experiments In Feeding
At the recent annual meeting of the As
sociation of Ayershire Breeders ut New
York, DIR. Gardner read paper on the
Dairy Cow. in which the important points
of the animal wero pointed out. Locality
must be considered in choosing n COW. In
the most favorable circumstances the
Short Horn or Hereford nav be more
profitable, while under uniuyorable con-
ditions the Ayrshire is better. The per-
fect COW is hard to produce. She must
have a proper form, and be fine for milk.
butter and flesh. The AYRSHIRE is the
leading Scotch COW. and is well adapted
to many parts of the United States. 1t is
important to get a COW that will improve
in its new home. The AYRSHIRE il II
sprightly, noisy COW that fattens quickly
when dried of. She gives n large onount
of milk, and holds ont better titan the
grade. She is fine cow for the house
hold, and yields milk that is especially
well suited for children. The AYRSHIRE,
MS scaled by Prof. Sheldon. stands first in
two points, while no other breed is ahead
in more than one. 1t is impossible to on
pect all of the best qualities in any one
breed.
Dir. Sturtevnnt, director of the New
York Experiment Station at Geneva, gave
talk upon Feeding Cows fur Butter.
Many dairymen ask the question. what is
tine influence OF food upon butter To
answer this question, if possible, n series
of experiments has been begun. Four
Jersey cows were selected to represent
the average of dairy herds, and have been
kept i'll building erected for the pur-
pose They have been weighed daily,
and careful accounts kept of the feed Civ
en- them. Samples OF the fodder have
been analysed The water was all weigh
ed and the excrement saved weighed
and examined. A chart was shown on
which was given the amount Of cream
and butter fat, and also the butter obtain
ed from the milk Of the four cows for a
long period. Tie butter fat was obtain
ed by analysis, and the butter by means
Of the churn. There is variation in the
cream from day to day almost us much
with the same feed as during change
from one feed to another. The feed OF
hay, corn meal and bran gave nearly the
same amout Of fat by test as butter by
churniug, the line for absolute fat and
butter running close together. When
bran was fed there was sometimes more
butter than fat. With corn meal there is
only the average Of butter, while there is
a considerable increase of fat. Corn meal
is, according to this experiment, the poor
est feed of the lot for butter. The change
from the hay, corn meal and bran ration
to hay and bran, us also from the latter
to hay and gluten meal were all sudden
but the change to ensilage was necessari
" gradual, MS the cows would not feed or

the line of butter came very close to, anc
was nearly parallel with that showing tn,
fat, or in other words the fat is nearly al
extracted in churning.
