Feeding Cows Grain In Summer.

Cows which have all the sweet past
ure grass they need do not need othe,
food. They will give the most and the
best milk on an abundance of good grass
that they will on most any feed. Few
COWS. however, are supplied with all the
pasture grass they can consume. The
larger part of our pastures soon get
short OF feed and the cows do not OBJ
tain all they want to eat. As a conse.
quence COWS generally begin to fall of
in their milk soon after July sets in.
and the falling off of milk Continues
each month until late in the autumn.
when it is found the cows are nearly
dry. Many farmers provide a supply Of
corn fodder to feed the cows in Aucust
and September, but this is not soon
enough to begin giving the extra feed.
Oftentimes the cows have shrunk one.
third or one-half in their milk before
the corn fodder is ready for them. and
after the flow is once diminished il is
increased with much difficulty. As
soon as the pastures begin to fail the
cows should be furnished with addi-
tional food sufficient to maintain their
full quantity of milk. 1t does not paw
to allow herd of cows to shrink one
third or one-half in their milk before
the summer is gone. and there is no
need of it. BY feeding grain of some
kind the flow of milk may be main.
tanned throughout the summer and even
late into the autumn. Corn meal, bran
and cottonseed meal are all good for
feeding for this purpose, and the return
in milk, butter and cheese will amply
repay the outlay. At no season of the
year will better return be obtained
for the amount of grain fed to milk-giv-
ing cows than in the summer when the
pastures begin to fail. In winter the
cold weather causes part of the grain to
go to maintain in the animal warmth,
but in the summer very little food is
required for this purpose. and it is near
~ all converted into milk or flesh. It
is to be hoped that many of our farm
ers will try feeding grain this summer.
Begin as soon as the quantity of milk
begins to diminish, and feed inst
enough to maintain full 6ow. 1t will be
found that such feeding will paw. Not
only will the total amount of milk OBJ |
tanned during the summer and fall be |
largely increased, but the cows also |
will be IN good condition for winter |
dairying, giving good mess of milk. |
The cow is milk machine, and the |
more food each COW can economically |
work over into milk the greater the |
profit from dairying. Never allow the |
machine to become idle in part for want |
Of sufficient supplies of raw material |
