Truly. a good demonstration in favor
of clover pasture for the Iowa farmer
In figuring UP the results the
amount of feed given the pigs on the
dry lot was divided by the pounds
gain. This gave the amount of feed
required to produce one pound Of
pork. On this basis 1t was calculated
how much pork the corn fed on pas
ture would produce. This was sub
tracted from the total gain and the
difference credited to the pastures.
On this basis one re OF bluegrass
produced 1857 poun I. of pork and one
acre OF clover pasture 74S pounds.
Figuring this pork at the conserva-
tive price Of seve. collars per hun
dredweight the bluegrass pasture was
worth $3.50 per acre and the clover
pasture $52.36. This difference Of
s26.67 per acre shows In an unmis-
takeable way the value OF clover for
hog pasture.

the calves were one week old they
were given to the owner of the sire
as pay for service.
We started to sell milk on the 18th
of April The cows we're kept clean
and were given an abundance OF feed.
They responded to the good care with
large flow Of milk. Milking hours
were six in the morning and seven In
the evening. We always took 81 eat
care to be regular in milking and feed
ing. The cows were fed In addition to
grass during the pasture period and
hay during winter. a mixture Of
ground corn and cob meal. bran. and
oil meal Salt was always placed near
the watering trough and the cows
were In every way encouraged to
drink as much water as possible.
At the end of the year 1850 pounds
OF milk had been weighed on the milk
scales. According to the tables the
cows averaged 40 pounds Of milk each
per day for the first 30 days; %
pounds each per day for the following
80 days: 20 pounds each per day for
the next 60 days: 16 pounds each per
day for the next 80 days or the ninth
month; 10 pounds each per day for
the tenth month; six pounds each per
day for the eleventh month. the last
month that they gave milk. We al
ways dried the cows up six weeks be-
fore the next calving. OF the 1880
pounds of milk produced 1920 were
sold at the rate of rs cents per gal
Ion, giving total receipt OF $476.S6
The expenses we're $147.S4 for the
two cows during the IL months. Each
COW consumed per month 80 pounds
of ground corn and cob meal costing
$1.25. so pounds Of bran costing TIN
cents. so pounds Of oil meal costing
s1.10, and about sh cents worth Of
salt. The cost of the grain for each
cow per month was $3.16. making q
total of 1892 for the year. The pas
ture for each COW was two dollars q
month or $11 for the FIVE and one-half
months of pasture period. The clover
and timothy hay amounted to about
two and one-half tons for each coz
through the year. costing $40 per ton
or SIS.
Deducting the s147.S4 expenses from
$476.S6 gross receipts. profit Of
$4,000 was realized from the two
cows or $l64.51 for each COW.

good COW has always been more re-
sponsive to careful treatment and
abundant feed than a poorer COW.
For several years our cows have av-
eraged net profit to us Of $164.51
apiece. We think this high profit 10
largely due to three things. First, we
keep cows Of good dairy type only:
second. we give them plenty OF feed
as nearly as possible in a balanced ra-
ton. and lastly. we strictly obey the
rules of regularity In milking and car
ing fer them.
The equipment we use is simple

three cows, Since the grain feed Is
bought each month as needed a few
tin lined boxes furnish the only neces-
sary grain bins. During the summer
period when hay Is at its lowest figure
two tons Of hay are slowed away in
the loft and three tons are stacked
close to the barn. In order to pre-
serve the stack, a foundation OF logs
covered with brush is used and the
staclois topped with canvas cover to
protect It from the wind and to give
more water proof covering than the
loose hay alone. A woven wire fence
incloses the greater part of the three
fourths of an acre which is divided
into three lots. A well. supplying an

cows of rather promising conforma-
