GRAIN FOR COWS ON GRASS
In Opinion of Prof Thomas Shaw II
Pays to Use the Grain Ra-
ton in Summer.

Several experiments have been con
Quoted to test the advantage of feed
ing grain thus. The conclusions
reached were, that the grain fed when
grass was plentiful and while 1t was
yet succulent, did not bring any prof
1t over and above the cost of the
grain. In some instances, as when
grain was fed In large quantities, II
was said that the increase In milk
and butter fat did not pay for the cost
OF the grain. The conclusion has gone
extensively abroad. therefore that II
does not pay to feed COWS grain or
meal on grass, when the supply OF the
grass is abundant
| am not prepared to accept such
a view, Prof Shaw goes on to de
clare in presenting his views in the
Orange Judd Farmer. II seems to me
1t is conclusion reached without con.
sidering every phase OF the question
II the increased return in milk or but
ter fat pays for the cost of the grain
and no more, my contention Is, thai
In the end, such feeding is attended
with profit.
II the grain is thus paid for. one
item OF profit is found in the pasture
saved II is only reasonable TO sup
pose that for every pound Of dry mat
ter consumed in the grain. an equa'
amount Of dry matter will remain un.
consumed In the pasture This would
mean that the carrying power Of 2
pasture Is increased to the extent Of
the saving effected by feeding grain.
A second item Of profit will prob
ably be found in what is termed IN,
residual eject OF the grain feeding
This has been well brought out by
Prof Roberts. OF Cornell. Six COW;
we're selected that had been given Z
liberal allowance Of grain on pastur,
the previous season, and six were al
so selected that had been grazed II
the same field but without grain. Al
were put upon pasture without grain
The lot grained the preceding summed
produced l6 Lcr cent. more milk thar
the other LOT. The heifers In this To-
In milk. alss. made better develop
ment than the helfers in the other
This result is in accord with the view
OF many practical men on this ques
ton.
A third item OF profit would arts,
from the fertilizer obtained from IN,
grain. Where wheat. bran and cot
tonseed meal we're fed. the adyantag,
would be considerable from thi
source. Putting these three items to
gether. they should represent a sat
isfactory profit. even when the In
crease In milk production and butter
fat did not more than pay the cost o.
the grain.

PLANS FOR INSTITUTES
Farmers Meetings TO Be Held This
Fall.

! rIdhhlorl, ny. ,July I. COMMISSIONER
of Agriculture Hubert Vreeland is
sending out the following letter to far
mers of the State apprising them of the
preparation Of schedules for the Farm
ers' Institutes, which will be held this
year and of plans. He says.in his let
ter:
Il am now engaged in preparing
schedule for the farmers Institutes to
be held in Kentucky during the coming
institute season. which will open not
later than September l. This department
will hold at least one institute in every
county in the state this year and as
soon as the schedule is completed it
will be published so that every county
will know just when its annual institute
will be held. These dates will be made
to conform to the wishes of the various
clubs as nearly as possible, but as the
holding of ll9 Institutes is such a trem-
endous undertaking il will be necessary
to proceed with system and 70 take the
counties consecutively fromlthe starting
points.
There will be two lecture forces,
one for the eastern section and one for
the central and western.
These forces will be going constan-
| ly until the entire State has been cover
ed. You will readily realize that this
will entail considerable hard work. and
hearty cooperation Of the farmers wrll
aid the department greatly in carrying
out the project. The best lecturers to be
found will be employed, and with the aid
of the farmers have no hesitancy in
saying that this movement will be
frought with more practical results than
any movement ever set on foot in the
State.
II therefore respectfully urge every
farmer to lend helping hand and asst
in making institute work in Kentucky
what it is in Ohio, Illinois, Iowa and
other progressive agricultural States.
Kentucky has the soil and the climatic
conditions that should make her take
front rank in the line Of agricultural
States. and il is my earnest desire
that she should take the place that is
rightfully hers.
LAS you are probably aware, the
Legislature increased the appropriation
Of this department $40. 900. making the
total appropriation for institute work
and the general conduct Of the office
$4,000 annually instead Of Sl3. 900.
Without cooperation Of the farmers |
could not have brought '..is uufes - TO
such prominence as to cause tte .e,is-
lative body Of our State to increase the
appropriation TO such an eXter, ghen
only a short while before itwas regard
ed as a mere drain on the public funds
II is therefore my earnest desire 10
bring this department a. close 20 the
people as possible. and in ,ha; way do |
hope to make II Of practical value TO
each and every farmer To- the state Of
Kentucky.
Feeling assured that you will help
me 10 give the results pledged you
wqen was entrusted with the manage
ment Of this office. and assuring you
that this department stands ready at
all times 10 aid the famers Of your
county and Of the State in a practical
way. ! beg 10 remain. very sincerely
yours. HUBERT VREElAND.
Commissioner.

Some of the Things to Remember IN
Order to Best Dispose of
the Crop.

August is the month for heavy pro
duction of lima beans. They continue
to bear, however, till the first hare
killing frost. The amount and length
of profitable bearing depends largely
upon keeping the vines picked clean
and not allowing pods to get dead ripe,
for the ripened seed of any kind takes
most vital substance out of the plant
and causes 1t to die. Besides the beans
when not quite ripe bring the highest
prices, The time TO pick the pods is
when they show faint traces of light
green to yellow After the pod be-
