Many who read the following may

form the house with the home .

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.

kinds of legumes suitable for early
sewing the better.

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.
