Questions and Answers.
ALFALFA HAY RATION.

Question: l want to find out the
most economical feeds to combine
with alfalfa hay in feeding milk COWS.
The alfalfa [ am feeding is third
cutting and only about half matured
when cut, raised on ground over
flowed in spring, but not otherwise
irrigated. l also have salt grass hay
of which the COWS eat little.
The feeds available here are: Al
falfa hay, $500 per ton; bran, S27 per
ton; ground wheat, $25 per ton;
ground oats, $50 per ton; salt grass
hay, $500 per ton; shorts, $50 per
ton; proteina, $3.50 per cwt; rolled
barley, S35 per ton.
shall be very grateful for this in
formation. Fl. j. A.
Answer: Your letter of October
25th addressed to the Agricultural
College has been referred to this de-
partment for reply. For the best re-
suits in feeding dairy COWS ] would
feed all the alfalfa hay the COWS will
eat up clean, and i'll addition one
pound of grain to three or three and
one half pounds of milk produced
daily. However, it would be neces-
sary to feed this in two feeds. more
specifically, l would say that if COW
is giving 80 pounds Of average milk
daily, she should get 10 pounds of
grain divided into two feeds of five
pounds each. The grain mixture to
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-11-15

go with alfalfa hay should be equal
parts of bran and ground oats. l
would suggest in addition to this that
you feed some succulent food such as
silage, mangels, carrots, apples OF
potatoes; anything to take the piece
of the green pasture which is so de-
sirable for economic milk production.
While we can balance a ration from
dry feeds in such a way as to furnish
all the nutrients and bulk necessary
to maintain the body and make milk,
we find that large production is not
possible unless the COW gets some
green feed. In case the COWS get very
much salt grass hay, 1t might be nee
essary to add little oil meal or pro-

Dairying As a Business

Dairy farming is paying PROPOSE
business, but unless the farmer is
willing to spend a certain amount of
time in improving on his general
business methods, he will realize very
small profits, and in the end will
most likely become disguised.
To the farmer who complains that
there is no money in the dairy bust
ness and can show no figures or proof
for his assertion, | have little to say
for he is so often hopeless case.
He is generally one who has been in
the business for a short time; has
spent very little time in studying
better dairy methods and has not the
slightest idea of what each of his
COWS are producing.
RECORD OF COST OF PRODUC-
TON NECESSARY.
Business methods on the farm are
just as important as in any other line
of work, and in dariyiDg it means the
keeping of records on cost OF feed and
the butterfat production OF each COW.
With the use of these records the I'M
profitable COW may be located and
discarded from the herds Ii this be
done, the production of the average
cow may be increased 100 per cent
and the net profits may be increased
200 per cent.

TYPE DOES NOT ALWAYS
DECIDE WORTH.

The worth of COW cannot be de-
termined by the type alone or with
out the aid of records; but the Bah
cock test and spring balance scales,
together with the adoption of good
business methods, will greatly help
the farmer to Increase the butterfat
production of his COWS and to put
dairy farming on paying basis.

DAIRY FARMER DOES NOT
KNOW THE COST OF
PRODUCTION.


The farmer as a class is perhaps the
only business man today who sells
goods of which he does not know the
cost. The factory man knows the ex-
act cost of every machine or piece of
goods that be puts ont and he is con-
stantly figuring with an aim to reduc-
ing the cost of manufacture to
minimum in order to realize any
profits.
FARMER MUST SAVE WASTE.
The dairy farmer as producer may
also save waste and reduce the cost
of production by discarding the
valueless COW and thereby increase
the average production of his herd.
He must adopt the best methods
whereby he can furnish better prod
uct at lower cost.
HE MUST KNOW THE COST. :
In order that the cost of production
may be reduced, the dairy farmer
must first know something about the
cost, and few of them have any idea
of the amount of feed the COWS eat
or it's value, nor do they know how
much milk or milk fat each COW is
producing in payment for her feed.
His object in keeping a cow is to
realize some profit from that which
she produces, yet as a rule, he does
not know whether she is making or
losing money for him.
TWENTY FIVE PER CENT OF
COWS UNPROFITABLE.
From 25 to 80 per cent of the dairy
cows in Washington are Improbable
to their owners and it is high time
that some plan be adopted whereby
these worthless COWS may be located
and discarded from the herd. Ii the
owner will only keep record of each
COW, both of the food consumed and
the milk and butter fat produced,
he will soon discover the Improbable
cow among his herd, if there be any,
and will not long endure her presence
in bis herd.

one OF his letters: "I am done up,
and must get into the open air. Pops
won't leave me in peace any longer"
At the time when almost all the
musical world had turned against
him. he would sometimes, in his
walks with the dog declaim aloud
against his foes. Then the dog would
rush backward and forward, barking
and swapping. as if helping his mast
er to defeat his enemies.
When Wagner returned home from
an excursion to some other city, Pops
would always receive a present as
we'll as the other members of the
family.
"Peps received them joyfully,' he
writes to a friend after one of these
excursions.
When the time came for the little
life to be ended, Wagner scarcely left
the dying dogs side. He even put off
two days an important journey be-
cause of Peps illness and death.
He writes afterwards to his friend
Praeger: He died in my arms or
the night of the 9th, passing away
without a sound, quietly AMI peace
fully.
On the morrow we buried him in
the garden beside the house. | cried
much, and since then l have felt bit
ter pain and sorrow for the dear
friend of the past thirteen years who
even worked and walked with me
and yet there are those who would
scott at our feeling in such matter

WAGNER'S DOG FRIENDS.
Great Composer Was Devoted TO His
Canine Companions.

Wagner, the great musical COM
poser, had several dog friends. Al
one time, in Vienna. he had a dog
named Pol, and at another time one
called Leo, whom he had saved from
starvation. But his greatest dos
friend was Pops, who was his COM
panion for thirteen years.
Wagner used to say that Pops help
ed him to compose his famous opera
"Tannhauser."
He said that while he was at the
piano singing, Pops, whose place was
generally at his masters feet, would
sometimes spring on the table and
howl piteously and then the musi-
clan would say to him, What. it does
not suit you?" and then. shaking the
dogs paw, he would say, quoting
Puck, "Well, 1 will do thy bidding
gently"
If Wagner stayed too long at his
work Pops would remind him that
it was time for a walk. He writes In

RAILROAD IN
THE CLOUDS
New Line in Bolivia Is a Triumph of
Engineering.

The opening of the Arica-La Paz
triumphs of railway engineering. The
vast wall of the Andes. which stretch
es for thousands of miles along the
Pacific coast has seemed to defy rail-
road builders. Yet their genius, time
and again has pierced the wall.
A year or so ago the first short
line from the Pacific to the Atlantic
was signaled by the railway through
the Uspallata pass, which Joined the
systems of Chill and the Argentine
Republic. other lines climbing right
into the heart of the Andes had been
built in Peru and in Ecuador. There
was also a winding line from Antofa-
gasta up from Chill to the Bolivian
tabeland and the Peruvian route by
way of Lake Titicaca.
But the La PaZ-Arica line is by far
the shortest. A great advantage will
be for passengers to be able to get
from the coast to the heart of Bo-
livia in the midst of the perpetual
SHOWS of the Cordilleras, in about
fifteen hours. The Arica-La PaZ line
starts from africa, or. rather, from
Tacna. for there has been a line
across the valley from africa 10 Tao
ma. on the edge of the sandy desert
for many years.
A tremendous crag or spur of the
mountain-the Morro-beetles right
out over the sea, but at the base
there is smooth water, practically a
sheltered harbor. Far up in the An
des sometimes can be seen the glis-
tening snowcap of Mount Taena
