The Massachusetts, State crop report
contains an article by Prof. r.. s. Cooley
on "Some Causes Affecting the Profits
Of Dairying." On the subject OF feed
ing dairy cattle the professor urges
that feeds be produced on the farm as
far as possible. Usually the best prac.
tiee Is TO purchase only feeds rich in
protein and raise the coarse folders
on the farm. Cows fed on starvation
rations yield no profit. and those over
fed with expensive feeds are also kept
at loss. The point Of highest T--ont
in feed must be determined by expert
ment and calculation. and varies with
The locality and circumstances OF the
feeder.
