RICHNESS OF THE soy BEAN
Seeds When Ground Into Meal May 81
Substituted for Equal Amount
OF Linseed Oil.

One Of the qualities of the soy bean
that commends 1t to the stock feeder
is its protein richness. The Virginia
experiment station has found that tho
seeds when ground into meal may be
successfully substituted for equal
amounts Of linseed meal in feeding
dairy cows.
The hay Is also rich In protein, and
this is why 1t Is extensively used In
eastern states for ensiling with corn,
as this combination will practically
produce a balanced ration. A com.
parison between an acre of green cut
flint corr and soy beans, at the Mas
~sachusetts station, showed that the
beans produced nearly 81 per cent.
more protein than the corn, while the
acre of corn produced over "a per
cent. more Of carbohydrates and fai
than the soy beans.
While corn and soy bean sllage con.
stitute a balanced ration, 1t is not tc
be inferred that grain is entirely un
necessary where the silage Is fed tc
dairy cows. But it has been found
possible to reduce .he grain ration
considerably under these conditions
and still maintain the milk flow. Ac.
cording to Prof. W. A. Henry, silage
made Of corn and soy beans Ii more
digestible than that made from corr
Silage alone.

Raising Native Lambs.

The farmer who will pay close at
tention to his breeding stock and raise
native lambs of uniform size and
breed, feed them intelligently and mar,
ket them at the right time can mako
more profit from his flock than from
any other farm investment. AS a rule,
the native" lambs sent to the mar
ket are SO badly mixed, both as to
bred and feeding, that they are a tor
ment to the buyer and of little profit
to the owner.
This is one Of the reasons why the
western range lambs find great favor
in the big markets. They are more
uniform in size, as they are fed in
large focks and go to market practic-
ally In the same condition. Only a
small portion Of the native lambs
that are sold in the eastern markets
can be called prime, and this fact is
entirely the fault Of the farmer. z
