This is the conclusion drawn by the dairy departm ent of the New Jersey S tate College of A griculture, New Brunswick, front experim ents and farm experiences In New Jersey and elsewltere. In one Instance, a dairym an of this state claimed repeatedly thut he could secure Just us high a produetlon from a ration of good alfalfa hay and Arat elas* corn silage as from one contain ing also u liberal am ount of grain con centrates. Investigation showed, how ever, that he was giving the cows large Hinounts of very choice alfalfa ha.v and was not. forcing them to eat It up clean, hut allowing them to pick out only the leaves und tender parts. The left-over stem s were fed to horses. T his dairym an failed to ap preciate th a t the cows w ere not e a t ing alfalfa hay, but chiefly alfalfa leaves, which contain nearly as much crude protein us gluleu feed, and not much more fiber than oats. All the concentrates In a ration were replaced by alfalfa hay In a trial at th e New Jersey experim ent stutlon. A ration consisting of 17.5 pounds of alfalfa hH.v and 35 pounds of corn s i lage was com pared with a ration con taining it pounds of concentrates rich In protein, fed with corn silage and corn stover. T his la tte r ration was fa r from Ideal, for it contained no legume hay. It produced, however, over 20 per cent more milk and but- lerfat than the alfalfa hay and silage ration. In a six-year lest at the Illinois ex perim ent station It was found tliaT cows fed some grain In uddltlon to silage and alfalfa hay stayed in bet te r condition Ihan those fed silage und alfulfu hay alone.

II. C. H enderson, poultry specialist In the South D akota S tate college ex tension service, says th a t pullets which come Into laying with weak frum cs and undeveloped bodies usual ly break down .under the struln of egg production during the w inter months. He advises a careful feeding program for pullets so th a t they will have th e surplus body fat so necessary to heavy egg production. "F eeds containing protein nnd min erals are essential for proper grow th of bones, feathers nnd muscles," he says. “Skim milk. If available In suf ficient quantity. Is an excellent feed. T he birds should he given access to the milk at all times. It can be fed eith er In the sw eet or sour form. “If the milk Is lim ited, p art of the protein may be supplied through the use of m eat scraps or tankage In a mash m ixture." A dry mash m ixture which H ender son advises for satisfactory develop m ent of pullets Is composed of one part each by w eight of cornm eal, ground heavy oats, w heat bran, Hour middlings and tankage. One pound of sa lt should be added to each 100 pounds of mash. If a lim ited am ount of milk Is available, one-half p art of tankage may be fed in the piash. Dry mash should he kept in the hoppers before the bird# a t all times. Grain Is necessary for the proper storing of a reserve of fat In th e body, states the specialist. I.ate hatched pullets should he forced heavily with both bran and mash to develop flesh and bone, essential . In continuous heavy egg production. E arly hatched pullets, th a t are well developed and a re coming Into Inying should be fed heavily on grain feeds and sparingly on dry mash. T he pullet flock must carry a surplus of lualy flesh, obtained prim arily from grain feeds, If they are to give profitable w inter egg produc tion.
