The hay grown upon the station grounds is of extra 

 quality, having a considerable sprinkling of clover, and 

 showing at best two per cent, more protein than the average 

 hay grown upon New England farms. 



Vetch and oats has the advantage over peas and oats in 

 that the vetch stands up much better, and can be easily cut 

 with a mowing machine. To secure the best results, the 

 crops should be cut when in early to middle bloom. If cut 

 when in late bloom the oats will have developed a consider- 

 able amount of woody fibre, rendering them less palatal)le 

 and diofestible.
