RATION THAT IS BEST
FOR THE DAIRY COW
Mistake Made in Is Feed Too Much
Corn-By G. H EckIes, of bail
Missouri Agricultural College.

The third summer condition, which
We desire to continue throughout the
winter. is that of a supply of succu-
lent feed. BY the term succulent feed
is meant feed having that property
possessed by green grass. Such feed
has value outside of the actual
nutrients 1t 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. If the COW will not give

The ordinary pasture grasses. espe-
c.ally blue grass. when in the grow
ing state, contain the proper proper
ton 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 1t 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

The Owl.

Have you ever wondered why an
owls flight is so noiseless as he
swoops down on the mice and rats
that are his favorite prey? 1t is be-
cause his feathers are not stiff and
smooth like those of birds who hunt
in the daytime. but set quite loosely
in his sF!a, and so beautifully fringed
at the edges that they scarcely dis
turb the air as they sweep through it.
If you have ever had the pleasure
of meeting an owl on dark night you
will have noticed that his golden balls

ably like a cats. Bat pussy has great

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

usually is our cheapest grain. Even
COW pea or alfalfa hay alone, with
corn for grain, makes 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

FEEDS, SEEDS
AND WEEDS
A Danger to the Farm-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
pestiient 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
chan and oat hulls, with linseed, bar
ey 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,
where it had not been seen for 26
years at least. On searching for the
cause, it appeared that the junkos
or snowbirds had been fed with wheat
screenings on fat roof in the neigh
borhood during a severe winter and
the charlock seeds in the screenings
had no doubt been blown from the
roof to the lawn.
Certain manufacturers claim to de-
stroy the vitality of the weeds which
they mix with feed, but in no one
of those above reported has even this
measure of protection to the purchas-
err been thoroughly done. III has been
apparently attempted only in case OF
the sucrene feeds.
All of these weeds are characters
tic of grain screenings which are the

Some poultrymen feed ground corn

Wherever ground oats can be pro-
cured without the corn being mixed
with 1t, the feed will be much better
when the corn is in excess. Some
millers in grinding corn and oats add
more corn than oats, depending upon
the comparative price of the two. For
other stock, or for milk cows, such a
food may be better. but not for fowls.
If it can be done it is always better
