PROFITS Oh DAIRY HERD.

The Wisconsin station bulletin 167
gives the record OF the twenty-seven
cows composing the dairy herd-the
feeding and profits on each COW for
the year The twensy.seven COWS
showed net average profit OF S54.67.
The COW making the highest profit
was johanna Holstein-Fresian.
1851. The Jersey COW Marcella
stood next with a profit Of $SO.Ol.
The smallest profit OF any one OF
the swenty-seven cows was 1858. OF
the Winter rations fed to the cows
the bulletin says:
Owing to the fact that the cows
were pastured In the summer. II Is
only possible to have accurate rec.
ords OF the entire feed consumption
Of the COWS in the herd for the Win
ter period. For this reason special
consideration is given the rations fed
to Che COWS during the Winter
months. Twenty-seven COWS were in.
cluded in the herd during the past
Winter, and each received daily, ac'
cording to her capacity, twenty-five to
fifty pounds of corn silage, about
seven pounds of mixed hay. and ap-
proximately as many pounds OF grain
daily as she produced pounds OF bus-
ter fat during the week. The prin-
cipal grain ration consisted, as al
ready stated, OF wheat bran, corn
meal and distillers' grains in the pro-
portions Of 3:4:3. Some oats, oil
meal and brewers grains were fed at
times in varying quantities. or In the
place OF a portion Of the regular grain
ration where IL was apparent a COW
needed some variation in her feed.
The COWS gave milk 165 days, on
the average during the Winter, and
produced an average Of 21.5 pounds
OF milk and 93 pounds of butter fat
per head daily for the whole period.
The average test was ABB per cent.
The average daily allowance OF grain
per head was 6S pounds and the
ratlons fed the cows averaged 20.54
pounds OF dry matter, 1.75 pounds OF
digestlble protein, and 1918 pounds OF
digestible carbohydrates and fat, the
nutritive ratio being 1910.
Six COWS received, on the average,
more than two pounds OF digestIble
protein daily during the Winter per-
Tod and only five cows received less
than one and a half pounds. The
twelve COWS which produced more
than one pound of butter fat per
day, consumed, on the average, 1SS
pounds OF dry mater and 1859 pounds
OF digestible protein for each pound
OF butter Fat produced. The eight
cows which made, on the average,
less than three-fourths of pound OF
butter fat per day, consumed, on the
average, 1927 pounds Of dry matter
and 2.16 pounds OF digestible protein
per pound of butter fat produced.
