COTTON SEED MEAL IN CATTLE FEEDING

During a season like this with corn
and alfalfa hay scarce and high in
price, more feeders than usual resort
to the use of concentrates. Among
the concentrates most commonly used
is cotton seed meal, or cake. 1t has
been found that cotton seed meal is
one of the cheapest sources of pro-
tein-the food nutrient in which corn
is deficient. Rough feeds, like alfalfa
and clover hay, furnish the same valu-
able nutrient cheaply. but there are
conditions under which it is advisable
to use some concentrate rich in pro-
tien. Cotton seed meal or cake is a
cheaper source of that food nutrient
than oil meal, and most feeders use it
instead of oil meal when feeding year
lingss and two-year-old cattle. How
ever, oil meal is more palatabIe, and
on account of its laxative nature has
3 better effect upon the animal sys-
tenn. There is some difference of opin-
ion as to the advisability of feeding
cotton seed meal to calves around six
psonths old. Some feeders believe that

CALVES CAN BE ECONOMICALLY RAISED
BY FARMER OR DAlRYMAN ON SKIMMILK
Prof. Reed of Dairy Husband Department the State Agricultural
College Gives Results of Some Interesting Experiments
Little Difference in Food Value of
Skim and Whole Milk

cd. Besides. good dairy cattle ars
scarce and high priced. The second
named method is more often followed
and is generally more successful. By
selecting a good herd bull of one of
the dairy breeds and giving careful
attention to the raising of the calves,
one can start with common grade cat
tie and in a few years time build up
good dairy herd. Too often the be-
ginner does not appreciate these
facts. He does not raise his calves,
but depends upon buying cows to re-
plenish his herd. Such a practice will
never result in increasing the stand
ard of the herd to any marked ex-
tent.
Where plenty of skimmiIk is to be
had, the raising of calves by hand is
an exceedingly simple proposition.
1t has been demonstrated time after
time that as good calves can be raised
on skimmilk as on whole milk. At
the Kansas Experiment Station ex-
periments were made with. three
groups of calves. One lot was fed on
skimmilk, another lot on whole milk,
and still another lot were nursed by
their mother The following table
shows the results of these expert
ments:

The calves nursed by the dam and
those fed whole milk made slightly
better gains than those fed on skim
milk, but it was at much greater ex-
pense. The skimmilk calves con-
sumed 122 pounds Of grain per hun
dred pounds of gain, while the whole
milk calves consumed 50 pounds of
grain and 31.S pounds of butter fat
in the milk. At this rate a hundred
pounds of grain is equivalent in feed
ing value to 48 pounds of fat After
the calf feeding experiment had
closed, the calves which were steers
were put in the feed lot and fed for

The Very Best Make.

In the course OF an after-dinner

"a commercial traveller remarked

how to waste it"

no THE general farmer who
raises calves for the feed lot.

ITO THE general farmer who
raises calves for the feed lot,
as well as the dairymen, the
question of raising calves is becoming
more interesting and important AS
the land becomes higher priced the
beef raiser who caters to the general
market finds that he cannot keep a
cow for the entire year merely for the
calf she raises. Certainly one solu-
ton of keeping up the beef supply in
Kansas is raising calves more eco
nomically. This means a change in
the methods of raising the calves. By
selecting COWS that are large pro-
ducers of milk and by milking these
cows, selling the butter fat and rails
ing calf on skimmilk, the cost of the
calf will be greatly reduced. Enough
butter fat can be sold to pay for the
keeping of the COW, and the calf may
be counted as profit.
To the dairyman who is DESTROYS of
building up good dairy herd, the
subject of raising calves by hand is
even more important. There are two
general methods of getting a good
dairy herd together. The first is to
buy cows, and the second is to raise
them. Only few farmers have suffi-
cient capital to pursue the first meth

better, provided they have been prop
erly fed. The skimmilk calf becomes
accustomed to eating grain and hay
early in life, consequently when it is
Weaned the change of feed is not so
noticeable as it is with the whole
milk calf, and it does not suffer a set
back at this time. The calf that has
been fed on whole milk has not been
accustomed to get very much of it's
nutrients from grain and hay, and
invariably it does not gain as rapidly
as does the skimmilk calf for the
first two or three weeks after it is
Weaned. Very often one sees small,

corn or similar grain can be fed to
take the place Of fat.
The casein, albumin, and ash are
the most important constituents of
milk for the growing calf. These sub
stances are used by the body for MAX
ing muscle, nerve, bone, hair, hide,
and hoofs. These elements are left
in the skimmilk, then by separating
the whole milk, selling the high
priced butter fat and substituting
cheap grain ration, instead, calves
can be raised more cheaply.

important constituent as far as calf

hand, the fat is the most important
constituent in relation to the manu-

Cattle can handle a greater proper
ton of bulky feeds than other classes
of farm animals, except sheep. Wheat
or rye straw contains too great a pro-
portion of indigestible material 10
make them valuable as a sole ration
for any class of farm animals. The
ration should not be too bulky; neither
should they be too concentrated. For
best assimilation and digestion, all
classes of farm animals need a GER
tain amount of bulk in the ration.
