no hay is being fed according to the quality of the hay used.
 It will also replace part of the ration of growing and fattening hogs when fed in the same way and will result in a considerable saving in cost.
 Alfalfa, soybeans or other lesume hay may replace the clover hay with out decreasing the value of the ration. As in the case with clover hay the finer the hay used the better. as the hog will refuse the coarser portions.
 Snage generally has not proved to be very satisfactory for hogs though it may well be used to increase the bulk in the ration when only concentrates are fed, and the effect of such feed on the physical condition of the hog is easily seeu. Corn and soybean sileage has considerable value for mature stock especially when the 'silage is fairly mature. Usually only the finer parts will be eaten though the amount

of good clover hay. Its efficiency for feeding dairy COWS is beginning to be recognized but most men are aston
 ished at the suggestion that it is a valuable feed for hogs as well. Ii is especially valuable when being fed to hogs where the concentrate ration is principally made up of either corn or wheat middiings or a combination of the two. Glover hay is very rich in
 lime in addition to carrying other minerals which are needed for bone formation and proper funcfioning of the internal organs. Further, as with other legune hays, it is rich in vita mines, recently discovered but little understood substances, which are necessary to life and health. Both corn and wheat middiings being woe fully low in lime and content and con- taining other minerals in insufficient quantities, ss we'll as having some of the quantities as well as having some

REDUCTION OF POULTRY
 FEED COST POSSIBLE.
Economical Rations Suggested by Ex-
 tension Poultryman.

The result of the poultry feed cost campaign which has been running for the last six weeks shows a possible saving of r per cent. on feed costs by simply using little care in select ing and making up rations. Up So the present time, r meetings have been held, attended by 566 poultryrnen or an average attendance of B. At each meeting cards were given out asking for the number of hens kept and the cost per 100 pounds of the grain and mash feed, also whether rations were ready mixed, part ready mixed, or horned mixed.
 The cost of each ration was worked out for one month on the basis of ' pounds of grain and mash per hen per month, which is a. fair average. TN total cost of feeding all of the hens represented at each meeting was com pared with the cost of asGnost econom- ical ration worked out and accepted by those present, based on current retail grain quotations obtained from the local grain dealers that day: An at tempt was made to make the ration satisfactory to every one present oth-

of the vitamines in too small propor- tions, are greatly benefited as a ration when clover hay is added. It has been found that 100 pounds of good clover hay often replace 100 pounds of corn or wheat niddlings, which costs or 3 times as much, and that the animal becomes in better thrift because of the change, the added bulk of the hay causing contentnent and the added lime and the vitamines furnishing the substances for proper matntainance
 In feeding clover hay to hogs the best hay obtainable should be used. The first cutting usually being the best since it is comparatively free from coarse woody stems, which the hogs will rot eat. Keep this before them in slated racks so that it may be eaten at will and feed just enough grain in addition to keep the hogs in good condition. This win be eo-s0 per cent of the amount needed when

EARLY MATCHING.

There are those who claim that early matching chicks are too expen- sive to raise. that the fertility during the last of January and the first of February is poor: also that the matching power of the. eggs at this period is below normal. making the average price of the chicks greater than those matched month or six weeks later. Data at college and that furnished hv a number of poultrynen show that the per cent of hatch during the month of February is almost equal to that obtained in March and in some instances better. To effect any ad- dftional cost in the matching and rear ing, our experiments here at the col lege show that the early matched chicks grow and do much better than the late-hatched ones, providing of course. they are cared for properly. AgaiU4 assuming the early matches are poorer and that three eggs are re- quifed to5 produce one chick instead of two eggs later in the season, this will increase the cost of the early chicks by one-hatf the prfce of one egg, or in other words, very few cents.

MORE MONEY FROM
 THE WOOD LOT
Cutting. Must Be Done lntelIigentiy To
 Get Best Results.

Usually the cutting of cord wood is a last resort upon the part of the farmer who wishes to keep his men employed at useful labor and ordinari- 7 ly the returns barely pay the cost of handling and the wood is thrown in ! the fuel market have changed relative values however so that the owner may ! now cut cord wood at a profit and it would seem that as long as there is a shortage of coal these conditions win continue. Cord wood is cash crop ktl1is year.
 In addition to the financial returns Ito be had from the cutting of cord bwood, there is also patriotic consid- keration. We need to use wood wEer- lever possible. This is especially true in Connecticut where coal is difficult to obtain and wood is abundant, No farmer should plan to burn coal next winter and a sufficiently large wood pile should be worked up now in or der that seasoned wood may be on hand for next winter. Green wood is neither satisfactory nor economical and it takes six months or more to season. Now Is the time for. every farmer to do his part toward relieving the situation both this year and next.
 The cutting of cord wood should be done intelligently if best results in the way of profits from the wood lot are to be obtained. All trees will make cord wood, but cord wood should not be made from all trees. Before setting the men to choppfng look over tho lot and do a bit of planning. Can the stand of timber be improved by saving some of the better trees and filing in with others? Should all the trees be sacrificed CT simply the weeds cut and the lot cultivated, thus placing it in the same condition as a rewly seeded field.
 Few people appreciate the possibil- ities of cultivation applied to timber Trees will grow if left alone but the result is bound to be inferior just as would be. the case If the meadow was given no attention other than to har- vest the crop. The wood lot may be filled with weeds" which have taker the place of better trees. The trees may be over-crowded. The mill mar may have left tops and broken young trees on the ground The chestnut blight and other disease or insect pests may have done their work. The stand may not be uniform being crowded 1T spots and with open spaces which dt not prodNce. As rule an open spot whether the result of cutting over ol of burning. will be taken 2, up by weeds" unless cared for A little -time and labor spent in the cultiva tior of the wood lot will bring both direc and indirect returns.
