When I was a boy, at home, it fell

to my lot to do the milking, Aorosg the road from us lived Dr. (Jrosby, who had a cow I had always admir- ed, although she seemed to be a con- firmed kicker. I was milking s. very quiet cow, which in every other respcct was much inferior to the Crosby cow. I proposed an ex- change. The doctor said he would make the exchange if my father was Willing. I spokc to father and he said I had to do the milking, and if I wanted to chance it to make the ex

end and my foot in the loop The

pail, and if he is selling the product of his herd on a. butter~fat basis, hc knows even less of the yield from each individual animal.

The main purpose of the cow-test~

ing association is to enable its mem- bers to hire a tester to keep the re- cords which in practice it is almost impossible for the farmer to keep for himself. The tester should arrive at tho farm in time for the afternoon milking, weigh the milk given by each cow in the herd, and take a sample of it to test for butter fat. At feeding time he weighs the feed given each cow and estimates as well the amount of roughage. He also keeps a record of food given to dry cows as well as those in milk, for it is obvious that the total cost of feed for the year must be taken into consideration. The fol- lwing morning the individual produc- tion of the herd is weighed again and if the ration is changed the feed also is weighed. Later in the day the Bab- cock test is used to determine the percentage of butter fat in each cow's milk. From these figures it is possible to estimate the amount or milk and butter fat given in a month by a cow set against it the amount of feed son-

association. This has been found to be about $550 a year, including the salary of the tester, the cost of the acid for the Babcock test, and miscel- laneous expenses. All expenses are usually borne by the members in pro- portion to the number of cows they own. Where the herds are large this may be $1 a cow, but generally it is $1.50 a year for each cow. To many farmers it may seem unnecessary to hire a man to do work which they themselves are perfectly capable of doing. The answer to this is that while the f0l`m9l' unquestinabiy could do it, it is likely that during the pres- sure of other work he would slight his tests. As a matter of fact the number of dairymen who actually do keep` records of their. work for the wllole year is insignificant; moreover, it is really cheaperlto have it done by the tester than to do it one’s self. Ex- perience has made the tester rapid and accurateyhe has at his flnger’sl ends the strength of thc acid he uses, the amount. to charge for 1-gughuge and concentrates, and the analysis of all the common feeds. It would take the average farmer a long time to be-

ducts had risen. The profit, however, to the dariymcn ill the association rose as well. For each cow it was in 1906, $22.23 and ill 1913 it was $51.08, or in an increase of $28.85. It certainly paid those dariymen, therefore, to employ a tester even if it cost them $1.50 a year for each cow.

Nei- Only do these records show

which cowe make or lose money for their owners, but they show to what extent each is profitable, the amount of feed given to each cow, and what kinds of feed at prevailing prices produce the most satisfactory finan- cial results.

and mammoth clove/rs, but thlsl spring shall include alfalfa. The more kinds of legumes suitable for early sewing the better. l I cover the seed with a weedcr go- llls ¢rosswise_ A light spike tooth barrow will answer also. When the rape is about six inches

high. which will be in six or eight wlaeks, depending on the season and the time of sowing, the hogs may be turned in. The mpc, barley and oats will furnish abundant pasture for about 25 shoots per acre.

LAST UNTIL LATE FALL,

In the meantime the timothy and

clovers are growing to supplant the maturing barley and oats, and with the rape will furnish a well balanced ration until covered with snow.

The economy of this plan is only

realized when one finds, as I have found in every trial, that the next year it furnishes the best meadow or pasture on the farm.

I also found it paid big to divide

this pasture into equal parts so as to pasture each alternately, at inter- vals of one or two weeks, and this can be done cheaply by stretching 28-inch woven wire, this will turn pigs, and with tuso barbed wires above will turn all kinds of stock.

Last year I supplemented such a hog pasture with Canada field peas on an adjoining lot, sowed as soon _as the frost was out of the ground (which was plowed the previous fall) the hogs having free access to both lots after the bulk of the peas were rlpc.

'1‘his lot, enriched by pea vines

and hog voidings, was plowed the latter part of July, rolled and har- rowed twice, and the 3rd of August I sowed alfalfa thickly in a seed bed that suited the fastidious tastes and cxclusiveness of this legume, Al- falfa regards every other plant as an intruder and weed, and hence the ne- cessity ior thick seeding in rich, well >preparcd ground.

DOUBLE SEEDING OF ALFALFA.

In this case I used a hand seeder

for sowing the alfalfa, going over the ground twice to get a more even distribution of the seed, using 12 .pounds each time.

I covered it by going over the

ground with e. wccder, then crossing, and the thick even stand and luxuri- ~ant growth made last fall proves the extra seed and work a good invest- -ment.

A good yearly rotation to make

cheap pork from spring pig? in six to seven months is as f0llows: A hog pasture as I have above describ- _ed, a suitable sixed patch of Canada peas which are best suited for north- ern sections; for southern sections soy beans and cow peas can be sub- stltuted, and R patch of sweet corn, an early and late variety separated by a hog fence when the early vanie- ty is ready to pasture, thus prolong- ing ths feeding season and avoiding waste.

I om. perfectly conddent that those

who try the above-mentioned plans of making hog pnsturcs will be en- tirely pleased with the results.-W. H. Underwood in Farm Life.
