sEimming stations in Kansas and the
large number of dairymen who make
butter from their own milk are alike In
terested in securing a large milk produc-
tion next winter, as the winter price for
dairy products is much above that paid
In the summer. At the college we are
constantly being asked What crops
shall the dairy farmer put in this spring
90 as to secure the highest milk yield
next winter with the least expenditure
for feeds that cannot be raised on the
farm?" AS an aid in solving this ques-
ton, we have prepared list Of forty
fVe rations for a 1,OO0-pound COW In full
milk.
