Permanent vs. recently seeded meadows, W. J. Beal, 1*ii. D. — 

 A report ou experiments on stiff claj' land which had been continuonsly 

 I)astured for 25 years or more. In 1888 a number of i>hits, 30 feet 

 square, were sown with grasses and clovers, singly or in mixtures. 

 Other i^lats were h-ft in permanent meadow. The yields from the 

 several phits in 1890 and 1801 are given in a table. The results varied 

 considerably in the 2 years. Alsike clover, orchard grass, tall oat 

 grass, and perennial ry«* grass have run out to a greater or less extrnt. 

 The land is also not adapted to alfalfa. The average yield of the 

 natural sod (timothy, June grass, and redtop) was comparatively 

 light. Relatively large yii-lds were obtained from tall meadow fes« iie, 

 red clover, timothy, and manmioth clover. By far the largest yield 

 was from a mixture of timothy, tall oat grass, orchard grass, tall fescue, 

 fowl meadow grass, red and mammoth clover, and Agropi/nim tcncrum.

Fccditiff crprnmeiits trifli milch (ows (])]). S-ijO). — Tlu- results an* 

 recorded for a test with one Jersey cow fresh in milk, whi«'h was fed 

 hay, wheat bran, and c(«rn meal during 3 nnuiths, the corn meal being 

 partly replaced at difterent times by cotton seed meaJ or jtalm nut meal. 



There appears to be no relation between the aI))nniinoitl coustitueuts of the food 

 digested and the amount of fat secured in the milk. There is. upon the other hand. 

 e.S])eeially during the fourth to seveuth i)eriods, [when palm uut m«'al was fed.] n 

 pretty close relation between the fat in the food and that recovered in the milk, 

 the food during these periods having contained over 95 per cent of the fat found in 

 the milk. ♦ » - 



[From the tabiilated yield of mornings" and nights' milk throngliout tlie trial it 

 appears] that while during the entire period the quantity of milk hourly secreted was 

 practically the same during the day and night, the amount of fat secreted was, ui»ou 

 an average, lli^ per cent greater during the hours of the day than during those of 

 the night. 



[In another case in which a .Jersey cow was feil ou wheat straw and corn meal, 

 the latter being jjartially substituted by gluten meal, and later on hay with corn 

 meal and wheat bran, the results showed] no relation between the (quantity of milk
