ALFALFA HAY EQUAL TO BRAN
Excellent Ration for Dairy Cow Can
BE Made Of Corn sllage, Cow
peas and Dat Hay.

In response to a query as to a good
ration for a dairy cow the Hoard's
Dairyman makes the following reply:
A very good ration can be made by
letting each animal have daily thirty
pounds corn silage and a liberal al
lowance Of cowpea and oat hay. A
mixture consisting Of 400 pounds corr
chop, 300 pounds bran and 100 pounds
cotton-seed meal will supplement this
roughage very well. It will require
about one pound OF this mixture to
produce three and a half pounds of
average testing milk. If 1t is desir-
abel to force the animals a little. then
more grain should be fed than we
have stated. On the other hand, II the
hay Is Of very good quality, perhaps q
little less grain would be required.
A fine grade of alfalfa hay is almost
equal to bran, but alfalfa hay, like the
sample enclosed. is by no means equal
to bran. The stems of this sample are
coarse and bleached, showing that 1t
has been exposed to the elements, and
has comparatively few leaves. This
kind Of alfalfa hay Is by no means
equal to fne-stemmed, wellleaved and
cured-in-the. shade alfalfa. There Is
probably no feedstuf that varies quite
80 much in quality as hay. The anal
yses of hays are based upon a reason
ably goo quality. The time Of cutting,
the curing and the general care given
the hay have very much to do with It's
value.
