Northwestern cities, where warmth

twenty years more, and then would not

We moved out on the ranch in the

RATION THAT IS BEST
FOR THE DAIRY COW
Common Mistake Made in Corn
Corn-By c. H Eckles, Professor Of Dairyin2,
Missouri Agricultural College.

The ordinary pasture grasses, espe-
cially blue grass, when in the grow
ing state, contain the proper proper
tion of nutrients to enable a dairy
cow to produce the maximum amount
OF milk Of which she is capable. The
winter ration, on the other hand, is
liable to have these nutrients out of
proportion. This is one point where
in common practice falls far short of
continuing the summer conditions
throughout the winter. The feeding
of ration not properly balanced is
one Of the most common mistakes
made on the average farm in the corn
belt on account of the usual abun-
dance and cheapness OF corn and corn
fodder.
Many farmers have corn fodder and
timothy hay for roughness and prac-
tically nothing in the way of grain
but corn. From such a selection of
feeds it is impossible to make a
ration that supplies the necessary
nutrients for heavy production of milk
1t is possible to make a fairly good
ration using these feeds for rough
ness. but it is only possible to do so
by buying large quantities of mill

feeds that are rich in protein. The
thing for the farmer to do is to raise
the feeds he requires on his own farm.
as far as possible, and it is possible to
produce practically all that is needed
to make balanced ration. The place
to begin in considering the feeding of
an animal Is always with the rough
ness, since the character of the rough
ness determines to a large extent the
kind of grain 1t is advisable to feed.
The cheapest source of protein is in
legiminous hays, including clover, al
falfa and COW pea. If an abundant
supply of any one of these hays is
on hand, the problem of making an
economical balanced ration is very
much simplified. The use of these
hays makes it unnecessary to buy any
cottonseed meal for ordinary dairy
cows, and makes it possible that the
principal grain used be corn which
usually is our cheapest grain. Even
COW pea or alfalfa hay alone. with
corn for grain, makes a fairly good
ration for an ordinary dairy COW, and
such a ration could be substituted with
good results for that of timothy hay
and corn fodder When hay is pur-
chased, it is always best to purchase
one of the kinds mentioned, as the
price is about the same, or lower than
that of timothy, which is far inferior
as milk producing food. II any hay
is to be sold from the farm it should
be timothy hay and not clover or cow
pea hay.

The third summer condition, which
We desire to continue throughout the
winter, is that of supply Of succu-
lent feed. By the term succulent feed
is meant feed having that property
possessed by green grass. Such feed
has a value outside of the actual
nutrients it contains on account of its
favorable effect upon the digestion OF
the animal There are two methods in
use for supplying this succulent feed
during the winter season. One is the
use of root crops and the other the
use of silage In some parts OF the
world the use of root crops is almost
universal, and Is the solution Of the
problem In this state the use of
silage Is far more practical. however,
than the use of root crops, and for
that reason it is recommended ex-
clusively for this purpose.
The following rations supply the
necessary material to produce milk
economically. II the COW will not give
a good flow of milk in the early part
of the milking period and when fed a
liberal amount of one of these .ratiOns,

ture to be used as dairy COW and

FEEDS, SEEDS
AND WEEDS
A Danger to the Earm-By E. H.
Jenkins, Director Connecticut
Experiment Station.

There are a number of mixtures
sold as feeds which contain large
quantities of seeds of undesirable and
pestilent weeds of which a consider
able portion are alive and will, under
proper conditions, promptly terminate
and grow.
The weed seeds are not always
quickly detected by casual inspection
because they are variously mixed with
chaff and oat hulls, with linseed, bar
ley and corn products and are often
mixed or smeared with molasses.
These facts are naturally not men,
toned in the statements of compost
ton, yet they are more important to
the buyer than the chemical analysis.
A moderate food value may be
granted to ground weed seeds. or to
some species of them, but it is very
doubtful if small whole seeds are
broken up and digested by the animal
1t has been proved that fermenting
manure kills many weed seeds when
they are kept in it for some time, but
common experience fully justifies the
belief that the farm may be stocked
with weeds which com along with the
manure.
Weed seeds which are scattered
abundantly wherever feed and feed
residues are scattered, will surely
make their appearance in the fields.
Thus charlock appeared last year
quite abundantly on the station land

Gilbert was such a miserable joker.
Allan pushed back his hat just in
time to see girl, perfectly strange to
him, turn her laughing eyes away. He
had but a moment to notice that she
was very nice to look at; and then
confusion overcame him. The uncom-
Portable sensation that his ears were
glowing brightly possessed Allan. If
she would only speak and let him ex-
plain!
AS II in answer to his despairing
thoughts, the girl said gravely, with
exaggerated penitence in her voice:

"Oh. you did not" Allan began
eagerly. you see, at first l thought

A merry laugh cut him short.

to find his companion was leaning TO-
