FEEDING THE COW.

Small Grain Ration During the Sum-
ner VIII Prove Profitable.
The COWS should be fed literally. 1t
Will be found profitable to feed a small
grain ration during the summer. 1t
not only helps them to keep up the
flow Of milk. but they com into win
ter quarters in better condition. do not
dry up so quickly and come out the
next spring able to do more work.
Much. however, depends on the cows
and the feed.
1t is claimed that this additional feed
In summer to the pasture is better for
the manure and, besides, gives superior
milk and more Of It
An extensive dairyman says that for
twenty years his cows have had dry
hay before them every time they were
put In to be MIXED, which was twice a
day, and the pasture never was so good
but what those cows would eat some
Of the dry hay.
This question Of feeding grain or
hay In the summer time is a very I'M
portant ono. Professor Sanborn Of
New Hampshire some years ago made
the experiment and found that n
pound Of hay was equivaler4 Ito one
pound Of grain for feeding his cows
In the summer time on fresh pasture.
An old western dairyman once said
that the most ~slovenly way of feeding
a COW is to let her go to pasture; that
she destroys more than she Will eat
and If a man Is using very much fine
pasture, especially on high priced land,
he Is using it to great Disadvantages
He said he could better afford to grow
q r and feed It to the COW, 50 there
would be NJ waste.
It is important with silage and sofl
ing crops to feed some dry hay as Wei
~ enfn through the summer for the
eAhsek Shat 1t has on the digestive tract.
A speaker before a datrymen's asso-
citation said that some years back he
began feeding the COWS grain In the
summer time and dry hay every time
they were being MIXED He came to do
it BY having had a lot Of Background
up corn and oats mixed with bran
that be was feeding the cows, and
after he turned them out to grass he
thought he would S up what feed he
had left He noticed that the more
cornmeai there was in the mixture the
better the cows liked 1t. They did not
seem to care for bran, probably as they
had plenty Of protein. The next year
he fed hay and, cornmeal and oats and
had an increase of fifty pounds OF but

An Animal hospftai.

London has a large building which
has been converted into a hospital for
animals It Is divided into wards, with
rows Of padded benches, neat boxes or
comfortable stalls. The money for this
hospital was contributed by the con-
%gregattons Of 1000 churches in Eng
land, Ireland, Scotland and Wales,
Packages Of leaflets telling about the
work were distributed by boys and
girls, and ministers preached on kind
ness to animals. Hardly a great city
today Is without Its animal hospitals,
some especially for cats, others for
horses and still others for birds.
These hospitals show a great advance
tn humane sentiment over the days Of
oGr grandfathers.

Dairy Rules

The lesson is this, says a dafryman:
Break away from old traditions and
customs; select a dairy breed that suits
eou best and stay by that breed; do
not change; grade up the best cows
that you have; test and discard the
poor and worthless cows; have a stand
ard to line up to; do not be afraid Of a
certain amount of line breeding to fix
heredfty; don't mix the breeds; depend
upon the sire and his breeding to adj
vance the merit of a herd; do not
change sires very often; breed for good
health; be thorough; feed for milk and
not beefmaking; be sanitary, be a
datry student; don't get finicky, and the
dairy Of the future will be the wonder
Of the world

Of spring metal, which Is clamped
around the leg of the attendant To
prevent It moving a number Of protec-
tons are placed on the inner face,

On the outer face Of the strip Is a

is free and curved slightly outward, 50
that the switch of the animal can be
readily entered between the strip and

To be Improved by

ment.
Investigations Now in Progress
to Prevent Over.srazine
Of the Range.

The government has planned 6
series o. scientific reseeding ex.
periments on several of the Ma.
tional Forest Ranges next spring
and summer to determine under.
what conditions and in what man.
ner those portions of the range
which have been seriously damag-
ed by over grazing may be restored
to their former productiveness.
A great deal of the rangeland in
the west is overgrazed and does
not carry as much stock as former
l. The method of handling stock,
particularly sheep, is perhaps more
responsible for this condition than
any other cause. But all causes
of deterioration and all means for
Improving the forage crop need to
be studied, that the range may be
brought into the best condition to
meet the imperative demand of the
live stock industry.
The plan is to establish expert,
mental stations in several parts OF
the country. Probably not more
than six will be tried at first, but
they will be 40 located as to secure
typical conditions. The expert
nents will be begun on small
scale, on five or six acre tracts
