Quantity Of silaas For a Cow.

A COW weighing 1000 pounds will
consume on an average about thirty
pounds Of corn silage daily, Fifteen
pounds may be fed In the morning and
fifteen pounds in the evening. The al
iowance may be increased or decreased
In proportion to the cows weight and
individual needs. Some cows weighing
Il thousand pounds require more silage
than others of the same weight. 1t Is
well TO feed regularly, and 1t does not
make much difference when the cows
are fed provided they are fed regular
ly. AS rule, we believe 1t better to
feed sllage Immediately after milking
In the morning rather than before. If
care is not exercised there is some dan
ger OF the silage tainting the milk

THE COLT IN WINTER.
Growing Animals Need a Ration of
Grain and Warm Stalls.

During the cold winter days the colt
needs some grain to keep him growing
and IN good flesh. The older horses
may get through fairly well on rough
age. but they are not developing bone
aud muscle like the colt. Then they are
larger and naturally have more beat in
their bodies. The grain given the colt
should be ground so that he can thor
ougbly masticate IL and get all the
nourlshment II contains. He should be
fed in good. tight troughs so that he
will be certain TO get all OF II. Also
be needs TO be shut away from Older
animals while eating 10 they will not
steal his daily ration. Oats and corn
ground together make a splendid feed.
0nef fourth oats and three fourths corn
Is about the proper proportion for win
ter feed.
Then the colt should have good shell
ter from the storms. The old horse
may stand the sleet and snow and
rains and biting winds. but the colt
will soon become pinched. and he needs
good warm stall where he will be
protected from the furious weather
Keep him well housed and he viii need
less feed and come through the winter

the storms. A box stall IL by IA feet
will accommodate three or four colts

The colts should be fed plenty OF hay.
and IL II IL clover or alfalfa so much
the better. During the warm. sunny
days they may be allowed to run out in
the pastures or lots This gives them
plenty Of exercise, and they will keep
the more healthy.
1t Is a good plan to watch the colts

to grow long. there may be a split hoof
or deformed ankle. II the colt gets

While, according to this plan, 1t is q
little more expensive to take colt
through the winter than would be the
case where the little fellow is allowed
to rough 1t. yet in the end there is
economy In good care. This applies
particularly in the case Of draft colts,
where weight at maturity is a most
important factor.

Cause Of Notified Butter.

Mottled butter may be due to several
causes. II the cream is not strained
into the churn there are likely to be
large specks Of curd in the butter, as
the curd will not take up the coloring
matter used for coloring the butter.
The most common cause of mottled
butter is the improper mixing of salt
and the presence of too much butter
milk. When care is taken to thor
oughly wash out all buttermilk and to
mix the salt evenly throughout the
butter there is very little danger of
producing mottled butter.
