Tests conducted over a four-year period have shown that levels of protein usually recommended can be cut 3 or 4 per cent without loss of production. A ration of high- quality roughage, supplemented with farm grains, contains enough pro- tein to maintain a cow with above average production, * * * Three groups of cows were com- pared on a ration which differed only in- protein content. Corn, soybean meal were included in the concentrate, while corn silage, al- falfa and timothy were fed as rough- 10, 14 and 18 per cent.

Even if she eats only 25 pounds of rough- age per day, she ought to be able "to maintain body weight and pro- duce 60 pounds of milk. *¥ * * Red clover hay has less protein, and on 30 pounds per day, a cow probably caoild remain in good con- dition while producing 45 pounds of milk. At the 25-pound rate. she would need extra protein at milk- ing rates above 35 pounds per day. Timothy and other poor-quality grass hays are low in protein and are not attractive to dairy cows. Only an occasional cow would eat 125 or 30 pounds roughage of this type and even then she would need "large amounts of extra protein to produce at a profitable level. * * . On high-quality legume-grass pas- ture, cows can get more than enough protein for maintenance and high production, Alfalfa, an alfalfa- brome mixture, ladino and other clovers are high in protein when young and succulent. In another set of tests, cows were able to get 2V4 times their normal protein require- ments from rotationally grazed le- gume and rye-grass pasture. * * k- ° If pastures are made up of low- quality grasses, exfra protein prob- this type or on legume mixtures subjected to midsummer heat and drought, a grain ration with a pro- tein level of 12 per cent probably would be needed to be supplement- ed with 20 per cent soybean-oil meal to meet maintenance and pro- duction requirements. dency to weaken and he 'yolks to" than - wheat, beet pulp and 41 per cei age.

We did, however, select the New York Yankees, a team which the majority of prophets couldn't sec winding up better than third. * * * Still, duty is duty, so once more into the breach, dear friends, dread it as we may. Besides, there is a hunk of space to be filled up, the dead-line fast "approaches, so here goes--but with the warning that anybady rash enough to wager on these selections would be taking far less of a chance betting on wrestling matches. * * * In the National League, Brook- yn looks to be a cinch. They should have won last year, and probably would have done so but for a late- season slump occasioned, in all pro- . bability, by some of the Dodgers "getting the not-unusual notion that press clippings can win ball games. * * * Anyway, the figures show the Dodgers winning by a fairly com- fortable margin, their keenest con- tention coming from the Philadel- phia Phillies, whe figure to sag a bit from. their 1950 drive--a drive that SN § 7m = farm .machinery exposition a 'Machinery For Red Farms--A Russian machine for planting tomato and tobacco plants was among the agriculture machin ery from: 15 Kuropean nations exhibited at the 23rd 'annual t Versailles Gate in Paris.

"The Chameleon Metal" as it is known because it yields different coloured compounds, was first used in Great Britain by Robert Hadficld--"young Hadfield" --who in his father's Sheffield works sought a special steel for the avheels of tram-cars that had to grind up Yorkshire hills. Manganese steel possesses great strength and will support from 60 to 70 tons to the square inch. It is -s0 hard 'that it can be machined 'only with great difficulty, but it casts well and is used for parts - . which have to resist extra hard | weir. The propellors of the "Queen Mary" and "Queen Elizabeth" are made from manganese bronze, ob- tained by adding manganese to ordinary brass. The black oxide - of manganese is as old as vanity, for it was used to emphasize the eyelashes of an- cient Egyptian beauties.
