The Is Worth Considering.

Experiments recently made nt the Michigan Experimental station show that about four times as much feed is obtained from n meadow nllowed to mature hny as from n field pastured. In soiling, the difference would probably not be so great, owing to the fact that the grass, or peas, or alfalfa, or whatever Is grown for the purpose. Is cut before it fully matures, but even then from two to three times the number of animals ,cnn be supported by soiling as on pasture.—Prairie Farmer.
