Economical Dairy Ration.

What to feed the cows for best results
is question. Prof j. NJ. Trueman OF
the Connecticut agricultural college
furnishes the interesting data in the
accompanying table. The rations are
for a l000-pound COW giving 20 to -
pounds milk daily. For each 31s pounds
milk additional give another pound of
grain mixture.
Observe the increased cost of produc-
ton when timothy hay, though backed
with alfalfa is substituted for silage
The daily cost of each cows feed in the
latter case is 34.4 cents, while with ST.
lage it drops as low as 26.2 cents. This
on herd of IS to 20 cows amounts to
considerable during a season. 1t appears
that 40 pounds silage gave better results
than So pounds daily; also mature silage
proved slightly superior to medium ripe
In the latter case, however. the grain
rations varied, so it is not fair to draw
two general conclusions. Feeders will
be much interested in the accompany
ing data. as giving feeding values, cost

California Dairy Progress.

Some recent California developments
in dairying should be noted by eastern
stockmen The first is the entrance of
California cows into the thousand pound
class as er-produeers.
A record of ei01S pounds of butter-fat
in 2s.e659 pounds of milk in one year
was recently made by AraIia De Kol a
Holstein COW of A. w Morris & Sons,
Woodland, California. This COW was Il
years old at the beginning of the test.
During it she was exhibited at the State
fair in September. 1911. and won the
butter contest with sA pound margin
over her nearest competitor The years
record was finished about two months
ago, and in the same period of lactation
she entered the fve-day butter contest
at the California State Fair. September
16 to 20. 1912, and made fourth IN the
aged-cow class, with 1869 pounds of
fat to II credit.
Riverside Sadie De Kol Burke. another
COW in the same herd, gave 1S,275.S
pounds of milk in the first six months
% yearly test. Owing to a rather
small fat content, her butter production
will probably not surpass that of Arala
De Kol by a very large amount. In a
single day she produced 134.7 pounds of
milk, next to the worlds record Before
this is published the official report or
the same will have been issued in the
Holstein-Friesan Record.
AT the State fair referred to above
Prof. w. C. Carlisle of the University of
Idaho, publicly announced that the aged
Holstein cows exhibited were one OF the
finest lots of cattle ever gathered in a
show-ring anywhere in the world and it
would probably be long before the quail
ity of the cows present was equaied

The following system of rotation in the
green stuff supply has been in use for
several years on the poultry plant of
the Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station with entirely satisfactory re-
suits. 1t should be said that owing to
the small area of ground available for
the poultry work at the Station in re-
1atien to the number of birds it is nee
essary to carry, green food must be
added TO the ration practically
throughout the year. not only for the
adult fowls in the laying houses, but
also for the chicks growing on the
range. The number of birds reared is
so great in proportion to the area
which can be devoted To them that
the natural pasturage is very quickly
exhausted.
Beginning with the time in the fall
of the year when the pullets are put
into the laying house they are given
green corn fodder chopped fine in Il
feed cutter. This is fed stocks, leaves
and ears Qf there are any all together.
TIE pieces are cut from a quarter 10
a half inch in length by the feed cut
ter used. This green corn fodder is
enc OF the most satisfactory sources of
green food for poultry which the Maine
Agricultural Experiment Station has
ever been able to discover. The birds
eat it ravenously and in large quanti-
ties 1t may be safely fed in larger
amounts than any other green food yet
tried. After the corn has been killed
by frost so as no longer to be available
the birds are given cabbage and m;tn-
Colds fed with the tops on. These
,,lo ~,
December or january. Then the oat
sprouter is started and green sprouted
oats serve as the chief source of green
food until WELDON into the spring tApril
or May. The green oats are supple
mented with mangolds or with clover
hay cut III short lengths with the feed
cutter and steamed. In case clover hay
is not available cut alfalfa is some
times substituted for. this. AS soon as
possible in the spring fresh green Glow
er is cut from the range and fed TO
the birds IN the houses. To the young
chicks in the breeders, however, the
best source OF green food which has
vet been found is green sprouted oats.
To these little chicks only the tops are
fed and these are cut fine. In the reg
tilar crop rotation system carried out
on the range green corn. Dwarf Essex
rape. mangolds and cabbages are plant
ed each spring. The green corn. Dwarf
Essex rape and the Trimmings from the
mqngolds are used during the summer
TO feed both the adult birds in the
houses and the growing chickens on
the range after the natural pasturage
has become exhausted. Dwarf Essex
rape is an excellent source of green
food for poultry but it must be fed
with great caution to birds which are
laying, because if eaten in any consid :
cradle amounts ii may color the yolks
of the eggs green with disastrous re-
suits in the market.
Following such a system as is outlin-
ed above it is possible to have through
out the year a continuance of green
fodder well calculated to keep the birds
IN the best OF physical condition and
at the maximum of productivity.
