Questions and Hn$WerS

Ouestion-Wouldy you please tell me
how to feed COW to give the best
results? have threequarter Jersey
and will have to stall feed her. Tell
me what kind of hay to feed. Is bran
and shorts mash a good feed? How
much, bran in what shape, wet or
dry. should 1 feed it? Is flax seed
meal good to mix with the mash?
How can | tell when l am feeding too
much. that is more than is necessary
TO get results? Would you feed
mash feed three times or only twice
day! s. K. P. Everett, Wash.
Answer-It is hard to tell just how
a COW should be fed to produce the
most, unless all feeds and all condi
tions are known. There are thou
sands of COWS that are doing almost
perfect work at being fed in the stall.
1t simply means that the summer
condition, including the feed and
the care should be duplicated as
nearly as possible.
For hay 1 can suggest none better
than alfalfa. 1t is probably the best
dry roughage for dairy COWS. If you
cannot get alfalfa, feed some other
legume that you may have on hand,
or can get easily, such as cow-peas,
vetch and the like.
would prefer bran to shorts for
dairy COW, and experiments have
proven that the COWS will do just as
we'll on dry bran, as when it Is wet
The flax seed meal mentioned is un
doubtedly what we term oil meal with
nearly all of the oil extracted. 1t is
used very extensively as COW feed,
being high in protein, and a very
good milk producer. 1t should be
fed with care, how ever, because where
it is used, there is danger of getting
too narrow a ration and the COW would
have to use considerable energy in
throwing the excess protein.
Since all the feeds mentioned have
high protein feeds, do not think
that very good ration can BIZ made
from them alone. | would suggest
that some ground oats or barley be
fed in place of some Of the bran,
especially if the roughage is alfalfa.
| would feed from ten to fifteen
pounds alfalfa, from six to ten pounds
Of grain mixture, consisting of four
parts ground barley or oats, three
parts bran, and one part oil meal.
This is daily ration.

what is the matter with our COW. She
eats good and is fat, but for the last
two days her milk after standing for

cream is too thin in the first place,
and also there is a possibility of in
sufficient ripening il it has stood

germs were not present. In that case
[ would suggest to use some starter
(sour milk to start the fermentation.
II the COW is far advanced in lacta-
ton you will frequently find this
trouble.
Question-Will you please answer
this through the columns OF The
Ranch: Which is the best for milk
COWS, common field corn or sweet
corn? Pasture is short in the summer
time so we must have some green feed
for supplying the shortage. Will
sweet corn cause the COWS to dry up!
W. A. M. Snohomish, Wash.
Answer-Corn makes very good
soiling crop to take the place of pas
ture. AS to whether field or sweet
corn should be used will depend
largely on the yield. AS a general
rule, field corn is the heavier producer,
although sweet corn has trifie higher
percentage of digestible protein and
fat and correspondingly low in car
bohydrates. 1 should prefer field
corn. | do not think that sweet corn
would cause COW to dry up, but
there seems to be tendency for her
to put the fat on her back, rather than
in the milk pail when fed this feed.

vERAClTY OF THE BIBLE
After a Visit TO the Holy Land Even
Skeptc Must BE Con.
vlnced.

One thing cannot fail to impress
every visitor to Bethlehem, and, in.
deed, to the Holy Land generally, who
is imbued with true Christian faith
and a proper sense of the sanctity
of the location and of the events that
have transpired there, and that is the
more than remarkable correspondence
between the things and places shown
us today as having been associated
with the life and work of the Saviour
and other events that enter into the
structure of our religious faith and
the descriptions and accounts OF them,
as furnished us In the pages OF the
Holy Scriptures. They agree with
them in every respect and Il is im-
possible, after carefully considering
and comparing them, 10 doubt their
Identity, so exactly are they in accord
with the Bible narrative.
The work I'm the fields, the arrange.
ment of the buildings. the very arti-
cles Of diet and clothing of ancient
days are plainly recognizable in the
doings and surroundings of today. In.
deed, where modern methods have not
become obtrusive the manners and
customs of the people remain much
the same as in the days of the pres.
ence on earth of the Saviour. BE.
tween the descriptions given In the
Bible of localities, climatic and geo
graphical conditions, distances, etc,
of these times and those OF today
there is hardly any discrepancy. Even

FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE
Number Of State Institutions 10
Double During the Past
Two Years.

Sixteen state sanatoria, 28 county
hospitals and II municipal hospitals
for tuberculosis have been erected
and provided for since January J,
1909. says recent bulletin OF the
National Association for the STUDY
and Prevention of tuberculosis.
Within the last two years the nuns
ber of state institutions for tubercp
losis has doubled, and the number es
county and municipal institutions has
increased from about 80 to So The
expenditures OF public money for the
treatment OF tubercufosls also has
more than doubled. Not less than
$3,0O0O00 of state money was appro
priated for tuberculosis institutions
in 1909. when 43 legislatures met, and
over 100000 in 1910, when only l1
legislatures we're in session. The ap.
propriations OF counties and cities for
tuberculosis hospitals and sanitorla
in the last two years will aggregate
fully $2,500,0O0, bringing the total
of official appropriations for tubercu.,
losls hospitals up TO over $6,000,000
in the past two years.
In spite, however OF this good show.
ing, the National Association for tho
Study and Prevention OF tuberculosis
states that not one-tenth OF the pub
lie provision for tuberculosis that is
needed has been made. More than
100000 tuberculosis patients are con
stantly without proper institutional
treatment.
