FEED BALANCED RAT|ONS
10y c. H. EckIes, Professor OF Dairy
ing, College Of Agriculture,
University Of Missouri.)

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 abundance and cheapness OF
corn, corn fodder, and timothy hay
This is especially true in the case OF
dairy cows.
All good. rations contain substances
which serve two quite distinct pur-
poses when taken into the body.
First, certain substances known as
protein, which build up muscle, bone
and hair and also supply the material
from which the curd of milk is made.
Protein is found in almost all food,
but in especially large quantities in
alfalfa clover, and cowpea hay, bran,
cottonseed, linseed, and gluten meal;
also in nearly pure form in lean
meat, the white of an egg, and curd
in milk. No other element can take
the place of protein.
Second, another class of substances
supply heat to keep the body warm,
fat to be stored in the tissues as body
fat, or put into the milk as butter fat,
and energy to keep up the functions
OF the body.
This class Is represented by two
kinds of material, different in char
acted but serving largely the same
purpose in the body, called Carlo,
hydrates and fats. The carbohydrates
are present in large quantities in
nearly all grains, such as corn, wheat
and barley, and in corn fodder and
timothy hay in the form of starch
In other plants, such as sorghum and
sugar beets, it is found in the form OF
sugars. The fats are found in vary
ing quantities in all common grains.
All properly balanced rations must
contain protein, carbohydrates and
fat, and no amount of carbohydrates
and fat can take the place of the pro-
tein in the body.
A cow secreting milk must secrete
substances in each Of these classes
In one hundred pounds Of average
milk we find about 3.S pounds Of pro-
TEN in the form of curd, five pounds
of carbohydrates in the form OF milk
sugar, and four pounds Of fat in the
form of butter fat. Since these three
kinds of solids must be present in
order to form milk, 1t is necessary to
furnish them in the ration and in
about the proper proportion. SO there
will be no loss. When this Is done
the ration is properly balanced.
II a COW be supplied with sufficient
material in her feed to produce thirty
pounds of milk per day, but on &C
count U lacking protein produces but
fifteen pounds, it is useless to further
increase the fat producing material
and expect the flow Of milk to be in
creased. The surplus fat in the feed
will not be, put into the milk and
make it unusually rich. The results
Of numerous experiments carried or
by many investigators show that al
far as the practical feeder Is con
cerned the proportion of butter fat
in cows milk can not be changed ap
probably by the kind Of feed given
| The richness of a cows milk Is nat
ural characteristic.
Farmers who are planning to shiI
in their cattle on account of the short
ago Of feed should think several times
before doing 30. II all the available

scOURs IN YOUNG PICS
Caused by Bad Feeding and Unsan-
itary CondItions-Remedied
by Removing the
Cause.

Bad feeding and unsanitary condi-
tons about the pigs quarters are re-
sponsible for scours in hogs. It may,
however, be caused within the first
few days after birth by the feverish
condition of the SOW affecting the
character of the milk. Soured Stops,
mouldy corn, etc., fed either to the
SOW or to the pigs, may also cause
scours.
AS this is a disease of feeding and
sanitation more than anything else,
the provision Of clean quarters and
good feed for both SOW and pigs is
necessary. II the scours are due to
fever in the SOW, she should be given
q dose of castor oil. Some farmers
feed slack coal, sulphur, copperas,
alum water and various other RENE
dies.
The advice of the Missouri Expert.
ment Station, In an article by F. G.
King, is to first look to the feeding.
II the feed is poor, sour, or mouldy, 1t
must be changed. II the scours con-
tinue after that, give few drops OF
laudanum per pig. or one-half to one
tablespoonful to the SOW. The dose
may be repeated If necessary.

1t is apparent that the greater the
palata bility the greater will be the
consumption of food. The greater the
consumption of food, the more rapid
the rate of gain, and the shorter the
period required for fattening the ami
mails The Importance of palatability
has been demonstrated by careful ex-
periments, and the results have shown
conclusively that very palatable ra-

quite well. The wheat straw, OF
which there is so much this year, is
more nourishing than usual. The
cornstalks, many of which will not
mature ears contain more nutriment
than in an ordinary year. Almost all
of the food material that would have
gone into the ears is already formed
in the plant. II the ears are not
formed, the stalk is very much richer.
These stalks, then, will make excel
lent feed. The last great drouth was
in 1901, and it was noticed at that
tir.c all over the country that cattle
wintered on these immature stalks
did about as we'll as If they had re-
Cejved grain. 1t is almost too late
to plant cowpeas now, but those farm
ers who put them in this season will
have large amount of forage from
t!:em.
III answer to an inquiry about the
a,ivisability of putting up silage this
vr:r. Mr.. Demaree, agronomist to the
Missouri Agricultural Experiment Sta
lion, said: Il doubt very much if it
will be advisable to put this poorly
mrtured corn into the silo. The food
mat erials in it are largely in the form
Of sugars and soluble materials, and
While it will make excellent dry feed,
If put nito the silo it will become too
sour for best results" However, If
it is desired to put in small amount
of corn as silage, Mr.. Demaree sug-
gests that it may all be saved by cut
ting up wheat straw to make layer
ten to fourteen inches thick on top
Of the chopped corn. This should be
wet down thoroughly and we'll packed.
The straw will seal up the top with
out the customary spelling of the first
six inches.

tain amount of feed for maintenance,
their palatability is factor of prime
Importance.
Four years experiments including
1875 animals proved that the palatabll-
ity of a ration of shelled corn was in
creased by the addition of cotton and
inseed meals. The animals fed this
mixed ration ate more, gained faster,
and had better finish than those on
the straight corn ration. Gluten feed
was not found to increase the palata-
bility of shelled corn.

Famous Literary Man Frankly Read

lcans in defense Of the administra-
tive acts in New York state of Presi-
dent Hayes and Jokn Sherman, as sec

which stirred up United States Sen

1t was somber autumn day. There
had been heavy storm from the sea,
and the wind had not died down at
the time of the morning service, so
that the branches of the trees whipped
occasionally against the windows of
the little church as Mr.. Curtis con-
Quoted the services and read the SER
mon. His voice was very rich, his
utterance distinct, and he so read the

they were talking of nominating me

all of a sudden, l stood revealed to
him as a man who made use of strong
language.
That glance burned into my soul, it
seemed. And as it was still upon me-
or seemed to be, l said to myself that
leaving all other personal considera-
tons out of view, no man should do
anything which should cause a young
man to feel that he was being set a
bad example-which would give him a
moral shock. And then and there

proach being visited upon me by look

And in consultation with others about
it we came to one opinion: that, be-
sides being bad example, strong
language of the kind I had used was
vulgar, something 10 gentleman
should permit himself TO indulge in
And you will now see some of the re-
suits of that view in the spread of an
association whose cardinal principle is
the refraining from the use of strong
language of any sort whatsoever"
The association that Mayor Grace
referred to was one of the local organ
izations whose success eventually re-
suited in the formation OF the now
powerful and widespread Holy Name
Society of the Roman Catholic

Reproachful Look of Stranger Cured
William r. Grace of Using Strong

A modern Dick Wilmington was the

fourteen years of age, and thirty-four
years later found himself elected may

He has gone down in municipal history

prominent public position, or who is in
position of authority in private life,

which would give the slightest offense
or cause any shock to those who pro-
fess and practice high standard OF
moral conduct" Mayor Grace said to
me upon an occasion when we were
speaking of a lapse Of propriety-not
serious-which a man of some public
