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 })rotein than the average 

 hay grown upon New England farms. 



Vetch and oats has the advantage over })eas 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 digestible.
