Months on the Farm
Feeding for Milk
Keeping the Dairy Herd Up to the
Maximum Production in Gold Weather
By PROF. G. C. HUMPHREY
Wbconsn College of Agriculture


Of its large protein content. 1t is an
excellent food, both for growth and
milk elaboration. A very cheap ra,
ton for cattle consists Of corn silage
and alfalfa.
System Of Winter Feeding.
During the winter the dairy herd
at the Wisconsin College of Agricul.
ture receives per head daily 20 to 40
pounds of corn silage according to the
capacity of the animals. s to pounds
mixed hay and as many pounds Of
grain daily as the COW produces
pounds Of butter fat per week The
grain ration consists OF wheat bran
parts, oats 3 parts, corn meal 2
parts. and distiliers' grains parts
Where the COW requires variation In
her feed small amounts of dried brew
ers grains or oil meal are used occa
sionally.
Prof. W. A. Henry speaks as fol
lows regarding these feeds; Wheat
bran is especially valuable due to its
laxative properties. 1t furnishes bulk
and plenty Of protein and ash so es
sential in milk formation. The com
bnation 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 OF
light character which is easily di
gestible. Oats contain a higher pro
portion of digestibe protein than corn
or wheat. This grain in itself is a
well-balancod ration. Corn meal is
heavy. rich feed end should always be

value in that the mauurial residues
of these feeds is returned to the soil
The golden maxim of the dairy farmer
should be Produce as much feed as
possible on the farm. Feed the grains
and market them as milk and meat, at
the same time making use of the
manure as fertilizer"
Feed According TO Production.
Each farmer should keep the pro
duction and expenses Of every COW in
his herd and should supply feed to
the COW In proportion to her produc-
ton and capacity. An excellent rule
used in the Wisconsin College of Ag-
riculture herd is to feed as many
pounds of grain daily as the animal
produces pounds Of butter fat during
the week" Roughage should be sup
piled in amounts which the COW will
clean up thoroughly.
Corn still remains the most valu-
able winter feed grown in the United
States. 1t can be best fed as silage
as in this form the dairy herd relish
1t best and there is the least waste.
Silage which is to the COW what
canned vegetables are to the human
race. Is greatly relished by the dairy
herd on account of succulence 1t
should be fed after milking where
fears are entertained that 1t will give
an unpleasant flavor to the milk 81
lage Is rich in carbohydrates and low
in protein and should be supplemented
by clover hay or some similar legum-
nous hay as clover. alfalfa, pea or
vetch hay in order to provide suffi.
cient protein. Where silage Is not
available it Is advisable to grow root
crops as mangels. turnips and ruta.
bagas and use them as part of the
cation. These roots can be grown
cheapy and can be substituted for q
part Of the grain in the dairy cows
ration, being especially relished on
account Of their succulence. Even
with silage they furnish variety and
are valuable Alfalfa Is very palata.

Winter
How to
Improve
Them

II Is easy to make COWS give an
abundant flow of milk in spring and
summer when pastures are luXurlant
and the days warm. but in the severe
winter months the greatest skill OF the
feeder is demanded to keep up the pro
duct.on of the dairy herd. by buying
plenty of expensive feeds it is possible
to do this. but that removes the profits
and the problem is, how to get large
production Of milk from an economical
system of feeding.
Many dairymen make a great mis-
take in not keeping enough grain ana
roughage to carry their herds through
the winter. Instead they sell grain
and roughage in large amounts and
as result find themselves handi.
capped for feed before spring pasture
is available. Unless man grows
enormous crops, this sale of farm prod
uct in its original form not only robs
the soil of fertility but also is a false
economy, for the reason that in late
winter the farmer has to buy feed at
high prices when the supply is scarce
or has to sell his cattle because OF
Jack of feed for them.
Much wiser is the dairy farmer,
who fills his feed bins and his sio or
his root cellar and feeds their con-
tents to his herd during the winter.
He markets his produce in the form
of milk and besides realizing a good
profit from 1t also has the use of the
manure from the herd to return to his
fields. A money value is realized
from the grains and also a fertilizing

further test before a board of four
medical experts. The patient, If he
has one, may have his family physf-
clan at the examination, and also may
demand the opinion of a bacteriolo-
gist. If the original suspicious are
confirmed the patient is at once or
dered to Molokai. In most cases the
unfortunates have foreseen the judg-
ment and arranged their temporal af-
fairs before they enter the settlement.
Hope of Cure Not Remote.
Nor is hope denied them here. Re
examinations are held from time to
time. Now and again patients are
made to leap for JOY by the informa-
ton that they are "clean." Some of
the lepers are comfortably situated,
and these have their own bungalows.
Marriage is permitted. Children born
of leprous parents are taken from
them at birth and nursed at one OF
the homes. If in time they appear to
be perfectly free of disease they are
sent to the relatives of their parents,
who usually are to be found on one of
the adjacent islands.
The Catholic church has been act
lively engaged in the work of nursing
the lepers on Molokai since 1866,
when the plan of segregation was
adopted by the Hawaiian government.
Several of it's missionaries succumb-
ed to the disease, the chief of whom
was Father Damien. Other denomf-
nations have energetic workers in the
field, and the Y. NJ. G. A. has a mod
ern building for the use of the boys
and young men. The females afflicted
with the disease are in charge of
nuns of the Franciscan Order, which
has mother house at Syracuse, N Y.
Mother Marianne is director of the
home for the women and girls. There
are 140 resident there, all lepers.
Mother Marianne is about the same
age as Brother Joseph. She, too has
been long in the service. A home for
female children of leper parents is in
charge of Sister M. Helena, of the
same order. The last report of the
board of health G91O) gave the total
number of lepers under treatment as
645, 81 males and 274 females. The
death rate was more than one-seventh
of the total, 80 in all, so males and 80
females. More than one-third of the
lepers are natives. There are five
Americans, 81 Portuguese, 35 Chinese,
japanese, 2 Coreans, Germans, 2
Britons, 1 Russian, 1 Swede and 2
Filipinos. Helpers are known as
"Kokuas." One or two of their num-
Der became infected. Last year but
one case was recorded. There are at
present ga Kokuas. There were IA
births last year, and the present num-
Der of non-leprous children is given
