Cows and Milk.

There is a general impression
among farmers (the dairymen have
learned differently that the richer
and more abundant the cows feed the
richer will be her milk. Increasing
the richness and quantity of the feed
may increase the quantity of the milk,
but 1t has little effect upon the quality.
The quality depends upon the COW. If
the COW is not giving milk that is sat
isfactory, the remedy is to get better
COW.
1T is very important. to, to al
low mich COWS to have none but clean,
sound feed, and clean, pure water to
drink, for while the butter fat in the
milk may not be affected by the feed,
it's sanitary condition, no doubt, Is.
There are three principal elements in
feed, which, If we could always know,
would enable us to feed more to a
purpose. These are protein, the Lead
ing muscle and milk producing ele-
ment; carbohydrates, the heat and fat
producing elements. and starch, which
is principally fat. IL the feed Is def
cient in protein, the flow of milk will
diminish; II deficient in carbohy-
drates, the animals will lose flesh and
cannot stand exposure to cold. Win
ter requires more of the carbohydrates
than summer. Mich cows do not
much need starchy feeds; such are
more suitable for animals that are
being fattened.
Glover and pea hay and alfalfa are
the best protein rough feeds, and in
them the carbohydrates are also we'll
represented. hence these feeds are very
suitable for mich cows. Wheat bran
is also a proportional feed for
like purpose. Corn has protein, but
1t is too rich in the carbohydrates and
starch to be used as single feed. So
is wheat, or middlings or shorts.
Corn bran If well cleaned is not very
rich in any Of the feed elements. Tn
threshed soy beans or field peas are
liable to be too rich in protein. 1t is
well to study the feeds that quality
quantity and the purpose may be better
judged.
