In some cases oats is sown with rape, but the reduced yield of pasture does not seem to justify any benefit that may result from this practice. A combination in which oats docs work well is with Canadian field peas. Good pasture Is secured when a bushbushf el of oats and one and els of peas are sown per acre at the normal oat planting time. It yields forage at a time when other crops are short, though It matures quickly, and same. prompt use must be made The soy bean has use both for pasture and grain in pork production, although the latters use is much greater.

Feeding can overcome many of the objections made by wool buyers and sheep poorly fed and improperly housed cannot be expected to produce the fleeces desired by the wool trade. Shepherds need take care likewise to prevent. the fleeces from becoming filled with chaff. A good fleece can be reduced to a lower grade by becoming chaffy. This may happen when the flock runs to straw piles or when hay or other feed and bedding are thrown carelessly over the backs of the animals. Successful flock masters recommend keeping the wool clean and dry, and it pays. Live Stock Facts, Do your cows make you a profit above the cost of their feed, that is, a reasonable return for your labor? The cow testing associations are answering tills question for many dairymen. The yearly record of the association is the real standard of a cows production, for it shows what she will do under average conditions for the average farmer. The expense of belonging to an association is more than made up by discovering the cows that are not paying a profit. By careful selection and weeding out the poor ones, the average herd production in some cow testing associations has been raised to more than 9,X)0 pounds per cow a year. Many of the cows in these associations are making a profit above feed cost of $150 to $350 a year. If you have any surplus stock to dispose of recand can show by the ord that a cow has made, let us say, 1,000 pounds of milk, 350 pounds of fat and a profit above feed cost of $180, it will be no trouble to sell such a cow at a good price.
