HOW TO FEED cows IN II FALL

The Buffalo LiUe Stock Journal says corn
and oats mixed half and background fine
and fed in the form of II slop, three to four
quarts to each COW per day, will cause IL good
flow of rich milk and pay the whole expense
in the eAtra condition of the cow. Corn
meal alone is not the best milk-producing
food, as it contains too much starch or car
bonaceous matter, and is thus better for fat
tening. We would not condemn corn meal,
but would advise its use where it is more
easily obtained, yet if the best result is ex-
pected, it should he mixed with cut hay,
corn stalks or other coarse food. We believe
that feeding corn meal alone and dry to cows,
has often produced garget and many stomach
diseases. We see reported in the Practical
Farmer an experiment by Benjamin Sharp
less, in feeding wheat bran to cows in July
while on good pasture, to ascertain whether
the increase in milk made it pay. Cow No.
| had been giving milk 200 days, and on six
cents worth of bran gained five and a-half
pounds of milk, worth eight ~cents-proft,
two cents per day. Cow No. Q had lately
come in, and on six cents worth of feed gain
ed seven and a-half pounds, worth ten and
sevcn-eighths cents-profit, four and seven
eighths cents. When the bran was doubled
No. l being so far from calving did not pay.
No. 2 showed a profit of two and a-halfc cents
per day; but it was evident that so much
feed was not profitable in addition to good
pasture. 1t will readily be seen that if six
cents worth of bran could be fed ut II profit
on good pasture in July, it must pay literally
fed on short pasture in the fall.

IN JAPAN.

A Yankee dairy in Yokohama, Japan, is
astonishing the natives with its operations.
1t is the property of IN American firm, who
supply most Of the foreign residents with
milk and occasionally make IL few pounds of
butter. The dairy occupies II space of about
rs by LIS Feet, with n yard in the center,
and tiled buildings on two sides, which
the buildings consist of sliding panels,
which are removed in the day time, and the
stock let out in the yard to enjoy the sun
shine. The stalls have passageways running
in front and the rear, thus admitting of the
examination of the animals and feeding
them without disturbance, and also keeping
them clean. The feed consists of native
white-grnss equal to middIings), boiled po-
tatoes, and Japanese hay, the latter in sum-
mer being replaced by fresh grass cut on the
adjoining hills and vale by women. The
COWS are all American or English stock, the
most having been imported from San Fran
cisco.
The Japanese take great interest in the
dairy. and often visit the premises to exam
inc and take notes, with view of initiating by
the establishment of another in the interior,
where they have quite II quantity of foreign
cattle, to breed, in place of native stock,
which is quite inferior. The Japanese cat
tie are very dimlnutive. averaging from 4OC
to 500 lbs. live weight, and the bulls IRE
used to a limited extent us pack animals.

SHORT HORNS AS MIXERS.

A correspondent of the Michigan Farmer
writes
l notice an article in your paper from the
Country Gentleman regarding Short Horns
rs mixers, in which the statement is made
by II Central New York correspondent, of
his getting "a quarts of milk in one day,
from n Herd Book cow. l don't know us |
can beat that. but think | can furnish addi-
tional evidence to show at least that Short
Horns are not always poor mixers. l had
n heifer four years old the 23d of last May,
that dropped her third calf on the 10Th of
same month. She is now averaging AZ
pounds of high colored and rich looking milk
daily. The recent hot and sultry weather
has been unfavorable for butter-making,
hence | can only state that rs II butter-mak-
er she appears fully as good as either of eight
others we are now milking, some of which
give about the anne quantity. She is neces-
sarily small from having been bred so young"
