalfa at the present time
lead the list of available forage plants
In northern ATTITUDES. The most
valuable thing for feeding dairy cows
that can be grown is alfalfa. and as
much Of this as possible should be
grown on the dairy farm. Alfalfa has
the advantage over almost every other
protein producing crop, in the fact
that 1t is a heavy yielder and pro
duces three and even four cuttings g
year. Every farmer that has cows
that are being used principally fol
milk production will do well to try to
grow this crop.

Variation Of the Test.

Some highly interesting expert.
ments in regard to the standard
quality Of milk have been made by
MIR. R. Stratton. the well known Mon.
mouthshire agriculturist. Pure milk, T"
the law says. must have per cent
Of butterfat." Mr.. Stratton selected
two cows, and, testing their milk on
certain day. found that the yields
were respectively $50 and 3.52 per
cent Of butterfat. After feeding the
COW in certain way for a week one
cows milk gave yield of 3.04 per
cent, while the other was absolutely
stationary. Later on with the same
feeding the yields were 1.5O in one
case, while the other rose to $50 per
cent; while subsequently the yields
were 1.60 per cent and 800 per cent
respectively. The evening milking
gave better results than that In the
morning. Mr.. Stratton argues that
these statistics show that convictions
for deficiency of butterfat should NOT
be made on the strength of one analy.
sis, but as the result of a series,"-

Making Farm Butter.

The making of farm but.

our dairy schools even more than
making creamery butter, for more
farm butter is being made. Yet the
work that is done in the way of in.
structing creamery butter makers is
far more effective than the work of in.
structing farm buttermakers. The
creameries are eager to get all the
information possible on the making Of
butter, and they can be reached, while
the makers of farm butter are almost
beyond the reach of the experiment

of the agricultural press. This has led

Muck Lands.

Millions of acres Of muck land still
make up the aggregate Of our farming
lands. and In most cases the muck
lands are not being utilized. In come
swamps the muck graduates flowly
into peat, and of course the peat is
of little value except for burning.
1Bome Of the peat boys Of the United
States comprise thousands of acres
each. The states known to contain
the largest aggregate Of muck lands
are Illinois. Indiana. Wisconsin, Michi.
gan, Minnesota. Iowa and Florida. In
these states the aggregate of muck
lands runs from 1000 to 5000 square
miles. Even in the state where the
aggregate Is only 1000 square miles
the acreage is thus $4,000. This will
give some conception of the magni.
tude of the factor comprised in the
term muck land"
To-day about 80 Of the experiment

more or less attention to the manage

been formed by the partial decay of
water plants. but these same plants
have been prevented from completely
decaying by the water that has COW
