Cost of Growing Pasture. 
In growing pasture the cost of caring for the pasture crops 
could be accounted by the College Farm. Since most of the ani¬ 
mals kept upon the pastures belong to another department who kept 
a record of their own, no attempt was made in this publication to 
record returns or carrying capacities of such pastures. Thus the 
costs given in Table No. 49 are only those labor and machinery 
costs which involve the College Farm Department. Labor of car¬ 
ing for the animals pastured thereon is not herein recorded because 
of this departmental arrangement. This is probably a fair repre¬ 
sentation of the amount of labor required to maintain a pasture, 
but has no reference whatever to the labor required to look after 
the stock carried by such a pasture.
