JERSEY AND HOLSTEIN CROSS. 
Kindly publish the enclosed picture 
for the benefit of Mr. J. G. Morse, whose 
advice on page 1211 I did not follow. 
This cow is a Holstein-Jersey cross, and 
will be three years old this March; 
dropped these twins on September 9, 
and to-day is milking 18 quarts of good 
rich milk. Just see what I would have 
lost had his advice been given three 
years ago. D. G. heidgred. 
New York. 
R. N.-Y.—This refers to the picture 
of the cow and twin calves printed on 
page 163. We have had several other 
protests against the statement that a 
cross between the Jersey and the Hol¬ 
stein will prove a failure. In theory 
this perhaps ought to prove true, and 
may sometimes work out to the theory— 
but there are evidently a good many 
of such half-bred cows that are mak¬ 
ing the theory look foolish. 
Sunflower and Corn Silage. 
I was interested in the item on sun¬ 
flowers in the silo. I used sunflower 
seed with my corn in 1911, with good 
results. I used four quarts of seed on 
three acres of land. I think it the hand¬ 
somest piece of corn I ever saw when 
in full tassel with the sunflower mixed 
through. As for the feeding value, I 
could not say, but I know they are good 
feed for cows. I never had my cows 
milk as well as when I was feeding that 
silage. It is a little more trouble to 
handle the corn with them in; they 
bothered the harvester some also in 
unloading; they would catch over the 
side of the rack. I was very glad 
to learn that mixed with corn the value 
of the silage is increased so much. 
There is one good feature about sun¬ 
flowers, namely, quick maturity. I 
think one would be safe to plant in 
when there are any missing hills, and 
be more sure of a crop than to plant 
in corn. I sfcn thinking of trying the 
Soy beans this season, and would ask 
through your columns which variety 
would do the best in central New 
York to be used with corn.

Picking the Robber Cow. 
I had two registered Jersey heifers, 
both two years old, standing side by 
side, and both due to freshen at about 
the same time in the Fall. They were 
both about the same size, and one had 
as good a chance as the other. I asked 
several people (good judges of stock) 
to pick the best one. Some picked one 
and some the other. I did this because 
I am a member of a cow-testing asso¬ 
ciation, and I knew that when they 
freshened we would soon have a line on 
them. However, I never dreamed of 
what actually did happen. They both 
freshened in the early Fall, and did 
fairly well, and as far as the eye could 
tell, or the scales either, they were not 
far apart. They were both fed prac¬ 
tically the same. Therefore if there was 
any difference in the profit from the 
two heifers the Babcock test must be 
relied upon to prove it—and it did. 
One of my books is not available at 
present, so I can not give the records 
for the entire year. But I will take 
the records the next Spring and Sum¬ 
mer, during the months of May, June, 
July, August and September. * These

Farm the Hills Too 
You don't have to own a prairie to use a tractor. A little planning, and 
a tractor will be as useful on sloping land as on level. Especially the 
_ Porte 
15-30 h.p. 
This tractor is so easily handled that it will go anywhere—it goes fast on level ground 
—slow on the hills—fast on the down grade and works at normal load at all times. 
You can haul with it—it carries supplies for a long trip. It weighs about 1 1,000 
pounds—is light for its power—well adapted to grades—powerful brake—easy control 
—convenient levers, low platform, bandy draw-bar, short turning.
