Appetizlng Rntions for CoMA.

A variety in the ration makes the
feeds more palatable, inducing the COW
to eat q greater quantity and yield
more milk. Whatever makes the feed
taste better or makes it more enjoy
able to the COW increases its value for
milk production. Early cut hay is
best for the dairy COW, not only be.
cause it contains more protein than
that cut late, but because its aroma
and flavor make it more palatable to
the COW. The appetizing effect from
the early cutting and careful curing of
all forage crops increases their feed
value for milk production. Freshly
harvested and freshly ground grain
are the most palatable to the dairy
COW and will give best results. Dairy
men who grind feed should grind often,
as grain that has lost it's freshness is
not the best relished by the COW.
Often the dairyman has large
quantity of coarse, rather unpalatable,
rough folders, such as corn fodder
and oveiripe or slightly damaged hay,
which he must feed, and has only Il
limited quantity of choice roughness
to feed with it. In this case, best re-
suits can be secured by giving the more
palatabls roughness in the morning or
with the grain night and morning and
feeding the poorer roughago as the
last feed at night, to be eaten at the
cows pleasure during the night, or
else put in racks in the yard for mid
day meals. Palatable feed in the morn.
ing gives n contented COW through the
day, and this contentment brings more
milk.
When several kinds of feed ai given
it is usual to throw them together into
the manger and let the COW eat at will.
This method does not secure the high
est milk yield. Bulletin 81, Kansas
experiment station. You do not want
your soup and pie served together ON
the same plate, and neither does the
COW like this method of serving her
food. If all the feedstutfs for a meal
are thrown together, the most pala-
table are eaten first. In separating
and eating these, the others are
unused" over and when the COW
comes to eat them, they do not taste
good aud she will not eat enough to
produce the greatest milk yield. We
like to feed our most oalatable rough
ness and give this just before the
mixers go to their meal. When the
mixers come back from eating, the
cows have finished their first feed and
the less palatable roughness can then
be given them. 1t will not then have
been slobbered on, and it will be bet
ter relished and more of it eaten. This
method of feeding requires time and
care, but it pays.
If the cows are given their rough
feeds in racks out of doors, it will pay
to put feed in these racks often, SC
that the feed will be clean and appe,
tizing. Managers, feed troughs anj
racks should be kept clean and fresh
from old, soiled feed, both as matter
of health and because the food in 6
clean manger smells and tastes better
The dairyman's rule should be to har
vest feed in its most palatable form
and give it to the cows in the most mp
petizing manner. r.-American Agricul

Most dairymen and farmers who
feed cattle in any quantity agree that
ground food is a decided saving in the
cost of rations besides being of great
benefit to cows in showing nn increase
of milk. When grains, and especially
corn, are to be ground care should DO
taken that the work is done by ma
chine that will crush the feed thor
oughly--not cut, but mash it, In this
way it is easily digested, while if sim
ply cut the particles are sharp, irritn-
ting to the digestive organs and apt to
cause scours. Whether the feed be
ground fine or coarse is matter Of
opinion, although of course the animal
will masticate it more or less, and if
fine aud bolted by the animal it will
do no particular harm. As corn is so
largely used for feed, particularly
when ground food is used, much dis
cussion has been raised as to whether
the cob should be ground and fed
with the grain. While it is admitted
that the cob has no nutritive value, it
may be used when bran is not to be
had to tighten the heavier grain. The
main point is to have all grain food
mashed rather than cut in the grind
ing and have il of the best grade.

One Of the homes OF the great DAT

longing to the Maitre Caillet, a Paris
notary, in 1859, NJ. de Grouchy has
found an inscription stating that Mai
tire Pierre Cadeau does let and duly
devise to Pierre D'Artagnan, chevalier,
brigadier-captain and major-general Of
the kings army, a house with large
entry, situated in the Rue de Richie

This interesting Giscovery-and it is
amusing to note that D'Artagnan
should choose a house in the street

is rendered doubly interesting from the
fact that it clears up once and for all
the vexed question as to D'Artagnan's
Christian name, which, unless Maitre
Caillet was in error, was Pierre.
