ABSTRACT

Arkansas

Prof. H. E. Dvoradhek of the dairy department, University of Arkansas, reports some investigations in progress in the use of legume crops as silage for dairy cattle. Cow peas and soy beans are used in combination with corn and cane. A progress circular or bulletin may be published soon. The Arkansas station is also doing some research work on the cost of raising dairy cattle.

California

Among the recent publications from the California University Dairy department is a circular on the subject "The Babcock Test for Butterfat in Milk, Cream and Skimmed Milk," by J. C. Marquardt and a bulletin on "The Use of White Fir and Choice Lumber in the Manufacturing of Boxes Used for Shipping and Storing Butter," by Prof. S. D. Turnbow who scored the butter when it was placed in the boxes and will also make examination at frequent intervals. In California there has been a prejudice against the use of boxes made from any other than spruce lumber.
