aPASTURELESS COW" THROWS
NEW LIGHT ON DAIRYNG

The dairyman cannot rely on pas
ture alone. for milk and make money
by doing so, according to the Lar
rowe Institute of Animal Economics.
Experiments on the comparative
value of grain and pasture, carried
on at the institutes research farm,
Bedford, Michigan, amply backs up
this statement.
1.-THE record of COW No. 76 in 1924
and 1925 is typical of the results OBJ
tanned in these experiments" states
the institute. "This COW is an ordi-
nary grade Holstein, and pretty
good producer. Throughout the
whole lactatfon, in 1924, she was
kept on a grain and hay ration with
absolutely no pasture. Throughout
the milking period she produced an
average of 3.6 gallons of milk per
day. At the end of the years lacta-
ton, she experienced normal de-
cline in milk production. She was in
splendid condition as a result of her
year-round grain ration, as she evil
denced by starting off her 1925 lac
tation by producing up to 5.4 gallons
of milk per day.
"a year ago this week this COW
went on pasture. For 10 days milk
production moved up but after the
first stimulus of the grass tonic wore
off, she fell steadily in milk as her
grain ration was reduced. Two
months after she went on pasture,
she was receiving two pounds OF
grain per day. Her production has
dropped from 4.6 gallons per day to
2.6 gallons. The production continu-
ed to drop off until the 28Oth day
when she was only producing IL
gallons daily as against almost J
gallons daily in the previous lacta-
ton at the same time.
'No dairyman could ask for more
convincing proof that the reliance on
grass alone is costly and that reg
ular grain ration with pasture
throughout the summer pays real
dividends in milk production.

The three-mast schooner, Annie P.
Chase, of Boston, which lost its rud-

The committee now proposes to pre-

confirm the laying out of such a
road and that 1t be maintained by the

lightning is nothing more than
gigantic electric spark, the passage OF
millions of volts of electricity between
an overhead cloud charged with
atmospheric electricity and the earth
current of an opposite charge. The
atmosphere being poor conductor Of
electricity resists the discharge
through it, and on account of this re-
sistance the path of the discharge is
made white hot-what we see as a

Such help as we can give to each
