The results which are given below
prove that Mr. Maxwell was not mis-
taken In his opinion regarding the
value of knowing the production OF
each cow in his herd.
At the end of the first year, 1t was
found that the average production OF
a herd of Is cows was 5,062 pounds OF
milk, containing 214 pounds of butter.
fat The cost Of feed per cow amount
ed to SAM. There was profit OF
$4185 above the cost OF feed For
every dollar expended for feed the
average COW made a return in milk
amounting to $1.9S.
The best cow in the herd, the first
year, yielded 5,93S pounds of milk con-
tanning 26S pounds of butterfat, while
three cows were sold as Improbable,
one making a yield Of only 2,61O
pounds of milk.
During the first year, Mr.. Maxwell
studied the records carefully, and
made plans to feed the herd for Its
highest and most economical produc

production during the months OF July
and August was very low, owing to
dry pastures and lack of green feed;
also that the effect Of short feed at
this time could not be overcome dur
ing the remainder of the lactation
period. The second year green corn
was provided as a supplement to dry
pastures. AS result. the records
show that during the second year the
average COW produced 7,l42 pounds OF
milk containing 800 pounds Of butter
fat; she consumed $47.91 worth OF
feed, and made a profit above the cost
feed amounting to $6976
The highest producing COW In the
herd yielded $3.50 pounds of milk.
containing 400 pounds of butterfat
Her feed cost $48.62; and the profit
above the cost of feed was $11572.
The following table gives clear
idea of the increased production, that
resulted when q careful system of
feeding was followed:

WHEAT AND VETcH SEEDED NOW
WILL PROVIDE NEEDED
ROUGHAGE IN
SPRING.
NICHOLAS SCHMlTZ,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

After such a dry season as we have
h.d this year. we may naturally ex.
pect a shortage In the supply Of hay
and roughage early in the spring.
Hence it is quite important that we
plan our farming operations this fall
so that we will be rovided with plenty
Of good feed while waiting on the next
hay crop.
For this purpose there is probably
nothing better than mixture Of win
ter oats and vetch or wheat and vetch.
The vetch and wheat can be mixed and
seeded with the wheat drill. A good
mixture to SOW is 20 to 25 lbs. of vetch
and about ! bushel of wheat or oats
per acre. This will grow up early In
the spring and can be used as soiling
crop or cut for hay when the grain is
in the soft dough stage. 1t makes
good yield Of an excellent quality OF
hay.
Vetch yields well by itself, but owing
to its whey habit of growth, 1t Is best
to SOW 1t with wheat or winter oats

AVERAGE Production Per Cow.
Profit

This increase was made largely
through feeding. Three cows were
eliminated as Improbable during the
first year. This. of course, had ma
terial effect in making the average
production higher; but the larger fac
tor was the individual feeding.
BY keeping records the low pro
ducers can be discarded; and the re-
mainder Of the herd can be fed ac'
cording to their production. These
two factors will increase the average
production Of any herd; and make the
yield at lower feed cost.
