Now, in the matter of raising crops for dairy purposes it bas been pretty conclusively proved that, acre for acre, COW peas give a greater amount f awd milk and butter fat than any otLu 1p that we can raise. It is not only the abundance of the crop produced to the acre, but the amount of nourishment which the crop furnishes. The cows like the cow peas, and they have their milk flow and quality improved. But there are soils and climates where may not be wise to raise cow peas 3 in those crops, who fats. This crop has many advantages which are thoroughly appreciated, and where it thrives well it cannot be ex- celled for dairy purposes, In consider- ing these two crops, however, for dairy purposes, it must be remembered that they both increase the dairy output much more when pastured green than pastured grass never yields nearly as much to the acre, In fact, nearly all the crops yield two or three times as much when cut and fed than when pas- tured, But the cows enjoy the pasture i better, and the grass enters more quick ] } of life, of of pasture and iV Imo ix nid mill the cow's tnd quaniny Undoubtedly the ideal practice 1s 10 part ent and feed the grass.
