Seed Testing for Missouri Farmers.

A seed testing laboratory for the bene-
fit of Missouri farmers has recently been
installed at Columbia 10y the United
States Department Of Agriculture in co.
operation with the Missouri Experiment
Station. This laboratory is thoroughly
equipped for making accurate tests OF
the impurities and weed seeds in all
samples and also for making germina-
ton tests whare desired. All that is
necessary is for the farmer to send 10 a
sample of two table spoonfuls or more
with his name attached and letter ac-
companying it stating whether he wish
es simply quality test made or both
quality ana termination test. The.
samples sent il should represent accur-
ately an average of the seeds from
which they are taken.
This work will be done free of charge
for all Missouri farmers and scedsmen
and reports returned within few days.
Missouri farmers have thus far been at
the mercy of INSCRIPTIONS seed dealers
and it is for this reason that the labora-
tory is being installed. 1t will be pos
sible under this arrangement for a far

Feeding the Dairy Cow In Winter.

Reports received by this department
from farmers OF the state show that the
herds OF cattle that are best managed
produce in many cases from two to
three times as much butter during the
year as does the average dairy cow of
the state, and this difference largely
results from the best herds holding up
in their milk production during the
winter. We find the reason for this is
largely due to the more careful feeding
these herds receive during this season.
We find the farmer getting the poor re-
suits generally feeds timothy hay, corn
fodder and corn and often not even a
sufficient amount of these. The man
who is getting good results has learned
that such ration will not enable COW
to tioduce milk enough to make
it profitable. 1t is not necessary
to buy large quantities OF expen-
sive feed to make II good ration as it
can all be grown on the farm. If the
proper ration is not at hand, however,
it will usually pay to buy something
suitable, or possibly trade some OF the
feeds on hand.
The man who gets good results with
COWS feeds clover, alfalfa or cowpea hay
for the roughness, and takes care that
the cows have plenty of it, and il he
has some corn fodder, feeds some Of
that in addition during the day. Il
hay of this class is fed, it is all right to
feed a considerable quantity of corn for
grain.
The feeds which are generally fed in
! this state may be divided into two
cussrs. The first includes thoss which
are used mainly TO produce fat and
which are lacking in protein, which is
necessary to produce milk. In this
class we have CON, corn fodder, timothy
hay, straw, millet and sorghum. The
second class of feeds are those which
contain more protein and supply the
food necessary to produce milk. La
this class We have clover, cowpea and
alfalfa hay, bran, CATS, cottonseed and
linseed meal. A good daily ration will
include feeds from both OF these classes
and it is impossible to make suitable
ration by feeding those in the first class
only. A good ration for a COW produc'
ing from "a to % pounds Of milk pei
day would be all she would eat Of clover
or cowpea hay, and for grain from . &c
6 pounds corn and 3 to 5 pounds brar
or oats. Another fairly good ration fol
an ordinary COW iH all she can eat OF al
falfa or COW pea hay aud TO II pounds
corn. Still another would be clover hay
rs before, corn to 8 pounds and cotton
seed meal pounds per day. These ra
tons will be improved 10 every case b.
