LINCOLN. April 3. (Special.)-Tho No
braska Experiment station has Issued n bul
letln containing reports on pnsturago tests
of n number of annual forage plants, and
also n comparison of pasturage and feed
ng cut forage. Tho pasturago tests of
forago crops made In IStiS wern with a
few exceptions duplicated last year, tho In
tentlnn being to nolo such variations as
might bo Induced by n difference of climatic
conditions or In tho Individual prcfcrcnco
or aversion of Animals for u certain feed
Tho crops tested were rye, oats and pens,
Indian corn, millet, sorghum, Knfflr corn
nnd cow pens, as representing tho annuals,
also alfalfa nnd nwnless bromo-grass. Rec
ords wero kept of tho amount of pasturage
nfforded. nnd tho effect of the feed upon
tho production of m.llk nnd butter fat.
Tho crops giving the largest amounts of
pnsturago wero ryo and sorghum, Indian
com nnd millet gave less pasturago than
any of tho other annual forago plants.
A I fnl fa and nwnless bromo-grnsH gave tho
least pasturago of any, tho former affording
considerably tnoro than tho latter. It must
bo borno In mind, however, that the annuals
may bo pastured during only a certain
period of each season, whllo tho alfalfa nnd
hromc-grnss furnish feed early and late.
Cowpeas and nlfalfa Increased most
largely tho yield of milk nnd butter fnt
Next to these camo rye, oats nnd pcaB
sorghum, Kaffir corn and awnlcss brome
grass,
Cowpons produced an actually greater
quantity of milk and butter fnt from a given
nrea of land than any other crop.
A comparison was made of the amount
of feed produced and the effect upon tho
yield ot milk nnd butter fat when certain
crops were pastured and whon they wero
cut and fed. Tho crops so tested were
nlfalfa, sorghum and Indian corn. In thu
enso of each of these, from two to thrco
times as much feed was procured from a
given atea of land when the crop was cu
and fed as when II wns pastured.
The same tests Indicated that tho nver
ago dally production of milk and butter fat
was greater for tho same feed when It was
pastured than when cut nnd fed. This on
nn nvcrngo amounted to 1.17 times greater
butter fat production from tho pastured
than from tho soiled crop.
