An investigation Of problems con

consin College Of Agriculture dairy
herd which has been conducted du-
ring the past nine years furnishes adj
ditional evidence with regard TO the
proper protein supply OF rations for
dairy COWS on Wisconsin farms and
in other northwestern states. This in
vestigation and practical feeding ex'
perience in this country have shown
that nutritve ration Of l.6 or even
1T. which is wider than that OF 1884
recommended by the German investi-
gators. can be used success fully. The
teachings Of many carefully planned
and conducted experiments and the
experience OF dairy farmers who
have paid special attention to the
! question Of the relative economy OF
the different kinds OF feeds under

: that medium wide nutrItive ratio is,

Many dairymen make a great mis-

as a result find themselves handi-

Where the COW requires variation In
her feed small amounts OF dried brew

Prof. W. A. Henry speaks as fol-
lows regarding these feeds; Wheat
bran is especially valuable due 20 its
laxative properties. It furnishes bulk
and plenty OF protein and ash so es-
sential in milk formation. The COM
binaticn OF bran and corn meal Is not
excelled as dairy feed. The bulk
OF the oat though carrying little nu-
triment renders this grain feed or

portion Of digesuble protein than corn
or wheat This grain in itself IS
well balanced ration. Corn meal Is a
heavy. rich feed and should always be

feed OF light character"
Feeding experiments prove that
dried disullers' grains are more vala-
able than oats az feed for the dairy
herd. Cows are fond of brewers
grains and their use influences a good
milk flow. Because Of the sloppy
character Of wet brewers grains they
should be supplemented by some dry
feed in the winter ration.
