Feeding the Milk Maker

When the ''dog days" come and your
neighbor, who depends on the scant
pasture, with possibly a little dis
t1llers' grains, finds his butter threat
ening to turn into oil the minute it is
taken off the ice, then it is more than a
pleasure to have butter to stand up
nice and solid even in careless hands.
1t makes sales. It makes profits, says
l.. W. Lightly in National Stockman.
From two to four pounds of cottonseed
meal per COW daily will invariably do
this. 1 know of no feed that has SO
decidedly an effect on the frmness of
the butter; and when COWS are on
pasture or are fed silage it is a per-
fectly safe and wholesome feed if fed
in moderation.
TuPnips as Dairy Feed.
The feeder must use judgment. He
cannot take COW off short pasture
and feed large ration Of turnips
without getting bad results, says a
New York farmer in American Agricul-
turist. She must be worked up grad
ually, beginning with less than half as
much. In 1901, wishing to plow a
cornfieh for winter rye, stopped feed
ing second crop clover to clear the
piece Of turnips, with results greatly
in favor Of turnips as milk producer.
1 do not guess at this, as 1 weigh each
milking and know what did.
Experiment With Feed.
Experiment with the different kinds
Of grain sold for feed and settle on a
mixture that will give the least cost,
says a farmer in American Cultivator,
but use common sense in either case
and do not stuff one COW while you
starve one beside her. Feed and wa
ter at the same hour every day, and
look after the small things. It is these
little things that give you profit or
cause you loss.
Left Over Fodder.
When a COW leaves grain or hay in
her manger, showing she was fed too
much or is out of condition, do not
leave it there to wait until she does
eat it, says H. G. Manchester in Rural
New Yorker. Food left IN the mange1
and breathed upon by -he COW soon
becomes repulsive, and it will take
her longer to get back an appetite
than if you cleaned out the manger
leaving it bare until another feeding
time. Then if she acts greedy give bel
a taste and more if she needs it. By
right feeding and watching of COW:
they will scarcely ever get off theil
feed.
