corn, two parts bran and one part
soy bean meal, or equal parts corn,
bran and malt sprouts. Of either OF
these rations feed as many pounds
per day as the COW produces fat per
week, or, calculating on the basis of
milk, feed one pound Of grain for
three pounds of milk for Jerseys and
one to three and one-half or four to
the Holstein. We suggest that from
20 to 40 pounds of succulent feed such
as roots or kale or silage be added to
the ration if possible.
ESTIMATING WHAT A COW WILL
TEST.
Question:: [ have COW that after
milking one year gives seven quarts
of milk per day which tests ga per
cent fat. What is your estimate of
what she would have tested one
month after freshening. She is a
Shorthorn with Jersey cross. M.
M. G.. Omak, Wash.
Answer: Cows that test from to
4. during their best flow of milk or
while giving from 40 to so pounds of
milk will usually test as high as 9
per cent when the amount of milk
falls as low as seven quarts per day.
MILKING OUT BEFORE
FRESHENING.
Question: Provided a cows udder
fill very tight and leak out milk prior
to caIving, would you advise milking
her? 7. K. B. Mossyrock, Wash.
Answer: To prevent serious con-
gestion of the udder, it becomes
necessary to milk some COWS before
they freshen. This should be done
with care, and in no case should all
the milk be removed, only enough to
relieve the strain. Ii such milking
out is practiced some time before the
COW freshens there is danger of hav-
ing very little colostrum which is
necessary for the calf.
IS KALE BETTER THAN SILAGE?
Question: Kindly advise me in the
following questions: Is silage better
than kale for COWS? Give feeding
value of carrots compared to shorts.
Shorts is $50 per ton. Also balance
ration for a COW weighing 800 pounds
and giving 40 pounds of milk, with
the following feeds: Carrots, kale
and clover hay. T. e. d. Brush
Prairie, Wash.
Answer: Presumably this cor
respondent refers to corn silage. Kale
is generally considered better feed
than corn silage in localities where
the former is grown extensively.
However, that will depend somewhat
on the kind Of grain and hay that is
fed in each case. Kale is high in
digestible protein, while corn silage
is high in carbohydrates.
1t is no easy matter to compare the
feeding value of shorts and carrots,
because they are so different in com
position. Ii we we're to depend upon
carrots alone for milk production we
| would find, to our sorrow, that our
COWS would dry up. Carrots are high
in water content and the digestible
dry matter is nearly all carbohydrates.
Shorts is high protein feed and is
classed as a concentrate. 1t may be
possible to get bran for about S25 per
ton, in which case it would be better
to feed that in preference to shorts at

5. The only simple and accurate
way to test cream for fat is by the
Babcock method using the scale and
not the pipette. In order to furnish
to your customers a uniform grade of
cream proceed as follows: Suppose
you have 40 gallons of milk (about 325
pounds) testing per cent fat and
you run this through your separator
skimming a cream of 40 per cent or
above. Four per cent of 1926 will give
you 13 pounds of fat which will practi
cally all be in the cream IL your
separator is working properly. Weigh
the cream-we will say for example
that we have 80 pounds in which there
are 13 pounds of fat. Dividing ID
by 80 and multiplying by 100 will give
you the per cent of fat in this cream,
without testing, provided you have
made no errors in weighing and pro-
vided that your original milk tested
exactly per cent. This makes our
cream test 43. 3 per cent fat as it comes
from the separator This will be
whipping cream to be sure, but
cream of lower per cent fat will whip
quite as we'll at low temperatures, so
we prefer to make 35 per cent cream
out of it, Divide your ID pounds of
fat by 35 Tor what other per cent of
fat you wish to make) and multiply
by 100, the result will be the number
of pounds of cream it will be neces-
sary to make. For your problem this
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-03-15

figures to 81. 1, that is, you must add
IL pounds of skimmilk to your &c
pounds of 43. 3 per cent cream in order
to have cream that will test 35 per
cent. This can be calculated in like
manner for any other per cent of fat.
6. Jersey bulls from good stock can
usually be obtained from breeders of
pure bred Jersey cattle. Write to the
American Jersey Cattle Club, 324 W
23rd ST., New York City, New York,
for names of Jersey breeders in your
vicinity. If your COWS are grade
Jerseys it would certainly be unwise
to use Holstein bull. We would adj
wise that since your community is
largely Jersey center, three or four
breeders buy good bull, dividing
the COSTS In this way a first class
animal can be obtained at low cost
to each breeder.
A GOOD RATION.
Question:: Will you please help me
out littleY | have few COWS, some
part Jersey and some Holsteins. l
want to produce cream to sell to the
creamery. l have plenty of mixed
clover and grass hay. What I want
to know is: With grain at the follow
ing prices, what shall l buy and how
much shall feed: Corn meal $50, soy

Answer: We prefer clover alone to
mixed clover and grass hay, but if the
latter is of good quality it may be

NASHINGTON. Aug. 1S-Thc fight for the seat of Henry D. Clayton. sen ator from Alabama, began in earnest today. A statement by Senator Rcbin- son of Arkansas, upholding Governor O'NeaTs action in appointing a success sor to the late Senator Johnston. be- came public earlN in the day and at the close of the scnatc's session Bank head of Alabama, asked permission for d public printing of the legal opinions upon which tho governor based his ac- tion. Bankhcad said that CIayton's credentials will be presented in the senate later, but the time was not fixed.
 The Alabama case is the first to test the authority of the governor to fill d vacancy since the direct election amendment to the constitution was adopted. The contest centers around the interpretation of the concluding words of the new amendment providing the amendment shall not be so con strued as to affect the election or term of any senator chosen before it be- came valid as a part of the constitution. Clayton's friends say the term of office did not end with the death of the in cumbent.

Grapes and Sawdust

From the Independent.
Your choice California grapes are
now coming to the dealer packed in red
wood sawdust. Another waste product
has thus been turned into a wealth pro-
ducer.
The sawdust, which accumuiates in
such large quantities about lumber
camps as to be positive detriment, Is
now found to be worth money to tho
fruit men, being considered as efficient
in protecting grapes as the powdered
cork in which Spanish grapes arc
packed. The luscious bunches are placed
between layers of the sawdust, which
settles about each berry, keeping them
from rubbing against each other and
acting as a cushion to prevent them
from jarring.
This is the second season in which the
new packing has been used to any OK
tent in California, and the test has now
passed the experimental stage and Is
declared to be commercial success
From the county of San joaquin alone
there are shipped more than $500 car
