this district are, on alfalfa. 1t
doesn't seem to me that COWS can do
their best on alfalfa alone, but though
I have read lot and looked carefully
for balanced ration with alfalfa
base, I have been unsuccessful. [ am
now writing asking for proper ration
for this district where grains are very
high and alfalfa is the principal hay
crop. Please detail as to the quantity
to feed, how often, etc.
For fattening hogs what is the best
to use, cracked wheat, cracked corn
or whole wheat? Il. q. S. Prosser,
Wash.
Answer: According to the best
feeding standards, 1000 pound COW
giving Is pounds of milk daily, needs
a ration with nutritive ration of 1.5
and if she gives more milk than this
the ration must be narrower. Alfalfa
has a nutIitive ration of IA. From
these figures it would seem that
alfalfa alone would be sufficient for a
COW giving a large amount of milk.
There is another point to be con-
sidered here. however. and that is
the fact that the COW does not have
the capacity to consume enough
roughage to supply the nutrients
needed, hence the necessity of adding
tO
If only one concentrate is used
with the alfalfa hay we advise using
ground barley, cracked corn or rolled
oats and for an average COW giving
about 25 pounds of milk daily we
would feed from Is to IL pounds Of
the hay and from four to six pounds

FEEDING VALUE OF ALFALFA
MOLASSES MEAL.

Question: They have on the market
in this city, alfalfa meal treated with
molasses for which they claim large
feeding value and say that it will take
the place of shorts and bran in the
COWS ration. Would it be good policy
to try to feed this meal when alfalfa
is the only roughage used? l also
would like to know how to mix the
molasses with cut hay. have good
hay cutter that will cut it in one
fourth inch lengths, so it can pre-
pare the feed at home can save con-
siderable hauling and some money
over buying it in town and hauling
it home. w. III. North Yakima.
Answer: From the standpoint OF it
being an economical feed when you
are feeding alfalfa hay as roughage, [
do not consider it wise to use it,
simply because the ration becomes
too narrow having in it too much
protein. We have not had any ex

with the cut hay and | doubt that it
could be done profitably by you since
the sugar that is added in the molasses
does not increase the feeding value
materially and under most conditions
the cut hay is about the same in feed
ing value as the coarse hay. We
have fed some of this meal in con-
trast with bran and barley and have
found that there is very little differ
ence in the actual amount of milk
that is produced, However we have
found also that it has a binding effect
on the COWS and have had frequent
cases of impaction of the bowels when
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-01-15

of grain per day. A very good and
practical rule to follow in feeding if
the right feeds are chosen at the start
is to give the COW as much roughage
she will eat up clean and then as
many pounds of concentrates as she
produces pounds of butter fat weekly,
or, feed one pound of grain to every
four pounds of milk that the COW pro-
duces daily giving 1t in two feeds.
For excessively high yields add some
concentrates high in protein such as
soy bean meal or dried brewers grains.
From the results of experiments
carried on at different stations on
feeding crushed wheat, ground corn
and whole wheat, we find that on ac-
count of the small, hard kernel, wheat
should never be fed whole to animals
except possibly to sheep. The feed
ing value of ground wheat compares
very favorably with ground corn, there
being ten per cent difference in favor
of corn. Wheat, however, never
makes very good feed alone, but
when fed in connection with other
crops such as corn, ground barley,
skimmilk, various roots, etc., will be
found very valuable for pork reduc-
ton.

need to supply enough for mainten-
ance to be sure, and enough more to
cause fat and other reserve material
to be stored. These can then be
drawn on for the first week or two
after the COW freshens. If we feed
we'll before and after calving it also
has the effect of starting off the
animal at a higher production and
there is then chance for larger pos
sibilities throughout the year.
AS has been mentioned in these
columns before, COWS require feed
because they need it to produce milk,
while we as a rule think of it in the
reverse light, that COWS give milk be-
cause we feed them. The problem OF
the feeder then Is to first get the
animal in the best Of condition, then
AUST the ration to the amount pro-
duced and maintain the milk flow at
a high level as long as possible.
However if she does decline in milk
when receiving sufficient ration it
is useless to further increase the feed
and expect to restore the milk flow.
On the contrary if it is certain that
the ration has been ample or more 1t
is economy to reduce the ration in
about the same proportion.
