A BALANCED RATION.
why Dairymen Cannot Afford 40 Feed
AnythtnE Else N They Want
to ProSpez.

The other day, standing on the
streets of Fort Atkinson, we listened
to group of dairy farmers talking
about the difficulties and expense OF
feeding their cows the past winter,
says the editor of Hoard's Dairymsn.
1t was really interesting, much so for
the reason that it was astounding to
hear men who pretend to be dairymen
give evidence, as they did, of profound
ignorance of the real economies OF
dairy feeding. One man said he
wouldn't buy bran or gluten meal, SIS
per ton for the first and $24 for the
second 81 feed ground corn and OATS"
said he II raise my own feed, and
know it's cheaper" We ventured to
ask him If he could tell what oats were
costing him per ton when they were
selling at IS cents bushel. WELL"
said he, II don't know exactly, but L
do know they are a good deal cheaper
than bran or gluten" The man was in
reality paying $2s.i2h per ton for his
Dat feed, because that was the price
oats were selling for. Another man
said he wasn't feeding any grain, and
all 1 get is clear gain" Finally one
farmer, noticing, no doubt, that we
were somewhat interested in the con-
versation, asked us to tell why any
one should feed balanced ration
II have looked over the Dairyman
time and again." he said, land can't
make head or tail out of what you say
when you fix up those rations for the
men who write you. Is it all humbug,
or what is it?"
We asked this farmer if he had ever
given the subject of feeding dairy cows
any study, and he admitted be had not.
All the men in the group, numbering
half dozen, confessed that they were
in the same boat. Now, here were six
farmers, with large herds of cows, all
financially interested in getting all
they could from their cows, and vet
not one of them considered it worth
while to stop and look into the feed
ing question to see if it was not worth
looking into.
There is confession of childlike
weakness here that is almost pitiful,
and yet it is the condition OF a great
mass of the men who keep cows
These men were all agreed that they
/ WOuAO AOJ guy DIdu at Slo per ton, but
they would feed-oats at SIS a ton. In
answer to the question; "Why should
we feed balanced rationP" we under
took TO explain as follows:
We should feed a balanced ration
because the COW is compelled TO pro-
duce in milk perfectly balanced food.
BY that we mean that all the elements
IN the milk are balanced up to relative
percentage of each food element in It.
The cow cannot help herself. She can
not drop off the percentage of the car
bohydrates OF protein, or fat, II the
farmer doesn't know enough or is too
stingy to supply her with any of those
elements. What does she do? Simply
this; She reduces the amount of her
milk until the quantity is reduced to
an amount that she can balance from
the food she gets. Therefore, we
should feed the COW balanced ration
in order that she may keep up her
milk flow to the point of good profit to
the owner. {

scorched flour for scour..

A California reader of Hoard
Dairyman reports having had good
success, as many others have had, in
using scorched flour as remedy for
scours. He browns cup of wheat
-four, mixing IL first with a little cold
milk to prevent cooking. then stirs it
into boiling sweet milk, either
skinned OF new, and gives the product
to the calf quite warm; continues this
manner of feeding as long as there is
any trouble, and in one or two days
the calf is generally well. II is a good
plan to continue the -four, but without
EcorchIng, for some days longer.

The thinness of the neck on top and
the fairness on the side characteristic
of the type are very well shown. The
fneness of the neck where it blends
with the head and the freedom from
dewlap show breeding and quality.
The spareness of flesh desired in
the dairy type and the flatneSs Of the
neck where it joins the shoulder make
the neck vein very marked in this class
of animals-so much so, in fact, that
the shoulder seems to be abnormally
developed when compared with the

ing, when he, the grand-juryman, as
