Calculating Rations
All Theories Modified by the In
dividualities of Cows.


1 doubt if there is one line of work
in our modern dairy instruction that
is of more real benefit to the dairy
farmer than the knowledge of how to
compound the various feeds so as to
form a complete and balanced ration
for the purpose intended, says L. w.
Lightly in The National Stockman. |
have spoken with many feeders who
have acquired the art of calculating
a ration from given number of feeds
and who had studied and observed the
effects Of different combinations, and l
think they all admitted that there is
not any one subject they ever mas
tered that was of more real value to
them. We can, Of course, have some
one compute a ration for us from the
feeds available, but that is rarely as
satisfactory as if we do our own figur-
ing and calculating and vary the ration
to suit conditions and circumstances.
In calculating ratiOns for our dairy
COWS the health Of our animals should
always have our first consideration.
Unless our cows are in perfect health
they cannot do their best, and an IN
healthy animal is an improbable ami
NAL. The next consideration is the eff
feet of the given feeds upon the salable
product milk, butter or cheese. And,
lastly, we must consider the digesti-
bility and cost Of the ration.
We may have calculated a ration
theoretically and scientifically correct
but on feeding it to two different COWS
the results might be quite dissimilar,
though both might be quite good dairy
cows. In my experience | find some
COWS will, on what we generally call a
standard ration, lay on too much fat,
but if | increase the protein and feed
q narrower ration the COWS will re-
main in normal condition and be very
profitable. Then. again, some of my
COWS will consume and digest a very
large amount of rOughage, which, be-
ing raised on the farm, is by far the
cheapest feed. This makes a wider
ration and may not produce quite as
many pounds of butter in year, but it
costs less per pound, and | make as
much profit as on the extra producers
that require more concentrated feed,
which, after adding transportation
charges and profits. is often quite ex-
pensiye Some COWS will absolutely
not lay on fat while in full flow of
milk, and these it pays to feed all they
can digest, but some are so sensitive
that they are easily overfed and will be
''off their feed for a few days. and the
milk flow will drop off corresponding
ly. To do our best we must be quite
intimately acquainted with our in
dividual COWS.

NOT ON THE TIME TABLE.
The Curious Reason For Which a
Train Was Side Tracked


In the rarefied atmosphere of the
high tablelands of Mexico objects that
are really long way off appear to be
close at hand. This has led to many
ludicrous mistakes on the part of tour
lists, and even on the part of those hay
ing a knowledge of the popularity of
the country.
The Mexican Central railroad has a
tangent (section of track in which
there is no curve) that is said to be the
longest in the world. 1t is over 60
miles in length, and locomotive head
long distance.
One evening a train rounded the
curve approaching this tangent, and
as it entered on the straight track it's
brakes suddenly began to grind. 1t
soon came to a standstill, and the con-
ductor, fearing that an accident had
befallen the engine, hurried forward,
and was shown by the engineer a light
that was twinkling and dancing on the
track directly ahead.
"A headlight, sure" the engineer
said. Must be an extra and the dis
patchers have overlooked it. for orders
do not mention it,
Guess you are right" the conductor
replied, "but 1 never knew the dis
patchers to be so careless before. Any
where but on this tangent there would
have been a collision and somebody
killed. We'd better move ahead slowly
to the next side track. We can't tell just
how near that train may be, and we
will wait for it to pass us there"
They reached the side track in safety,
and, drawing in on it, awaited the
coming of the other train. Half an
hour passed, and the engineer was
Tuning, wondering how much longer
he was to be delayed, when the con-
ductor called him to step out to the
main line.
What do you think of that head
light, noW?' he asked, when the engi-
neer had joined him. "Seems to have
got clear up and off the road"
The engineer gazed at the twinkling
light, then. 'Venus, by JUPITER he ex-
claimed. BILLY, we've side tracked to

Blaine and Thurman.

The senate has always been con-
trolled by lawyers, who are the aristo-
cratic class in the United States, and
Blaine was at disadvantage because
he did not belong to the profession.
The law lords were disposed to dis
parage and fout him, but he was dis
respectful to the verge Of irreverence.
"Does the senator from Maine think
| am an idiot"' roared Thurman, in
reply to an interrogatory Blaine put
to him one day in the Pacific railroad
debate.

TuhercuIin Test Trick.

The Philadelphia Medical Journal
asserts that certain breeders and deal
ers in cattle have been taking advan-
tage of the recognized fact that ami
mails tested with tubercu1in will not
respond to a second test for some days
after fever symptoms have abated.
The trick is to inject tuberculin at reg
ular intervals. so inspectors or buy
ers will get no unfavorable reaction to
their tests for tuberculosis.

SeDnra1Or Sediment.

Judging from the sediment left in
the bowl of a factory separator. it
would seem as if most farmers were
not very particular in straining milk.
Even in the most careful straining
there will be much sediment in the
separator. If this is allowed to remain
in the milk. it will influence to quite
an extent the quality of the butter

ACCURACY.

The idea that a strict fidelity to
truth demands accuracy is one which
is seldom entertained, but until we re-
ceive it as a principle and embody it
in action we shall never attain a high
degree of truthfulness.
