pounds mix ant $50 pounds fat. Ac-
cordi!.g to the r>cords each ti these

mixture each day.. These seven cows
averaged 1858 pounds milk per day.
Practical feeders tell us that we
should feed Jerseys pound of grain
for each to 8 IL pounds Of milk
produced. According to that rule,
were the cows in the herd fed too
much or not enough?
G. F. Abbott's herd Of 9 Jerseys
also had good average. They av-
eraged 794 pounds milk and 3S
pounds fat. These COWS were fed on
the average of 1875 pounds grain per
day. Their milk production averaged
26.6 pounds per day. According to
the above rule, how much grain mix
ture should these cows get per day!
O. L. Robinson's herd of 5 Hol-
stems averaged $50 pounds milk and
37.3 pounds fat. They received 1O.5
pounds grain mixture each per day.
Their milk production averaged BIG
pounds per day.
Out of the % herds tested, 10 had
averages of above 80 pounds fat for
the month. Ten produced from 20
to 80 pounds fat and three herds had
records of below 20 pounds fat.

ADD BOOKKEEPING TO
RURAL SCHOOL WORK

To forward accounting as an aid
in putting farming on a business
basis, rural schools in ten Ohio coun-
ties are now teaching eighth-grade
pupils to keep books on their home
farms. Counties where such work
goes forward are Williams, Fulton,
Morrow, Trumbull, Greene, Lake,
Henry, Washington, Hooking and
Morgan.
Members of the rural economies
department, the Ohio State Univer-
sity, started the movement when they
went before summer teachers insti-
tutes, placed in the hands of the
teachers approved farm record books,
and gave them the instructions which
they are now passing on to their
classes.

WORKS WITH RATS TO
SHOW VITAMINE NEED

Vegetable fats can never take the
place of real dairy butter in the
human diet" says J. F. Lyman, pro-
fessor Of agricultural chemistry at
the Ohio State University, who has
experimental in this regard on two
white rats from Indianapolis.
The reason he sent all the way to
Indianapolis for the rats, DR.. Lyman
told the reporter, is that man in
Columbus who used to raise the ami
mails has now gone out of the busi-
ness. The reason he chose rats for
the experiment, the professor said, is
that, inside at least, rats are much
like human beings. "Dietetic expert
menters the country over" he de-
clared, "find that food which makes
a white rat gain or lose will produce
corresponding results on human
being.
"In this experiment, two white
rats, about half-grown, were fed a
mixture of protein, starch, salts, yeast
and fat. One received lin addition,
butterfat. the other cocoanut oil. Ex-
cept for the different kinds of fat,
the two diets were identical.
"At the end of three months, the
butter-fed rat had doubled in weight
while the one fed cocoanut oil weighed
about one-fourth less than in the be-
ginning. "The butter-fed rat was in
thrifty condition throughout the ex-
pertinent; the one fed cocoanut oil
became diseased and died."
Similar results on rats and guiriea
pigs fed a milk and vegetable as
opposed to a plain vegetable diet,
have been reported by Forsythe of
Boston, and by. McCollun Of Balti-
more.

This year, too, second generation
of both kinds OF seed, taken from the
crops of similar test plats grown in

GROWTH OF CHRISTMAS TREE
Abandoned Farms in Foothills Of
Green Mountains in Vermont Pro-
vide the YuIetide Sprouts.

a. INCE five million Christmas
9trees are annually shipped out Of
Vermont, it is only natural to
wonder where they all come from.
They must come from. farms--not
farms operated to produce the Christ
mas tree crop, but abandoned farms
where the trees have. planted and
reared themselves.
These abandoned farms lie in high
valleys in the foothills of the Green
mountains. One may see sections COW
cred by thirty-odd farms, once thriv-
Ing settlements, but now all but two
or three may be unoccupied. Such
land, once under tie pillow is gradual
~ coming back to forest. Along the
fern-choked, :''Xpy.raced burrows,
young spruce s,Jhe up and in the
open sunshine take on vivid green.
And more than that-the symmetrical
branches are lively green clear to the
ground.
Christmas trees cannot be cut in
areas Of spruce forest. because when
they grow in dense clusters the un-
der branches die for want Of light,
and hence the trees have no value an
decorative Christmas trees.
Few, indeed, see the harvest. Ono
or two lonely partridge hunters, per-
haps. will see It as it lies covered
with the first early snow squalls In tho
mountains. But back in October, when
the days have not lost all of the mel
1owness Of autumn, gang of twenty
choppers will have been busily at
work cutting the scattering young
spruces and tying them with twine.
The cutting and bundling Is the
easiest part Of the harvest, for the
trees must be hauled for miles to the
railroad, and at this time of year the
mountain roads are nothing more than
frozen ruts and waterholes, Despite
this fact, however, heavy two-horse
wagons and even motor trucks, bris-
taing with great criblike bodies, strug-
gle slowly out, loaded high with the
trees. Two horses are able to draw
out at load about seventy trees of
average size.,,
At the chosen town on the railroad
every disused spot is hired and
mountain Of trees begins to grow, till
eight thousand Of them may be packed
