Specialist Say
Early Cut Hay
Makes More Milk
Caws will give more milk
when fed early cut, highly
digestible hay than when
fed hay that is cut later and
is less palatable. This was

land Conference held at the
Pennsylvania State Univer
sity

cr with the Agricultural time for growth of second
Experiment Station at Penn and third cuttings, produc-
State, said he found that mg better quality feed for
cows ate 5 5 less pounds of the season’s yield

duced 5 9 pounds more milk
from mixed hay (alfalfa,
timothy and clover), than
from orchard grass alone
All cows the Icsts were
fed equal amounts ot grain
Early harvest ot the first
SPREAD IT NOW ON FROZEN GROUND
ly harvest means less forage
produced per acre To ofls-t
loss of yields m Central
Pennsylvania, the studies
show that legumes should
be cut first when in late bud
or very early bloom With
this harvesting schedule,
high quality nutrient yields
will be nearly maximum
The studies have also
shown that common orchard
grass must be cut very
early sooner lhan most
dairymen can get started
to make acceptable quality
feed for high f producing
cows The orchard grass ma
tured about two weeks ear
lier than the altalfa-timothy
clover mixture.
Poor Pjugs
Gas Wasters
Tests Show
If you think you can tell
when it’s time to change the
spark plugs in a tractor by
the sound of the engine, bet
ter take “a good look "at the
results of a recent tractor
clinic over in Biglervilie.
There, some 19 area farm
ers who ,brought their trac
tors m for free dynamomet
er tests learned a standing
fact about spark plug per
formance in farm tractors—
the plugs’ actually can be
wasting a lot of gas and
power without showing any
signs of misfiring
One Pennsylvania fanner,
in fact, was "astounded to see
the horsepower in his tractor
almost double when new
spark plugs were installed.
Not only' did the tractor’s
horsepower increase from 20
to 39 5 when new plugs
were installed m place of
those which had been in the*
tractor for, three years, fuel
economy increased an im
pressive 20 per cent a
gas savings of twenty cents
on a dollar in this particular
case
Obviously the results ob
tained’ here are an extreme
case But how about the
other 18 tractors tested 9
Only one showed no im
piovement m either horse
power or' fuel economy when
new plugs were installed In
every other., case, new plugs
made a difference either
in fuel economy, horsepow
er, or both'
Average horsepower gain
for all the tractors tested
was a significant 91 per
cent; average increase in
fuel economy 9 6 per cent.
Purpose of the tests
which are being conducted
in major farm areas through,
out the United States is
to show farmers how worn
spark plugs can waste gas
and power without the farm
cr being aware' of the con
dition enough in most
cases to pay for new plugs
many times over
