ing. But this is not so. The New York
Experiment Station has gone pretty
we'll TO the bottom of this matter. and
here are the facts from a recent bul.
letin:
L. A COW fed during nlnety-five days
on a ration from which the fat had
been all nearly extracted continued TO
when fed on the same kind of hay and
grain in their normal condition.
2. The yield of milk fat during the
nlnety-five days was GO pounds. The
food fat eaten during this time was
11.6 pounds, 81 only of which was d.
Sested, consequently at least 3T.2
pounds of the milk fat must have had
some other source than the food fat
3. The milk fat could not have como
from previously stored body fat. This
assertion is supported by three con.
siderations. (l) The cows body could
have contained scarcely more than
sixty pounds of fat at the beginning of
the experiment. (2) she gained forty.
seven pounds in body weight during
this period of time with no increase of
body nitrogen, and was judged to be
much fatter COW at the end: (3) the for.
nation of this quantity of milk fat
would have caused marked condition
of emacation, which, because of an
increase in the body weight, would
have required the improbable increase
in the body of 104 pounds OF water
and intestinal contents.
4. During fifty-nine consecutive days
3S.8 pounds of milk fat were secreted,
and the urine nitrogen was equivalent
to 1873 pounds of protein. According
to any accepted method os interpreta.
tlon, not over seventeen pounds of fat
could have been produced from this
amount of metabolIshel protein.
5. This quantity of milk secreted
bore definite relation neither TO the
dlgestible protein eaten nor to the eX-
tent Of the protein metabollshed. In
view OF these facts 1t is suggested that
the well-known favorable effect upon
milk secretion OF a narrow nutritive
ratio Is due in part to a stimulative,
ana not only TO n constructive function
Of the protein.
G. The composition of ihe milk bore
no definite relation TO the amount and
kind of food.
Z. The changes in the proportion of
milk solids were due almost wholly to
changes in the percentage Of fat.

Question of the Balanced Ration.

Most dalrymen find that they get the
best results from their cows during
the month of June, when they are pas
turing on luxurlant grass. In supply
ing winter feed 1t should be the aim to
get Just as near June conditions as
possible.
Analyses of fresh mixed pasture
grasses show digestible nutrients as
follows Protein, 2.5 per cent; carbo-
hydrates, 1912; and fat, o5. From this
it will be seen that there is a liberal
supply of protein, and If we are to
approximate these conditions in winter
it is necessary to furnish feeds that
contain plenty of protein. Where cows
have been wintered on feeds deficient
in protein the milk flow is greatly stim-
ulated and the yield is greatly in
creased when turned on pasture. The
experience of this station is that when
we continue TO feed plenty of protein
there is not this difference in turning
cattle on pasture.
In test conducted with twenty-one
cows, in the spring of 1899, we found
that in lot of eleven that were turned
on pasture there were seven cows that
gained in the yield of milk while four
lost, the average being a weekly gain
of 3.6 pounds per COW. Eight cows
out of eleven gained in the per cent.
of butter fat the average being 0.1S of
one per cent. One COW lost both in
yield and in test, while three others lost
in yield and gained in test. There
were five cows that gained both in
yield and in test. This shows that
there was very little gained in total
production by turning on pasture, but
this is accounted for by the fact that
the cows previous to being on pasture
We're fed literally on n ration contain
ing plenty of protein. At the same
time that we carried on the pasture
experiment. n lot of ten out of the
twenty-one were fed on soiling crops.
These cows did not yield as well as
those on pasture, as might be expected
in early spring. when the grass is
green and succulent. Only three cows
out of ten gained in the yield of milk,
the average result being a weekly loss
of AZ pounds per cow, Seven COWS
gained in the per cent. of butter fat,
the average being gain of 900 of one
per cent AS in the pasture lot, one
COW lost both in yield and in test. and
six lost in yield but gained in test.
AS far as the experience of the station
goes, when cows are kept on liberal
ration that is well balanced and APP
proaches the conditions existing with
June grass, there is very little increase
in yield and practically no decrease in
test due TO pasture or soilng crops

Sheep are the most profitable stock

country and they viii find the neatest

kept. It is true that there are some
clean farms, where there are no sheep,
but they could be kept as clean with
sheep which would prove profitable
investment for the farm. Sheep will
rid the farm of weeds where other
stock will not, and anyone who will
take the care of sheep Tan make 100
per cent. ON his investment. The farm
will become richer and the flock better.
