Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1900-01-30
Tunbridge, Jan. Is, 1900.

Mr.. Editor:-I saw in your paper
the question in regard to the best ra-
ton for mich COWS. have found
the best ration have used:-Clover
hay, cotton seed meal, gluten meal
and corn ensilage.
The corn cut when the ears are in
about the right condition to roast.
NV method of feeding is as follows:
| have for several years raised all the
clover I could. ! run the clover and
any other hay l have and all dry
corn fodder through the ensilage cut
ter and thoroughly mix it. / feed en-
silage once each day with the grain
ration poured on to it in the manager,
and the dry ration once in the same
manner with the grain ration poured
on, | mix other hay with the clover
because the clover is apt to be loosen
ing to the bowels.
I regulate the quantity of feed both
hay and grain by the capacity OF each
COW, having all feed cut | can feed
from the basket just what each co"
will eat up, leaving no oats IN hel
manger.
For summer / consider white
clover and blue grass pasture with
ration of cotton seed meal the IDEA
ration, Butter made from COWS fec
cotton seed meal will keep its form OF
plate in hot weather when the but
ter from the same cows without COT
ton seed or with other meal or bran
will spread on the plate. calculate
to have about one half the dry fed IA
tion clover. l. f. Bennett.
Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1900-01-30

Q, was getting about 20 lbs. upland
hay; u lbs. cotton seed; Id. bran; 2
lbs. of mixture of 20 quarts barley
and 20 quarts Of corn and cob meal,
and 10 quarts of oats. The above
ration has the following analysis.
PROTEIN 147 lbs; carbohydrates 10
80, and fat 4S lbs. She had been
fresh about weeks when we doubled
the meal feed, making 2 quarts cotton
seed meal; g lbs.) 2! lbs. bran; lbs.
of the above mixture making s! lbs.
After feeding her this extra feed two
weeks she had gained from "a to 3s
lbs. of milk daily, and increased from
43 to 4S lbs. fat. The extra feed cost
26 cts. per day, the extra milk brought
81 cts. per day, giving a gain of II
cts, besides the extra value of the
manure.
Cow No. 2 is very rugged COW and
inclines to fat. She came in last Sep
TENDER and the last of November was
giving 81 lbs. daily of O-6 milk. We
increased her feed as above and she
gained lbs. daily but showed no in
crease in the per cent. of fat. She a
little more than paid for the extra
meal. Now we are feeding all of our
new mich COWS the increased ration
and think it pays.
The analysis of the increased ration
is as follows: PROTEIN 2.36; carbohy-
drates 1910 lbs. and fat 6.96 lbs. MI
tritive ratio 1858. A very good bal
anced ration. Next year we shall have
ensilage and believe the COWS will do
better. We have done good deal of
work making our stable warmer and
our COWS as comfortable as possible.
The prices of feeds must invariably
change our methods of feeding so no
iron-clad rule can be laid down. We
believe, however, that protein is the
most important nutrient that the Yer
mont farmer has to buy. Let us see
how much it costs in cottonseed meal,
and then see how much we can afford
to pay for gluten meal. Cottonseed
meal costs S1.30 here and has 43 per
cent. protein, which makes protein 3
cents per pound. Now gluten meal,
which has p per cent. protein, sells
for 81. 10 here. Multiply the p pounds
of PROTEIN in gluten meal by 3 cents,
the cost of a pound of PROTEIN in cot
tonseed meal, and we have 81 cents.
Which is the cheapest? Since July
25th we have been weighing our milk
and testing by Babcock test every
three weeks. If agreeable will report
results at the end of the year.
