FEEDING COWS,

What and when cows should be fed
are problems that have not yet been
fully solved by all dairymen. Feed
tests have been made in the past, the
results Of which will support one theory
for time, and then other plans will be
found to be equally satisfactory under
other conditions. All the conditions
will have to be taken into consideration
that the problem may be solved and the
surroundings of particular farm will
have to be considered for that farm.
Investigating along certain lines Of ef-
feet of feed on the flavor of the milk and
butter, the Wisconsin experiment station
has made some tests in feeding silage to
cows. 1t was discovered that silage fed
to COWS shortly before milking gave a
sweet odor, which could be readily de-
tected. When this milk was made into
butter this odor could be detected in
that, but when the butter was sent to
Chicago the experts there gave the but
ter higher score on the flavor than that
made from cows that had eaten no en-
silage. IL was also discovered that when
the ensilage was fed soon after milking
in a majority Of cases no odOr could be
detected in the milk at the next milking.
Again, number of cans of milk were
set in the silo upon the ensilage for one
hour. A portion of this milk was put
into cans and placed with milk that had
not been put in the silo, and competent
persons were called to pass upon it. Out
Of l20 thirteen wrong cans were selected.
The object was to dispose of the objec-
tionable features Of feeding ensilage to
dairy cows, and to learn when it should
be fed for best results.-Live Stock In
