Having made the comparison which

Li decide whether it pays to buy bran

more than its equal Ea feeding valua
Hew many tons can you raise to the

aore,would 100W an amount of hay of
ss value than that, produced on an acre
of MITM10-11 clover. Alfalfa ranks near-
est the bran in feeding value, pound for
pound, and as its yiebil is greater than
the other legumes mentioned, it is easily
seen that it Is the most profitable to
grew. Some experiment statimis report
yields of from five tons up pr acre,
and eome growers have claimed as high
as ten tone, which steins fabulous.
Cowpeas make a very fair comparicion
nith bran and there is no question that
Iwo -or three tons can easily be ratsed
to the acre of the latter varieties at least,
though we have no doubt that the more
quickly growing sorts tho Ne,w. Era
and Whippoorwill would yield, that
amjunt of hay if the land is fairly fer-
tile.
The question for the farmer dairyman
to decide, then, is whether it pays to
buy bran, when by grow.ng legeurenous
plants the some elements may be fur-
nished, and a high price be gotten out

SELL MILK ON ITS MERITS.
Whenever the subject of a "state
standard"' for sale of milk is seriousiy
and intell gently considered, the &cis -
1071 is that there should be no state
standard of birder fat or non-fat sends,
and that rti,lk Waned be sold on test. No
other decisions -erns ponsihre. -No state
standard hos ever prevented adultera-

b ng of milk. If the standard calls for
4 per oerit. of butler fat, the midatereen
will instst that the producers put on
high fat and lew-yield tiews, and the
middlemen will. take the 5 or 6 per cent.
mi:k from -the farrnern and slum it

In no case is eonsurner benefitted by the
staniard. If the standard be abarshei,

consumer will be able to get what he

defrauded. In the ease of a product so
variable as milk, ranging from 1.0
